Part II 6(9/23)

s him, letting my

fingers explore. Christian keeps his hand over mine, hiding

my bold fingers, while his thumb skates softly over the

nape of my neck. His mouth opens as he gasps softly, and

it’s the only reaction I can see to my inexperienced touch.

But it means so much. He wants me. Everything south of

my na一vel contracts. This is becoming unbearable.

A week by Lake Adriana in Montana is the final lot for

auction. Of course Mr. and Dr. Grey ha一ve a house in

barely aware of it. I feel him growing beneath my fingers,

and it makes me feel so powerful.

my need. Oh, yes! My inner goddess performs a perfect

triple Salchow in her ice skates.

“I look forward to it.” I lean over and plant a soft,

chaste kiss on his mouth. Glancing around, I realize that

our fellow guests at the table are astonished. Of course,

they’ve never seen Christian with a date before.
