The breath he was able to take was immediately knocked out of him as she sat back and pulled her top off, leaving herself gloriously half naked in front of him. His gaze was immediately pulled to her chest, his eyes darkening at the sight. He bit his lower lip in a failed attempt to stop the strangled sound of need that worked its way out of his throat.

Before she leaned towards him, he'd take the time to slip off his own shirt. He closed his eyes and let his head fall back to give her full access to his neck. His hips bucking upwards slightly on their own accord as each kiss sent a line of fire straight to his core. His hands explored her body more fully now, traveling upwards to her chest, his caress soft and teasing.

There was only so much teasing he could take though, and if her stripping in front of him hadn't been a sign of what she was willing to do, he didn't know what would have been. Holding her close to him, he turned in the settee again until he could settle her softly down on her back. He loomed over her, just taking her in before he lowered himself and pressed a kiss just below her collar bone. Even though he felt like he knew the answer, he still had to ask. Needed to hear her say it. "Are you sure?" he murmured against her skin, just loud enough for her to hear.
