She let him lead her into a hallway and up the stairs. He bypassed a few closed doors and went to the one down the hall that stood open and dark. He walked in, flipped on the light and let Trina take in her fill of the room as he released her hand and firmly closed the bedroom door behind them.

The bedroom was pretty bare, only housing a large king-sized, four-poster, wooden bed frame. It was covered with a black comforter and a few big body pillows lay along 1the wooden headboard. Two nightstands and a dresser were the only other furniture in the room. Two doors stood open, one led to a small walk-in closet filled with clothing and the other to his private bathroom, the tub in clear view. A pair of discarded jeans lay on the floor and black boxer briefs were on top of them, the only sign of mess in his otherwise clean room.

“Do you have anything to drink?” Trina faced him.

Navarro nodded. “I do but I don’t want you drunk.”

“Oh.” She swallowed. “I thought it would relax me.”

“Undress and climb onto the bed.” He slowly grinned, showing white teeth.

“So we’re just getting right to it, huh?” Her heart hammered in her chest.

“Yeah. I’ve been hard since the parking lot. Undress and climb up onto my bed, Trina. I want you flat on your back in the middle.”

Uncertainty gripped Trina as she hesitated. “Can we turn down the lights? Maybe even turn them off? I wasn’t kidding about the part where I look better with my clothes on.”

His grin died as blue eyes narrowed. “If this is going to work you need to do what I say, Trina. You need to follow orders. Take off all your clothes. I want you to stretch out on your back in the middle of my bed, completely naked. Is that clear?”

Nervously, Trina started to undress and knew she was blushing heavily, feeling her cheeks flaming with heat. He’d asked to see her naked but she hoped he didn’t change his mind once he got her that way. She eyed his black comforter with dread and realized that with her white skin she was probably going to look dead lying on top of it.

With her fair skin she avoided the sun as much as possible. She hoped she didn’t blind him.

She kicked off her shoes, then unzipped her jeans and slid them down her legs and off, then pulled her shirt off and let it drop. She was glad her bra and bikini-cut undies matched. If she’d known he was going to be seeing her undressed she’d have worn white—it would be less startling against her skin than the black she wore. She risked a glance at him. He was still fully dressed, watching her silently. She paused.

“Aren’t you going to get undressed?”

“I will. Take it all off.”

Shit.
Biting her lip again, she reached behind her to unfastened her bra and looked away from him as she let it drop. She hoped he didn’t get turned off because gravity had dipped her breasts a bit and her stomach wasn’t firm or flat. She blushed with embarrassment, assuming he was firm all over.

She reached for her undies last, to slide them down, wondering how he was going to react to the fact that she was totally shaved everywhere from the waist down. She walked stiffly to his bed, realized it was higher than a standard bed, and really did have to climb up since the mattress was hip-high on her. She got to the center of the mattress 1and slowly rolled onto her back to stretch out just as he’d ordered her to do. She risked another curious glance his way.

Navarro’s shirt was opened slightly so she saw a hint of tanned skin and defined chest but she looked at his face to watch his reaction to her. His gaze roamed her body while he unfastened more buttons on his flannel shirt but she didn’t see disgust as he studied her. He actually looked turned on, if she were any kind of judge of his expressions. She was more nervous than aroused as her attention dropped to fix on his chest, which he revealed when he dropped the shirt.

She experienced the feeling of being punched in the gut as she stared at his perfectly muscled chest, then decided it was better than perfect. His skin was tan over ridges of muscles on his taunt, firm stomach. He had a little hair on his chest—only a small smattering—but hair dipped in a line from under his bellybutton down to the snap of his pants. Two tan hands gripped the front of them as he opened them slowly.

“Trina?”

“Yes?” Her voice shook.

“Don’t look so scared, babe.”

“I’m nervous.” She figured honesty was best and just admitted it.

He chuckled. “I’m the one under pressure.”

Her gaze flew to his in surprise. “Pressure?”

“You think I’m worth a hell of a lot of money.” He grinned. “Relax, babe.”

The smile was instant and something she couldn’t stop. “You’re totally eye candy. I just wish I were.”

He left his black sexy briefs on as he walked to the bed. “I have no damn complaints.” His gaze slid over her body. “Trust me. From where I’m standing, you look damn good.”

“Thank you.”

A chuckle escaped him. “Look at me.”

She met his eyes, watching them. “I am.”

“What do you want?”

“I don’t know. I told you, I don’t…” She sighed, a bit embarrassed but ready to be completely open with him. “I know what the term vanilla means since I read. My sex life has totally been as vanilla as it can be. I’ve read about a lot of things but I haven’t done much. I know I was married for sixteen years but he wasn’t into experimenting. I wanted to but he didn’t.”

Navarro watched her. “That’s why you want me. You want to experience all of those things you fantasize about, don’t you, babe?”

Trina felt embarrassed but she’d gone this far so she figured she might as well totally extend herself. “Yes. I’ve never been more attracted to a man than I am to you. I 1told you that I overheard some women at the diner talking about you. Saying that you are really good at sex and you’re...”

“I’m what?” He inched closer to her.

“Um…really good in bed and a little wild. That’s what one of them said. She said you were a hell of a lot of fun and another one agreed with her.”

Dark blue eyes twinkled with amusement as his lips curved into a sexy smile. “So I got good reviews, huh?”

She smiled back. “Yes.”

Navarro stared at her. “Your days of having boring sex are over. I’m the man who’s going to take you to new heights and I’m the man who’s going to show you what you’ve been missing out on. You tell me what you’ve done and then I’ll show you what you’ve been missing.”

Trina licked her lips, letting her gaze run once more over his muscular chest and six-pack abs, voting silently that he was the sexiest man on the planet to her. Her body was already responding to just the sight of him and he hadn’t even climbed into bed with her yet.

“Trina?”

She met his eyes. “Yes?”

“I’m damn impatient to get my hands and mouth on you. I want you too damn bad to wait forever for you to answer my questions. Do you see what you do to me? If you don’t start talking then we’re going to have this conversation much later.”

Her focus lowered down his body to his black boxer briefs and the sight there caused her heart to pound. Trina couldn’t miss that he was sporting a major erection.

Navarro wasn’t just eye candy from the waist up. She could clearly see how much he wanted her because he was testing the limits of how far a pair of briefs could stretch.

She was beyond impressed, she was a little intimidated.

“Babe?”

She met Navarro’s eyes. “Yes?”

“Don’t tell me I’ve left you speechless. Answer my questions if you want me.”

Trina wanted him so bad she ached. She had to force herself to think to remember what he wanted to know but it was hard to concentrate when Navarro was standing so close to her.

“Wild to my husband was doggy style.”

Trina couldn’t miss the surprise that crossed Navarro’s face as he took a deep breath. “Have you ever had anal sex?”

She shook her head. “I can’t say I ever missed not having it either.”

A laugh burst from him and his expression softened with humor. “Did your husband like oral sex?”

“Getting it but he never gave it.”

1Humor evaporated and shock transformed his features. “Never?”

“He tried it twice but he didn’t like it so he never did it again. It just made me feel uncomfortable and I didn’t enjoy it either so I didn’t bug him about it.”

Navarro shook his head. “You’re damn near virginal, aren’t you, babe?”

She shrugged. “Probably.”

“Did he turn you on?”

“Yes.”

“But left you high and dry in the end?”

Another blush stained her cheeks from the embarrassment of having spent sixteen years in a marriage with dull sex. “I loved him and he was a good man.”

“But he didn’t know his ass from his elbow in bed, did he?” Navarro didn’t wait for an answer. “I want you to relax and trust me. Can you follow orders? You need to do what I say, babe, without question. You’ll like what I do and if you don’t, I’ll find what you do enjoy. You have to be honest with me about everything. Don’t fake a damn thing, even though I have a feeling you’ve gotten pretty good at that over the years. Are we clear about that?”

“Yes.”

He paused. “Have you been tested?”

She eyed him, confused. “Tested for what?”

He stared at her, waiting. She nodded, understanding dawning when he directed his attention to her thighs and then looked back at her.

“I get regular checkups and I don’t have anything. Aren’t we using condoms? I mean, do you know for sure you don’t have anything? I’m not on any form of birth control.”

“I’m clean and I can’t get you pregnant.” His mouth tensed. “I had an accident when I was younger that left me sterile.”

Sympathy welled in her. “I’m sorry. Are you all right?”

“If you’re asking me if everything works, it does, but I can’t have kids.”

The look in his eyes bothered Trina, spotting real anger there and perhaps a little resentment as well. “My husband couldn’t have children either.”

Shock paled Navarro’s features for a second. “Excuse me?”

“Ted had leukemia when he was a teen and it left him sterile. You looked so angry when you said you couldn’t get me pregnant. I’m sorry for your loss. It didn’t bother Ted since he didn’t want children, always saying he worked too much to have kids anyway.”

Navarro’s mouth twisted into a tense line. “Did he tell you after you married him?”

“No. He was upfront about it on our first date and wanted me to know before we got close.”

“You didn’t want children either?”

1She hesitated. “I wanted them but I loved Ted. I talked to him a few times about adoption but his work schedule was pretty hectic and he said we were happy enough without them. He just really didn’t want to discuss it so I let it drop.”

Navarro was staring down at her with a strange look on his face. “Spread your thighs wide open for me.”

“Wow.” She was stunned. “Zero to sixty, huh?”

He smiled. “Spread for me.”

Licking her lips, Trina spread her legs wide. She was grateful for the yoga she’d picked up after Ted’s death. She was pretty flexible and she kept her to a routine, in the morning and at night. She was slightly embarrassed as she watched Navarro tear his gaze from hers to look slowly down her body until his only focus was on her exposed sex.

She saw him take a deep breath. “Beautiful.”

Arching her eyebrows, she watched him watching her. His gaze rose to meet hers and a grin curved his lips.

“What?”

“Beautiful?”

He nodded. “Oh yeah, babe. Do you enjoy looking at my body?”

“You’re in shape and you look great. You’re a hard body and everyone loves one of those.”

He chuckled. “If I liked really hard bodies I don’t think I’d be into women. Have you ever heard the saying “opposites attract”? Well, I’m damn attracted to you and I’m hot looking at your softer body and your curves. Your skin reminds me of milk and I love it a hell of a lot.”

She swallowed, relaxing a little on the bed, and was relieved he wasn’t turned off by her. She met and held his look, certain that she saw passion in his eyes. Her gaze lowered down his body to the bulge in his briefs, an obvious sign he was definitely turned-on. She jerked her gaze back up to his face to see that he was smiling again, looking amused, and hoped it wasn’t at her expense.

“Close your eyes and just feel, okay? You look ready to flee.”

She obeyed him and forced herself to relax, ready and willing to trust him. Two large hands gently touched the insides of her thighs. His hands were rough textured and the sensation made her jerk a little in surprise, her eyes opening to see Navarro smiling again.

“Did my touch startle you?”

“Your hands are rough.”

“They are calloused from work. Am I hurting your skin? You’re so damn soft.” His hands brushed her inner thighs again.

She shook her head. “It just surprised me. It actually feels good.”

1He chuckled. “Close your eyes again and keep spread wide for me. I’m going to show you the finer points of oral sex, babe. I promise you that you’ll take pleasure in what I do.”

She forced herself to relax even though her heart pounded, reminding herself that this was what she wanted.
Navarro is a stranger so if things go bad, well, I rarely see him in
town
, she thought.
I’ll make the loan to him but I don’t have to talk to him to have him mail a
check every month if the sex thing doesn’t…

He stretched her labia open with his thumbs while he brushed his fingers over her mound. She tensed, though she didn’t mean to. The guy was spreading her wider, causing air to hit her clit.
No, it isn’t just air
, she thought,
it is warm.
Her heart skipped a beat with the realization that he was breathing on her and a second later his hot tongue slid across her sensitive bud. She jerked a little at the strong lick but didn’t try to slam her thighs closed. Navarro’s shoulders still pushed against her to pin them open as his mouth closed completely over her clit. Trina frantically grasped at his comforter while the man proceeded to suck on and lick her sex, tugging on it in strong pulls.

Pleasure tore through her. She’d never experienced anything that felt that way before. It was too much, too intense, but she didn’t fight to get away from that mouth.
