    combust.”
    “Maybe,” he conceded, kissing her again,
    “but what a way to go.”
    Nikki didn’t disagree.

    Chapter Five

    Vegas had been wonderful. Looking back
    on the time she and Li had spent there, Nikki
    had to laugh. They’d fucked like rabbits, and
    she’d enjoyed every blessed second of it. Li had
    convinced her to give a relationship with him a
    chance, but it wasn’t just any relationship. By
    day, things had been as they always had been
    other than a few public gestures from Li that let
    their friends and colleagues know she was
    definitely taken. Nikki didn’t mind, though. She
    found it rather endearing.
    By night, though, Li had begun to show
    her exactly what it meant to be a sexual
    submissive— his sexual submissive. With Li as
    her guide, Nikki had entered a world where she
    submitted to his every whim, whether it was
    him tying her to their big bed and ravishing her
    body or the occasional erotic spanking when
    she’d done something to warrant his unique
    brand of punishment. She’d never admit it out
    loud, but she sometimes craved the spankings.
    If Li knew that, he never let on, though Nikki
    sometimes thought she saw a gleam in his eye
    when she was being particularly difficult.

    Through it all, Li had always respected
    her wishes, protected her. He had to know she
    was his. She’d told him often enough how much
    she loved him and how complete her life was
    now that they’d admitted their feelings. Always,
    though, he’d kept the barrier between them—
    that thin piece of latex he used to protect her.
    Nikki knew he was waiting for her. He’d
    never ask her or even simply not use the
    condom; it was unspoken but understood it was
    her choice. She’d realized that when he’d said
    he knew she’d want it the first time they were
    together.
    He had been right. But no longer. Over
    the last few months, she’d realized it didn’t
    matter anymore. If a child was conceived, it
    would be one more reason to love Li. She
    couldn’t imagine her life without him, and she
    wasn’t leaving him. Ever.
    Li had been on call tonight. He’d been at
    the hospital late, and Nikki’s heart leapt when
    she heard his car pull into the driveway. Thank
    goodness he hadn’t been in the OR but had
    spent his time in the call room just waiting.
    She loved it when he came home after an
    afternoon of sitting and waiting. He always
    seemed to come up with interesting new ways

    to drive her insane with sexual pleasure.
    Tonight, however, Nikki had something
    planned for him.
    She waited in their bedroom, her favorite
    negligee of the lightest cream clinging to her
    body. When he entered, his eyes immediately
    found her where she lounged on the big
    California King. Desire seemed to make their
    dark depths gleam.
    “What’s this?” That deep, rich voice of his
    never failed to send shivers over her body and
    butterflies fluttering in her stomach. He had a
    voice made for sex.
    “What’s what?” She rose gracefully from
    the bed and made her way slowly to him. She
    let her hips sway, loving the way the silky
    material slid over her too-sensitive skin,
    knowing Li loved to watch her body move.
    “Are you trying to seduce me?” One
    raised eyebrow followed his question.
    Nikki smiled. “Is it working?”
    “Absolutely.” Li reached for her, his hand
    caressing the curve of her waist and settling on
    her hip. “I love it when you initiate sex. You
    know that.”
    Without another word, Nikki sank to her
    knees, opening the fly of his jeans as she did. Li

    always showered before he left the hospital.
    So did she. It was an unspoken rule neither
    ever broke. For that, Nikki was thankful. She’d
    hate to break the moment so he could cleanse
    himself. His cock sprang free and bobbed in
    front of her face as she stared at it. She’d never
    grow tired of looking at him. His whole body
    was a sculpted work of art, and
