She looked sheepish and shy when she whispered, “What . . . um . . . about you?”

So, I was partly wrong. Bashful, just-had-two-orgasms Calli was hot as fuck.

“You offering to take care of me?” I asked even though not only was it not necessary, but we didn’t have time for me to get off.

“I’d like to try.”

Try?

There was something in her tone I couldn’t put my finger on. It wasn’t timidity or hesitation. It sounded more like insecurity.

Calista insecure about anything, but especially when it came to me and my desire for her, was not something I could stomach.

I righted her panties before I shifted up and over her, bringing us face to face.

“First,” I started, and settled into the cradle of her legs. My new favorite place to be. “You okay with how that happened?”

Pink hit her cheeks, and for some perverse reason, I liked seeing the color bloom.

“Yes.”

“You were pissed—”

“I know what I was,” she cut me off. “Then I wasn’t.”

Right.

Moving on.

“Okay, then I feel the need to ask why you said you’d try to get me off, when you have to know how sexy you are, and on multiple occasions now you’ve felt my attraction to you.”

She seemed to be mulling over how to answer. I’d bet if she had access to her thigh, she’d be tapping her fingers against it.

“There’s no guarantee I could . . .”

Her trailing off should’ve given me concern, but I was too distracted by her pretty blue eyes.

I want to get lost in those eyes forever.

Just as quickly as that thought invaded, I shoved it away, not ready to contemplate why everything about Calista drew me in.

“Well, sweetness, the fact I need to change my pants before I go downstairs and meet my team says otherwise.”

Her eyes widened before they darted to the side and her blush deepened.

“You . . . um . . .” she asked the wall.

“As much as it fucks me to admit, I came grinding against the bed like I’m not a grown man. At least I have a good excuse.”

Good didn’t quite cut it. More like a phenomenal excuse.

“Oh.”

“Now, you wanna tell me again you’ll try to get me off when all it takes is me tasting you and I can’t hold back?”

“Nope.”

“Right. I’m gonna go change. Are you going to come down and meet the guys? Catarina’s with them.”
