Her fingers dug into the backs of my thighs, urging me deeper. The pressure rose, and my control snapped. I tried to pull away, but she dug her nails into me, holding me in place. My body shook with my release, and I collapsed against the cold tiles.

Lainey smiled, waterdrops trickling down her face, blonde strands stuck to her cheeks. “That makes you another one of my firsts.” She pushed from the floor and I helped her up.

“Thank you.” Other words eluded me, and I had no idea what the fuck just happened. My body was jelly, my mind not much more than that either.

Her laugh filled the shower stall. “You’re welcome.”

“Wait, your first what?”

She bit her lip, the corners turning upward. She grabbed the poof that had fallen to the floor. “We should finish cleaning. I’ve worked up an appetite.” She motioned to me. “Come here.”

“If I let go of this wall, I’m going to collapse.”

The little minx smiled innocently before pressing the poof to my chest. “Then I’ll just come to you.”

“As soon as I can move, I’m going to give you the best orgasm of your life.”

“You already have.”

I shook my head. “Those will pale in comparison. Trust me.”

Her eyes met mine. “I do.”

I was afraid to open my eyes. Memories of the last time Nero and I were together flashed in my mind. I squeezed my eyes shut, reliving his mouth on my neck, hand on my stomach, cock so deep inside me, sparking nerve endings I didn’t know existed.

He left me once because he was scared. Because he thought he was doing what was best for me. Who was to say all of those doubts and insecurities didn’t haunt him while I slept?

His arm wasn’t around me. I didn’t feel his body against mine. Tears pricked the backs of my eyes as my own insecurities forced me to jump to conclusions I wasn’t sure about. I couldn’t be sure until I opened my eyes. But if he was here, I would feel him. Sense him.

But to leave me in his bed, in his own house… he wouldn’t. Would he?

I stretched my leg to his side of the bed, and it was cold. Disappointment settled in my gut as I accepted another blow to my already fragile ego.

I guess the saying was true. You couldn’t teach old dogs new tricks. They were too set in their ways. Too accustomed to a lifestyle and rules they’d only ever known.

The scent of bacon teased my senses, and my eyes popped open. I blinked a few times, clearing my vision of sleep. The slightest sound of The Red Hot Chili Peppers drifted into the room. I tossed the blankets off me and slipped into my panties and one of Nero’s t-shirts that barely cleared my boobs. Hopefully, I didn’t stretch it out too much, but I didn’t feel like putting my dress back on. I followed the scent of bacon and the familiar voice of Anthony Kiedis to the kitchen.

“You’re still here,” I said.

Nero froze with the spatula in midair. “Oh my god, I didn’t even think…” He hurried over to me, concern and worry filling his dark blue gaze. He kissed my forehead. “I’m sorry. I wanted to surprise you with breakfast. I didn’t think you would wake up and think I left you. I wouldn’t do that again. I swear it.”

Relief flooded through me. “I know.”

“Do you? I need you to know I am not going anywhere, Lanes.”

“I told you I trust you, and I do.”

“But you didn’t. You woke up and thought I left you again.”

I could assure him I didn’t, but I didn’t want to lie to him. I never had before, and I wasn’t going to start now. “I did.” I forced a smile. “But you didn’t.”

“I’m an idiot.” He took me into his arms and squeezed entirely too hard, but it was comforting and warm, and I didn’t want him to let go. All the doubts I had fled, and I rested my head against his chest.

“You are not an idiot. I just got scared. Last night was so perfect. It almost didn’t seem real.”

“I thought I dreamt it. Then I woke up and I could smell your sweet vanilla scent, and feel you so warm in my arms. I didn’t want to let you go, but my stomach overpowered every other body part.”

I ran my hand over his length. “Even him?”
