He was carrying me, and I hadn't remembered him picking me up. «Where are we going?» I whispered.

«The couch,» he said.

«We have to be quick.»

He laid me down upon the couch, my knees bent, and him kneeling between them. «We can be quick now, because I know that there will be long later.»

«All because I blushed for you,» I said.

«Yes.» He laid me down on the couch. There wasn't room for him to lie beside me, so he stood, and began to take off his clothes.

«If we take off the corset it will take forever to get it back on.»

«The corset can stay.» He threw his shirt and jacket on the arm of the couch. He stood there for a moment nude from the waist up. I stared up at him, stupidly, that golly, wow look on my face. I couldn't help it. He was so beautiful, and I knew that the rest of him was just as beautiful. I could look at him with knowledgeable anticipation. It made me shiver just staring up at him like that.

«The look on your face, Anita, mon Dieu , the look on your face.»

I had to swallow twice to say, «What do you want me to take off?»

«Panties.»

«Just panties,» I said.

He nodded, and started unfastening his pants.

My pulse sped up. I had to sit up to take the panties off. It also helped me look away from him while I did it. Was it just that we had never been alone before? Was that this incredible anticipation? Or was it more than that? I wanted him. I wanted him to touch me. My body ached with the need, not just to be touched, but for Asher to touch me.

His hands slid over my bare shoulders, where I sat facing away from him. The smoothing of his hands down my skin made me hold my breath.

He leaned down and whispered, «What do you want?»

«Your hands on my body.»

«What else do you want?»

«You inside me.»

«What else?»

My pulse was hammering in my throat so hard I could barely speak around it. «Bite me while you fuck me, make me come both ways while you're inside me.»

«Inside you both ways?» he whispered.

«Yes.»

He grabbed a handful of my hair, and pulled until it hurt, just a little, just enough. «Say please.»

«Please.»

«I have to take blood to enter you. To bring you a second time with my bite, I will have to take blood again.»

I tried to reason that out, and failed, but finally said the only thing I could think to say. «Please.»
