sobered and tossed his head toward the entrance to another room in the tent. “Proceed to where we shall retire, then take your clothes off.”
    Had he started with, “what’s your name” or “gee, you’re swell”, it might have been easier to comply. “Look mister. You are the ultimate male and all, but how about some pretty words before we get to the petting, huh?”
    Elydian stepped forward as if she hadn’t spoke at all, his dark, long fingers wrapped around her elbow. He guided her through a flap in the tent and down a slight incline a good six or seven steps, which led into the next room. A hint of spice enveloped her senses. The walls seemed thicker, and as a result, the air much cooler.
    “Ah, I think I understand. You wish to be coaxed,” he said as if it were a revelation.
    Well, if that’s what he wants to call it … “That would be pleasant, yes.” It was difficult to keep the sarcasm from her voice. I swear, some men …
    “Coaxed—with words?” he verified.
    “That’s the general idea.”
    “I see.”
    She waited, but nothing came from the big palooka. “You can start now.”
    “Right.”
    Still nothing. “Do you need a topic?”
    After a moment he took a breath, but still no response.
    “Seriously, mister—” At once his hands clamped onto her upper arms. Not hard, but adamant, and he urged her further into the darkness.
    “I don’t usually have to coax a woman into my bed with words.” His rumbled attempt at flirtation, which reeked of dominating masculinity and sorely lacked in word count, caused Jade’s entire upper body to vibrate. If his statement proved true, it was a sad day for women everywhere, because that voice of his could cause the habit to fall from a nun’s body in about three seconds flat.
    “Come now, my little Zsa-ninah. Let me show you an oasis of pleasure.”
    At his words her spine turned to jelly. That’s more like it—and what a cute nickname . Thank heavens he held her still or she would have toppled over onto the cushions he’d lead her to.
    He put just enough pressure on her arms to where her knees buckled, and Jade let him lower her to the velveteen pillows. The spice scent crept back to her nose, but this time it mixed with the unique smell of the male next to her. The aroma threatened to intoxicate her, and she welcomed the mood enhancement with a deep inhalation.
    “I’ll have your clothes now.”
    Jade didn’t have to lift a finger. He had her naked and sprawled across the cushions on the floor of his room before she could sigh. Oh, yes. This is definitely more like it . She leaned over, tucked her borrowed bracelets underneath a nearby pillow and shivered just a bit as his fingers glided through the ends of her hair and across her shoulder blades. His touch was heaven on her skin. Excitement urged her on, and she turned toward him, pressing into his hard chest. They reclined together amongst the pillows.
    One of his arms supported her upper back, and his hand curled around from behind to cup her breast. He groaned aloud as he tested its buoyancy. Goose bumps spread over her skin in delightful little waves. Leaning down, he teased her other nipple with his tongue, and then catching it between his lips, he latched on and wiggled her breast with a slight toss of his chin.
    Ensconced in absolute ecstasy, her jaw dropped open. Never, at any of the cuddle parties she’d participated in had she felt so instantly ready to come. He had both her fleshy sisters going at the same time, jiggling and bouncing against the skin of his hand and face. She closed her eyes, intending to check into his oasis of pleasure and never emerge again.
    Somewhere through the haze of his seduction, she felt his free hand slide up her leg to the juncture of her thighs to tease her kitty.
    “Oh. My. God,” she mouthed. She’d forgotten about his other hand. While working her breasts into a frenzy, he smoothed his fingers over her curls. Seeking to heighten the intensity,
