Page 79 of Down & Dirty: Rage

At the memory, heat shot through her and landed right between her legs. Where she was already sore. But a little discomfort wouldn’t stop her from going back to his place and doing it all over again if he offered.

Only, so far, he hadn’t offered. Maybe she had been awful at it.

Would he tell the truth if she asked? Only one way to find out. “Umm…”

Using two fingers, Ash expanded the picture on her phone and studied it. His face was much softer when helooked up. “Get me on your schedule as soon as you got an openin’.”

She held out her hand. “Let me check my calendar.”

He locked the screen and placed the phone face down on the table. “Just check it tomorrow and lemme know. You’re done workin’ for the night. You were startin’ to say somethin’. What?”

She was?Oh yeah.“I wanted to check…to see if…”

His eyes narrowed on her. “See what?”

“If it was acceptable.” She sank her teeth into her bottom lip so hard, she was surprised she didn’t cut it.

His head twitched and his fingers on the hand next to her phone curled. “Don’t get what you’re askin’.”

Her cheeks burned. “If I was acceptable.” How mortifying.

He blinked.

“If I sucked in bed.” The words rushed out of her before she could stop them.

Oops.That had been too loud. She quickly glanced around. Good thing nobody was sitting in the nearby booths due to how late it was.

“Baby, you didn’t do much. I did most of the work. Should be askin’ you instead.”

“You should ask me ifyousucked?” Was he crazy?

“Yeah.” He watched her face closely.

He had to notice her confused expression. “Why would you suck?”

“Was tryin’ to make it good for your first time. From what I hear, the first time usually ain’t good.”

“From what you hear? What…” Her eyes went wide and her lips parted as a soft hiss escaped her. “I can’t be your first.”

“No, baby, I wasyourfirst.”

“I meant: I can’t be your first virgin.”

He didn’t confirm or deny it.

Holy shit.“Ash…”

He covered her hand with his and squeezed slightly. “Now you had time to fuckin’ think about it, you good with what happened?”

“Yes. It was what I wanted.”

“Was it what you expected?”

She shrugged. “I don’t have anything to compare it to.”

“Got that. But was there anythin’ you didn’t like about it?”

“No.”
