Unending Desire - Adult Excerpt



“Regina,” he warned, reaching for her.

“Yes, Nikoli.” She spoke submissively even as she remained clear of his grasp, opening the mirrored cabinet above the sink. From it, she chose a slender can of shaving cream and her razor.

He straightened in the tub, his legs splashing the water, sending more of it over the porcelain lip. “What is that? Why do you have it?”

“To shave you.” Enjoying his surprise, she went to the side of the tub and sank to her knees. “Now, don’t move. I don’t want to cut you.”

He grasped her hand that held the shaving cream. After reading the label, he asked, “Have you ever shaved a man before?”

“You’re the first.”

Delight lit up his face. “And is this what you meant by taking care of me? You intend to shave my face?”

“For starters. There’s so much more to come.”

This time, unlike the last, her vague reference to their future clouded his expression, reality and reason replacing the magic she strove to create. Refusing to acknowledge what tonight would bring, she spoke breezily. “Lean back and relax.” Edging closer, her lips so very close to his, she added, “I don’t want to hurt you.”

Again, something within him shifted. This time it returned his amusement. “Whatever you do, I promise I won’t scream…at least not too loudly.”

“You are a brave man.” She pecked his lips, placed the shaver on a counter to the side and shook the can. Once she had a mound of the lather in her palm, she brought it to his face, then halted suddenly, not touching him.

Nikoli studied the foam, his manner growing cautious. “What’s wrong? Is it going to burn?”

She had no idea. “Have you ever used this stuff before to shave? Have you ever been exposed to anything like this?” Did his people use it to torment the malcontents on his side?

Nikoli shook his head. “On E2, the men use a device that vaporizes their beards and the upper layers of what you call skin.”

Regina made a face. “Oh my God, are you kidding? Doesn’t that hurt? Doesn’t that—are you laughing at me?”

“You make it too easy.” His shoulders trembled with suppressed laughter.

Dropping the can, she slapped his shoulder.

Nikoli’s smile remained. “Is that also foreplay?”

“You wish. So how do you get rid of your beard on E2?”

“With a device that pulls out the hairs one by one.”

Regina arched a brow, guessing he was putting her on.

With a sigh, he slumped against the back of the tub. “Very well, it pulls them out all at once. The pain is more intense that way, but it doesn’t last as—”

She smacked his shoulder again.

He laughed loudly this time, tears streaming from the corners of his eyes. “Forgive me,” he sputtered.

She enjoyed seeing him like this, but pretended to be annoyed. “Maybe.” With a bit of the lather on her fingertip, she said, “If this hurts at all, tell me.”

His laughter drifted away, replaced by a tranquil smile. “It won’t. The men on my side shave as yours do, Regina. The only difference is, the foam we use doesn’t have an odor.”

Hers had a faint lime scent. “Does this smell bad to you?”

“Not at all. It reminds me of the bacon.”

Sure. Ignoring his renewed laughter, she warned, “If you don’t want to be hurt, then keep quiet and still.”

Reaching out, he ran his damp fingers around her nipple, causing the areola to constrict. Regina’s limbs went weak. Nikoli murmured, “Are you certain you want that?”
