“I had to grit my teeth not to tell you last night. I love you. But I don’t expect you to say it, I just hope that you–”
“I love you too,” she breathed.
Pulling her against me, her lips caressed mine in a soft kiss, shimmering with promise.
Lifting her, I sat her on my lap so that she was closer. “Kim, we can take this at any pace
you like. If you just want to date twice a week for a while, or if you want to move into my
place immediately, whatever you want.” I chuckled. “You already set up video shots, do you

“Surprise me.” Grabbing those perfect hips, I pulled her into my lap again, kissing up her
throat until she moaned. “I just need a little taste before we go, baby.”
“Anything you want,” she gasped, as I teased her breasts through her thin t-shirt.
“Anything?” She nodded. “Okay then. I’m going to need you to tell me
