The tension in his stomach started to ease as she relaxed slightly.
“Then you’ll have to behave.”
“That sounds boring.” She grinned up at him.
He leaned in and brushed his lips over her cheek. Then he cupped the side of her face, kissing her. “You taste so damn good.”
“Tanner,” she groaned.
“We don’t have to do anything. We can just lay here and cuddle.”
“I . . . that sounds nice. But I don’t think I want to just cuddle. I want this. I want you. I just want a bit of happiness while I can grab it. That’s not a bad thing, right?”
“Baby, you’re worrying me now. What’s wrong?”
She gave him a sad smile. “Nothing you can help with.”
“Lilac,” he said in a low, warning voice. “If there’s something wrong, you need to tell me. Now.”
She ran a finger over his face. “I like how protective you are. But you can’t help me. Save that for someone who deserves your protection.”
“Oh, you’re really asking for a spanking now.”
“How about you kiss me instead?” She threaded her fingers through his hair and dragged his mouth down to hers.
Okay, she didn’t have to drag him. He wanted to kiss her. Fucking needed to taste her again. A groan erupted out of him.
Fuck.
She tasted like strawberries. And he wanted more.
Her small hand grasped his dick, and she ran her hand up and down the shaft.
“Fuck, baby. You have no idea how good that feels.”
“I want you,” she said, her breath coming in sharp pants. “Please.”
“There’s no rush.” He sat up, leaning against the headboard. Then he patted his thigh. “Come here.”
She eyed him suspiciously as she got up and straddled his lap.
“Good girl.” He kissed her again until she lost that suspicious look.
“God, you can kiss,” she muttered when he drew back. She tried to follow him. “Come back here.”
“Uh-uh. I need you to listen to me for a moment.”
“Less talking. More kissing.”
“While I am down with that plan, there’s something I want to make clear. If you need me to stop at any time you say so. Since I don’t know your triggers or limits and I know you’re still slightly scared over me touching you, I want you to know that I will always stop if you need me to.”
“All right.”
“You can trust me.”
There was a flash of something in her face. It disappeared so quickly that he thought he might have missed it. She was probably thinking that it was all very well to tell someone that you could trust them . . . but you also had to show them.
“I won’t hurt you, baby.”
