“You’re important to me,” I admit.
Aurelia leans up, our mouths inches from one another’s. Her breath is warm against my face.
“Lia,” I say with a crack of warning in my voice. This is crossing lines that cannot be come back from.
There’s no hesitation from her as she leans up and presses her mouth to mine. Her lips are soft, the kiss unsure and tentative. I should stop this, but I reciprocate. I slant my head to take her while my fingers cup the side of her neck. I kiss her as if she’s the air I need in my lungs to breathe. There’s a quiet desperation between us.
Pushing to the side, I lay her down and come down on top of her, our mouths never leaving each other’s. My dick presses against her pussy, and she whimpers as it does. Fuck, it’s the most delicious sound I’ve ever heard.
Our mouths remain fused to each other’s, our tongues careening together. Her uncertainty makes me go slow. I don’t want to push her harder than she wants to go.
“Ryan.” She gasps my name as I move my kisses down her neck with a quiet desperation.
She’s soft and pliable, making noises that tell me she’s into this. Even so, I proceed with caution I’ve never used with any woman before.
Lia isn’t like other women.
There’s a strength in her but also a vulnerability, one I intend to protect at all costs.
She starts to push at my tee, trying to undress me. I didn’t expect her to be this bold. This is moving too fast. She’s moving too fast. There’s a neediness in her movements.
I grab her wrists, stopping her. “Lia… slow down.”
“I need you,” she says.
“Why?”
“Because I need something that’s my decision.”
Her words gore me, though they’re not unexpected. Her whole life has been mapped out for her from the moment she was born.
But I can’t be this for her. Her decisions shouldn’t be based on kicking back at her parents, at her life, but because she wants it. “This isn’t the way.”
I lift off her, and I see the sting of rejection shining in her eyes. “You don’t want me?”
“I do. Very much. But not like this.”
“Then like what?” She scrabbles to sit up, straightening her tee.
I scrub a hand over my face, not sure how to answer that. “I want you to be sure.”
“I am.”
“You want something you can control. I get that, believe me I do, but you need something more than just a quick fumble.”
Her eyes narrow. “Who are you to tell me what I need?”
“Aurelia—”
“It’s bad enough everyone else does that to me, now you’re doing it too.” She crawls off the bed and heads into the bathroom, slamming the door behind her.
I wince and glance up at the ceiling. Fuck.
Then I leave her bedroom and return to the sofa. Going in there was a mistake, and it’s not one I’ll make again.
The problem is, I’ve tasted her now, and she’s going to be impossible to forget.
