“In the real world, I’m confident and capable, and I don’t like being told what to do. I know you all think I’m bossy, and I don’t mind that. But in bed… I like to give up control. Does that make sense?”
“Yeah.” My heart is pounding, and my voice is husky with desire. I want to touch her, but I’m not going to do it without her permission.
“I don’t intimidate you?” she asks.
That makes me laugh. “I’m six-foot-four. I’m not easily intimidated.”
“I just want to be…” She sighs.
“Worshiped?” I ask.
Her lips curve up. “Maybe a tiny bit.”
“You should be.”
“I want to be wanted. To be desired. Just once, for it to be about me.”
“It should always be about you.”
She blinks. “You said ‘If you were my girl, I’d treat you like a queen.’ Did you mean it?”
“One hundred percent.” I move a little closer to her, still not touching.
Her gaze drops to my mouth. “I can’t imagine what that would be like…”
We’re both breathing fast. Oh Jesus, this girl… I’ve never wanted anything as badly as I want her right now. I put my arm on the back of the sofa so it’s almost—but not quite—around her. The air between us is almost sparking with electricity.
She swallows, and then her eyes meet mine again. “I love the way you look at me,” she whispers.
“How am I looking at you?”
“As if you want me.”
“I do want you.”
“As if you need me.”
“More than I need air to breathe.”
“Henry,” she says, exhaling, and my name in her mouth is a soft caress that sends the hairs rising all over my body. “Would you… would you kiss me?”
I give a triumphant, short laugh. “I thought you’d never ask.”
Sliding my arms around her, I lean back, pulling her on top of me, but twist at the last moment, and now she’s half under me, pinned against the back of the sofa. She squeals, then laughs and looks up at me with eyes ablaze with desire.
Without further ado, I crush my lips to hers.
She moans against my mouth, her lips parting, and I slide my tongue against hers in a kiss that sends fire shooting through my veins. She wraps her arms around me, and I feel her fingers slip beneath my top and fan out on my back, eager to touch my skin, and I get an instant erection.
Whoa… steady, tiger. I have no doubt that she wouldn’t complain if I thrust us both to a climax in minutes, but that’s not what I want, and it’s not what she needs. I don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow, but I need to make the most of her while I have her right here, right now.
I lift my head and look down into her big brown eyes. When she tries to kiss me, I move back a little, out of her reach.
Her smile fades. “Are you having second thoughts?”
I laugh at how preposterous that statement is. “No. But we’re not going to rush this.”
She blinks a few times. “What do you mean?”
