Free Bad Boy Christmas: Box Set by Cheyenne McCray

fingers along the inside of her knee. Kate moaned as he moved further down, his slow and sensual touches driving her crazy. He left the stocking bunched up at her ankle, then moved his hands to the clasps on her other leg. When he’d pushed the stocking down to her ankle he pressed his face firmly between her thighs and audibly inhaled.
    “I love your perfume. Honeysuckle and woman.” With a nod of approval, he reached for the waistband of her garter and underwear. “Lift up,” he instructed as he pulled them down over her hips. She complied, closing her thighs to help him slide the garments down her legs, knees, and each stiletto-clad foot.
    When he finished he pressed his hands against the inside of her knees, pushing her thighs as wide as she could go. He rocked back on his heels as his gaze rested on her swollen lips. He continued looking, at her naked breasts, her belly and stopping at her fully exposed clit. “Trimmed.” He reached out, running a finger through the strip of light brown curls on her mound. “Nice.”
    She trembled, wanting him to taste her. Instead, he backed up and grabbed one of her feet. For a man with such big hands, he unbuckled the delicate strap of her Choo stiletto with amazing speed. He removed the heel, and then the other one, along with the stockings he’d left around her ankles.
    “Come on.” He brought her to her feet in the cool grass, his arms around her, her nipples brushing his chest. “I’ve got work for you now.”
    “Work?” She leaned into him, her body still trembling.
    With a sexy grin, he stroked a strand of hair from her face. “You’re going to bathe me.” Before she could respond, he scooped her up in his arms and held her against his muscled chest. She clung to him as he turned and carried her toward the pool, stepped into the water, and slowly waded in.
    While bracing herself for the chill, he let her down into the waist-deep pool. Surprisingly, it was the perfect temperature, so deliciously refreshing. Then, he moved to the side of the pool, and reached beneath a small rocky overhang she hadn’t noticed earlier.
    Moments later he called out, “Over here.”
    She was surprised at how much she enjoyed the game, and how excited it made her. “Yes, Master.”
    He waited as she approached him. When she reached his side he said, “Just a sec,” and dove under the water and then resurfaced, flinging his wet hair out of his eyes and splattering her at the same time.
    Kate wiped the water from her face. “What would you have me do now?”
    He eased onto the underwater bench built beneath the overhang and indicated the bottle of shampoo behind him. “Wash my hair.”
    After Kate squirted a generous amount of coconut-scented shampoo onto one hand, she set the bottle down and smoothed the shampoo onto Nick’s hair. “Yeah, that’s it.” He gave a sigh of satisfaction as she soaped his head and massaged his scalp. It’d been a long night fighting that blaze and he was short on sleep. But something about her gave him a sense of renewed vitality.
    When she finished washing his hair he rinsed the shampoo out and instructed her to scrub his body. She squeezed mango soap onto a loofa sponge, working the lather over his body.
    “This smells wonderful. You have great hands.” He raked his gaze over her body. “Among other things.”
    “You work out regularly, don’t you?” She rubbed the sponge over his back.
    “Just about every day.” He shrugged his powerful shoulders. “There’s a weight room at the firehouse. And of course there’s a great workout facility here at TLC.”
    Kate moved in front of him, standing between his thighs. With an expression of concentration on her face, she scrubbed his shoulders. “Stand up.” He cocked one eyebrow at her and she rolled her eyes. “Stand up, please, Master.”
    “That attitude’s gonna cost you.” Nick eased to his feet until he was towering over her. “Just as soon as you finish the job.”
    She
