Max reached into his front pocket and pulled out the anklet she'd had on earlier in the evening. Toni eyed the object with surprise. "I took it from the car." He answered her unspoken question and shook the accessory in the air. The light chime of bells echoed in the silent bar. "Wear these for me." Her heartbeat out a rapid pulse and excitement tingled inside her. "Mind if I ask why?" she asked, curiously aroused by the suggestion. "I want to hear bells when I come inside you," he said and his blue eyes flared with heat. "And every time you hear the ringing of chimes, I want you to think of me." She never broke eye contact as she raised her leg and perched it on the edge of the table. With a nod of approval, he turned to his task, taking his time, unrolling the stocking down, inch by tantalizing inch. When he finished one, she propped her other leg so he could peel off another of her few remaining layers. Then he snapped the anklet closed. "Perfect," he said, taking in her wanton pose. With her legs spread wide, Toni ought to be embarrassed, but all she felt was a keen sense of carnal anticipation. "Well you've got me where you want me." She shifted her leg, shaking her foot so he could hear the light tinkling of bells. To her surprise, the sound turned from light and playful to highly erotic, charging the already electric atmosphere even further. "So what do you plan to do with me?" With her help, he eased the last remaining undergarment off her legs, letting her panties fall to the floor. "I already told you. I'm going to make love to you." © Carly Phillips
