“Honesty is good, right?” he asked.
“Yes.”
“Am I allowed to be a terrible pig of a man for just one second?”
I giggled. “Yes.”
He leaned up on his elbow again. “You have the most perfect tits I’ve ever seen in my entire life, and if I don’t get to taste your skin, I might pass out.”
My mouth fell open as he quickly continued, “This is the part where you are free to slap me and we both laugh.”
Laughing, I reached down to help him pull off my top. “Passing out sounds dangerous. I wouldn’t want to risk that.”
I loved how he kept everything so light to keep me from getting skittish. The cycle of the stars overhead was growing brighter, with more purple and amber so I could make out more of his face.
The feather light pressure of first his palms and then his lips across my sensitive skin was driving me into a sort of frenzy. My fingers slid into his hair, holding him as his tongue swirled around my nipple, and he kept sucking gently until I moaned.
“That’s it,” he murmured. “Let everything out, Hayden. Anything and everything you want.”
I’d always felt more comfortable staying quiet. As if that would make me invisible, and people wouldn’t realize how shy I was. But with Leif encouraging me to speak up at every opportunity, maybe I was actually starting to come out of my shell.
He kissed up my throat to meet my lips, then as soon as I was breathless and squirming, he kissed a path down to my other breast. The way he tongued my nipples so hungrily felt incredible.
Then his hand skimmed down my stomach, as his fingers tucked into the side of my panties just a half inch. His head lifted as he studied my expression, waiting.
A tremor ran through me. I was actually in charge of this huge man’s actions. I could push him away, and I knew that he would obey me. Or if I wanted him to go further, all I had to do was say the word. I decided to say it.
“Yes.”
His grin nearly knocked the wind out of me, but then he slipped my panties down my legs and tossed them aside. My thighs opened wide to make room for his shoulders, as he stared at me intently.
“Every single inch of you is so beautiful,” he murmured. He parted my skin with his thumbs, his wet tongue gliding all the way through my crease, nearly making me faint.
I was floating, spinning, no longer in command of my limbs. Yet my heart was also spinning wildly out of control.
Leif was so sweet with me that I knew he couldn’t be pretending. If the eyes were the window to the soul, his were glowing with a flashing neon sign every time I looked into them.
He was falling in love with me.
And I was right behind him.

Leif
Tasting Hayden’s sweetness on my tongue was so pure and powerful that I heard myself moan in bliss. I loved that she was so wet for me already. With every long, languid stroke of my tongue, more of her juices slipped across her tender inner lips.
Moving my mouth slowly across her skin, I kissed and licked along every fold, every curve of flesh. I took my time circling her clit, not quite touching it directly. I couldn’t help wanting to tease her a bit.
Every time she sighed, every time she trembled under my touch, it felt like the bond between us was strengthening.
Pulling back to stare into those precious eyes, I let my breath warm her pussy, twirling my tongue around her button. She was so responsive, every gentle touch making her twitch and shiver.
“Do you like that, gorgeous?” I whispered, breathing every word across her skin.
“Yes,” she gasped. “You can tell that I do.”
