Free Never Turn Back by Lorna Lee Page B

one.”
    He turned back around with two glasses in his hands. Meri focused on the glass of brandy he offered to her, so she did not notice his barely filled glass. “Drink up. We have more interesting things to get to.” He set his glass down on his desk.
    Meri took a gulp of the brandy. It burned in her throat. She swallowed it with a grimace followed by a coughing fit. Chuckling, he took the glass from her and said, “I guess brandy isn’t your drink. You need something smoother in your mouth to take away the taste.” He started kissing her, forcing his brandied tongue into her mouth. The boys in Finland never kissed me like this , she thought. Rather than struggle—her first inclination—she let his tongue explore her open mouth.
    He reached around, as if to hold her hand. Instead, he placed her hand on his crotch. She felt something long and hard. He moaned inside her mouth. At least I won’t have to go through any fancy business to make his popol hard.
    The kissing stopped. “Take off your clothes, Meri.” He instructed rather than requested.
    She fumbled with the buttons on her dress. She was about to take off her brassiere when he stopped her.
    “Let me do that…please.”
    She did.
    Standing behind her, he fondling her full breasts as the brassiere slipped to the floor. “You are such a beautiful woman. Tuula was right.” He whispered as he nibbled her ear.
    Her nipples responded by hardening, which surprised her and delighted him. She could tell because his nibbles seemed hungrier, and he rubbed his body against her. So far, this isn’t so bad… His hands slid down her slightly rounded belly to the top of her panties. He slipped his fingers inside her panties and around her full hips to her round buttocks. His fingers touched the place between her legs. She moaned when he invaded that place. Meri wondered who had made the sound.
    He guided her panties down to the floor. “Every part of you is perfect. I am a lucky man to be with you, my dear.”
    Meri felt flattered by his compliments, and then embarrassed by what happened next. Too poor to afford stockings, she was bare legged. He didn’t seem to mind, but she did. Her naked body captured his attention. Except she still had her shoes on. She was wondering what she should do about her shoes when she felt his hard popol against her buttocks. Had he already gotten undressed or undressed enough for his thing to be out?
    “Meri,” he whispered in her ear, sending shivers through her, “turn around.”
    She did.
    He was still fully clothed. This isn’t fair . He guided her to the couch in his office, leaving her clothes behind, leaving the condom in her dress pocket behind.
    “You are like an angel. I can’t believe you’re a virgin,” He said, all breathy whispers in her neck, breasts, and hair.
    Meri used her hands to cup his face, get his attention. “Protection?”
    “ Ah, oui .” Disappointment flashed in his lustful eyes. Begrudgingly, he sat up on the edge of his couch, reached in his pocket, tore open a packet, and rather effortlessly placed a long balloon-like thing on his penis. “A necessary evil, non ?” He smiled and dove back into suckling her breasts. The act of putting on the condom, it seemed, softened him.
    He lay on top of her and massaged her breasts eagerly while forcing his tongue back into her mouth. In a few moments, he was hard again. Using his knee, he spread her legs and shoved his penis into her. She groaned, but she wanted to scream. This is pain not pleasure. The pumping that Tuula had talked about began. She didn’t mention all the heavy breathing and grunting, too. Finally he thrust very hard, shuddered, and fell on top of her. The whole time Meri had her eyes tightly shut and her hands in fists against the side and back of the couch.
    He withdrew, tucked in his shirt, zipped up his trousers, and offered his hand to help her sit up. “You can get dressed now, Meri. We are done.” He smiled.
    As Meri sat up,
