Chapter 5: Stainless

Arlo kissed slowly, with all of his attention.

He took my face in both hands, with the locked door at my back.

He lowered his mouth to mine and took his time.

His lips were dry and soft.

His tongue touched mine, and I heard myself make a small broken sound.

"Dessa," he said against my mouth.

"I have wanted to do this since Friday night."

"In the kitchen?" I said.

"When you sat on him," Arlo said.

"I looked at your feet because I could not look at the rest."

I pulled his shirt out of his jeans and slid my hands up under it.

His stomach was flat and hard, and the skin there was warm and covered in a fine line of black hair.

He shivered all over.

"Take it off," I said.

He undid the buttons one at a time, with fingers that were not quite steady, and shrugged the gray shirt off his shoulders.

He was lean and brown, with a long white scar across one forearm and a little silver on his chest.

I put my mouth on his collarbone, and he let his head fall back.

"Mi vida," he said softly.

"Slowly. Please."

"No," I said, and smiled up at him.

"But you can."

He laughed under his breath, a sound I had never heard from him, and lifted me onto the steel table.

It was cold through my leggings.

I gasped, and he put his hand flat on my stomach until I stopped.

"There," he said.

"I will make it warm."

He stripped me with the same patience he had used on my foot.

He peeled the leggings down over my hips and off, and he laid my sweatshirt aside.

When I was bare, he stood and just looked.

"Qué linda," he said.

"I did not know it was possible to want something so much and be so afraid to touch it."

"Touch it," I said.

He did.

He laid me back on the table, and the lamp burned white over my head.

His hand slid slowly up the inside of my thigh.

He cupped me, the whole warm heel of his palm, and held still.

Then two fingers slid inside me, slowly and gently, and curled.

I arched off the steel.

"Arlo," I said.

"Yes," he said softly.

"Here?"

His fingertips pressed a spot deep inside me that made the whole world narrow down to it.

I cried out and my hips jerked.

"Here," he said, answering himself.

"Good."

He kept the pressure there, steady and sure, and moved his thumb across my clit in the same rhythm.

He did not hurry and he did not miss.

I had never been touched so exactly in my life.

"God," I said.

"You know what you're doing."

"I have spent twenty years learning bodies," he said, and his mouth curved.

"Yours is the first that ever thanked me."

He lowered his head.

He put his mouth on me where his thumb had been.

He licked me with his tongue flat and warm while his fingers kept their slow rhythm inside.

I put my hands in his hair and pulled.

I came fast and hard against his mouth, with a shout that bounced off the metal walls.

He did not stop.

He slowed, and gentled, and let me come down a little, and then he brought me up again.

"Arlo, I can't," I said.

"Yes, you can," he said against me, in a low rough voice.
