hands, and he clasped it. She tugged him through a second doorway in the kitchen and down a hall that led past a couple of bedrooms and a bathroom, then to the last room on the right.
    "I ... um ... don't have any condoms," he admitted. He glanced at the queen-sized bed beckoning in the middle of the room. If she didn't have any, he would offer to drive to the drugstore and buy a package.
    Melody linked her arms around his neck and pressed her full, round breasts against him. "Don't worry, Sebastian. I've got two full boxes."
    Though he was glad to hear it, he briefly wondered if she'd been stocking up in anticipation of taking Luther to her bed.
    He was losing it. Did he really care why she had them?
    "Sebastian?" She yanked just a little on a hunk of his hair.
    "Hmm?" He gazed down into her chocolate eyes.
    "Kiss me."

CHAPTER 4
    Sebastian really did know how to kiss. Damn near curled her toes. Melody had always noticed his sensual lips. Well, she realized she'd noticed them now, anyway. And damn if she weren't comparing his kisses to Luther's. Which actually wasn't fair. She and Luther had only ever shared friendly kisses and never passionate. She had wanted to change that.
    Hadn't she?
    Sebastian's tongue slipped in between her lips to mix with hers. He tasted of mint gum. She rubbed her breasts against his chest, wanting him to feel her erect nipples. Mel decided then and there they both had on way too many clothes. She was itching to feel his bare muscles.
    She sucked on his tongue, drawing it farther in, learning the taste of it ... of him. She reached for the hem of his skin-tight black T-shirt, inching it up over his abs, feeling the warm male skin. Wetness pooled between her legs.
    "Mmm," she moaned around his tongue. He pulled at it and she reluctantly allowed him to have it back. Man had an amazing tongue.
    "Here, let me," he said. With a swift movement, he shrugged out of the shirt and tossed it on the floor.
    Mel took a moment to drool ... stare at his muscular chest and sculpted abs. Her gaze raked over his torso and to his biceps.
    Lord, talk about man-candy.

    How had she missed this guy working at her law firm?
    Well, she really hadn't missed him. She'd known he was attractive, but she was a partner and didn't date white guys.
    Yet here she was. Straight past dating directly to taking him to bed.
    "Am I the only one getting naked?" he asked, arching an eyebrow.
    "Oh, hell, no." Mel pulled the jersey knit dress up over her head and threw it on top of his shirt. She wore only her plain white bra and a rather average pair of pink striped panties.
    Not exactly "let's have sex wear." It was embarrassing, but nothing to be done about it.
    She linked her finger into the waistband of his jeans and tugged. "Now these."
    He grinned somewhat crookedly and undid the snap.
    "Maybe I need a little help with the zipper."
    Mel laughed. "I think I'm beginning to see you're a tease, Sebastian."
    With one hand she cupped the obvious bulge in his jeans and with the other she slowly lowered the zipper. She slipped her hand inside the pants and then into his navy blue boxer shorts.
    "Oh, shit," Sebastian said when she raked her nail along the shaft. He nuzzled her throat, kissing and then sucking at her pulse.
    After a few moments of enjoying him kissing her neck, Mel planted her lips on his as her finger now swirled around the tip, rubbing in a drop of pre-cum. Her pussy clenched, 33

    anticipating the feel of that cock thrusting in. Melody pushed his jeans and boxers down his thighs.
    "Off," she urged against his mouth.
    "Okay," he agreed, "but that means something comes off you, too."
    Melody reached around her back to unclasp her bra, never taking her gaze from Sebastian. In her thirty-two years she'd seen her share of naked men. Good-looking ones, too. But damn, Sebastian
