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
