Jake wanted so badly to take her into his arms, to reassure her with whispers and soothing strokes of his hands.

His soothing strokes lengthened and wandered higher on her thigh and the question flitted through her mind.

She wrapped his jess around her hand and gave him a soothing stroke.

Bending forward, she hugged him, sliding her hands along his back in soothing strokes.

Upon his fevered forehead he felt the soothing strokes of her cool, soft hand.

Expect long, gentle, soothing strokes and general relaxation.

"Not entirely out of order," she repeated, her fingers moving in long, soothing strokes.

He caressed her shoulder in soothing strokes.

They shivered all their length, anticipating gentle touches, the soothing strokes, the exhilarating yet calming scent.

He felt a soothing stroke down his shoulder, and he brought Beth's hand to his mouth, kissing the skin of her palm.
