Duet in Blood Read Online Free PDF Page B

you, and I see a young man, an extremely handsome man, I may add, who has been made sad by events of the past. You’re feeling a tad sorry for yourself. You feel betrayed, maligned…” As he spoke, he stroked my face with gentle fingers. “Look at me, Micah. In my eyes, you will see your pain mingled with mine. We are all wounded in one manner or another. Believe me, wealth does not always take away the pain. Sometimes, it can be even more of a burden. I don’t want you to leave, Micah.” He cupped my face in his hands and kissed me gently. “Stay with me, please.”

    I hesitated. My earlier objections suddenly seemed to have no meaning under the
    weight of his eloquence. I put down my glass and wrapped my arms around his hard body.
    “Sorry, I’m being such a sad sack.”
    Joseph’s lips fluttered over the skin on my throat, and I shuddered with desire and longing. What a jerk I am , I thought, laying all that angst on a guy I met just an hour ago. And he still wants me to stay?
    “Yes, I want you to stay,” Joseph murmured close to my ear.
    I tilted my head back and looked at him with surprise. “You’re a mind reader?”
    He smiled. “I could feel you doubting my sincerity.”
    “No, no… I was just thinking you must be one helluva guy to still want me to stay after listening to all that self-pity I just laid on you.”
    His arms tightened about me. “When you get to know me better,” he said, with a wry smile, “I might regale you with some of my tales of woe.”
    When you get to know me better, I repeated to myself. Those words made me feel good, and I did what I had wanted to do while sitting in the cab with him. I tugged at his tee, pulling it loose from his khaki jeans and bunching it up to expose his chest, then I lowered my head to kiss the cool, fragrant skin. I inhaled his scent, loving the spicy blend. My lips found his left nipple, my tongue flicking at it, tentatively at first, then seriously licking, my mouth engulfing the stiffening point. Joseph groaned, holding my head lightly pressed to his chest as I sucked. His hands strayed to the hem of my tee, lifting it, slipping it over my head, caressing my torso, finding his way inside my jeans, his fingers straying into the cleft between my butt cheeks.
    He undid the top button of my jeans, tugging them down around my hips to give him greater access to my butt. I had gone commando, just for the hell of it, and the feel of his big hands caressing my bare bottom made me shudder with pure pleasure. He lifted me into his arms, and I wound my legs around his hips, my arms around his neck, while he kissed my throat, scraping his teeth lightly over my fevered skin.
    God, but that sensation made me almost come all over him. “Wow,” I breathed into his ear. “That feels so good.”
    He carried me into the bedroom and lowered me onto the bed. He leaned over me, his lips brushing my face, my throat, my chest. I squirmed with pleasure beneath him, my DUET IN BLOOD

    fingers working at his zipper, eager to release the hardness pressing against my own erection. I grasped the hard flesh, palming it gently, squeezing the pre-cum from the tip and licking at it.
    “Mmm…” I couldn’t resist voicing my appreciation of the salty, pungent taste before taking all of him into my mouth. Joseph groaned again as he ground his hips against the pull of my lips. I yanked his jeans down and stroked the silky skin that covered his muscular butt.
    Jeez, but every part of him felt so wonderful, so smooth, so sensuous. How, I wondered through the sensual haze that had enveloped my mind, how did I get this lucky?
    “I’m the lucky one,” he murmured, pulling me level with his eyes.
    I blinked. “That’s the second time you’ve read my mind,” I said with a half laugh.
    His beautiful eyes widened slightly. “You were thinking that same thought?”
    “Mmhmm…” I kissed his mouth and gasped as his teeth
