“Do you know why?” Pierce raked his gorgeous gaze over me. “I mean, did you have a problem even then?”
I had to huff. “You. Are. So. Nosey.”
“I’m just trying to piece together the puzzle that is Hayley Wilson.” He shifted himself closer.
“How about you?” I turned the tables on him. “Did you date much when you were a teen?”
“Oh, baby, you have no idea.”
“Care to share?”
His dark blue eyes turned inky black. “I will. When the time is right. I promise.” He pulled me toward him, and I wanted to curl into his strong body and live there it felt so perfect.
“Pierce.” My voice grated as I teared up. “I want to be normal. I want it so, so much.”
His thumbs pressed my cheeks. “Will you let me help you?”
I rested my forehead against his. “I think I’m beyond helping.”
“At least let me try?” He leaned away and gave me his trademark puppy-eyed look.
I glanced around uneasily. “Just as long as you keep your dick away from me…” My mouth trembled.
He stroked my cheek. “You’re scared of it, aren’t you, sweetheart?” His tone was gentle.
I dropped my chin and muttered into my chest. “I’m a grown twenty-first century woman. I’m ridiculous, but, yeah, a man’s penis puts the fear of God into me.”
The admission was a relief, but I still felt like an idiot.
“I promise I won’t hurt you, love, or push you too far.” He lifted my chin and planted a soft kiss to my lips. “C’mon, let’s go to bed. We have to be up early for our flight.”
We went upstairs and showered together like last night. Again, I kept my eyes averted from his dick. After I’d dried our hair, we lay under the comforter, the AC cooling the air around us.
He pulled me into his hold, arranging one arm beneath me and the other over my hip. “Hayley?”
“Hmm?”
“Take your top off. We can be skin to skin again.”
I remembered how good that had felt, so I did as he asked.
He tucked me under his chin, and his hand caressed my shoulders.
“Mmm,” I sighed with pleasure as his warm fingers trailed up and down my spine.
His hand inched up and petted below my breast, tracing the line of my rib cage.
I had to remind myself to breathe.
His arms tightened around me. “Wanna make out a little more?”
“What do you mean?” My pulse picked up.
“Second base? You said you’ve done that before.”
Me and my big mouth…
“Relax, baby. I’ve got you. If you don’t like it just tell me to stop, and I will.”
My heart was in my throat, pounding boom, boom, boom, like his drums, but I whispered, “Okay…”
He moved his lips over my collar bone, and I quivered.
He traced kisses up my neck to my jawline, and I hissed.
He captured my mouth, and I released a throaty moan.
I panted for him, my chest rising and falling.
He spread his hands downward to cup my breasts. It felt so nice, I couldn’t resist pushing into him like a needy kitty.
“That’s my girl,” his voice purred.
Slowly, lingeringly, like he was tasting me, he kissed his way downward. His tongue worked my nipples into pebbles, and I arched for the soft, slow, wet licks.
Want hummed between us, as strong as the love I’d started to feel for him. I was so fucking fucked to have fallen for Pierce. There was no way he’d ever feel the same about me. Pierce needed a woman in every sense of the word. I’d never fulfil his needs.
I pushed at his chest. “Stop, please.”
He lay back on the mattress. “Gotta go take a piss.” He swung his legs from the bed and headed off to the bathroom. Given the amount of time he was spending in there, he was getting himself off, I guessed.
I slid my hand under my pajama bottoms and stroked my clit. The tingles were building but I soon gave up.
I wanted Pierce.
I wanted us to be a real couple.
I wanted it so bad I might even be willing to fight my fear when he came back to bed.Chapter 16PierceI jerked off in the bathroom so that Hayley wouldn’t be scared by my boner. Then I cleaned myself up and returned to the bedroom. She was sitting, re-plaiting her hair. I made my way across the carpeted floor and sat on the edge of the bed. “Don’t braid it, please. It’s so beautiful loose.” I threaded my fingers through her fiery tresses, and then kissed her forehead. “Did I push you too far, earlier, sweetheart?”
She released a sigh. “It’s not you…it’s me.” She lifted her head and looked at me, her eyes two pools of misery. “I don’t wanna be like this…”
“I know.” I thought for a couple seconds. “Do you trust me?”
She nodded, and my heart squeezed.
“Lean against the headboard, love.”
She did as I asked, and I smoothed my hand up her thigh. With a shudder, she closed her legs and her muscles stiffened.
