his way down her quivering body. He slipped her sweatpants down and off her long, slender legs, stopping afterward to kiss the insides of her thighs. She gasped in sweet agony as he ran his tongue the length of her calf and kissed her through her panties. Excited to the point of detonation, Jade feared she’d drown in her own love juices, causing her impatience to grow to explosive proportions, as well.
    Jade cupped the bulge of his manhood, which was straining against the confinement of his jeans. A beat later, she reached for his zipper and released it. Longing to have it deep inside her, she repositioned her body and rubbed her clitoris against it. Charles slowly slipped inside until he filled her completely. A moan of sheer delight passed through her lips. As he kissed and caressed the tender part of her neck, he drew his penis in and out of Jade ever so slowly, allowing her to savor every stroke. Like the building crescendo of a musical piece, Charles gradually increased his speed.
    Passion radiated from the core of her being and soon her entire body began to vibrate with liquid fire. Though she’d wanted to delay coming as long as possible, Jade was finally forced to abandon herself to the waves of pleasure pulling her under.
    Her orgasm had been so intense that she’d nearly forgotten how it had been with her ex. John had only cared about his own pleasure. If she got something out of their coupling, well, that was okay, too. Most of the time it turned out to be “wham, bam, thank-you, ma’am,” and John would turn onto his side of the bed and go to sleep, leaving her unsatisfied and miserable. But Charles had waited until she had an orgasm before he surrendered to his own. She could love the man for that alone.
    Charles kissed Jade before resting his head on her breasts. Contentedly, she ran her fingers through his hair and lightly stroked his back. As her heart slowed down and returned to its normal rate, the fulfillment she felt was like a warm blanket. She wondered how something as beautiful as this could be wrong.

    That night, after Charles left—he’d stayed around all day—Jade hugged herself as if she could keep the magic of his touch with her longer. She wasn’t certain where what had happened between them would lead, but she would no longer impede it. The small voice of worry and doubt in her head had grown silent—not that it mattered at this point. Had it not, she would have murdered it. The damage had been done. She was falling in love with the man. And in truth she was glad. For the first time in what seemed like ages, she felt complete.
    And this time when she dreamed of a man, they were beautiful dreams and not nightmares. Charles, dressed in shining armor and carrying a lance, charged across the drawbridge of the breached defenses she’d erected to keep him out, heading directly into her castle.

    Monte’s was a small, intimate, upscale restaurant a few blocks from the law office. She met Charles there for dinner on Tuesday night. They were seated at a small table in the corner, where the lighting was so minimal they had to hold the menus close to the candle on the table in order to read them.
    “I’m surprised the place hasn’t already burned to the ground because a patron tried to read the menu,” Jade whispered to Charles.
    “That’s why the menu is limited.”
    She smiled. “Funny boy, why don’t you order for me?”
    “You’re assuming my eyes are better,” he replied.
    “Or you’ve memorized the menu.”
    “How about the filet mignon?”
    “Where do you see that?”
He pointed to it on her menu and their hands touched. A jolt of excitement passed through Jade. “Sounds good.”
    The waiter appeared and took their order. He returned with their salads and the wine Charles had selected to go with the meal and poured each a glass.
    Jade took a sip and smiled. “This is quite smooth. How do you know so much about wine?”
    “Sometimes I have to meet with
