A slight smile crossed her lips, and she stepped back up to the man, so close that her knees brushed against the denim of his jeans. If he got off by ordering her around, she could do that for him.
Reaching behind herself, she found the clasp of her bra. With a slight tug, it came undone. The material loosened around her, and she wiggled her shoulders. She bent forward slightly so that the bra slipped off her body and down her arms.
She heard his sharp intake of breath. When the lace confection reached her hand, she twirled it about her finger and boldly dropped it in his lap. He snatched up the bra as if it burned, but she could tell that his attention was solely on her.
The attention was flattering.
It was also a turn-on.
Dani couldn’t help it; she was becoming aroused. She didn’t know if that was supposed to happen, but all her muscles had gone warm and loose. Her breasts felt heavy, and she could feel the moisture gathering between her legs.
“Now what?” she asked silkily.
Reno eyes narrowed. There was something about the throaty tone of her voice. He let his gaze drop slowly. It immediately got stuck on her breasts. They were full, and her nipples were tight. He swallowed hard and let the visual journey continue. There was an even rise and fall to her stomach with every breath she took, but her thighs were pressed together almost rigidly. As he watched, she rubbed them against each other.
She was aroused. The knowledge hit him in the gut like a sledgehammer.
She was getting into this.
He stared at her hard through the pale moonlight, and the air between them practically crackled. There was no doubt about it. Her nipples were stiffening as she stood there. She was reacting, all right, but what was she reacting to—the act or him?
He had to find out.
“Get rid of the stockings,” he said roughly. “Now.”
She wavered for a split second. Then she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Her breasts lifted, and the reckless half of him nearly went crazy.
When she opened her eyes again, they were filled with determination. He groaned when her stiletto heel landed on the arm of the chair next to his clenched fist. Damn, but he wanted to touch her.
“Slow,” he ordered her. “Keep it slow.”
Her nylon-clad leg was propped right up at eye level. He watched in fascination as she fumbled with the strap of her garter until the black hose loosened. His fingers itched to help her when she reached for the back catch, but it soon gave way with a silent pop. He started breathing harder when she began to roll the silk down her leg, past her knee, and toward her toes. When she pointed the heel of the shoe at him, he grabbed it and threw it across the room. She flinched, but the thin hose soon followed, and he fought to stay in the chair.
Dani’s heart pounded as she moved to the other leg. She couldn’t believe she was doing this. A man she couldn’t even see was sitting in front of her, hidden in the shadows, watching her do something extremely intimate. She was baring her body to a total stranger.
Her nipples tightened almost painfully at the thought, and a shiver ran through her. She’d never been so sexually excited in her life.
Finally, she pushed the garter belt down over her hips and stood in front of him wearing nothing but the G-string. She tried to look through the shadows, but she couldn’t see him. She preferred it that way.
If she couldn’t see him, she could stay lost in her fantasy.
She could pretend she was teasing Reno mercilessly, punishing him for all he’d put her through over the past half-year. And she was tormenting this man… She could tell by the way he shifted uncomfortably in the cushioned leather chair.
She swallowed hard and tried to gather her nerve. It was time to make him suffer even more.
“Is there room on that chair for me?”
She took a cautious step toward him, and he drew his knees together so she had room to straddle him. Warily, she put one knee onto the cushion beside his hip. She could feel his heat. His desire lashed at her like hot flames. It intimidated the hell out of her, but she lifted herself fully onto the chair and settled across his lap. His thighs bunched up beneath her, and her belly clenched.
The man was built like Reno, strong and fit. Up close, he was no longer some hazy, hidden figure. He was real.
It made the fantasy so much better…
Reno watched Dani come at him, totally stunned. There was a faraway look in her eyes as she climbed onto the chair with him, but she knew exactly what she was doing.
And she wanted to do it!
He made himself stay glued to the seat. Her breasts bounced lightly as she settled into position, and he clenched his teeth together. Her shyness was gone, and in its place was thick arousal. It melted over him like warm syrup. He was no longer some hazy, hidden figure to her. He was flesh and blood.
