closer. And I didn’t intend to
     start with Parker.
    “Meagan?”
    I held my tongue.
    “Come on. I know you weren’t a virgin when we had sex the first time.”
    “Of course not. Don’t be silly.”
    A few seconds ticked by, unnerving me while his gaze penetrated my body. I couldn’t
     see him, and he had full view of me.
    “When was the last time you had a serious relationship?”
    “Never.”
    “Never,” he repeated. “I see.”
    Did he?
    He set his hands on both sides of my head and leaned forward. His lips hit mine, softening
     me with their touch. And then he spoke against my mouth. “Submit to me. No one will
     know. I promise. We’ll keep it to ourselves for as long as you desire. You can trust
     me.”
    I already was submitting, wasn’t I? It did relieve me that he verbalized his promise,
     however.
    He gently set his lips on mine again and licked the seam between them.
    I parted, my tongue reaching out to taste him. I loved his taste. And he kissed better
     than any man I’d ever been with. He tasted of the wine we’d shared at dinner, a deep
     fruity flavor. I hadn’t seen a wine list. He’d ordered it without looking, but I was
     sure it had cost more than the outfit I’d been wearing. Though perhaps that wasn’t
     a stretch.
    When his tongue dipped inside, I moaned, losing myself to his kiss.
    The urge to burrow my hands in his thick hair was strong, but every time I moved my
     wrists, I was reminded of their restraint. And damn if it didn’t make me hot. A tight
     ball of desire built in my belly and grew with each passing moment.
    When he released my mouth, I was almost disappointed, until he trailed kisses down
     my neck and lower, sucking a nipple between his lips.
    I arched my back, thrusting upward. My heels dug into the bed on both sides of his
     knees.
    Suddenly he pinched my other nipple between two fingers, drawing a moan from me. “Parker…”
    He released my nipple with a small pop. “Mmm. Normally I would ask you to keep quiet.
     But God, woman, I love the sounds you make. And when you mumble my name, it makes
     my dick harder. Besides, every time I’ve fucked you before, you’ve been forced to
     hold back. So, I’m going to let you make all the noises you want tonight. It’s sexy
     as hell.”
    How chivalrous …
    He let his fingers dance over the undersides of my breasts and then lower, stroking
     my belly until it dipped.
    I bit my lip when he grabbed both thighs at the juncture to my sex and pressed them
     wider. He was right about one thing—I was meticulous, and luckily that extended to
     keeping myself groomed. How was I to know he would show up at my office today and
     whisk me away for the night?
    “I love this little strip you keep up the center.” Two fingers landed above my clit
     and smoothed upward. “Normally, completely bare is more my style. But you might change
     my mind. I’ve been thinking about this little patch for six weeks.”
    Lord. I swallowed.
    Before I wrapped my mind around the visual, he slid down the bed farther and lowered
     his face to my pussy. Seconds later, my lower lips were held open, and his tongue
     plunged into me.
    My lips fell apart, and I released a deep groan. He was so fucking good with his mouth.
     After that first night together, I hadn’t had the pleasure of his lips again. The
     night of the rehearsal dinner and the reception, we’d made do with cramped quarters
     on a tight timeline.
    When he flattened his tongue on my sex and lapped upward to flick it over my clit,
     I nearly shot off the bed.
    He held me steady, though, gripping my thighs, prepared for my reaction. And then
     his teeth pinched my swollen nub, just enough to make me flinch at the shock but not
     enough to truly hurt.
    As if all my blood flooded to my clit, it pulsed against his teeth.
    And then he flattened his face over me and sucked hard.
    I screamed. The sensation was amazing. So much pressure. Building. Climbing. Threatening
     to explode in a
