“You smell so good,” she said.
“Well, I’m squeaky clean now,” I said.
She let out another soft chuckle. “Why are you being so nice to me?”
“I’m a nice guy.”
“But I’m such a mess.”
“Baby, I’ve been around messed-up people my whole life. You’re not even close.” I pulled her closer to me.
We lay there for a few moments, and I listened to her breathe softly. My cock was growing hard, just having her so near to me, but I knew she didn’t need sex.
So I nearly jumped out of my skin when I felt tiny kisses on my shoulder.
My cock hardened further, and I was ready for action.
I pushed her away from me slightly. “Are you sure you want to do this? Because I won’t be able to stop if we go much further.”
“Yes,” was all she said.
I pulled her to me and kissed her gently. I worried she wasn’t ready for more, but I didn’t need to be, because she deepened the kiss, exploring my mouth with her tongue, all around my teeth and gum line, the inside of my cheeks.
She was kissing me more fervently than she ever had before.
It would have been so easy to let her continue, to fall into her beautiful body and make love to her.
But damn, I wasn’t going to be anyone’s escape. I cared too much for her for that.
So I stopped again. “Ruby, I don’t feel right about this.”
“Oh? I’m…sorry. I thought…”
“Don’t get me wrong. I want you big time. I’m hard as a fucking rock. But right now, you’re trying to escape something. This isn’t the way to do it.”
“No, I’m not—”
I silenced her with two fingers to her lips. “Come on, baby. You were just in the shower not half an hour ago trying to scrub the filth out of your pores.”
She sighed. “Yes, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want you now.”
“Oh, I believe you want me. I just don’t think it’s for the right reasons.”
She let out a laugh. “So what? So what if it’s for the wrong reason? What if I am trying to run from something, and running into your gorgeous body with one of the toe-curling orgasms you give me feels right? What’s wrong w
ith that?”
She was offering me a free fuck with her tight little body, her succulent lips on mine.
Shit. That was the problem. I didn’t want to be just a fuck to her.
“You’re new to this. I don’t want you to do something you’ll regret.”
“Look, I may be inexperienced, but I’m thirty-two years old. I’m educated, I’m street smart, and I’ve seen things that most people would never want to see in their lives. I’m not naïve, nor am I ignorant.”
“I wasn’t suggesting that you were.”
“Then why won’t you be with me? Why won’t you give me the comfort I crave?”
