Chapter 38

"Miranda how can I help but act differently now that I know how you feel about me?" he asked as he stilled the hands that were about to remove his shirt.

"All I meant was that by telling you that I love you, I wasn't trying to push you faster than you were ready to go. AJ let's just let things develop in their own time and let me go back to loving you now," she said as she wiggled her fingers free and finished removing his shirt.

"I like the sound of that, my dear," he told her and in turn began to undress her as well.

When they stood before each other naked, Miranda sighed in pleasure as she looked over his body. It was an impressive sight, he was lean and muscled, he was also battle scarred in places, but that just made him all the more appealing.

AJ was taking his turn at admiring her too; he had always loved the sight of an aroused woman. Miranda's nipples were hardened in anticipation of his touch. She was a vision to his hungry eyes. He came up behind her and bent his head slightly to nuzzle the curve of her neck. He remembered how sensitive that area was when he was making love to her the last time.

"Ummm, AJ that feels so good..." she sighed as she leaned back into his embrace.

As she leaned into his arms, AJ placed his hands on her hips to steady her, then allowed them to slide around to her tummy, and slowly slid them up to caress her ample breasts. Her sigh of pleasure was all that he could have hoped for.

He continued to kiss and nibble along the curve of her neck, as his hands were busy with her breasts. Taking her hardening nipples between his fingers, he rolled them back and forth, causing them to turn into hard little nubs.

Turning in his arms, Miranda wrapped hers around his neck and standing on tiptoe lifted her face to his for a kiss.

AJ could not deny her something that he longed for himself, so bent his head and took possession of her passionate mouth. Their tongues dueled for control of the kiss and both came out the winner because of it. AJ nipped at her bottom lip and then sucked it into his mouth as he had found that she loved. He then trailed soft sensuous kisses over her chin and cheeks before returning to her mouth to once again lay claim to her wonderful lips.

Sweeping her up into his arms, he crossed the short distance to her bed and soon they were both lying side by side.

"Oh AJ I want you!" she sighed.

"And I want you, my dear," he told her as he reached into his pants that were alongside the bed and pulled out a condom that he had brought with him.
