room, confirming her worst fear. Everyone in the whole house was watching them.

She moved closer to Rome and whispered, “Why are you doing this?” She asked

even though she knew the answer. Rome was out to prove something. When he was

on a mission, Rome took no prisoners.

“Why aren"t you?” he shot back. His eyes glittered dangerously, shining with

barely leashed emotion. “It"s just a game. And we"re both single adults.”

Rome whispered the last two sentences so softly that if Sela hadn"t been

looking at his face, she would have assumed the game meant nothing to him.

But the fire in Rome"s eyes told Sela the game was not a game to him.

Her gaze drifted to the closet behind him.

Lord help me
! “Seven minutes?”

“Yes,” he rasped out. She caught his gaze at the deeply seductive tone of his

voice.

Seven minutes was a lot of time to spend alone in a closet with a man who set

her thong on fire with a simple glance. Sela tried not to think of the last time she"d

spent seven minutes in a closet with Rome.

She failed miserably. She looked around the room one last time before turning

back to him. “Okay, I"m willing to play seven minutes in heaven.”

Chapter Four

She had no idea what she was getting herself into. Whether thirty seconds or

seven minutes, Rome fully intended to use the location—dark closet—to the best of

his advantage.

When Rosalinda volunteered him and Sela to play seven minutes in heaven,

Rome almost kissed the bold beauty in thanks. Then he took a look at Sela"s face. It

was then that he understood just how desperate his situation was and just how

difficult it was going to be to win Sela Newton back.

The moment the closet door shut behind them, Rome knew he"d made the right

decision coming to their reunion and by extension this party. He remembered the

last time they"d played this game. It hadn"t ended well. He was determined to make

sure the outcome was very different this time around. Rome was older and wiser. A

smirk curved his full lips. At least he thought he was older and wiser.

He got a glimpse of the closet before Rosalinda slammed the door behind him

and Sela. It was a small coat closet with just enough room for two full-grown bodies.

A single luminescent bulb glowed, illuminating the tiny enclave. Its effectiveness

was partially hindered by the two rows of coats that lined the left and right walls.

“Son of a…”

He lifted his head at the sound of Sela"s throaty feminine voice cursing

harshly. His gaze fastened on the lush form of Sela"s body as she tried to fight with

a clingy coat. It took him a moment to realize she was tangled up in the jacket. He

was too mesmerized by the sight of her curves jiggling enticingly. She had the most

beautiful breasts and hips. Suddenly, it occurred to Rome he was drooling like a

lovesick fool. He lifted his hand and pulled aside the wayward fabric.

She lifted her head and gave him a slow, shy smile. “Thank you.”

“You"re welcome,” he said as he took two steps closer to her. The room was so

small the two steps brought him close to her. She dropped her gaze and chewed her

lip for a moment. He watched her bountiful breasts rise as she took in a deep

breath. Then she lifted her gaze and looked him square in the eye.

Stormy desire and blatant disregard for the carnal danger she had placed

herself in sparkled in Sela eyes. She wanted him. Even if she wasn"t willing to

admit it to herself, Rome knew the truth of her emotions as they shone in

everything she did.

More than curiosity had pressed Sela to ask him about his relationship status.

More than curiosity had forced her to accept his challenge and enter the closet

with him.

He couldn"t help wondering if Sela had any idea what she had really done by

giving in to his dare, because Rome had no desire to end the game once time was

called. For ten years he"d dreamed of having her, and now that she was standing

before him, within arms reached, Rome planned to drink his fill of her.

“I have to say, I"m glad you agreed to play.”

Her smile faltered for a fraction of a second. He realized then she was just as

nervous as he was. Maybe more.

Sela looked troubled for a moment, reminding him all too well of a frightened

doe. Her eyes were large and glittered in the golden light. He fully expected her to

turn tail and run, but as always, Sela shocked him. “Have you been dreaming of this

moment?” she retorted saucily.

Rome moved closer to Sela until he stood a mere inch away from her luscious

body. He was so close he could feel the waves of her body heat. She looked him up

and down, warm eyes taking in everything. It didn"t escape his notice that her gaze

stayed a little longer between his thighs. Something hot and spicy moved through

him at her actions. He knew Sela had seen her effect on him.

He was hard as ice, but a thousand degrees hotter. Rome stared into her

heavenly eyes for several moments, giving himself a moment to relish the feel of

almost unquenchable desire flowing inside him. He was holding it back, but as he

stood looking down at Sela, he savored the hunger.

“So…are you going to kiss me or wait out the seven minutes?” She cocked one

hip, a bold, flirtatious smile on her lovely lips.

He smiled. There was the Sela he remembered. Dark-chocolate-covered molten

fire. She burned even as she gave up her sweetness. Rome had been wondering

when Sela was going to let her true self run free around him.

He lowered his head until his lips were almost upon hers. “No,” he breathed

against her mouth, spacing out the word until it seemed to hang between them. “I

plan on doing a lot more than kissing,” he growled before capturing her lips.

Sela gasped in surprise at his actions. Rome took the opportunity to thrust his

tongue past her parted lips and taste the sweetness of her mouth. Just as he

remembered, she was sugary, spicy, and highly addictive.

He"d never tasted anything better.

Rome tightened his grip on her waist, digging his fingers into her lushly

padded curves as he deepened the kiss. Sela wrapped her arms around his waist

and pulled him closer. Sharp bliss lashed at Rome at the feel of Sela"s bountiful

breasts against his chest. He slanted his mouth over hers and deepened the kiss.

She groaned into his mouth, shredding off little pieces of the leash he had on his

self-control.

He wanted to take things slow. Seduce her mentally and physically until his

imprint was burned on her.

Her mind.

Her body.

And soul.

He never wanted Sela to question who she belonged to.

But her devastating taste and the years they had spent apart were making it

difficult.

“God, I missed you,” he admitted, his voice husky with the burning need

churning inside him as he delved his tongue back into her mouth. Sela reached up

and threaded her small fingers through his hair. Her nails scraped along his scalp

as she kissed back. The sharp sting of her touch fueled a deep passion inside him.

Rome"s hands roamed down her back, dancing along the ridges of her spine and

teasing the curve of her lower back before mapping the hills of her plump ass.

She groaned into his mouth when his fingers tightened on her bottom. Rome

smiled slightly, pleased to know she was affected by his touch. He could make her

want him as he much as he desired her. Rome could make Sela feel the same kind of

burn.

He slipped his hands under her skirt and ran his naked palm over one firm

cheek.

His cock twitched and pulsed when he found that Sela wore a tiny slip of

fabric, a thong, to guard her most precious secrets. The panties proved to be little to

no barrier to his determined hands. Rome slid his hands between their gyrating

bodies and cupped her sex. She gasped and shuddered against him at the touch.

Sela nipped his bottom lip before spreading her thighs just enough to give him

greater access to her sheath. He broke off their kiss and dropped to his knees. He

lifted his gaze and found her staring down at him in surprise. She parted her lips.

He leaned forward and raised her skirt before she could say the words on her

tongue.

Rome knew what Sela was going to say. They shouldn"t be doing this. They

needed to stop.

Kissing is one thing.

Oral sex is another.

But stopping was the last thing he wanted to do.

Rome had waited too long, yearned too much not to take the moment when it

appeared in front of him. He grabbed her hips and pulled her closer to him. He felt a

shiver go through her even as she answered his silent call and stepped forward to

keep from falling. “Rome…”

Rome swiped his tongue down Sela"s right thigh, cutting off whatever words

she might have said. The end of his name came out a soft moan as his lips moved

down her soft skin.

She tasted like heaven.

He couldn"t wait to put his mouth on her most sensitive flesh.

Rome"s fingers curled around the tiny straps of her panties and pulled them

down her thighs. She stepped out of them and braced her arms against the walls of

the small closet. Rome was suddenly grateful for the tiny enclosure.

He widened the area between Sela"s thighs until he could fit an arm between

her legs. Rome wrapped his hands around her right leg and hooked it over his

shoulder. For a moment Rome simply stared at her sheath. Her pussy was

beautiful. Rich chocolate with a slight sheen of cream on her nether lips.

He ran his tongue down the puffy lips of her sex and received a moan that

seemed to come from the depths of Sela"s chest. He parted the lips of her pussy and

licked her from clit to slit. Her creamy desire was thick and utterly addictive. He

licked her again just to get another taste.

Wicked need coursed through him at the small taste. It was so strong, it

caught him off guard and left him aching. His cock pulsed in the tight confines of

his slacks, desperate for sexual relief.

Rome wanted to come so badly it hurt.

Rome wanted to slide deep inside Sela and feel her cunt tighten around him as

they both found their release.

Most of all he wanted to hear her scream his name.

“Damn, you taste so good,” he groaned before fastening his mouth to her clit.

Her shriek of pleasure and surprise seemed to echo through the small closet. Sela"s

fingers threaded through the wavy strands of Rome"s dark hair as she pulled him

harder against her.

“God, yes. Right there,” she moaned as she rocked her hips forward. She

shuddered, sighed his name, and clung to the many coats that lined the wall.

He flicked his tongue against the swollen head of her clitoris, eliciting a sharp

cry of satisfaction from Sela. “Fuck. Again,” she whispered harshly as she dug her

fingers deeper into his scalp.

Rome opened his eyes and lifted his gaze to watch Sela"s face as he licked her

sheath. Sensual sounds came from her, telling him without words when to go slow,

when to quicken his pace, and when to lick her softly and when to give it to her

hard.

“Oh God. I"m coming. Oh Lord, don"t stop. I"m coming.”

He licked her once, twice, from clit to slit, and stabbed his tongue deep

between her nether lips before slowly standing to his feet.

Sela blinked up at him, shocked. Then her face hardened into a glare. He could

see her beautiful mind coming up with words to tell him off. He didn"t give her a

chance to tear into him. Before she could get her statement out, he stepped forward

and kissed her hard. His tongue thrust past her parted lips to coax hers into a

sensual dance as he lifted her panties and lowered her skirt.

Rome felt his belly muscles clench with need when Sela kissed him back

automatically. As her tongue surged into his mouth, Rome felt his cock jerk against

the zipper seam of his slacks. He"d never been more turned on.

He"d never experienced anything as decadent as the taste of Sela"s lips

tangling with the flavor of her sex.

He reached out and curled one hand around her shoulder. She curved into his

arms and deepened the kiss. Sela reached up and wrapped her arms around his

neck just as a knock sounded on the closet door. She started to pull away from him

when he tightened his grip.

He kissed her hard and quickly on the mouth before looking her in the eye. “If

you want that orgasm, you"re going to have to come to me, Sela. I"m at the
