“You okay?” he asked. “Want to slow down?”
The absence of his lips on mine and the easing of friction between our bodies frustrated me. It may have been a new sensation, but it was one I’d been craving all my life.
It was time I stopped running.
“Fuck no,” I grumbled and pulled him back to me.
I enveloped him in both arms and pushed back, deepening our kiss. The ground tilted until I wasn’t even standing on it, and we toppled onto the couch. But we didn’t stop kissing. I couldn’t do it even if I wanted to. And I didn’t want to.
I needed him. I needed this. All of it.
I moved my hands south from his back until I felt the swollen cheeks and another groan inadvertently came out even longer and greedier than the last.
His fingers seized my sides and held me firmly to him. I ground my hips. A whimper rolled off him, and I breathed it in, indulging in the fire it lit inside me.
I opened my eyes to find him staring at me with knitted brows and pursed lips. When had I stopped kissing him?
“What?” I asked a little too harshly, cursing myself for my apparent inability to speak like a normal human being and not a pissed-off ogre.
“You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to,” he said.
“Huh?”
“You look like you’re in pain,” he said.
I sighed and shook my head.
“That’s just my stupid face,” I said.
“Your face is not stupid. It’s…beaut—sexy.”
“I’m glad you think so,” I said.
“Is this your first time—”
“Yes,” I answered eagerly.
“We don’t have to—”
“Clothes off, boba boy,” I said before I regretted it and took him up on the slow and steady thing.
His eyes widened and his mouth curved into a smirk.
“As you wish.”
His hands bundled up my T-shirt, and before I could stop him, he yanked it off.
“Fuck. You are a hulk, aren’t you?”
“I’m not green.” I shrugged.
“But you’re huge.”
“Not to brag…”
He laughed. The melody fired me up. I wanted to drink it. To drink him. I guessed, in some ways, he really was like a little human-sized bubble tea.
“Where has this Parker been hiding?” he asked.
