Just as I'm drifting off, I hear him whisper, “I've fallen so hard for you, sweet girl.”
I fall asleep with a full heart and the biggest smile on my face.
CHAPTER TWENTY
KANE
I peel my eyes open and see it's after nine in the morning. It’s the latest I’ve slept in a long time, but I can’t find the strength to crawl out of bed. Not when Ivy’s wrapped so tightly in my arms.
“Good mornin'...” I whisper in her ear, my cock greeting the small of her back.
“Are you always this excited this early?” she asks in a sleepy haze.
I chuckle against her neck as I press a kiss there. “Only when I've had naughty dreams about you or wake up with your naked body pressed to mine.”
“Hmm...lucky me then.” She rolls over, but when I lean down to kiss her, she covers her mouth. “Morning breath.”
I swat her hand away and slam my lips to hers, then swipe my tongue between them. “I let you snowball my come, and you think I give a shit about bad breath?”
She blushes. “Jesus. I guess not. But still, I’ll be right back...”
Ivy puts on my T-shirt, then makes her way out of my room. I pull on my boxers, then piss in the other bathroom before walking to the other one.
I knock on the door. “Can I come in, or are you hiding your naked body from me that I've already seen all of and licked dessert off?”
“Yes, smart-ass,” she shouts from the inside.
I smirk as I walk in. “How are you feelin’?”
“I actually don't feel that bad. A little achy, but nothing compared to when I have my period, so I won't complain.”
Wrapping my arm around her shoulder, I kiss her forehead. “Last night was really special for me, just so you know.”
She smiles up at me, her bedhead a wild mess but looking sexy as hell. “I don't think I've ever felt this happy before, and that scares me a little, but I trust you and this.”
My heart hammers as I gaze into her eyes. The words are on the tip of my tongue, but I hold back.
“I'd rather let Knox punch me in the face a hundred times than hurt you.” I smile, placing a soft kiss on her lips. “I'm in this for the long haul. No matter what.”
“Good to hear that because Hadleigh texted and invited me over to see Hendrix. Then we're supposed to meet everyone for Sunday brunch at the B&B. But after, I was thinking maybe I'd talk to Hadleigh and tell her the truth.”
My brows pop up. “Yeah? You're ready?”
She nods happily. “I am. Sneaking around has been pretty hot, but it's getting harder to contain my constant state of happiness. And I cannot suffer through another blind date.”
“Fuck that. Me neither. Alright, we'll tell her after lunch, together.”
She wraps her arms around me, and I pull her closer. “You have time to take a shower before you go?”
Narrowing her eyes, she says, “A regular shower or a sexy shower?”
“Do you even have to ask?” The corner of my lip tilts up.
Contemplating it for all of three seconds, she agrees. “If I'm late, I'll blame traffic.”
I snort-laugh. “Yeah, tractor back up on Highway 2129.”
She playfully smacks me.
We step into the shower, and I let her soap up and wash her hair first, but once she's done, I pin her to the wall and capture her mouth.
“There’s one thing I didn't get to do to you last night,” I taunt, pulling her bottom lip between my teeth.
“What's that?”
“Teach you the proper form of edging.”
Her eyes widen as water pours down my back. “In the shower? I will fall and bust my ass.”
“I would never let that happen.” My hand slides down between her thighs, and she parts them. “Unless you're too sore.”
“No.”
“Then tell me to touch you, sweet girl. Tell me you want my fingers inside you.”
“Mmm, yes.”
My thumb brushes over her clit. “Say it, Ivy. I wanna hear the words.”
“Touch me, please.”
Grinning, I carefully thrust a finger between her folds and feel her tighten around me.
“Fuck, that's super sensitive today.”
“If it’s too painful, you tell me.”
“No, it's okay. Keep goin',” she urges.
I add a second finger as I brush over her sensitive bud. Feeling how wet she is, I know it won't take much to build her up.
“This time, there’s one rule.”
“What’s that?”
“You don’t come until I let you. Got it?”
“That might be hard.” Her head falls back slightly as she hums. “But okay.”
I hold back a chuckle because she's in for a ride.
Twisting my wrist, I slide into her deeper, just barely pushing her to the edge, over and over. I add pressure to her clit, and when her legs shake, I slow down.
“Oh my God, this is torture. I was so close.”
“Trust me. It's gonna be fuckin' amazing once you do.”
