Chapter 53

• That's why one hand was down her trousers and the other was nuzzling her nipple.
• She gasped as pleasure overcame her after sinking a finger into her center. A faint groan reached her ears, causing her eyelids to pop wide. It must have been a dream. Barry stood at the foot of her bed, his arm vanishing into his sweats as he took himself in hand, his ravenous gaze consuming her with a voracious need. It was scorching, raising her body temperature to a high degree. She had to force herself not to swoon at the intensity of his stare when their eyes met.
• She tugged on an already expanded nipple while shimmying her t-shirt up, revealing her breasts to him without taking her eyes off of his. His hand at his side clenched into a fist as his eyes fell on the scene and he quickly took a breath. She felt braver as he focused on her, letting go of her nipple to show off her underwear as her gaze darted toward his perspiration. She saw him gently raise his fisted hand and stretch his fingers over his constricted stomach. When he had first opened the door, she had seen his bare chest in all its splendor, and the sight had been seared into her retinas. She nearly stopped when she saw it now, with the gentle corridor light pouring over him and highlighting his well-defined muscles.
