Soft Serve Sweetie (Plus Size Romance 2) Read Online Free Page A

walking across the ceramic-tile floor.  His breath caught in his throat as she lowered the volume of the music.  He thought he was mentally prepared to see her, but nothing could have readied him for what he saw as the kitchen door swung open.  Cherry was standing there, smiling like an angel.  Only he didn’t think angels wore pink, satin teddies with polka dots, nude panty hose and black, open-toed, patent-leather pumps.
    Batting her lashes, she said, “Welcome home.”
    He let out a low wolf-whistle.  “God Almighty, you’re gorgeous.”
    He devoured her with his eyes while she blushed all over.  He was glad to see his compliment was having the desired effect.
    “Are you hungry?” she asked softly.
    He quickly closed the space between them.  Placing one hand at the curve of her waist, he planted the other one in her silky, blond hair.  Lowering his head, he breathed against her mouth, “I’m starving.”  Lightly teasing her lips with his, he pulled her closer against his chest. 
    He was six-foot-one, and she was just an inch shorter than him in those heels.  The closeness in height caused a delicious alignment of their intimate body parts.
    A little gasp escaped her slightly-parted lips and fluttered over his neck.  Taking full advantage, he kissed her deeply.  His hard body pressed her firmly against the doorframe.  His hand sensuously slipped beneath the sheer bodice of the teddy to caress her bare skin.
    “Zane,” she sighed, digging her fingernails into his shoulders.
    Her sweet, soft voice sent a bolt of searing sensation throughout his entire body. 
    “Oh, Cherry,” he groaned, pulling back enough to rest his forehead on hers.  “I want you so badly.  I want to fuck you until you can’t walk.  To hear you moan my name while I thrust deep inside you.  To lick that sweet little clit of yours until you scream, pull my hair and come all over my face.”
    She panted against his mouth.  “I want that, too.  Can we please go to your bedroom now?”
    He took a step back.  Her question had felt like having a bucket of ice water dumped on his head.  What the hell was wrong with him? He couldn’t take her innocence this way, having only known her less than a day.  Zane wasn’t the kind of man who lost control like this.  The deal was three dates, then deflowering.  And, by God, if it killed him, he was going to follow the plan.  Cherry was too important to him to do otherwise.  He didn’t want to screw this up.  He was hoping to win her heart before taking her to bed.  A dark turbulence of conflict filled his eyes as he answered her.
    “No, sweetheart.  I’m sorry; we can’t.  I’m going to take a shower.  You should change into something a little less revealing before we eat.”
    It took all the strength and will power he could muster to walk away from her, but it had to be done.
     
    CHERRY WAS SO FRUSTRATED and angry, she could have spit on his living room carpet and then ground it into the plush fibers with her sexy stilettos.  It was a good thing she was a lady or else she would have done just that.  Granted, she had precious little experience with men and none with older men. But, shit-a-mighty, she couldn’t have possibly misread his desire.  She saw the outline of his perfectly sculpted sex against his pants.  Felt his rock-hard erection nudge her mound, making her weak-kneed. Even if his body hadn’t given him away, he had flat-out said he wanted to fuck her.
    All of this was her fault for coming on too strong.  Admittedly, the teddy and high heels was a bit much for their first dinner together.  But she couldn’t help herself.  She had wanted to wear it for her first time. And despite the fact that he had told her he wanted to go on a few dates first, she was certain she could tempt him into action.
    She had purchased the lingerie two months ago when she decided to give herself to Pete.  She didn’t even like the guy, but he was convenient.  He would
