Free Beginning of an Eclipse (SIN CITY HEAT SERIES PREQUEL) by K. S. Page A

every part of her body in order to discover every secret spot she’d placed the scent.
     Although she sat still and tense, Roni couldn’t help but notice the way the muscles in Darrell’s thighs tightened and bunched up whenever he switched the gears of the SUV. It made her think about the way he would use them to push and bury himself deep between her thighs.
         When they came to a stoplight, Darrell impatiently sat there waiting. He drummed his fingertips on the steering wheel and glanced over at Roni who nervously licked her lips. Darrell's eyes followed the path of her tongue when it glided over her bottom lip, watching as if it were a science to be studied. He shifted uncomfortably in his seat and adjusted his pants to try to find a comfortable position for his erection. Seeing the restless movement, Roni caught them both off guard when she slipped her hand over the hard muscles of his thigh and moved it up to cup his throbbing manhood in her palm. Darrell cursed under his breath at her touch, and the second the light changed, he floored the accelerator and didn’t stop until they were in front of her house.
         Following behind her, Darrell watched as her trembling fingers tried to unlock the door with little success. He reached around her and placed his hand over hers to help her insert the key. The moment the door closed behind them, he pushed her up against it. His lips found hers and sipped from her mouth, tasting the Cristal she’d been drinking at the party. He immediately thought about a description he’d read about the pricey champagne: layers of citrus, vanilla, pear and nutmeg.
         Delicious. The kiss was wet and wild and hungry. Darrell’s mouth dominated while his tongue caressed every sweet inch of hers as he expertly plucked the pins from her hair that kept it in place. The moment the thick strands were free, he quietly moaned in appreciation when her hair fell past her shoulders in soft, lustrous waves.
         “You know how bad I want it?” His tongue softly outlined the shell of her ear.
         “Do you?” Roni nodded in jerky movements. “I wanted you from the moment I saw you. It was different from anything I’d ever felt. I fuckin’ crave you Roni. I ain’t been able to satisfy that craving with any other woman.”
          He unzipped her dress and pushed it down to her waist. He stared at them for so long that Roni started getting self-conscious.
         “I guess I won’t ever be anyone’s centerfold.”
         He frowned in confusion. “What?”
     “My breasts. I…I just don’t want you to be disappointed. I mean, I know you’re probably used to women who turn flips in bed and….”
     Finally realizing what she was getting at, Darrell covered her mouth with his to shut her up before placing his hands on either side of her face.
     “Did you hear what I just said?” He looked deep into her eyes. “It don't matter who or how many women I been with. You the only woman I want. Do you understand what I’m tellin' you?”
     Roni’s teeth nibbled on her bottom lip and nodded. Darrell’s sigh was heavy when the uncertainty still shadowed her eyes. “Nah, you don’t….” The look he gave her was scorching hot in its intensity. “But you will….”
     His lips moved down to her breasts and proceeded to worship them with an eager mouth. When he discovered her nipples were ultra-sensitive, he teased and sucked and licked until she begged him to stop. While he continued the sweet torturous assault, he slid a hand along the inside of her thigh and made his way to her center. He could feel the damp heat greeting his fingertips moments before he actually touched her.
     Darrell drew out her torment as he grazed the top of the silky material with the back of his knuckles before lightly rubbing and caressing her through the thong.
     Roni's legs parted, wordlessly begging him to touch the part of
