His Absolute Assignment - Elise's Love Story: The Billionaire's Continuum (#1) (A Contemporary Romance Novel)
crotch against the front of his shirt and his stomach.  "You didn't whisper."
    Lucent shrugged, then kissed the tip of my nose.
    "Did you know," I said, beginning my question, "I feel very comfortable with you?"
    "I hoped as much," he said.  "I enjoy hearing you say it, though."
    "I didn't always."
    "I know.  I've given you plenty of reason not to feel that way, too.  I feel honored and cherish every day that you allow me this chance, Miss Tanner."
    I blushed and looked away from him.  "I'm writing a story about us," I mumbled under my breath.  "I'm not writing that one I said earlier, about the squirting or anything.  Lucent, I know this is dumb, but I wanted to write our story.  About us in the library, and how it all happened.  Kind of like a memoir, but I want it to be fiction, too.  I mean, I'll write it that way, sort of.  It's a strange idea.  I don't know if it's good or not.  I've been writing it all day, though.  I have a lot done."
    "I think it's a nice idea," Lucent said.  Moving his hands a little lower, from my waist to the top of my rear, he pulled me close to him.  "What do you like about the story?  Why do you like it?"
    "I don't know," I said.  I did know, I just didn't know if I wanted to say it out loud.
    Lucent smiled and waited.  He was always so patient.  If it was possible for anyone in the world to wait forever, I thought Lucent could.  I hoped he never had to, though.
    "I really liked it," I said, shy and quiet.  "I miss it a little bit in a way.  It was just us, you know?  It was kind of strange, but exciting, and an adventure.  That will never happen to us again, but it's probably one of the most memorable moments in my life.  I shared it with you, too.  Lucent, is it memorable to you?"
    Lucent leaned in close until his nose touched mine.  I could see his lips move, feel his words kissing against my lips as he spoke.  "I think about it every day.  I believe the days we spent trapped here were the best moments of my life up until then.  Now, every day after that, every day I'm able to spend with you, is wonderful.  I thought I was making a grave mistake back then, but now I don't know if I know anything.  I'm extremely happy with you, Elise."
    I pressed my nose against his, nuzzling him.  "You called me Elise," I said.
    "I did."
    "Is it because you love me and want to say it in a special way, or are you trying to convince me to prepare for some of your BDSM things?"  I stuck my tongue out at him, and then for good measure I licked the tip of his nose.
    "I'm certain I could be convinced of both if you keep that up," Lucent said, voice tingling with a playful growl.  "You realize you can't scream in here, correct?  There are certain rules and etiquette that must be adhered to in a library."
    "Is that how you're going to spin it?" I asked.  "You can do whatever you like to me and I can't protest because if I'm too loud I'll be going against the library rules?  I'm not sure if your logic is sound."
    "Perhaps not," Lucent agreed.  "I could always gag you, too."
    "With what?"
    "Please be aware that I'm not saying I would do this," Lucent said; a preface.  "If I were to, though, I would—"  His fingers crawled downwards, finding the hem of my skirt and peeling it away.  "—first remove your pantyhose."  He pushed the waistband of my skirt up so he could dip his fingertips into the waist of my pantyhose.  "And I would bunch them up, shove them between your pretty little lips, then remove my belt and latch it in place to make sure my gag stayed secure."
    My eyes widened, disbelieving.  "I don't think you'd do it."
    "Oh?  Why not?"
    "You'd have to show me," I said.  "I just don't think you'd do it, but if you would, you'd have to show me before I believed it."
    "Right here and now?" Lucent asked.
    I nodded, trying not to gulp or show fear or worry.  My heart was racing, fast, soaring.  I kind of wanted him to do exactly what he said.  Yes, we were in the
