But she’s looking up at me with something like love.
This is better.
Especially when the affection in her eyes goes darker, more wicked. Needy.
Those warm hands of hers drop from my face, landing on my belt buckle.
“Do you want to celebrate?” she asks. Her question would sound innocent if it wasn’t paired with the clink and slide of my belt being undone.
“Yes,” I groan as her knuckles graze the skin on my stomach.
A clear shiver has her shoulders quaking. “Do you know how much I love it when you sayyesto me?”
Her breathy statement clenches my gut. “I do now.”
“So are you going to agree with me more often?” Summer waits, watching me as her fingers tease my waistband.
“Yes,” I choke out.
Heavy-lidded, she leans forward, only tall enough to press a kiss to my collar bone. “Do you know how proud I am of you?” she whispers against my throat.
I know the answer she wants. “Yes.”
“Good.” Her teeth give my shoulder a gentle bite through my shirt, dragging a moan from me. As I try to wrap my arms around her, crush her body against mine, Summer places her hands flat on my chest, maintain a torturous distance between us.
“Do you know how amazing you are?”
She stares up at me now, brown eyes fierce.
Self-doubt pinches at my gut, and I cover the feeling with a smirk. “You want me cocky?”
Summer drops her hands to my waistband, undoing my zipper, gaze on mine the entire time.
“Say it, Cole.”
“Summer—” I choke on her name when she drags her nails along my hip bones, urging my pants to fall down my legs.
“Do you know how amazing you are?” Her grip is on my ass, her eyes burning into mine, demanding I give her what she wants.
She wouldn’t think I was amazing if she knew the truth. She wouldn’t look at me like this.
But I’ll do anything to keep her eyes on me.
“Yes,” I lie.
Again, she leans forward, and I brace myself for teeth or tongue. But Summer presses another light kiss to my collarbone, and I’m worried the gesture will kill me. Any time she treats me to that gentle touch, no matter where on my body, I can feel the affection. The caring.
Does she love me?
Her sweet kisses make me think she does.
Then Summer suddenly drops to her knees, and thinking becomes impossible.
