“What an awful thought.”
“Remind me never to cross you again . Sit up.” He sat with his back against the wall, one knee up and one leg outstretched. He propped his forearm on his knee, watching her. She noticed he’d tacked down the covering on the cave entrance so she couldn’t tell if it was dark yet or not. She struggled into a seated position, tucking her legs beneath her butt and her dress around her knees.
The glow from the fire reflected in his amber eyes . She couldn’t seem to look away . His muscles looked golden, and the silken strands of his dark hair enticed her fingers to play.
“How much do you know of the male anatomy? ” he asked quietly.
“Enough.” Kimber had actually only felt the penis inside her—never seen or lay hands on one. In her mind, it was a slender tube tipped with horns made for gashing and tearing. She sincerely hoped her next experience with penetration wasn’t as bad.
Braeden rubbed his middle finger on his thumb in a circle, watching her intensely. “ If you’re going to seduce a man, you’ll need to be unafraid when you touch him. I know I’m a sore sight for your eyes. You’ll have to overcome my ugliness and get comfortable touching me. ”
Kimber gulped . Heat spread through her veins . “I didn’t say you were… ugly. Just not to my liking,” she lied.
He stopped rubbing his fingers together and pulled his hand down his inner thigh until it cupped his groin , pushing his foot out until both legs were stretched toward her. “ You might as well have. ”
She cleared her throat and twisted her suddenly damp hands in her dress, rubbing her palms on her skirt until they were dry. “ I just pictured myself with someone leaner and less hairy. Perhaps with dark skin like mine and short hair. ”
His steady gaze made her belly flutter. That forbidden pulse throbbed in her sex, and moisture gathered in her lips. “ Basically the exact o pposite of me. Go on and say it, ” he said.
She made a nervous laugh and shooed his words with her hand . She clenched her thighs tight as if that would stop the throbbing in her cleft . “No. I’m sure you’ll make an excellent mate for one of your kind someday. I wasn’t trying to hurt your feelings. I’m sorry.”
He shrugged. “You didn’t. Come over here. Between my legs.”
She ceased fidgeting. “Why?”
He watched her, but she couldn’t seem to stop glancing at his hand where it rested on his groin. Ever so slowly, he rubbed himself. “Your first lesson.”
Had a sudden wind stoked the fire? Perhaps the temperature outside increased ? Her dress felt tight around her neck and chest. Her face flamed and she touched her cheeks as if that would cool them down.
“Change your mind?” he asked in a rough voice that made her insides rub together.
Kimber forced a boldness into her muscles and crawled closer to him, until his thighs rested on either side of hers as she knelt.
“Men like when women take the initiative. They tire quickly of the frightened maiden who must be pursued in the bedroom every night to slake their lust. If you want your pick of the men, you’ll have to take him.” His hand stopped its minute movements and framed the bulge in his pants, riveting her gaze to the spot .
“ What should I… do?”
“Take my cock out. Act like you want to touch it, like you need to touch it, and you’ ll have your man begging a t your feet.”
Chapter Five
Kimber’s mouth turned dry, and her body went rigid. “How?” she croaked.
He leaned his head back on the smooth rock wall. “With your hands. You could use your mouth if you’re inclined to be more provocative. A mouth like yours is enticing with those succulent, full lips .”
Unexpectedly , he didn’t seem as brutish as he had before. His clarity of language surprised her. She wondered what other aspects of him she’d overlooked. With trembling fingers and a fortifying breath, she slid her hands up his thick, hard
