Back in the bedroom, I dragged down the heavy comforter and positioned myself at the center of the bed. Drawing my arm up behind me, I bent my elbow to prop up my head, and set my hand between my legs. My arousal was already soaking the panties thanks to this moment amping up what Carter had started downstairs.

The water turned off, giving me hope we’d chase our relief together. Maybe we’d both think even better afterward.

Carter filled the doorway, resting his hands overhead on the frame, taking my breath away. His golden-tan skin glistened, and I wanted to kiss away the water droplets covering his corded muscles. His chest lifted from a heavy breath, and as he let it go, his arms dropped to his sides along with it.

His decision to join me, coupled with his rigid cock on display, had me hoping he wouldn’t reject me. Yet, he wasn’t coming closer. Something was still holding him back. “What’s wrong? I mean, aside from the obvious.”

The tight draw of his lips sent an unsettling feeling in my stomach, but Carter was quick to read my nerves and broke his silence. “Nothing you need to know yet.”

Yet? I ran through horrible scenarios of what that nothing might be. I flipped through the pages of possibilities at lightning speed, and landed on the decision I wanted him regardless.

Sitting upright, I took off my bra and tossed it, then wiggled my panties down my legs, kicking them off the bed as well. I went to my knees and sat back in prayer position, offering myself to him in a way I’d never done in my life. Completely exposed with the lights on, all flaws on display.

His fingers curled inward at his sides, fighting hard to keep away from me. He squeezed his eyes shut and gritted out, “If relieving tension will make you feel better, you’ll need to touch yourself. I can’t . . .”

“Because of the ‘nothing I don’t need to know yet’ still between us?” I whispered, and he nodded, still refusing to meet my gaze. “Will it hurt me when I find out?” Chills hit me with vicious force, twining around my throat like ivy as he surrendered another nod.

“If it’s confirmed, yes,” he added, remaining stoic.

The opposite happened to me, I began to lose myself to worry. He took hesitant steps my way, and I drew my hands over my chest, pinning my forearms crisscross to try and chase away the goose bumps pebbling my skin.

“Being with me won’t change the past. It won’t change whatever it is you’re nervous to share.” Trembling to the point he must’ve noticed, he knelt on the bed and hooked his arm behind my back, tugging me over to him.

I wound up on his lap, straddling him. Naked limbs tangling together. My cold skin warming against his hard, hot body. My breasts smashing to his wall of muscle while hugging him. His cock just beneath me now, with no barrier between us.

With my wrists linked behind his neck, I rocked against him, finding a light rhythm that still provided exquisite pleasure, forgetting all about whatever he was too afraid to share.

“Angel,” he rasped, drawing his lips close to mine without kissing me. “You’re going to accidentally . . . I’m going to wind up inside you bare if you keep moving like that.”

“I can’t help it.” I needed relief that only he could give me. So, I continued grinding against him. “I need you to help me feel better. To take away the pain.” I rubbed against him, and he unleashed a deep groan that had every part of me tensing. “Let’s pretend the world outside this room doesn’t exist and be together, for just this little bit of time. Would that be so wrong?”

He leaned back to find my face, and I felt his tip press against my opening, so close to pushing inside me. “Are you sure?”

The gruff texture of his voice rolled over my skin, and I wet my lips. “Yes,” I begged, on the verge of tears. Desperate to finally connect with him after what felt like a lifetime of waiting. “I have an IUD, and I’ve never had unprotected sex, but I get checked regularly. I haven’t been with anyone since I last tested negative,” I babbled, probably killing the moment, but these were details we couldn’t really skip over even in the heat of the moment.

A growl-like sound rumbled from his chest, nostrils flaring. Was this reaction from how badly he wanted me but was trying to abstain? Or did I trigger the wolf to come out at the reminder I’d ever been with another man?

After a few calming breaths, he rested his forehead against mine. “I’m good to go in that, uh, department, too,” he said in a strangled voice. “But are you really asking me to take you bare?”

Breathing hard myself, nothing calm on my side anymore with this moment so close to happening, I nearly panted out, “I am.”

“Diana.” He was begging again without actually doing it. Begging for me to resist him? To walk back my offer? No, I couldn’t do that. Being with him was the only thing that made any sense to me.

“Do you know how many times I’ve thought about this very moment?” His voice cracked on that last word. “Now you’re offering it to me, and how can I possibly say no?”

Pulling back to meet his eyes, I whispered, “You don’t.” I worked my hand between our bodies, never losing hold of his gaze.

Brows drawn, he hissed, “You’re going to hate me for this.”

“I won’t,” I promised, my body trembling.

Within seconds, he flipped me to my back and had me pinned beneath him. Hard ridges over soft skin. The most perfect contrast, and I wanted to run my fingers over every part of him.

“You will,” he grunted before capturing my mouth, kissing me hard.

At the feel of his cock pressing against me, I clutched his biceps and rotated my hips as he destroyed every one of my senses. Our tongues dueled before I gave control over to him.

His mouth momentarily wandered along my jawline, then he nipped my earlobe before finding my lips.
