“Red.”
“What if I’m not the man you think I am?” I had no idea where this vulnerability was coming from, but everything inside of me was yelling at me to reassure him. to remind him, to show him that there was nothing he could say or do that would scare me off.
“You are, Red. I’ve loved you for almost half my life. I’m yours. Completely. I want everything with you.” I knew how needy I sounded, and I didn’t care. “I trust you,” I reminded him. He inhaled deeply.
“No matter what?” he rasped, and I nodded.
“No matter what,” I vowed and meant it.
I didn’t need a lot in life. I never had.
I could easily live in a studio apartment the size of a shoebox if it meant I was living in it with him. It was why, after the first week of us together, I’d really had to let go of the slight anger I'd felt when it came to the reasons Red had kept us in the friend zone. But I understood them. Knowing Red and how he had grown up, the kind of man he was, I could understand it even if I hadn’t liked it. Either way, I knew I had to let that go for us to have a future.
A future I would hold on to with any ounce of strength I had.
“Anything I do gets to be too much, you say stop, and I will. I promise.”
“I know you will,” I quickly responded, completely trusting.
“I’m serious, Kait. You don’t like it, I push too much, you need a moment, you don’t hesitate because you think I’m getting off on it.” His jaw clicked. “You tell me, we stop and talk. You get me?”
“Is this like a safe word kind of situation?”
“This is us communicating because I sure as fuck don’t want to mess shit up between us.” That made me smile. He didn’t want to mess things up between us.
“Not possible,” I whispered and licked my lips. “I don’t like something you do, I’ll tell you.”
"Good.”
“But I gotta be honest with you," I whispered, kissing the pad of his thumb. "I doubt you could take things too far. There isn’t much I wouldn’t let you do to me.”
“Kait—" he started to warn, but I shushed him.
“You might have fantasies in your head that you want to make happen. That makes sense. We’ve been wanting this for a long time, but you’re forgetting something, Red.”
“What?” His Adam’s apple bobbed as his eyes searched my face.
“I’ve been fantasizing about you for a long time, too.” My volume dropped a little. “I’m pretty sure there isn’t a thing you wanna try I haven’t thought of. Not a place on my body I wouldn’t want you to touch or claim or?—”
I didn’t say another word.
I couldn’t.
Not when his lips crashed against mine and we got lost in the moment. My hands rested on his chest as his free hand moved faster between my legs, fingering me harder, making me wetter with every passing stroke. So wet, the sounds felt as if they echoed against the walls. My breathing shallowed, and my lungs burned, but I didn’t want to pull away from him. I was addicted to all of Red, but his kisses were out of this world.
“Get on the bed,” he ordered, his mouth still hovering over mine. “On all fours.” His fingers slipped out of me, and I felt him take a step back before I saw him. Hyperaware of the fact he was still fully clothed despite his dick hanging out of his pants, while I was completely naked. “Red.”
“Bed. Now, Kait.” He pointed, and I nodded. “Edge of the bed,” he instructed. Once I was where he wanted me, he let out a low whistle.
“Fuck, look at you.” I heard him shift and could make out the sounds of him taking his clothes off.
My skin rose with goose bumps.
I hated missing the show. Red’s body was a masterpiece of masculine beauty, but anticipation prickled all over my body.
“Ass up, face down. Reach behind you and spread your cheeks for me,” he mumbled easily, and I trembled.
But I didn’t ask questions or overthink. I trusted Red, and it was more than time to prove it.
