Lila
WhenHawkdisappearedintothe bathroom, I rolled onto my side and smoothed my skirt down. I didn’t know why, but I was suddenly feeling embarrassed about having my bare ass exposed.
I crawled off the bed—this damn corset restricting my movement—and searched for the mini-fridge. My throat was so dry from all the moaning and screaming. I grabbed a bottle of water and stared at the walls, wondering if the guests next door—and upstairs and downstairs—had heard us. Thank god we weren’t in my office ’cause there was no way I could have turned the volume down.
When a naked Hawk returned from the bathroom, I dropped my bottle. Holy hotness. I didn’t know where to look first. His chiseled abs. His bulging biceps. His cock at the ready again.
Hawk picked up my bottle and threw a towel over the spilled water.
As I took the bottle back, I stated the obvious, “You’re naked already.”
He nodded.
“What happened to slow exploration?”
His brow furrowed. “My mind is still a little hazy, but if I recall, you’re the one who wanted to bypass that.”
“Well, yes, but now we’ve got that first time out of our systems, I thought we’d take it slow to…” What was I saying?Don’t be stupid, Lila.
“Slow to what?”
I averted my eyes. “Never mind.”
He hooked a finger under my chin. “Tell me.”
“To undress each other.” Heat flushed my cheeks in embarrassment.
He looked down at himself. “Was that something you would have enjoyed? Undressing me?”
“It doesn’t matter. I’m enjoying this view very much.”
Hawk disappeared into the bathroom before I had a chance to admire all his tattoos and the cuts of his muscles.
I downed the rest of the water, wondering what wonderful things round two would bring. When Hawk came back in, he was fully dressed again.
Feeling even more embarrassed, I said, “Oh…you didn’t.”
He turned me around, tucking my back into him. “Me first.” His fingers trailed over the hypersensitive skin of my shoulders, trailing down my spine until he reached the clasp of my dress. He slowly unzipped me. As the dress loosened, I held it up with one arm draped over the bodice.
“Let it fall,” he said as he gently guided my arm to my side. The dress slid off and bunched around my ankles.
“What the hell is this contraption?” His voice was full of confusion.
Ah shit, the girdle. The one that took Simone twenty minutes to help me into. It wasn’t one of those pretty old-style corsets with laces and clasps. This one was drab brown reminiscent of the color of shit and involved way too much velcro. Sexy, it was not.
“I’ll go to take it off.” I scooted toward the bathroom, but he grabbed me around the waist, smoothing his hands over the spandex.
“No. I want to peel every piece of clothing off you myself, unwrapping you like a gift.” He kissed my shoulder. “And, Lila, you’re a magnificent gift.”
The flutters flitting to life in my belly were quickly replaced by a sinking feeling as the awful sound of ripping velcro filled the room. I cringed as he undid all the straps, but all I could do was shut my eyes and wait for the damn thing to come off, freeing all my bulges. Worry settled in that he wouldn’t like what he saw.
Hawk growled in appreciation behind me as he unveiled my body. He pinched my ass, and I yipped in surprise. His dark chuckle sent shivers up my spine. “You’re even more beautiful than I imagined.”
My breath hitched at the compliment. I’d been called beautiful before, but the words had never felt sincere. Hawk’s praise was nothing like those times.
With both hands, he palmed my ass. “So gorgeous.” His voice full of reverence.
