Free Rose Blood by Jessica Miles

Actually no, don’t bother to answer that as I know exactly which type it will be… the last one”
    “Rose, is this really you talking, or is it the drink?”
    “Well my tongue always loosens a lot when I have a few but no, I’m not drunk in the slightest… Look, this is against my better judgement, but okay then…  You get a sample of me and I get a very quick peek, sound good?” She definitely was feeling a touch worse for wear, but she wouldn’t admit it…
    “Yeah, sounds good and I really like the idea of you having a loose tongue Rose. So, shall we go downstairs for our sample, or would you like it here next to my pool?”
    “No we absolutely have to have that downstairs in your bedroom”
    “Why’s that?”
    “So I can peek some more whilst you’re doing it”
    “Rose, I guarantee you won’t be looking around when I’m kissing you.”
    “I bet I will, unless you’re some kind of super kisser”
    “It has been said”
    “Oh shut up, Mr I’m So Fucking Wonderful… Take me to your bedroom, I am simply dying for my peek”
    “Rose Porter… Shut the fuck up yourself… and come with me”
    He took her hand and led her back down the stairs into his apartment.  He took his jacket and tie off and threw them on the sofa.
    They stopped outside his bedroom door and he smiled at her wickedly.
    “I’m just going to put something around your eyes, so you don’t peek too soon. Is that okay with you?”
    “Sure, go ahead.” She loved playful things… and this sounded interesting!
    He opened a tall chest of drawers which stood next to his room and got out a silky looking scarf.
    “Come here then” She obviously liked a bit of fun and he was up for that too… he tied it around her head. “How does that feel?”
    “Nice actually” Rather exciting in fact as it smelled rather delicious, of him she presumed…
    He took her hand and led her blindfolded into the bedroom.
    “I’m going to take it off in a minute, but first stand very still. This is a very short pre kiss before we get to the sample… ready?”
    “Sort of a sample of a sample then?”
    “Yes, that’s exactly what it is, just a tiny taster”
    His arms wrapped around her and he pulled her closely to him. She could feel the heat of him against her. She waited for the first touch and there it was, light as a feather he brushed her lips with his. And again, and again… but what was that now? She could feel his teeth gently biting her lower lip and his hot breath mingling with hers… A surge of pure desire shot through her body. A gasp escaped from her, she couldn’t stop it. And this was just the pre-kiss? She was in trouble here…
    “Nice pre kiss Rose? I’m taking the scarf off now and you can have your peek.” He untied it and dropped it on the floor.
    She stood and looked at him in a pre kissed daze. Her eyes finally wandered around his bedroom.
    He had a pure white room. She was surprised.
    “It’s not very playboyish in here, is it?”
    “What did you expect, black satin sheets and red velvet drapes?”
    “Kinda did I’m afraid… ”
    “Rose you don’t know me at all … Seen enough?”
    “Not much to see is there. It’s all white, white, white… I’m getting snowblind looking at it all!”
    “I have blue cushions…”
    “So you do! I’m so snowblind I didn’t see them straight away. It’s actually quite lovely Marcus. Quite unexpected but I really like it.”
    “So… ready for the sample then, now that you’ve had your peek, and rather a long one in fact…”
    “Mmmm… alright then… I’m ready. Bring it on Mr super kisser”
    He moved them further into the room, almost next to the bed.
    “Oh yeah? … don’t even think about it…”  That seemed to amuse him as he smiled at her.
    “What I’m thinking is none of your damn business Rose…”
    She watched his much too handsome face as it descended towards hers. This was crazy, what on earth was she doing in Marcus DeVere’s bedroom, having
