I tilted my head up at him. “You just gonna hover over me like that all night, or is there a second act coming?”
That earned me the smallest reaction. A little shift in his expression that’s barely there, but I caught it.
Good.
At least now I know he wasn’t made of stone.
“I’m just thinking of every single position I want to put you in before you tap out.”
Oh!
“Well,” I leaned in. “No time like the present.”
My hands came forward, reaching for his belt and he caught my wrists instantly.
“Do. Not. Touch. Me.”
I blinked up at him, then tilted my head.
Now, we test how far he’ll let this go.
“Is that a kink with you? Or like a boundary?”
“Neither. It’s an instruction.”
“Mm.”
“Hands behind your back.”
I didn’t move right away. I let my gaze drag over his face, still pushing my luck and testing. “Are you always this demanding?”
“You always this difficult?”
I smiled. “Only when I’m bored.”
Something in his expression shifted. “Bored, huh? Okay.”
That sent a chill down my spine.
“…okay,” I said finally, sliding my hands behind my back.
He watched me and went straight to his belt, unbuckling it without breaking eye contact.
“You’re over twenty-five, right?”
I exhaled, rolling my shoulders back. “Yes.”
“Good.”
“You’re not gonna ask my exact age?” I added.
“No.”
“Not even a little interested?”
“No.”
I pressed my lips together, fighting a smile.
