Free The Darkest Pleasure by Jenika Snow

room. I gasped when he brought me into what seemed to be a greenhouse. It wasn't humid, as I expected; it was the most beautiful room I had ever seen. Flowers and trees of all varieties filled the room, making it seem as though we were in the middle of a jungle. There were no walls—not solid, anyway, but glass walls surrounded us, to let the sunlight stream in and nourish the plant life. I walked around and looked at each plant, absently touching and smelling the flowers. Some were in full bloom. Others, tiny buds just starting to swell. “This is so beautiful. Who grew all of these?” I continued to look at all the flowers and enjoy their heavenly aroma.
    "Mostly Hunter. As you can see, he has a green thumb. I occasionally enjoy gardening, but with my schedule, I can't venture out here in the daylight."
    I nodded as I made my way around the room. “You perform a lot of surgeries during the day or something?"
    "Or something."
    I turned to him and he smiled. He didn't elaborate on his response, and cryptic as it was, I didn't press him for a deeper explanation. I assumed he didn't like talking about work. Who did? As I walked the circumference of the room, I stopped in front of him. I don't know if it was the smell of the flowers, the champagne, or his scent, but I felt light headed and euphoric. We looked at each other for a second or two before his head dipped and he traced my lips with his tongue. I had hardly cooled down from our earlier explorations; my panties still wet from my arousal. I was so worked up, I moaned into his mouth from his simple touch. He must have taken that as a cue, because he crushed me to him and slanted his mouth over mine. Our tongues met in the middle and tangled for supremacy. Of course, he won, and I was thrilled at his dominant streak. It made me feel entirely feminine.
    "Oh, Ashliyn, I've never wanted anything more then I want you right now."
    He broke away from my mouth and buried his head at my neck as he whispered the words. I ran my hands up and down his muscled back, loving the way it flexed beneath my fingertips. It wasn't as if I were saving myself for marriage. I just had never found anyone I wanted desperately enough to lose my virginity to. Kerian, however, was the man I wanted to lose it to.
    "I want it just as much as you do.” I said the words into his chest and felt him tense all over. I took that as a good thing; maybe I had surprised him with my comment. He pulled back and looked down at me with so much desire, I shivered.
    "We shouldn't."
    "No, we really should.” I didn't know why I was being so blatantly sexual about this, but since meeting him, it was as if my body were on fire and he was the only one who could put it out. I watched as his eyelids dipped to half-mast at my comment. I could feel his stiff erection pressing against my stomach, and I moved closer. I heard him swallow and close his eyes as the softness of my stomach moved against the steel of his erection.
    "You want this?” He pressed into me farther and I moaned. I could hear my breathing now, and it sounded desperate. I nodded as I moved my hand down his stomach. I felt the defined muscles bunch together under my touch. My fingers slid over the top of his belt, the cold metal of the buckle a stark contrast to my overheated skin. My breath came out in a puff as my fingers wandered lower to his penis. I ran my hand the length of it and swallowed at its size. I was a virgin, yes, but I knew when I encountered a monster of an erection. Even through his pants, his shaft was huge. I could feel the outline of the head as it rose towards me, as if seeking me out. He felt thick and long, and I wondered if he would fit inside me. His breaths were coming fast and shallow, just as mine were, and I didn't know if he realised he was gripping my hips so tightly, it felt like pleasurable pain.
    "Are you sure about this?"
    I was so far gone from my arousal, all I could do was nod and squeeze his erection more
