Pressing her chest against mine, she kisses me gently, her tongue slipping between my lips and finding mine. Her fingers play across my shoulders, down my chest, and lower. Bella's eyes sparkle with delight when her hand reaches my bare flesh, so hard and ready for her inside my boxers.

She rises seductively, grasps and yanks one thin, red tie with each hand, sending the teeny tiny scrap of fabric to the floor.

"That feel good, baby?" she asks rhetorically, her chin hooked over my shoulder and her tits pressed against my back.

"Mmmmm."

But it's not enough. I twist so that we're facing each other, and I let her see the raw need in my eyes.

"Bella, I'm—"

And she, who has always been ready with a condom, shakes her head and says, "Don't."

Instantly miserable, I lift her off me.
