“You okay with what we did?” I asked.
Her eyes came back to me, and immediately the shutters slammed shut.
What the fuck?
When she tried to look away, I captured her jaw, forcing her to look at me.
“I want to understand what’s happening here and why you just closed down, but I gotta feeling I know, and we’re not having that conversation while my dick is still inside you. So I’m gonna ask again, are you okay with what we did? Me leading that, and you following my orders?”
She instantly relaxed, confirming what I already knew—her ex wasn’t only a cocksucker but a total cunt and, more than likely, because it was an easy copout, blamed her for him cheating.
“Yes, Evan, that was okay.”
Prim, proper, back to hiding.
Fuck no.
I pulled out, rolled to my back, taking her with me, and settled her astride me. Thank fuck we’d discussed the condoms I’d brought and had decided they were unnecessary. I hadn’t been with a woman since my last physical, and Josie had her tubes tied after she had Kane, so there was no need for protection.
I grabbed Josie’s wrist when she tried to lift her arm to cover her chest. “Do you trust me?”
I felt her arm jerk at my question. “Yes.”
“Don’t cover yourself up. You have a beautiful body, I enjoy looking at it. Both in times like this while we’re talking and while I’m fucking you. I’m not going to ask because I don’t want to know, and bottom line, it doesn’t matter. This right here, Josie—is you and me. Just me and you. No one else shares this bed with us. Also, what you have to understand is, I’m me. I like what I like. I get off on what I get off on. I don’t lie, I don’t bullshit, I don’t say shit I don’t mean. So you can take it as gospel when I tell you, not only am I attracted to you, but you turn me on. Every part of you feels good.”
“Evan,” she whispered.
“Listen, baby, this is important. You have a great ass, perfect tits, your legs are so goddamn long I can’t stop thinking about how good they feel wrapped around me. You’re soft in all the right places. All of that turns me on. But when I get you out of your head and tuned into me, and you let loose, Josie, I keep saying it so please believe me—you wild is the hottest fuck I’ve had. Never had better. You might not want to hear this, but honest to God, when you submit to me and give me you, there’s no better feeling. The prim, always in control, independent Josie Lark, handing me her power—fucking beautiful. Are you hearing me?”
“Yeah, honey.”
“Good. Now finally.” I guided her hand between her legs, used mine on top of hers to push one of her fingers and one of mine inside her drenched pussy. I bit back my smile when she purred. I had one more point to make, and it was an important one. “You feel that, Josie? That’s impossible for me to fake. On top of all of that, I need you to trust me about something else. You’re safe with me in our bed. You are free to let go and be you. You’re free to tear up my back. Fuck me as hard as you want. Suck me off how you want. Kiss, lick, bite—you do whatever comes naturally. What you don’t ever do is hide from me.”
“Okay, Evan.”
“You’re sure you get me?”
She nodded.
“Good. If you’re up for it, go clean up. I want to taste you before we hit the sack.”
“Can I say something first?”
Apparently, she hadn’t heard me.
“You can say anything you want, and you don’t have to ask my permission.”
“Thank you, honey.”
Fucking hell, so damn sweet.
“You’re welcome.”
She gracefully swung off of me and rolled off the bed. Since I didn’t get to watch the first night we were together, I only took my eyes off her perfect ass to take in the sway of her hips as she walked to the bathroom.
I’d never tell Josie this, but the way her hips rounded and flared was hot as hell. She was soft and curvy and more than a handful in all the right places. Why women twisted shit in their heads was a mystery. I couldn’t speak to what other men liked, but I got off on soft and rounded.
I was happy to see Josie’s smile when she came out of the bathroom and made her way back to bed.
