Free Pleasure for Pleasure by Jamie Sobrato Page B

than she’d realized. She squinted at the lace and confirmed that yes, indeed, the edges of her areolas showed through. Since she wasn’t wearing a bra, her breasts bobbed and swayed with every movement, and her nipples stood at attention from the cool night air seeping in the bathroom window.
    This wouldn’t do at all… Or would it? She wanted to seduce Trent, didn’t she? And what better way was there than to provide a little enticement, a hint of pleasures to come?
    Smiling, she went into the hallway, dug an old denim jacket out of the closet, and shrugged it on over her camisole. The effect was perfect, hiding just enough to keep her modesty intact, but if he looked closely, he’d get quite a show.
    A soft rap at the door startled her back to reality, and her mind immediately focused on Eros. That poor, ornery cat… Where the heck was he?
    A quick look through the peephole revealed Trent on the other side of the door, looking every bit as rumpled and tired as herself. She wondered if, after their steamy lesson, his dreams had been as erotic as hers. She opened the door and gave him an apologetic smile.
    â€œI owe you for this,” she whispered, stepping out into the hallway.
    The old house she lived in had been converted into four tiny apartments. Her neighbors could hear just about everything, and while several of them were nightowls, it wouldn’t win her any friends to make unnecessary noise at three-thirty in the morning.
    â€œI’ll add it to your tab.”
    Josie locked the door and when she turned to face Trent, the images of her dream came back. She felt her pulse quicken.
    â€œI guess we both should drive,” she offered, to take her mind off of more erotic thoughts.
    â€œNo way am I driving with you right in front of or behind me,” he said, matching her own hushed tones. “You can ride with me. I’ll bring you back after.”
    â€œThere’s nothing wrong with my driving.”
    â€œUh-huh. You’re riding with me.”
    â€œAnd if we find Eros, you’ll let the cat inside your precious car?”
    â€œAbsolutely. Eros and I are buddies from way back.”
    â€œIt figures.”
    Trent followed her down the front steps and then walked ahead of her to open the passenger side door of his car. Once they were both settled inside and buckled in, he took off in the direction of Lovers for Life.
    Josie hoped their riding together didn’t remind him of the last time they’d been in a car together, when she’d bailed on him at the beach. If he ever questioned her about that night, she had no idea how she’d explain her behavior. She had a sexual hang-up that not even she could understand, let alone offer any reasonable excuses for.
    But with Trent she was determined to conquer her fear. Soon, very soon, she’d be having wild, passionate sex with the man of her fantasies.
    This time, she wouldn’t run away.
    Their first lesson hadn’t exactly been a success. She may have flat-out failed to seduce Trent, but she wasso pleased with the sexual boldness she’d managed to display, she couldn’t count the entire night a failure. Even more important, she’d never backed down from him. She’d harnessed her fear and turned it into the courage she needed, and she was quite sure, given enough time, she’d have Trent as her lover.
    Her future lover yawned noisily. “You’re being awful quiet over there. Don’t fall asleep on me.”
    â€œTrust me, if I could sleep right now, I wouldn’t have called you.”
    â€œGot a plan for how we’ll find the cat?”
    â€œI need to search the center first, and if he’s not there, I guess we’ll have to grab a can of Fancy Feast and start combing the neighborhood.”
    â€œDoes your mother know he’s missing?”
    â€œNo, and she can’t find out. She’ll have a conniption.”
    â€œAh, so I’ve got a
