I bobbed my head, reassured. “Okay. Good.”
She watched me for a second longer before hissing out a breath and shaking her head in disgust. “God. But those past bitches of yours really fucked you up, didn’t they?”
“It wasn’t just them,” I assured her. “I’m half to blame. If I had any more confidence with the opposite sex, I’m sure I wouldn’t have let anything they did bother me.”
“Then let’s give you some confidence,” Raina decided.
I barked out a disbelieving laugh. “But how? I still don’t know what to do.”
“Well…” Biting her lip, she shrugged lightly. “What do youwantto do?”
I groaned. “I want to be able to touch you,” I muttered, knowing that wasn’t possible.
But Raina refused to be deterred. “Okay,” she said and then grabbed my wrist before tugging on my hand as if I were some kind of puppet she was about to master. “Where do you want to touch me?”
I shook my head, lost.
“First instinctive answer’s the right one, Union. Now answer…fast.”
“Neck,” I blurted.
But when she blinked at me in surprise, I quickly changed my answer to, “Cheek. The neck, cheek area so I could capture your face for a kiss.”
Her eyebrows lifted in interest. “Hmm. Not bad. I like it. So okay, let’s go there.”
She started to lift my hand to her neck until I said, “Wait. I want to sit upright with you.”
So she paused to let me get into the position I wanted. Then she took my hands and when she had my palms within an inch of her throat, she slowed so that she could move her neck into my grip.
I felt the pressure and hissed out an amazed breath. I didn’t feel her skin or warmth, but I still felt…her.
“It’s working,” I whispered.
“Of course it is. Now what?”
“Now I want to kiss you.”
“Mouth to mouth?”
When I nodded, she leaned in slowly, and my eyes fluttered shut just before I could feel something against my lips.
I groaned and tried to run my hands up her jaw and into her hair, but my fingers moved through thin air, ruining the moment.
With a hiss, I cursed and opened my eyes. “Sorry.”
“No, no, it’s okay,” she assured. “We have quite the learning curve to deal with here. But we can do this. Just tell me where to go, and I’ll make sure your hands get there.”
But I was losing my nerve. “I don’t know,” I confessed as I sought her gaze. “Where do youwantto be touched?”
“Um.” She bit her lip thoughtfully. “It depends on the mood, I guess. And on the clothing. And who’s in charge that round.”
“Who do youliketo be in charge?” I asked, curiously.
Raina only shrugged. “Either way,” she said. “Back and forth. I like a healthy mix between trading places. But maybe my favorite would be for you to take the lead.” With a shudder, she nodded. “Yeah. There’s just something thrilling about not knowing where you’re going to be touched next.”
“Where’s your favorite place to be touched?”
She shrugged. “I don’t know. Everywhere. I think I’d like it someplace that was just a little bit naughty and a little bit thrilling, with you just barely invading my privacy at first, like you’re asking permission but in a daring way. Not so much that it freaks me out and scares me, though. I mean, jamming your hand between my legs and trying to finger me right off the bat seems a bit too jarring and tacky. You should earn your way there. But starting somewhere that’s just barely invasive to let me know that you do want more—with my permission—is hot as hell.”
