“Fuck no. If you think about it, we’ve spent about thirty hours together. So, if we went on three-hour dates, we would have had ten of them.”
She laughed. “That’s right. So, you won’t think I’m a slut?”
He snorted. “Baby, you’re as far from a slut as a woman can get.”
She waited for him to make the first move.
He turned on the bedside light, grabbed her nightgown, and pulled it up and over her head.
With a shriek, she tried to shield herself from him.
He pulled her hands away. “Oh, no, don’t do that. I want to see the body that I’ve been fantasizing about.”
“Wait. What?”
He leaned over her and set one hand on her stomach. “I find I like everything about you. I want you to know this isn’t going to be just for tonight.”
“Are you talking like … forever?” she asked in a squeaky voice.
He chuckled. “Maybe. Does that horrify you?”
“Um, no. I just can’t believe you’d want me forever.”
“Why not?”
“You probably have women falling all over you. I can’t compete with them.”
He slid his hand up to cup her breast. “You don’t have to, sweetheart. You’re all that I want. In fact, you could become an obsession very easily.”
She wanted him so much, but she didn’t want him to make promises he couldn’t keep. “How about we take one day at a time?”
He scowled. “With time, you’ll get to trust me more. Are you sure you want to do this?”
She nodded and tried to wrap her arms around his neck, but he pulled away.
“Put your arms above your head. If you touch me right now, I won’t be able to be as gentle as I want to be.”
She did what he asked.
His lips settled on hers, and she realized this was their first kiss beside the pecks he’d given her a few times. Then his kiss deepened, and his lips became slow, hot, and demanding. His tongue slid into her mouth and mated with hers.
Her breathing was coming fast, and her heart beat crazily in her chest. She gasped when his hand covered her breast.
“You have beautiful breasts, baby. They are the perfect size.”
Staring up at him, she said, “You’re the perfect one.”
She was touched when he took everything slowly, so he didn’t overwhelm or scare her. He kissed her until she was breathless and then moved down her neck and then her breasts. He spent a few minutes sucking and caressing her nipples.
“Please, Travis.”
“I’ll get you where you need to be, eventually. I want to learn what makes you feel good.”
“Everything you do to me makes me feel good.”
His hand slid up and down her torso a few times, relaxing her. His touch slid lower and then between her legs.
“Oh, fuck, baby. You’re so wet.”
