She had never been naked in front of a man, but she wanted Daniel to see her. She wanted his eye on her breasts and her legs, and she was shocked to realize how desperately she wanted to see his body.
Lana felt a thrill as she saw his readiness. She had only felt his desire through layers of fabric, and it was intoxicating to see him eager and waiting. She jumped down from the desk, and Daniel stepped forward to press his naked body against her. His length pressed against her stomach as he kissed her.
She couldn't wait anymore. Lana pushed against his chest and saw his surprise at her forcefulness. He gave a rueful smile as he allowed her to walk him backward, and then he was pulling her down to the floor with him. They kissed all the way down, first on their knees and then flat on the floor.
Lana draped herself across his body, and he guided her legs over his hips, so she was straddling him.
His hand moved between them as he guided his length to her opening.
"That's right, Sunshine." Daniel smiled, placing his hands on her hips.
Lana gasped as he guided her down, slowly entering her. She kept her eyes locked on his as he began to rock his hips gently.
"Are ye alright?" he asked, staring up at her.
Lana couldn't speak. She only nodded as she reveled in the sensation of him sliding in and out of her. She leaned down to kiss him, placing her hands on either side of his head as her breasts pressed against his chest.
Then they moved faster. Another ball of warmth was forming deep in Lana's core, and she rocked her hips to increase her pleasure. Daniel's hand cupped her breasts, and she gasped as she felt how sensitive they were.
With an athleticism that shocked her, Daniel flipped her on her back. He was suddenly in control, thrusting into her hard and fast as he continued to tease her breasts. His other hand dipped between her legs, and she cried out as he found her sensitive spot.
With only a whisper of a touch, Lana crashed over the edge, and then Daniel cried out above her.
His muscles tightened, and he dropped his hands to the floor, holding himself up as he climaxed. He groaned in pleasure as Lana gasped beneath him, overcome with her own release.
With a final moan, Daniel dropped his head to Lana's shoulder and placed a gentle kiss on her collarbone.

"Are ye happy?" Daniel asked, cradling Lana's head against his chest. His hand ran up her back, leaving goosebumps in its wake.
"Very happy," she purred as she nestled into his chest.
"Then ye daenae regret breaking yer rule?" he asked.
Lana heard the laughter in his voice and knew he was teasing her. But she pulled back so she could look him in the eye.
"I dinnae break me rule," she said.
She was serious, filled with a certainty that had only grown stronger in their time together.
"What do ye mean?" Daniel asked.
"I said I wouldnae lie with ye unless I loved ye." Lana raised her eyebrows, hoping he would understand the unspoken part of her statement.
It was hard to read his expression when the eyepatch still covered part of his face. One eyebrow turned down and his right eye narrowed as he looked at her.
"What are ye sayin'?"
"I'm sayin' I love ye," Lana burst out. "And I think ye care for me too."
She watched Daniel shift, and then he searched the floor around him. He found his shirt and quickly pulled it over his head.
"Ye're just grateful," he muttered, avoiding her gaze.
Lana felt a stab of embarrassment in her chest, but she pushed forward, unwilling to give up. She knew Daniel cared for her, and more than anything, she wanted him to say it.
"Iamgrateful," she said, standing up. "But that isnae why this happened. Can ye look at me and say ye daenae love me?"
