Intimate Knowledge Part 5 (Detective & Desires)

Intimate Knowledge Part 5

Leo Gold is no stranger to women. He has a history of satisfying love affairs that end well. He never engages deeply. No woman has ever got under his skin. He has never experienced raw, obsessive passion. Never felt an inescapable, driving need to possess.

Until he needs to possess Raisa Gordon.

Vice-cop Raisa Gordon has worked hard to erect effective barriers to emotion. She has spent years carefully constructing her persona as €˜The Queen of Disconnect". She never allows herself to connect with the men she hooks up with and certainly never with her criminal targets.

Until her target is Leo Gold.

I focus on following his lead, reveling in the strict dance stance he molds me into as he adds variation after variation to our movements. I forget his anger and my fear in the eroticism of the dance. His commanding technique supports me and I move as gracefully as he does. The crowds melt away and it feels like we have entered an undulating place of our own. I am slipping back into that world of his making that I first encountered in his arms this afternoon.

He guides us through three, maybe four dances, never breaking his hold on me throughout the lulls between the music. Finally, he brings our movements to an end. Holding our stance with his arm wrapped around my waist, he releases the hand at my hip and moves it up to my nape easing his fingers under my damp hair. Certain that my pulse and heartbeat are pounding, I listen to his heartbeat racing against my forehead as I rest it against his chest. It has to be from emotion. The moves of the dance were intricate, but slow.

He surprises me by dropping his lips to softly kiss my hair. I begin to hope that the sizzling intensity of the dance has dissipated his anger. Until his hand moves smoothly from my nape to my neck, his long fingers encircling it to encompass the sides of my slender throat, and I know his rage is intact.

Squeezing ever so slightly, his thumbs force my head up to face him. In slow motion fear, I feel him take his arm from around my waist to push my hair aside from my ear, the fingers of both his hands now meeting around my throat to press just a little harder. I hold my breath, my gut clenching as I await the inevitable words. He sweeps his wet tongue in and around my outer and inner ear. I shudder, my pelvis clenching and my pussy weeping at the eroticism of it all, despite, or perhaps because of my building fear. Unhurriedly, his Italian accent uppermost, he utters the words with a silken, sinister whisper.

€œWhat part of €˜you are mine, now€ did you fail to understand, cara mia?€
