Iopened my eyes, momentarilybreaking our kiss as I looked up at him. To see someone other than Ben above me in such a moment felt odd, but right. So right.
“Are you ok?” he asked, brushing his nose against mine.
I nodded, trying to ignore the scorching tingles racing all over me.
“It’s ok, Sophie. Trust me.”
I swallowed the apple sized lump in my throat. My mouth had gone dry, leaving me speechless and fumbling for words.
“Hey,” he said, still whispering. He stroked my face, refocusing my attention on him. “You’re in control. Remember that.”
My thumping heart lessened slightly at those words. What was the matter with me? I’d been thinking of this, wanting this, for days. Now, I was like a rabbit caught in headlights, unsure of what to do for the best.
I smiled and nodded to him, resuming my place inside his enchanting world when he bonded our lips together again. The rush of delight he drove around my body was like nothing I’d ever experienced before. Every time he touched me, I thought it couldn’t get any better and every time he proved me wrong.
I wrapped my arms around him, wanting him as close as possible. My desire for him was becoming almost too much to bear. When he took his hand from my face and grazed it along my side, I gasped, unable to stop shivers sweeping over me.
He parted our lips, watching me intently as he tweaked up the bottom of my top. Panic began rising within me, my breaths coming in shallow rasps. A mixture of self-doubt and whether I would be classed as a cheat lingered at the forefront of my mind.
With my midriff now exposed, he kept our eyes locked together as he placed a hand on my bare skin. I froze. Sure, the past couple of days had been intimate in its own right but that was different. This wasthemoment, where we both knew we wanted to take things further.
“Don’t worry,” he said, skimming his lips over my nose. “Just trust me. I got you.”
“But—”
“I’ve already worked it out, Sophie. You’ve spent ten years with one guy. You’re only twenty-five.” He smiled and pecked my lips. “Stop worrying. Remember, you’re in control.”
I let out a deep breath. I had to think of me and what I wanted, regardless of Ben. It’s not like he gave me much of a second thought, if even at all.
Brady moved his fingers, lightly tickling his way over my stomach.
I giggled. “Stop tickling me.”
“I’m not,” he said, smiling.
The gentle scratching over my skin continued from one side of my belly to the other. “Yes, you are,” I said.
I glanced down to see a huge brown mass picking its way over my body. Eight legs moved in a mechanical fashion as the hairy beast took a casual stroll across me. I froze for a brief second, not quite believing a tarantula was on me.
Brady told me to be quiet as he sat up. I stifled a squeal, kicking my feet in horror at the creepy creature crawling over my naked flesh. He held his hands out in front of it, allowing it to walk into his hands. The second it was away from me, I shot up, screaming. I scratched my itching skin, jumping all over the place and shivering. The more I thought about what had just happened, the more I rubbed at myself.
Brady walked over, chuckling. “It’s gone.”
I scrubbed at myself again. “I can still feel it on me.”
“Sophie—” He grabbed hold of my arms, stilling my movements in an instant as his eyes captured my attention once again. “—It’s gone, ok?”
I nodded with one final shudder.
He smiled before calming me with a delicious kiss. My fear dissipated in an instant under his comforting touch. My heart fluttered with joy at the breathless state he could so easily lure me into.
He raised a hand, stroking my hair from my face. “You’re so beautiful.”
I blushed, unsure how to respond to such a compliment. It had been a long time since I’d received anything of the sort from Ben.
“Shall we head back?” he asked, taking my hand.
