His Naughty Lessons
Chapter 74: Everything Off

Chapter 74: Everything Off

** Harper **

Harper realized that apparently, she still had too much to learn in the art of seduction. Because as soon as Eli started playing along and taking control, every word he uttered was turning her insides into a syrupy jelly. It was almost unfair, how easy it was for him to get her heart fluttering and racing like a bird caught in a whirlwind.

And she couldn’t believe what was happening — she had thought that it was audacious enough of her to ask him to stay and get naked in her shower. She would never, ever, think of suggesting that the two of them take a shower together, let alone starting it by taking each other’s clothes off ...

But oh how she loved the idea.

Harper bit her lips. She hoped that he hadn’t noticed this subconscious habit of hers yet, a sign she was equally nervous and excited. Schooling her expression into what she hoped was a casual neutral, she said, "Well, given that I’ve already gotten my sneak peak," — she gestured at his bare chest — "it seems only fair to let you start first ..."

She didn’t go into the details of that "sneak peak", but she could tell from the looming smirk on Eli’s face that he already knew she loved the view. How could she not? His body was like a piece of fine art, glistening with the moisture of lingering rain under the warm light. With the last layer of fabric stripped away, she could see all the tight planes of his chest and abs, all the details of those toned muscles. Her eyes swept down his broad shoulders, following how they tapered down into a lean waist, before the view disappeared into his suit trousers—

Then she caught herself staring at the fly of his trousers.

Crap. What the heck was she doing? She didn’t mean to ogle him there! Hastily, she snapped her eyes back up, but it was already too late. Eli was looking at her with an amused expression, his gaze dark.

"I’m not sure if I’ll be the one going first either way," he commented. "You seem perfectly capable of undressing me with your eyes."

"..."

A mix of embarrassment and guilty pleasure made her tongue-tied. Fortunately, Eli didn’t just stand there and watch her blush. With a half wicked grin, he reached up, brushing her hair aside from her shoulders. It took him no time at all to find the zippers of her dress at her back, and he undid it with one smooth pull.

"You look gorgeous in this dress, Harper. I got interrupted before I got a chance to tell you." His eyes were locked onto her as he slid the garment off. "But then again, you look gorgeous in anything. Or nothing at all."

... Darn, she should’ve requested these lessons on flirty talks sooner. As much as she might blush from them, she wanted to frame them in bold print and hang them all over her bedroom.

Harper stared greedily at the man in front of her, hoping to hear more. And that was when she noticed he had raised an eyebrow. Puzzled, she followed his gaze and saw that he was looking at the strapless bra revealed under her dress.

"... You don’t like this one?" she asked. It was a white lacey style, and she thought he’d be into it given how he reacted to what she wore last week.

The corner of his lips curved up some more at her question. "No, I was hoping that you weren’t wearing any." He folded the dress, placed it on top of his shirt on the counter, and unclipped the bra with a flip of his hand. "There, a much better view."

Oh.

Cool air hit her skin, and her nipples hardened from the slight chill as the bra fell to the floor. Or was it from the way he looked at her, his gaze hard and his jaw set? Maybe it was actually the latter ... because the rest of her body was starting to follow suit with tiny tingles, eagerly waiting for his next move, his teasing touches and caress.

But he didn’t move. He simply kneed down, resting his hands on her hips. "Before you get impatient — since I know you will soon — I need to tell you that I’m trying to keep my hands off of you right now, so don’t say anything to tempt me." His voice was growing dangerous. "If I start touching you or kissing you right here, we’ll never get to actually go in the shower tonight. I assume that would not be the result you prefer."

The words made Harper’s body melt into liquid heat, and a yearning pulsed within her as his fingers grazed the fabric of her panty.

She felt high, hearing him talk to her like this and seeing him look at her like he had eyes for nothing else in the entire world. Did he truly find her irresistible in some way? Did he truly think she was beautiful? Harper wasn’t dissatisfied with her body, but she knew Eli’s preferences had been different in the past, and she could never be sure if he’d genuinely find her type attractive. But now, seeing how the mere sight of her affected him ... she thought she might be getting a hint of the answer.

She bit her lips again as he pulled the last piece of garment down her legs. Oh God, she wished she could record that look in his eyes when he studied her naked body head to toe. His gaze was a dark fire as it grazed down her neck, her breasts, her stomach, before dropping to the place where heat was pooling between her thighs. He swallowed.

Harper could never imagine another expression that would look sexier on a man’s face, and it turned her on like nothing else.

"Well, then why don’t we try to get into that shower sooner rather than later?" She was all game now, eager to race to the real deal. "Shall I do you the favor next?"

She wasted no time and pulled him up to his feet, not bothering to wait for a reply. With a wide and contented smile, she got down to one knee herself and unbuttoned his trousers.

Wait.

Holy shit.

She should’ve prepared herself for that huge bulge waiting to greet her.

He was wearing black boxer briefs, the same ones like last time. The stretchy material was snug against his crotch, which prevented ... a certain body part from springing into her face as soon as it was freed from his trousers. But still, the bulge it made under the fabric was all too obvious, all too large, that she couldn’t stop herself from staring.

Staring, for the second time. She was such a hopeless idiot.

"Staring is more rewarding after everything is off." Eli’s amused voice sounded from above her head. When she looked up at him, he nodded at the bra and panty he had discarded earlier, giving her a suggestive wink. "Just speaking from personal experience."

That made her laugh. Fully in agreement, she hooked her fingers over his waistband and pulled the boxers all the way down.
