Another Man's Treasure (20 page)

“My
naughty
little
vixen
wants
to
play.
Sit
right
there
and
leave
that
blindfold
in place.”

Miranda
smiled
and
nodded.
He
grabbed
one
dozen of the roses
and

walked
into
his
bedroom.
  It felt
like
forever
had
passed
when
he
came
back
into
the kitchen.
Jude
had
undressed
and
was
wearing
only
a
tight
pair
of
black boxer briefs.
He
kissed
her
gently,
running
his
tongue
over
her
lips.
Then he
picked
her up,
threw
her
over
his
shoulder,
and
smacked
her
bare
ass.
Miranda
squealed
in delight
and
dug
her
fingernails
in
inand
his
back.

“Oh
my,
Miranda. You
are
quite
a
woman.
Full
of
temptation
and
surprises.
I
have a
couple
of
surprises
for
you
too,
baby.”

“Do
I
get
to
see
or
just
feel
my
way
around
this
magnificent
body
of
yours?”

“Hmmm.  Maybe
a
little
of
both.
 
First,
I
will
let
you
see
the sipan>
surprise
I
had
planned for
you.
Then
you
will
have
to
feel
your
way
through
the
rest.”

When they reached the bedroom, Jude
slid
Miranda
down
the
length
of
his
body
until
her
feet
reached
the
floor.
He grabbed
her
face
and
kissed
her
hard.
Miranda
held
fast
to
his
shoulders
and returned
the
fervent
kiss.
He
turned
her
around
to face
away
from
him
and
slowly slipped
the
blindfold
above
her
eyes.

Miranda
gasped
at
the
sight.
The only
light
was
from
dozens
of
candles
around
the
room.
The
bed
was
spread
with rose
petals
and
champagne
glasses
were
set
on
the
nightstand.

“I
had
planned
this
romantic
interlude
for
us,
Miranda.
I
was
going
to
come
home and
set
this
up
while
you
were
cooking
dinner.
I
wanted
to
sweep
you
off
your
feet and
bring
you
in
here,
undress
you
slowly
and
make
love
to
you.
I
come
home
and find
you
naked
and
blindfolded.
You
are
so
full
of
surprises,
Miranda.
I
never
know what
is
goi sin>
on
in
that
head
of
yours.”

Jude
stepped
in
front
of
Miranda
and
wiped
the
tears
from
her
eyes
as he
kissed
her tenderly.

“Don’t
cry,
baby.
I
hate
it
when
you
cry.
I
love
you
so
much,
Miranda.”

“I
love
you
so
much,
Jude,
it’s
hard
for
me
to
put
it
spto<
font>
into
words.
Promise
me something,
Jude. Just
this
one
thing.”

“Anything
baby,
you
name
it.”

“Don’t
leave
me,
no
matter
what
happens.
Don’t
ever
say
goodbye,
Jude. I
need you
and
love
you
with
all
my
heart.
I
always
have.”

Jude
put
his
hands
on
her
face
and
tilted
her
head
so
they
were
eye
to
eye.
One
single
tear
tried
to
escape
his
left
eye.
He
blinked
several
times
and
closed them.
He
took
a
deep
breath
, and then
opened
his
eyes.
