My lips tipped up in a smile. “Waking up with your naked body next to mine has already accomplished that feat.”
Tessa swallowed roughly. “Okay. Well, then I’d like to make up for missing your birthday morning yesterday. I just don’t know how.”
The last thing I wanted was for her to feel like she owed me anything, especially after what she’d given me last night. But I couldn’t say I wasn’t intrigued, so I played along. “Lucky for us, we have the whole day for you to figure it out.”
Shaking her head, Tessa shared, “I already figured it out, but I don’t know how.”
And I was certain I’d never been more confused in my life. “Princess, I’m not sure I understand what that means.”
The pink was back on her cheeks as she squirmed beside me. I was on my back; she was on her belly. But she had herself propped up with one arm resting on my chest and the other forearm pressing into the mattress.
“I was thinking that I’d like to try using my mouth on…” She looked toward my waist, where the sheet was pulled up just high enough to cover me. “I wanted to use my mouth on you. But I don’t know how.”
At the mere thought of this woman’s mouth wrapped around me, my cock stirred to life. “Tessa, are you?—”
“I want to try, Ace.” She bit her lip. “I… Will you tell me what to do?”
I must’ve done something right in my life for the privilege of having this beautiful woman in my bed. Nobody had ever made me feel the way she did.
Lifting one hand to the side of her face, I drove my fingers back into her hair. “I don’t think it’s possible for you to screw it up, if last night is any indication.”
Tipping her head to the side curiously, she asked, “What does that mean?”
“It means that you learned what to do rather quickly,” I explained, my fingers still threading through her strands. “You didn’t need me to instruct you because you did what came naturally to you. I suspect the same will be the case here.”
“But… But I had you to lead me last night. I don’t want to mess it up, Ace.” She bit her lip, worry taking hold of her.
My thumb went to her bottom lip and urged it from between her teeth before I said, “I would avoid using those.”
“My teeth?”
I nodded.
“What else?”
“You can use your hand. Touching and stroking are good. The tip is the most sensitive, so paying special attention to that will result in a big payoff for me. It’s hard to beat suction, and the wetter, the better.”
Tessa licked her lip, giving me another idea.
“Using your tongue is welcome, necessary, and enough to drive me wild.”
Her eyes lit up, and she squirmed again. “I think I can do all of that.”
I chuckled. “I know you can, Princess.”
She looked toward my waist again. “Can I… Can I try it now?”
“Let me fill you in on something, Tessa. Except for one thing, there’s nothing that’ll ever have me turning you down any time you want to suck my cock.”
Those words had my shy girl looking away. I urged her to focus on me again.
“I told you that you’re always safe with me in this bed. I don’t just mean in the physical sense. Whatever you’re feeling is fine, and as this progresses between us, you’ll get more and more comfortable. There’s no need to be bashful.”
Tessa smiled. “I love you, Ace Townsend.”
That was a shot straight through the heart. Tessa Stone had admitted she loved me last night, and hearing it again was like hearing it for the first time. “I love you, too.”
With those words, Tessa shifted and swung one leg over my body to straddle me. She kissed my mouth before starting her journey down my throat, across my chest, and over my abdomen. For a girl who felt so uncertain of what to do, she was already doing spectacularly.
