"Oh, aye.It literally means 'the devil's penis.'However, it's used as curse word."
Joey's hands move to the waistband of his trews, his eyes never leaving mine as he slowly unlaces them.The tension in the room is palpable, crackling like lightning before a storm.As the fabric slides down his legs, revealing more of his tanned skin, I feel a rush of heat flood my cheeks.I've never seen a man fully unclothed before, and the sight of Joey standing before me, bare as the day he was born, sends a shiver of excitement through me.He's all lean muscle and sharp angles, a stark contrast to the softness of my own form.
The thickness of his cock makes my mouth water, and I drag my tongue over my lips---three times.The tip of his arousal is rosy red, with a drop of clear liquid poised on the tip.
"Your turn," he declares, his voice low and gravelly, his chest rising and falling heavily.
I hesitate for a moment, then I begin fumbling with the laces of my bodice.
Joey steps forward, his breaths warm against my ear."Let me do that."
With deft fingers, Joey delicately unlaces my bodice, his knuckles grazing my skin with every movement.As the fabric falls away, exposing my breasts to the cool air, I fight the urge to cover myself.My nipples have pearled, and the tightness of them gives me a shivery sensation.My own juices dribble down my thighs.
Joey groans deeply as he roams his gaze over my body."You are so fucking beautiful.And the scent of your lust is making my dick stiffen even more."
His words embolden me.I let my skirts pool at my feet, standing before him as naked as he is.The vulnerability of the moment is both thrilling and terrifying, and I can't believe I'm doing this with a stranger.Yet oddly, he doesn't feel like a stranger to me.
"Now what?"Joey asks.
"Lie down on the bed."
His lips stretch into a sensual smile as he follows my command, stretching out on the narrow bed.The candlelight flickers across his sculpted body, casting enticing shadows.I hesitate for a moment, overcome by the sight of him.With trembling fingers, I reach out to trace the hard planes of his chest.His skin is warm beneath my touch, and I marvel at the way his muscles tense and relax.Joey's breath hitches as I explore lower, following the trail of dark hair that leads to his impressive manhood.
"Rachel," he groans, his hips lifting slightly off the bed.
"Oh, Joey," I breathe, my fingers tracing the hard planes of his chest."I...I'm not sure what to do next."
His eyes soften as he gently grasps my hand."We don't have to do anything you're not ready for.Just lie down beside me."
I slide onto the narrow bed, keenly aware of every point where our skin touches.Joey wraps an arm around me, drawing me close against his warm body.The feeling of his bare skin against mine sends tingles racing across my flesh.Joey's hand traces lazy circles on my back as we lie here, our breathing slowly syncing.The initial urgency fades into a comfortable intimacy.
"Tell me more about where ye come from," I say, nestling closer to Joey's warmth.His scent envelops me, a heady mix of leather, spice, and something uniquely him.
His hand stills on my back for a moment before resuming its gentle caress."It's...different from here.Louder.Faster.There are machines that can take you anywhere in the world in a matter of hours.Buildings that reach so high they seem to touch the sky."
I try to imagine such wonders, but my mind struggles to comprehend them."It sounds magical."
He chuckles, the rumble vibrating through his chest."Some might say that.But it has its downsides too.People are always in a rush, always connected to their devices---little machines that can show you destinations beyond the reach of the human eye.Sometimes I think technology has made us lose touch with what's really important."
"And what do ye think is important?"
Joey remains quiet for a moment."Connection.Real, human connection.The kind where you can look into someone's eyes and see their soul.The kind we're sharing right now."
His words send a shiver through me, and I tilt my head up to meet his gaze.The intensity I find there takes my breath away.Without thinking, I lean in and press my lips to his.Our kiss is different from the first one---slower, deeper, filled with a tenderness that makes my heart ache.But for now, I'm content to bask in his warmth and the quiet intimacy that surrounds us.
Abruptly, he peels his mouth away from mine."You should be in charge, Rachel.Do whatever wicked things you want to me, and I guarantee I'll love every minute of it.When you're ready, I'll fuck you until the sun comes up."
Oh my, I cannae wait for that.
Chapter Seven
Joey
The look on Rachel's face makes me want to pounce on her like a wild jaguar that hasn't mated with a female in years.To see the sweet virgin gazing at me with intense hunger, her focus locked on my groin, is the hottest thing I've ever seen.Should I be doing this with her?A good man would say no.We just met today.But I've never been a particularly good man, and doing bad things is my forte.
I need to fuck Rachel.
But as I raise my head, she places a hand on my forehead to push me back down."I will control the situation, Joey, if you please."
