She sounds so excited I forget to care that it’s fake for her and maybe real for me because I think I’d do just about anything to keep that look on her face.

“It’s a surprise. But wear a dress. I love you in anything but I’m weak when you wear dresses.”

It was too honest to admit but I don’t regret the smile it brought to her face.

Her eyes dart away from me shyly, her skin turning pink. “Okay. I can do that.”

She looks so tempting when she gets a little shy. And I know if I stay much longer I’ll have her naked with my face between her legs, eating her pussy until she screams.

But I can’t. I have to be strong and slow us down a bit. She deserves a date, not just the physical stuff. It’s not her fault I can hardly control myself around her.

I stand, barely holding it together. “I should head out. Got lots to prepare for before the trip.”

“Oh,” she breathes, looking disappointed. “Alright, then.”

I can’t leave letting her think she’s the only one feeling the pull between us. Of course I want her, I always want her. That’s part of the problem, actually.

Leaning down to her, I bend to kiss her, cradling her jaw. “While I’m gone you should practice with the toy I gave you.”

Her lashes flutter, eyelids going hooded. “What if I need your help? Can I call you?”

Fuck me. I think I’ve created a little monster.

She thinks she needed lessons. She thinks I’m the one in control, guiding her through all of this. But the truth is she’s never needed any of it. She’s been in charge this whole time.

“Yes. Call me. At any time. You know I’ll always be available to take care of you.”

I kiss her one last time, savoring the feeling of her pouty lips against mine.

There’s no reason to kiss her. No audience. No lessons. I just can’t help myself. And I’ll be damned if I’m going to walk out that door without making sure I’m the one she’s thinking about for the next six days.

CHAPTER 32

JUST THE TIP

Iam so ready to be home.

Blake and I were able to get everything done quicker than anticipated and managed to cut the trip short, getting us back in Red Mountain by Friday night.

And if it weren’t so late I’d head straight to Ariana’s because all I’ve done is miss the shit out of her. We texted daily but I made sure to not blow up her phone and risk coming off as clingy as I feel.

I’ve basically accepted the fact that I’m in deep with this girl. I think I already was before this whole thing even began.

I toss a wave to Blake in his truck before heading inside my house.

The second I’m through the front door, I drop my bags and the sound of that practically echoes.

It’s so damn quiet. Eerily quiet.

I’ve lived alone since graduating from college and never once had a problem with silence. Now I can hardly stand it.

In the kitchen I grab a glass and as I’m debating how much tequila I’ll need to fall asleep, my phone lights up beside me, Ariana’s name glaring at me.

I pick it up embarrassingly fast. “Hello?”

“Oh good, you answered.” Her voice is slightly breathless and much lower than usual and my mind can’t help but wonder the cause. My cock also wonders. “I was hoping you weren’t already sleeping.”
