Tempting Taine by Kate Silver

had left its mark on her, softening her hard edges, leaving her with some faint silvery lines on the skin of her stomach.
    His finger dipped in between her legs and came back glistening with wetness.   "You do want me.   You can't hide it any longer."
    No longer content to take a passive role, she ran her hands over the planes of his chest.   He carried more muscle than he had as a youth.   He was thicker, stronger.   A man.
    She shut her eyes, reveling in the feel of his skin under her hands.   It had been far too long since she had touched him like this.   Far, far too long.   She wanted him closer, needed him closer, to fill in the empty spot in her heart - the place that had remained empty since she had walked away from him so many years ago.  
    "Taine," she whispered under her breath.  
    "Verity," came the whisper back.   She could feel his breath on her cheek, and then his mouth was on hers, kissing her.
    She pressed her body against her, the nakedness between her thighs pushing against the hard denim of his jeans.   She squirmed against him, needing him to be closer, and reached down to unzip him.
    He dragged his mouth from hers.   "Wait a sec," he said, fumbling in his pocket for a small foil packet.
    He ripped it open with his teeth as she tugged off his jeans and boxers, displaying him in all his pride.
    She reached down and stroked him, loving the feeling of his hardness in her hands.   Her pussy throbbed at the prospect of having him inside her.  
    He pushed her hands away almost roughly.   "Christ, Verity, I won't last if you do that to me."
    She reached for him again, not caring if he lasted or not as long as she could keep on touching him.   She needed to feel him inside her once more, to have him fill the empty space in her heart.
    He kicked their clothes into a pile and tugged Verity down to the ground.   Lying on his back, he sheathed himself in the condom and then reached for her.   "Ride me.   Ride me just like you used to."
    Awkward and out of practice she straddled him clumsily, and then slowly lowered herself on to his cock.   She was wet and ready, but it had been such a long time, too long, since she had had a man inside her.   She paused, letting him stretch her, until she could sheath him fully inside her.
    He was bigger than she had remembered him to be - way bigger.   Slowly, she inched herself down on him, loving every moment of the delicious torment.
    His hands on her hips, he urged her down on to him.   "Christ, Verity, are you trying to kill me?" he ground out, as she paused for a few seconds to allow her body to accommodate him.
    "It's been a long time," she muttered.   "Just give me a moment to adjust."
    "God, you are trying to kill me."
    She was too busy enjoying the sensation of having him deep inside her to answer.   If she was killing him, he was killing her in equal measure.   It had been so long since any one had touched her.   Just having him inside her was almost enough to make her come.
    His hands moved to her breasts, teasing her nipples to hard points and making her so wet that he pushed inside her the rest of the way.  
    "Ride me now."
    Just try to stop me, she thought, as she rose up and then sank down again on him.   Oh, how she had missed this.   Not just the pleasure, although that was already threatening to burst its barriers and overwhelm her, but the closeness.   The caring.   The love.
    A sheen of sweat glistened on his forehead, despite the cold of the night air.   "Fuck, Verity.   I want you so badly.   I'm going to come."
    "I'm right there with you," she managed to gasp.
    She felt his whole body shiver under her, and he thrust his hips up into her with a guttural cry as he orgasmed .
    The throbbing of him inside her as he came pushed her over the edge as well.
    A scream burst from her throat as the pulsing in her body took over from every other sensation, losing her in the pleasure of having Taine loving her again.   Nothing else in
