I can’t help it.
I can’t stop it.
“Why do I believe you?” she asks.
“Because you know it’s true.”
Protecting her comes even more naturally to me than breathing. And the more she lets me in, the more I know that there is nothing she could ask me for that I won’t deliver on.
Anything but leaving her alone.
Unless it’s truly what she wants.
Though I think walking away a second time might kill me.
Her eyes search between mine for a moment and then she does something I’d never expect.
Her eyes dip down to my mouth—her tongue darts out to wet that full bottom lip… and I’m fucking gone.
“Penelope?" I ask softly.
“Yes?” she asks in barely a whisper.
Her crystal blue eyes settle back on mine.
“Can I kiss you?”
She doesn’t say a word.
Instead, she lifts her hand up between us and wraps her hand behind my neck. I can feel her heart beating faster against my chest as her eyes lock with mine.
Her pink lips, full and glistening from her wetting them.
I bend down, hoping I’m reading this right, and I press my lips to hers.
The taste of her peppermint toothpaste clings to my lips, and the smell of vanilla fills my nostrils.
I breathe her in, feeling her body under me as her chest fills with oxygen, and then she lets out a sound that’s a mix of a blissful sigh and a moan.
My cock begins to stiffen at the sound and the warmth of her body under me.
She wraps her other arm around my neck and pulls me closer.
My tongue darts out to lick her bottom lip. I don’t demand entry; I just want a taste, but her lips part for me on their own volition.
This isn’t a frantic, crazed-in-the-moment kiss like we had in her car. This is softer… slower… me showing her how I can take care of her if she lets me.
The door to the gym screeches open and Penelope yips under me in surprise, pulling her mouth from me immediately and then tries to hide herself under me.
My best guess is that she doesn’t want to be caught stuck under me with my tongue down her throat in her place of employment. That doesn’t surprise me.
I’m the dirty secret she doesn’t want anyone to know about.
I cover her body with mine as much as possible and then look over my shoulder towards the door to see who just walked in.
“Morning, Matthews,” Seven says.
He doesn’t make eye contact as he walks in with his duffel bag slung over his shoulder.
