Our Sexy Date ~ @MySexySaturday #MySexySaturday #Saturday7 #MySexyAuthors

Welcome to My Sexy Saturday - this week a date from the beginning of my erotic menage a trois romance novel The Glass Knot.

By the time my pineapple sorbet and Nick’s chocolate torte arrived I was feeling as mellow as I ever could. My sun-kissed limbs were relaxed and my mood chilled. A holiday with Nick, eating a beautiful meal on our tenth anniversary was about as perfect a moment as I could imagine.

“Mmm, try this,” Nick said, offering forward a dollop of his torte.

I opened my mouth willingly, as I always did for him, no matter what he offered. “Yum,” I said, licking my lips and letting the heavy truffle dissolve on my tongue. “That’s fabulous.”

“Do you still think of Her?” he asked suddenly. His dark gaze captured mine, and his expression fell serious.

“Her?” I knew full well who he was talking about. Her, She, was fictitious, and stemmed from a drunken conversation we’d had several years ago.

“I’m sorry, Josh.” He covered my hand with his. “I shouldn’t have brought it up.”

“No, it’s fine.”

He rubbed his thumb over my knuckles and stared, unblinking at his caressing movements. “Seriously, forget it.”

I sucked in a deep breath. I couldn’t ignore the question, not now he’d asked it. Because the truth was I did still think of Her. In quiet moments She was conspicuous by her absence. I’d suspected I was gay in my mid-teens, but it wasn’t until I’d met Nick and fallen for him that I’d handed my body over to another person—Nick was still my one and only lover. “You know you’re the most important thing in the world to me, Nick, the pivotal focus of my every waking moment,” I said and then paused, my tongue stalling with words that might hurt. “But yes, I do sometimes still think of being with a woman.”

You can grab your copy of The Glass Knot from Amazon and find out if Josh gets his chance to be with a woman, and if so, what are the consequences for his and Nick's relationship?

Sunday Snog

Welcome to Sunday Snog, here's a super-sexy snippet from my MMF erotic romance novel The Glass Knot.

I struggled to catch my breath as Josh pulled at my nipples and Nick tugged off his clothes. I felt as though I was floating, my head dizzy and my heart rate rocketing.

Dreamily, I watched a now naked Nick grip his shaft in his fist and move back between my legs. The mushroomed head already held a pearly drip in the center and the golden light of the fire flames reflected off its shimmering surface.

“Ah, fuck, I want you, too,” Josh said, lowering me to the soft rug so that I was flat on my back.

A spark of excitement flickered in my chest as he pulled his hard dick from his pants.

They both want me.

Oh God, never in my wildest dreams had I imagined this. But now it was happening it was all I wanted and I’d go mad if I didn’t get to feel both of their glorious cocks at the same time.

“Get inside me, now,” I shouted down to Nick.

“Yes, Miss,” he said, grabbing my hips and positioning himself. His swift movements held the same urgency I was experiencing.

I closed my eyes, wanting to focus, exclusively, on the sensation of his big dick ramming into me.

He found my entrance, hesitated for the most agonizing of moments, then slammed his thick shaft so deep his velvety balls barged into my ass cheeks.

“Yes, yes, yes,” I cried as erotic shards of bliss careered through me. “Oh, yes.” I was still aroused from his mouth and the sudden pressure on my swollen mound was almost too much.

He stilled, buried as deep as he could go. I was aware of heavy, labored male breathing all around me.

“Laura, open up, suck my dick, sweetie, please.”

Keeping my eyes closed, lost to the wild sensations in my pussy, I stretched open my jaw. Immediately the fresh taste of Josh’s cock flooded my tongue as he rode into my mouth.

“Ah, fuck, yes,” he groaned, cupping my nape and holding me up to him. “Ah, I’ve dreamed of you doing this. So fucking amazing, your sweet little lips.”

Nick began to pound, in and out, faster and faster. He was cursing and hissing above me, one hand on my breasts, teasing and pulling my nipple.

Lust surged through me, gripping me like a greedy fist. The muscles in my cunt were going wild with the beating they were taking, my G-spot receiving a riotous bash each time Nick’s cock smoothed over it.

I wanted to tell him how fantastic he was making me feel, but my mouth was full. Josh was bent over me, riding in and out, his big, ridged cockhead smoothing over my tongue and palate to the back of my throat. I sucked and swallowed, cupped his balls and his ass cheeks. I was experiencing pleasure at heights I’d never known. Taking Nick in my pussy, Josh in my mouth. The whole physical and emotional state was thrilling and I never wanted it to end.

Suddenly Josh pulled out and gently released my nape.

“Ah, yes, so good,” he groaned.

I tore open my eyes to see him jerking his dick, hard and fast, directing the slit at my breasts.

Nick stopped his powerful driving strokes and withdrew from my pussy. “Holy shit,” he hissed, rearing up between my legs, grabbing his cock and fisting it to the same wild tempo as Josh was.

I scrabbled for my clit and gripped my breast.

“I’m coming,” Josh groaned, his head hanging down, watching his own busy hand. His flopped hair jerked with each of his frantic movements.

“Ah, ah, ah,” Nick shouted over the rough sound of flesh on flesh.

A tight, hard climax besieged me, and I struggled to keep my eyes open as it shook my body. But I didn’t want to miss Josh and Nick coming—coming on me.

The Glass Knot is only available from Amazon.

The Glass Knot - Bank Holiday Weekend Offer!

Erotic romance, GBLT, menage a trois novel on sale

That's right, for this special summer holiday weekend you can grab yourself a copy of The Glass Knot for just 99c/99p! Only on Amazon.

Back Cover Information

What’s a girl to do when the guy she falls for is married to another man? 

This is exactly what happened to me. Seeing Josh Kendal stroll out of the Mediterranean Sea wearing tight navy swim trunks and looking like a hot new James Bond was a truly delicious moment. Catching sight of his wedding ring was like a kick in the shin and meeting his gorgeous husband, phew, that was enough to make any girl groan at the cruel joke God was playing on her. 

But all was not as it seemed, and when Josh needed a woman to sort out a ‘delicate predicament’ I was the one for the job – heck, what did I have to lose? Certainly not as much as him, literally. 

Trouble is, emotions always get tangled, loyalties can’t help but be divided and with a night of memories so hot they'd have the devil sweating, there was only one thing for it—it was time to get honest, fight for what I wanted despite society’s constraints and open my heart to the people it needed most. 

Reader Reviews...

"This is one of the hottest books I've read in a very long time."

"If you're looking for an awesome MMF story that will make you laugh, cry, and feel every up and down in between, this is the book for you."

"The Glass Knot is the third book I have read by the British author Lily Harlem and I am more in love with her work after reading this story than ever."

"This beautiful erotic romance provides an emotional read that explores the dynamics of converting a committed relationship to a menage a trois. The author does a wonderful job of conveying the passion and devotion that exists between the paired couple and the angst and upheaval that results from adding a new person into their lives. There are deliciously sizzling love scenes which are balanced by a facile characterization of the individuals involved and I am delighted to have found a new author to enjoy and look forward to reading more of her tales."

The Glass Knot Hits the Charts!

I'm thrilled that The Glass Knot has hit the Amazon UK genre charts, fingers crossed it keeps going up because I adore Nick, Josh and Laura and their steamy threesome story!

I shuddered out the breath I’d been holding. Of course, that was how it was. I hadn’t fooled myself into thinking there would ever be anything more between us. Josh was right, we had to make this memorable. We had to make this more special than anyone else’s first time, because this was his first and last.

“Not that I don’t love him,” Josh said. “I do, more than—”

“More than anything else in the world,” I finished. “I get that, I understand that, so let’s take Nick out of the room and concentrate on us.”

Josh closed his eyes. His lashes created shadows on his cheeks and his brows pulled low. Then he opened them and the furrows in his forehead relaxed. “You’re right, no more Nick.” The deep blue of his irises shone like the deepest depths of the ocean. “Me and you. Josh and Laura, just for tonight. Just for one night.”

“That sounds absolutely perfect.” I stood on tiptoes and touched my mouth to his. The feel of his soft warm lips, hesitant and barely parted, made it the most delicate, wondrous kiss I’d ever experienced. I pulled back and smiled. “I won’t break you know.”

He swept his tongue over his bottom lip. “It’s just, Nick and I, we get a bit rough sometimes, carried away. It doesn’t matter, we’re guys, we can take it, but you will say if I’m too much for you, won’t you?”

My heart swelled. His anxiety was deep and profound and very real. “Josh, I’ve had slow sweet sex before and hard and fast sex too. I’ll tell you to stop if I can’t take it, but something tells me you’re going to be a natural, so just relax.”

He smiled and dropped his shoulders a fraction. “Thank you.”

I reached for his hand and pulled him toward the bed. “Lie down with me.” Shifting onto the mattress, I rested back so I was semi propped up on the mountain of pillows. I tossed the chocolate to the floor.

He crawled next to me, staring at every shift and wobble of my breasts as I settled.

“Touch me, like this,” I whispered, tweaking my nipple again.

He copied me, playing with my opposite nipple.

I fluttered my eyes shut. Breast stimulation had always been high on my list of foreplay and his big, firm fingers were simply perfect.

“Does that feel nice?” he asked.

“Mmm, lovely.” I scooped my whole breast into my palm and squeezed the soft flesh. Again he copied me, then to my delight, dropped his head and took my nipple into his mouth.

I released a small moan of encouragement and threaded my fingers into his hair. It was soft and thick and feathered over the back of my hand like silk ribbons.

He was busy with his tongue. Plucking my taut areola, he switched to the other breast. Before I knew it he was kneading both of my breasts and sharing his oral attention between each nipple.

“Oh, Josh, you’re doing it so right,” I murmured. “Yes, just like that.” I arched my back and smoothed my hands over his warm shoulders. “Your mouth feels wonderful.”

But his attentions were sending white-hot fingers of lust straight to my pussy. I wouldn’t be able to keep up a slow seduction for much longer. My clit needed attention, I needed filling. It had been so long.

After a few minutes I captured his cheeks in my hands and lifted his face to mine. “Josh, oh God, I’m so turned on.”

His mouth was wet and his lips pliant, his breaths faster than they’d been before. “Show me,” he said.

Staring into his heavy gaze, I slid my hand down over my breasts and belly. “Here.” I parted my legs, dipped my fingers through my silken folds and into the entrance of my pussy. Instantly they were coated in my juices. I withdrew and held my shiny fingers between us. “I’m so wet and ready for you,” I said. “Look.”

He studied my fingers for a few seconds, then wrapped his hand around my wrist and brought them to his lips. He drew my wet fingers into his mouth, closed his eyes and sucked, his cheeks hollowing and the suction making my digits tingle.

My heart pounded and a pulse thrummed in my clit. “Josh,” I said quietly. It was one of the sexiest things I’d ever witnessed.

Pulling my fingers out, he smiled down at me. “My first taste of woman,” he said. “I want more.”

5* for The Glass Knot

My menage novel The Glass Knot has just received another 5* review on Amazon.com.

I'm so thrilled with how this book grabs readers, it really does make all the hours and hours of writing worth it when people take the time to leave such lovely words.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved, loved, loved it

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This is the best menage book I have read, The sex is hot but does not drive the story, the characters do. The characters have depth and real feelings and display emotions that are not always neat and tidy. The plot is driven by very real conflicts and fears rather than simply moving between one sex scene and another. A keeper. I have already re-read several times.

This menage novel is set mainly in the Costwolds, one of the most beautiful parts of the UK.

However, the prologue is based amongst the ritz and glamour of fabulous Marbella, Spain. I adore Marbella and have visited many times. The beachfront is lively and crammed with expensive yachts, the old town full of secreted away tapas bars and the 5* hotels are opulent and luxurious and make you feel like a superstar!

The story moves to London which is where Laura, the heroine, lives. London was my home for a few years and I always get a thrill when I visit friends there. I never tire of being a tourist and enjoying the main sights and also just kicking back in one of the many traditional pubs for a night of catching up with mates and people watching - The Sherlock Holmes is an old haunt of mine!

The story then progresses to the Cotswolds. I wanted to portray Josh and Nick as having a perfect life so I dreamed them up a beautiful thatched cottage called Barn View, complete with inglenook fireplaces, beamed ceilings and an orchard in the back garden. (If you've read the book you will know why the rug in front of the fire is so worn!)

The Cotwolds are stunning winter and summer, here are a few summery pictures, I can almost smell the wild flowers. 

Reviews for The Glass Knot

"This book is a must read! I loved this story from start to finish.  All characters had a strong strength sense of themselves and this story surprised even me, because I read a lot of M/M/F books and after I read it, I wanted to read it again and again! Pick this book up, you won't be disappointed!"

"Another excellent book by Lily Harlem."

"This is honestly one of the best books I've ever read and I have read well over a hundred erotic/erotica books. It was so well written. I truly cared for these characters and, for once, I could actually see this happening in the real world. It was sweet and touching while still having seriously hot love scenes."

“I'm not even done & I'm in love with this book. I can tell it's going to be a favorite re-read. Lily has a way of writing that is so engaging, raw & real.”

“This is one of the hottest books I've read this summer. The characters are brilliantly described, the storyline intriguing and the dirty bits? Well, they are everything you expect from Ms Harlem and more. The M/F and M/M combinations got my mind ticking and my <ahem> juices flowing! If you're looking for a smokin' read, this is it. I want this book on my kindle for ever!”

“This book is superb. I loved the emotions. Sigh. It's beautiful.”

It's great fun deciding on a location for my stories, and I nearly always use somewhere I've actually visited. I'm very fortunate to have travelled a lot with Mr Harlem, though the Cotswolds, somewhere I've spent many happy times, comes up in two other books of mine, Dessert and Cold Nights, Hot Bodies, though the later is the opposite to the pictures you see above - all snow and drifts and impassable roads, meaning the couple have no choice but to stay in and get creative in ways which to stay warm and cosy! - It makes me realise that this part of the world is very dear to my heart and certainly somewhere I feel very much at home.

Thanks so much for reading, feel free to leave a comment telling me about your favourite locations not just for novels but also for real life visits.

“What I was trying to say is that for me there has only ever been Nick.” He threaded his fingers into my hair, holding my head firm and cradling my skull in his palms. He stared down into my eyes. “Laura, I’ve never been with a woman, never really, truly wanted to.” He dipped his head lower, so that his lips were a whisper from mine. “Until now.”

5* reviews for The Glass Knot

Self-publishing has been a new adventure for me in 2012. It's been a lot of hard work, pretty scary at times, and also incredibly rewarding. Stepping out alone with a book and hoping the world likes it is always going to be a big deal, I can't imagine that changing over the years to come, but when 5* reviews pop up on Amazon, I just can't help but get a lovely warm feeling inside.

This is what is being said about The Glass Knot.

Steamy and Emotional Read December 6, 2012

I really enjoyed this novel. It was like finding a little gem floating in a sea of boring. For one thing, I felt the author really took the time to explore her characters' feelings. And it didn't feel fake or contrived or ridiculous and over-the-top. She made them seem full of emotion, and not ridiculously emotional (if that makes sense). I believed these were real people. Also, I actually liked all three characters. A lot of times I feel like I prefer one character more, or even that I strongly dislike one of the characters (unfortunately, usually the heroine), but in this case I truly respected all three people.

Plot-wise, this story focused mainly on the characters and their relationship. While I enjoy a good side story, it was nice to have the story revolve around these three people without the distraction of some minor going-ons on the side.

And of course, I have to mention the steaminess. This novel has some graphic M/F, M/M, and M/M/F action, which I personally enjoyed, but which may not be for everyone. I'm glad this author is so skilled at both the emotional aspect and the erotic aspect of writing. Too many books out there have one but not the other. I will definitely be reading more work by this author. I hope those stories are as satisfying as this one.

An Amazing Love Story November 10, 2012

I'm not even done & I'm in love with this book. I can tell it's going to be a favorite re-read. Lily has a way of writing that is so engaging, raw & real. Just amazing, the characters were all well written, you could feel like they were people you knew or even seeing this happening in real life. They were characters with depth & flaws & issues, even if they were described as being physically perfect.

Josh was just yummy, Nick was dominating, dark & mysterious. Laura was a fun & fun loving woman, who clearly knew her mind, had a strong will & I just loved that she was willing to take life by the horns. it's funny once I figured out what the premise was I kept flashing back to Samantha from Sex in the city when her best gay friends asked her to be their experiment & the hilarity that ensued from that. I couldn't wait to see how this turned out. It was better than I thought. Hilarious, wrought with emotions, & extremely well written I fell even more in love with the characters. laura's a very brave soul there are many who wouldn't have embraced the changes life brought her or event he opportunity.

The love scenes??? WOoohooo, I couldn't put it down, this is going on my favorites list & will be a definite re-read!! Five stars

Happy Reading

The Glass Knot was fun to write, I've written M/F/M before, but with this story I really wanted to play with they dynamics of two men, happily married allowing a woman to come into their relationship. I was inspired by a recent trip to The Cotswolds, which is beyond beautiful. The cosy cottages dotted around the countryside seemed the perfect setting for Laura, Nick and Josh to discover one another.

Have a great day

You can read the prologue and the first chapter here, but below is a snog to whet your appetite...

I rested my hands on my hips and studied the inside of the barn. It was darker than I’d hoped, but perhaps, with my flashlight on a high stand, I could simulate a streak of sunshine slicing through the stacked hay bales.
“Do you really think it will work?” Josh asked.
I glanced upward at the high ceiling dense with cobwebs. Several abandoned bird nests sat in the shadows. “Yes, it could.” I quickly walked over to the barn doors and pushed them apart, just a fraction. “Especially if this is open a foot or so because then a shard of natural light filters in.”
Josh looked unsure.
“It’ll be fine. Just stand there.” I pointed toward the bales. Several had been opened and the hay burst out creating a bed of pale strands. “That’s where the sliver of light coming through the door lands, see, like a torch beam. I think it will be a nice effect on you.”
Josh gave an easy going smile, shrugged, and stepped up to where I’d pointed. “Here?”
“Yep, perfect. Just stand still while I fiddle with the settings.”
My Nikon was an extension of me. It had been a faithful friend and loyal keeper of pictures for over two years now. It only took a moment to adjust.
I looked through the lens.
My breath caught in my throat. I had to pause for a moment.
Josh was even more beautiful today than he had been when I’d met him in Marbella or even when I’d seen him the day before walking through the orchard. I don’t know what it was about him, but every time he smiled afresh or appeared in a room, I fell for him just a little bit more. It was crazy, this be friends plan, whoever’s plan that was, because it would never work. Not when he was so perfect, so sexy and so unattainable.
“Do I need to smile now?” he asked.
You can smile all day, gorgeous.
“Not yet, just checking the light. The background is going to be quite dark, but you’ll have a streak of sunshine on you. It will be very atmospheric.” I stepped forward, reached out and touched his shoulder. “Turn this way a tiny bit, so you’re not in the shade too much.”
Feeling hard, warm muscle beneath the light blue checked shirt he was wearing did bubbly things to my stomach. But I tried my best to ignore it. Well, ignoring it was impossible, especially when his cologne bombarded me with images of us fucking crazily, in every position we could think of, but at least he didn’t know what I was experiencing and remembering. My thoughts were my own.
“It’s quiet in here,” Josh whispered, his eyes sparkling as light spilled across his face.
“Yes.”
“Is it a nice change from the city?”
“Definitely, I love it.”
He grinned. “Good, I like having you here.”
It would have been easy to get carried away with his words. Try and read between the lines and think there was more to them, but I didn’t. Instead, I took a picture and studied the screen.
“Any good?” Josh asked.
“Yes, it’s a start.” Again I stepped up to him and this time cupped his freshly shaven chin, moved it an inch. “You can smile now,” I said, gazing into his eyes.
He did. A lovely full smile that creased the corners of his eyes and showed off his teeth.
I moved away, camera at the ready. Clicked several times, adoring the way the streak of sunlight caressed the angle of his jaw, the straight bridge of his nose and the thickness of his neck. It also shined into his hair, creating a glow that could almost be mistaken for a halo.
Except I knew Josh could be devilishly bad when he wanted to be. Angel he was not.
“Let me see,” Josh said.
“Stay there.” I didn’t want him to move from the magical stream of light we’d harnessed. I stepped up to him, showed him the screen. Our shoulders touched as he stooped slightly. Every erogenous zone in my body bristled at the connection.
“Mmm, that’s a great effect, but...”
He didn’t like it. I sagged in disappointment.
“It just isn’t...” Josh said, rubbing his index finger over his lips. “It’s just isn’t sexy enough.”
“Oh, okay.” Not what I was expecting. As far as I was concerned he couldn’t be sexier.
“I was thinking more of a picture like this.” He gripped the base of his shirt and peeled it over his head. I had to step away to stop his arms knocking me as he tossed it to the floor.
“It is, after all, for Nick’s home office. It’s not like anyone else will see it.”
I have to.
I’d have to see his beautiful chest while I took the picture and then I’d never be able to delete it. It would be on my computer until the end of time.
“Nick would like this better,” Josh said.
“Yes, of course, okay.”
Who could blame Nick?
There was something about Josh’s chest that was sublimely perfect. I’d noticed it that first moment when I’d seen him walking, all wet and tanned, out of the sea. His chest was broad, his pecs square, his little nipples cute, and the way his ribs tapered down to his abs and obliques would make Rodin weep to sculpt him.
My chest tightened. My longing was so much more intense now than on the beach that day. Because now I knew what his chest was like to touch and kiss, cuddle into. How it looked pressed against my breasts and covered in our mingled sex sweat, rising and falling rapidly as he fought for breath after riding into me hard and fast.
I willed myself back to the present. But with his aftershave settling in my nose and mixing with the soft male scent that radiated from his naked skin, it was not an easy task. I started taking more pictures. This time ensuring I had his entire upper torso in the frame.
Once again the sun worshipped him, lovingly touching each perfect muscle and tendon. Highlighting bulging biceps and the sinewy tendons of his neck. It made me want to worship him too, lick every square inch that I could, and then get hold of his cock and...
Oh, fuck. I have to get out of here.
I did six more shots and lowered my camera. “I think that’s plenty.”
“You sure?”
“Yes, maybe you’d like some pictures outside, in the garden?”
So I can get some air.
I fiddled with the zoom. My pussy was thrumming. I should have brought Rocky then I could have disappeared into the bathroom for some alone time. Sorted out the ache between my legs.
“No.” His voice was firm and deep.
I lifted my head.
There was something in his eyes that made me freeze. I’d seen that look before. It was raw and hungry. The soft, caring, relaxed expression of moments ago had gone. Josh was thinking about something dirty, sexy and...carnal.
I know him better than I thought.
“I don’t want to go in the garden. I want to stay in here.”
“Oh, do you want me to get Nick?”
“No.” His lips tightened and he stepped closer.
“But, er, maybe I could do some pictures of the pair of you together.”
“No, that’s not what I want.” He reached out and lifted the thin leather camera strap over my head.
Just the brush of his fingertips on my neck sent more lust raging through me. But this was crazy. There was nothing between Josh and I. There couldn’t be. For Nick’s sake there couldn’t be.
He set my camera on a hay bale then loomed back over me.
I stared up at him. The dim light and the silence seemed to weave a spell around us, a spell that made it only us. The air was thick with dust, palpable with desire. His eyes were locked with mine, and a slow growing realization crept over me.
He’s looking down at me like he wants a repeat performance of our wildest moment in Spain.
“Lord help me,” he mumbled, dropping his head closer still, until his breaths breezed over my face.
The unthinkable, the impossible was about to happen. He was going to kiss me, and I was going to let him, despite my promise to Nick.
No I can’t do that. I’m not a bitch.
“Laura, I can’t stop thinking about you, about us. I just need to...I want...”
I despaired with myself, didn’t think I could stoop to such depths of self-destruction. Drop myself into a pit where I knew guilt would eat me alive. But I was going to. Josh could do whatever he wanted and take whatever he needed. His words, the desire in his eyes, it was like showing a red rag to a bull. “Yes,” I said.
The decision had made itself.
I flung my arms around his neck at the same time as he dragged my body to his. Our mouths connected in a frantic, desperate kiss. Tongues racing and searching, lips starving as we fed off each other.
He let out a low, triumphant sound, like a growl. It made the hairs on the back of my neck rise. All sane thoughts left me. I was in Josh’s arms, he was all I wanted, and judging by the long hard bulge jutting into my stomach, he wanted me too.
I couldn’t help myself. I knew, in the back of my mind, how much this would hurt Nick, but that worry seemed like a million light years away. It was scarily easy to bury it and figure it out later.
“I’ve dreamed of tasting you again,” he admitted hoarsely.
“You have?”
“Yeah, I know I shouldn’t but I can’t seem to stop myself.” He slid his hands down and cupped my ass through my jeans, tugged me harder against him. “You’ve got under my skin and into my brain. I can’t stop thinking of you and our night together.” He groaned and kissed me even harder.
His words and his urgent kiss sent electric pulses of delight through my body. My breasts grew heavy as I leaned into his bare chest. My breaths were hard to catch. I should have replied, or told him to stop or something, but I couldn’t. I was sating a hunger that had been growing to alarming proportions.
An image of Nick, relaxed on holiday, smiling and confident came into my mind.
How can I be doing this?
I pushed at Josh, shook my head. “No.”
“Yes.” He stepped backwards, dragging me with him. Then we were lying down on the soft hay and his luscious weight was settling over me, the word no was lost from my vocabulary and the image of Nick evaporated.
Hurriedly I explored Josh’s naked back, dipping into the valley of his spine and adoring the power harnessed in every muscle. Our legs tangled, he shoved up my t- shirt and dragged my bra to one side.
“Oh, sweet Jesus,” he groaned, taking my nipple into his mouth. He pinched the hard nub between his teeth and sucked, just the way I liked, the way I’d taught him to do it.
I shut my eyes, threaded my fingers into his hair. Just minutes ago I’d been wishing I’d brought my vibrator, now it seemed Josh had solved the problem.
He suddenly sat back on his heels and yanked down the zipper on his jeans. Pulled himself free. There were no boxers to get in the way. His cock just sprung out, thick, rigid and heavy.
My mouth watered at the sight of his shaft and the big, angry red head. I reached for him greedily, wrapped my hands around his cock and squeezed.
He sucked in a breath, and a tremble attacked his body. “Your little hands are so sweet on me.”
“Josh, oh, I’ve missed you so much. I want you.”
“And you’re going to get me,” he said, dropping down and taking my mouth in a kiss that left no doubt in my mind exactly what was going to happen next.
