ten minutes saw the job done. ‘There now,’ he announced to her closed eyes. ‘Isn’t that better?’
Stella looked down at her hand, the splinters gone from the pads of her fingers, his thumb lightly brushing her palm—just as Vasco’s had done. The instinct to shut her eyes and allow her body to feel the caress everywhere warred with her guilt about indulging another Vasco fantasy with an unsuspecting Rick.
It made her crazy.
And the pain made her bitchy.
‘No,’ she said testily. ‘It bloody hurts, actually.’
Rick felt her trying to withdraw her hand from his but he resisted her attempt, knowing it was too good an opportunity to pass up. ‘Fine,’ he sighed, ‘I’ll just have to kiss them better.’
It took a moment for his intention to register and another moment for Stella to open her mouth and lodge a protest. But by then it was too late. He was lifting her fingers to his mouth, holding her gaze as he did so. Her protest stuttered to an inarticulate gurgle as his lips briefly brushed over first one fingertip, then the next. When he got to the third her eyes widened as she felt his tongue press against the pad, laving the wound gently before his lips met then slowly withdrew.
She made some noise at the back of her throat that sounded foreign in the charged atmosphere between them.
It might have been a whimper.
‘There,’ he said huskily, her dilated pupils not only doing funny things to his groin, but deep inside his chest too. ‘Is that better?’
She wanted to shake her head, tell him no. That they burned. That he’d set them on fire. But she was only capable of a nod. A very weak nod.
‘Good,’ Rick said with difficulty as her mouth hovered so very close and that line became even hazier.
My pleasure.
