Excerpt
The innocent looking woman had a
tarts taste in clothes, better and better as far as his libido was
concerned. Her blonde hair was short, full of wavy curls around her head,
and enhanced Ann’s aura of pureness even further. He stepped back and
watched her ass and the plain black cotton panties peek out from beneath
her skirt. There was no clear shot of her pussy, but that didn’t stop
him from trying to find one. The more he saw, the more he was sure she was
a woman he had to photograph. Already he could see her in a variety of
scenarios, most of them naked.
Sighing, he reached down and
squeezed his cock through his jeans as he gave himself some hard truths.
He, Tom Baker, was a sucker for this particular woman. She was the perfect
mixture of sweetness and raw sex, and he seriously wanted an invitation to
play.
“What a great view. Can the people
down there see up in here?”
“Nope, they can’t see a thing.
When the lights are on up here and dark down there, outlines might be
visible, but only to those really looking for it.”
“It’s a little scary, dangling
so high above the floor, but really cool. Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.” Ann moved
back to the other side of the desk, passing so closely by him, Tom felt
his dick jump for a more focused touch.
“Here,
have a seat, and start filling these out. I know it’s late, but we might
as well take the time to sort everything out now, then it’s done.”
“Okay, thanks.”
With confidence the decision to
remain calm gave him, he looked up and across his desk at the woman
who’d drawn his lustful side out. Shit! The hard-on was still there and
with her so close, it was twitching for attention.
“So, are you from
Yorkshire
?”
“No, I’m new to the area. I love
exploring places I’ve never been and meeting people I may never have met
if I hadn’t visited. It’s a wonderful experience.”
“Where do you live?”
“I found an apartment above the
bookshop on the other side of the square.”
“Remember to be careful when you
leave work. It’s late when you get off and although the area is safe,
you never know who might try and follow you home. In fact, see if one of
the guys behind the bar will walk you home. It’ll take them five minutes
tops, there and back, so not a big deal. The police department is at the
back of us, but so are the castle ruins, its grounds, and stairs leading
down to the river Nidd. If you aren’t careful, there are lots of places
for bad things to happen.”
“Thank you. It’s my nature to
see the best in people so don’t take into consideration what might be a
bad situation.”
“You’re really beautiful, have
you, um, every modeled before?”
She broke out in laughter. Okay, not
at all the response he’d expected, and yet he wasn’t upset because it
was such an infectious sound.
“Is this some kind of test?”
“Sorry?”
“Isn’t that a line guys give to
girls when they want to pick them up for sex or something like that?”
“Oh, yes, but I didn’t mean it
that way. I’m a photographer. In the next month Rod’s going to be
taking over the club and I’ll be stepping back to spend more time
developing my career behind the camera.”
“What a wonderful way to make a
living. I bet you’re really good at it.”
“Hmmm, yeah, I’m pretty good.
I’ve done a bit of work with portraits and, I don’t know, there’s
something really striking about you that tempts me to see if I could
capture you on film.”
“I’m, um, flattered.”
“Of course I’d pay you for your
time.”
“How about you take me out, show
me the sights, then we’ll see about the photo thing.”
He sensed a hesitation about her and
wondered what it could be. Most women he knew liked to have their pictures
taken. Then again, hadn’t he already figured out Ann wasn’t like most
women. Actually, she wasn’t like any woman he’d spent time with.
“Sounds like a plan. How about
tomorrow?”
“Sure. K.C. said the next time
I’m needed is Thursday.”
Ann laughed again as she looked at
him with that luminous open smile. She brought a glow with her he enjoyed
basking in, even if at that moment, he’d rather hear her moaning with
pleasure.
“So, do you have someone waiting
for you at home?”
“Nope, I’m free and looking for
someone to, um—”
“What?” Tom was on the edge of
his seat, curious about her pause. He was really curious to hear what she
was looking for in a guy?
“Well, someone to love me of
course.”
“Of course.” She bent over and
went back to filling in the forms, so he figured she’d said all she was
going to say on the subject. Then after a minute, without looking up, she
continued in a quiet voice.
“Faithful, and wants a family at
some point. He also needs to make me laugh. I think laughing is important.
Then there’s the sex, which is key to any healthy relationship. We’ll
turn each other on and really like sex, you know, enjoy stepping outside
the box.”
“What do you mean, outside the
box?” Oh man, please, she was turning out to be exactly what he wanted
in life, just let her say what he’s hoping she’d say and he’d be
happy.
“Well, you know, play around. Be
open to exploring both the roses and thorns of love.”
She didn’t say it outright, but he
wanted so badly for her to be looking for what he enjoyed experiencing, he
sought answers through a more direct route.
“You mean you want to submit your
body into the care of another?”
“Yes.”
“Let them tie you up and give you
unimagined pleasure?”
“Mmmm.”
“Open you to a darker side of
passion?”
“Oh yes, that’s exactly what I
want with a partner.” Ann was looking right at him, her eyes bright and
dreamy.
Tom couldn’t take his eyes off
her. She would be his. Wait, what if she wasn’t attracted to him? Or
didn’t want to take on him and his past? Some women were turned off by
tattoos and he had a body full of them. It was an odd moment for him to be
insecure about a woman. He’d never had a doubt, but then up until Ann
the angel walked into his club, it had all been about sex. There was
something about her that made him want to reach for more.
“You understand so perfectly, is
it what you want as well?”
The strength behind her voice left
him no doubt in what to say. Honesty was the only thing he’d ever give
her.
“Yes, it’s what I’m looking
for.”
Silence filled the room as the two
of them looked at each other and nowhere else, then she surprised him
again by going straight to the point.
“Do you find me attractive?”
“Hell yes!”
Her smiled bloomed even bigger as
she settled her elbow on the desk, leaned over, and rested her chin in her
hand.
“I think you’re pretty sexy as
well.”
“You should know I have quite a
bit of ink beneath these clothes.”
“Are you embarrassed about your
tattoos?”
“No way, they represent things
that are important to me.”
“Then I can’t wait to see
them.”
Standing up, he walked around the
desk, lifted her hand to his lips, and placed a slow kiss to the top. He
wanted so much more, but would settle for the simple touch.
“This puts a new twist on tomorrow
then, if you’re up for something different that is.”
“Absolutely.”
“Good. I’d like it if we kept
whatever happens between us. People know far too much about my life and
I’d like to keep this private.”
“I’ve heard a few things and
totally agree. You’ve moved beyond that wild kid in the rock band,
It’s time people respected your choice to get on with your life.”
The woman standing in front of him,
hands on her hips, fairly bristled with anger. If asked, he wouldn’t
find it difficult to think she was as pissed off and ready to fight on his
behalf. Shit, she looked so damn sexy, he wasn’t sure how he was going
to walk away from her until tomorrow.
“If I walk you to your apartment
door, see that you arrive safely, may I kiss you good night?”
“Oh yes, that would be lovely.”
“Ann, you are incredible.”
“Thank you, you aren’t so bad
yourself.”
“Shit, tomorrow can’t come soon
enough.”
“You know, technically, it’s
already tomorrow, and we could—”
“No, we can’t. Come on, the
sooner we get moving, the quicker tomorrow will really be here.”
