breast and tweaked the nipple. His breath was ragged and heavy in her ear, making her nipples harden further. “Doesn’t it look hot, baby? Watching me take you like this?”
“Oh yes.” She pumped her hips harder, her gaze locked on the erotic image before her. The internal pressure built and her insides started to tighten and spasm in readiness.
She met his eyes, smouldering with arousal and turning his emerald orbs the darkest green.
“I can tell that you’re close,” he whispered. “I feel it.”
He pressed his thumb against her clit then circled the bundle of nerves, making her muscles quiver.
“Yes!” she cried. With one hard drive of his cock, he had her catapulting into an explosive orgasm. She held her breath as the waves of pleasure rocked through her, sending her body limp and boneless. She hovered, weightless for a moment, in that wonderful plane of blissful ecstasy.
A second later, he followed, grasping her hips tightly and thrusting hard into her then shouting his own release.
Chapter Six
Lucy thought about the previous evening spent with Rhett and she did an internal happy dance. She’d had a wonderful evening. Apart from the amazing sex, they had shared a lovely meal that Rhett had ordered from a local Japanese restaurant. Lucy had been pleased to learn that she had many things in common with Rhett. They liked similar authors and films, enjoyed working out and shared a love of the ocean and the beach. It had been easy and enjoyable conversation, as though they had known each other for years.
There was just one issue that had her anxious and doubting that the relationship could go any further. She worried about their age difference. Seventeen years was significant. Which was a fact that left an uneasy feeling in the pit of her stomach. She reasoned that they were both adults, and if men could do the relationship thing with such broad age gaps, then why couldn’t women? She understood the distinction, however. Society seemed to accept relationships between an older man and a younger woman a lot more readily than they did an older woman with a younger man. The term ‘cougar’ bounced, unwelcome, through her mind. Not that anyone else’s opinion should matter, but the sad fact was that people were judgemental and such beliefs could, and would, complicate matters.
She sighed and slipped out of bed to run a shower. Once under the warm spray, she decided to push all her doubts and anxieties to the back of her mind. She would just run with things and see how everything panned out. After all, she and Rhett were not considering marriage. Theirs was just a sexual relationship between two consenting adults. No promises, no strings attached.

Rhett was two hours into an expected three-hour meeting. He should have been concentrating on the issues being discussed, but his mind kept wandering to Lucy and the previous evening they’d spent together. He realised suddenly that he really liked her. Initially it had been the sexual vibe that had attracted him. She had an innate sexuality in the way she moved and spoke and how she held herself. Add to that her beauty and poise and her toned, sensual body, and it was easy to understand his initial attraction. What hot-blooded male wouldn’t be affected by her? Now, as he sat pondering their time together, he knew that it had moved beyond physical attraction—at least for him.
Lucy was like a breath of fresh air. She was mature, witty and intelligent. Her whole demeanour was self-confident and sophisticated. She knew what she wanted out of life and she went for it. She stood on her own two feet and had built a successful career through hard work and determination.
He thought about some of the women he’d had relationships with over the years and couldn’t help but compare them to Lucy. Most of his previous partners paled in contrast, many of whom had been spoilt rich girls thrown into his path by their families, as if, owing
