Killian slowly lowered Eve's feet to the carpeted floor before untying the silk belt on her waist and sliding the robe off her shoulders to allow it to pool at her feet. His breath caught in his throat as he looked down at her lusciously naked body: slender shoulders, full and sloping breasts, narrow waist, lush hips covered by that single strap of black silk and lace, shapely long legs..

His heated gaze returned to her face, eyes narrowing as he saw a return of that uncertainty in her expression. Her shoulder had tensed, as if she was waiting for a blow to fall.

"You're beautiful, Eve," Killian assured her huskily. "And anyone who has told you otherwise is nothing but a fool!" he added harshly, having no intention of saying that bastard name and allowing the other name to intrude into their intimacy, while at the same time well aware that the other man had to be the reason for Eve's insecurities about her body. "An idiot and a fool," he repeatedly firmly. "And I intend to worship every delicious inch of you!"

Eve glowed, feeling beautiful under Killian's admiring gaze. She smiled at him. "Can I finish undressing you now...?"

Killian seemed to cease breathing for several seconds before nodding abruptly. "Yes..." He stepped back.

Eve had never thought herself as a femme fatale, how could she when she'd only ever made love with one man in her life and even that had become more of a chore than enjoyment? but there was something deliciously wicked about slowly unbuckling the belt at Killian's lean waist. The bulge pressed against the zip as she slowly lowered it to reveal black boxers beneath. Eve sank down onto her knees in front of him as she stepped out of his trousers.

"Eve!" Killian reached out to tightly grip her shoulders. "I'm not sure- "

"Oh my...!" She had now stripped off those black boxers to reveal the heavy weight of his jutting arousal, moistening her lips with the tip of her tongue before her head slowly lowered. Killian gave a strangled gasp, his knees threatening to buckle as he felt the moist rasp of her tongue run the length of his shaft before slowly taking him fully into her mouth.

It was torturing. Agonizing. Of the most exquisite kind!

An exquisite ecstasy that Killian enjoyed for as long as he could without releasing.

"Next time, Eve!" he groaned between gritted teeth as he reluctantly pulled away from her. "Right now I need to be inside you, before I go quietly and completely insane!"

He reached down to lift her before placing her against the covers and following her down onto the bed, his thigh draped across hers as she claimed those wickedly sensual lips with his own.
