Chapter 7 : Lily - Rules of the Game
 

 Lily knocked lightly on the door.  “Come in, it’s open,” came the
voice from inside.

 She walked inside, feeling a tremble in her knees.  There was
movement behind the bar on the far side of the room; when she looked
over, AJ appeared, holding a bottle of wine.  “Something to drink?”  he
offered.

 She nodded, sudddenly wishing she’d gotten drunk with Alex.  She
usually wasn’t the bravest person in the world ... now that she’d gotten this
far, she was scared half to death.  She’d need a little alcohol in her system
to get through this night.

 Rather than walk around it, AJ hopped over the bar and started
towards her.  She watched him as he walked ... he’d lost the suit jacket, and
his silk shirt was now unbuttoned with the sleeves rolled up, revealing a
smooth, muscular chest and arms liberally decorated with tattoos.  Lily felt
a shudder run up her spine.  He, and the very idea of what he might be about
to do, frightened her more than she ever thought possible.  She’d never felt
more excited in her life.

 He handed her an empty glass.  When she held it out, he lifted the
wine bottle and poured, from high above ... predictably, some of the wine
splashed out onto Lily’s hand and arm.  “Oh, whoops ...”  AJ said, a grin
belying the ‘accident.’

 Slowly, he bent over, lowering his lips to her skin.  Lily watched in
fascination as she felt his tongue burn against her skin, lapping up the sticky
sweetness left behind by the wine.  When her arm was clean, he stood back
up and winked at her, then turned away to pour himself a glass of wine.

 Lily took the opportunity to sit down gracefully on the couch behind
her, before her knees gave out.   A moment later, AJ joined her, sitting close
enough that their legs pressed together.  He watched her silently as she
tilted her head back and emptied the wine, then took the glass out of her
hand and placed it on the table in front of them.  He touched her cheek,
tracing her jawbone with one finger.  “This is your last chance to back out,
leave,” he whispered.  “Right now, you’re free to go.  If you stay, you’re
here until I tell you that you can leave.  Those are the rules ... understand?”

 She met his eyes.  She should leave ... she was scared half to death.
However, the trembling between her legs had nothing to do with fear.  She
closed her eyes for a split second, then opened them again, staring back into
his dark, intense gaze.  “I understand,” she said.

 When she made no move to get up, a smile slowly spread across
AJ’s face.  “All right, then ... let’s see ...”  He sat back in the couch and
patted his lap.  “Come here, let me figure out what to do with you ...”

 Lily knelt up on the cushion and straddled his legs, sitting back on
his knees.  Her short skirt rode up, revealing the tops of her thigh-high
nylons and her red silk panties.  AJ reached down and caressed the small
area of skin exposed between nylon and silk.  “You certainly are dressed as
if you expected someone to unwrap you tonight,” he mused.  “I’m not
taking you away from anyone, am I?”

 “No ...”

 “Good.  I wouldn’t have cared anyway.”  He tugged on the front of
her dress.  “Come here, kiss me.”

 She leaned forward and pressed her lips to his.  He put his hand
behind her head and yanked the clip from her hair, letting it fall all around
her shoulders. A moment later, his tongue forced her mouth open.
Suddenly, she found herself sliding forward ... his arms were behind her
back, and her knees squeezed around his hips for leverage.  The kiss was a
power struggle ... one he was winning.  Every time she tried to slow it
down, to regain some of her breath, he devoured her again.  Finally, he
broke away, leaving her gasping for air.  “Mmm, you’re all hot already.  I
can even feel it through all the clothes,” he said, chuckling.  Lily realized
that her crotch was pressed firmly against his, and that, thanks to the
growing hardness she felt against her, her panties were well on their way to
being soaked.  She blushed.

 AJ laughed a bit louder when he saw her expression.  “Oh, baby,
you just wait ...”

 His hands were still on her back ... Lily felt the zipper of her dress
lowering from her shoulder blades to her ass.  “Lift up your arms, let’s get
rid of this,” he told her.  She obliged, and he tossed her dress to the side.

 She was left wearing her red silk bra, matching panties, her
necklace, and her nylons.  AJ looked her up and down, playing absently
with the medallion that lay between her breasts.  “Now, when I get you in
there,” he jerked his head towards the bedroom, “I want to play with you for
a long time.  But, the way I am right now ...”  He pushed his hips upward
ever so slightly, pressing his erection harder against her.  “I don’t think I’d
last very long.  So ... I think we’ve got to do something about that.”

 He laid the necklace back onto her skin and pressed light kisses to
her neck.  Lily closed her eyes and sighed at the sensation, letting her head
roll back.

 Just as she was letting herself float away, though, he stopped.  She
opened her eyes and looked at him.  “Get down on your knees,” he growled.

 “What?”

 AJ put his hands back behind his head and grinned at her, looking
through half-closed eyes.  “On your knees.  I want you to blow me.”
