it was all hers.
“I want you, Li,” she whispered, licking
the head before sucking his thick shaft into her
mouth once and then letting it go. “I want all of
you. Now.”
He froze, not moving a muscle, his face
hard. Nikki wasn’t sure if it was because of her
words or her actions. Rarely did he ever let her
suck him. He always seemed to enjoy it, but he
said he didn’t want her to feel as if she had to,
that he wanted her to know he respected her.
When he didn’t pull away from her, however,
Nikki indulged herself once more, taking him
into her mouth and pulling hard until he pulled
out of her mouth with a groan.
“Keep that up and there won’t be
anything left to do.” He pulled her to her feet,
whipping off the nightgown in one smooth
motion to let it land on the floor beside them.
Nikki loved it when he took control like this.

The demanding way he took the lead in their
lovemaking even when she initiated it never
failed to thrill her.
Li scooped her up and laid her on the bed,
covering her body with his larger one. He was
hard and throbbing against her thigh as he
settled against her. Smiling, Nikki wrapped her
arms around his neck and brought her lips to
his. She tunneled her hands through his silky
dark hair.
“Mmmm,” she moaned. “I love the way
you feel against me.”
“Do you now.” Li’s answer was deep and
gruff. It was one more thing she loved about
him. He never held his feelings back from her
when they made love— or ever, for that matter.
Li was exactly what he seemed. She simply
loved him.
When she knew he was ready to enter
her, he raised her arms above her head to hold
them there with one hand. With one last kiss,
he leaned across the bed for the nightstand and
the little packages he kept there.
“No, Li,” she whispered. “Not this time. I
want you inside me. Only you.”
He stopped and stilled, looking into her
eyes. “Nikki?”

“Love me,” she pleaded, not flinching,
not hesitating. “I need you to love me.”
With a soft growl, Li thrust into her in
one smooth stroke. “Oh, God!” Sweat
dampened his skin, and he held himself
perfectly still for a few moments. Nikki
squeezed him with her inner muscles, and he
groaned. “You’re going to kill me, sweetheart.
Don’t move.”
“Move in me, Li,” she whispered, wanting
to seduce him. As much as he’d given her since
she’d let him into her life, she wanted to give
him this. “I want you to get as much pleasure
from my body as you’ve given me.”
Gingerly, Li began to move. It seemed to
take him a few strokes before he had his control
back, though his heart pounded hard against
her breast and his breathing was ragged. “So
good,” he whispered. “So damned good.”
Nikki moved with him, watching his face
as he took her over and over again. Pleasure
welled up in her belly as her clit brushed his
body with every stroke. He swelled inside her,
growing impossibly bigger, pressing against her
walls. She held on to the pleasure, letting it
build along with his.

“Now, Nikki, please! Come with me!
Now!” Li never pleaded with her to come. He’d
always demanded, pushed. She had the feeling
he was completely out of his element, and she
loved that she was the one to do this for him.
Smiling and pulling him to her for a kiss,
she let herself go. Pinpoints of light erupted
behind her eyelids as her body contracted
around his. With a hoarse shout, Li followed
her into bliss, his hot seed exploding deep
inside her. Nikki wrapped her legs tightly
around him, holding him to her. He held her
just as tightly.
They lay like that for long moments.
Nikki couldn’t help the silly grin on her face.
She belonged to him, as he did to her. For the
first time since they’d started this journey
together, she felt complete. Whole.
Rolling them to their sides, Li
