"Never," he said gruffly. Somehow he managed to hold still as her slim fingers dipped inside the waist of his trousers.
"I want you to know something," Ave said. The first button popped free, revealing the swollen head of his sex. Her fingers stole to the next button. "I am more in your power, Lucian, than you could ever be in mine. I can't be without you." A quiver ran through him at her words. "You are my life, and I will do anything to stay with you," she added deliberately, plucking at the fourth button.
