I stroke her cheeks, running my fingertips along her jaw, and settling my hands on her shoulders. I trace the delicate line of her collarbone with my thumbs.

“Well, longer than that,” I say.

She blinks her gold-green eyes.

“I’ve been wanting you to do that,” she whispers. A heated smile creeps across my lips and I hug her soft, sensual curves into my body.

“Tell me your house isn’t far,” I say into her hair, trying to mask the strain.

“My house isn’t far,” she says flatly.

I let out a groan and she chuckles. I shift so that I can open her door, but she just stands there, looking at me with round, vulnerable eyes.

“What is it?” I ask. She bites her bottom lip and crosses her arms over her delicious tits. Tits that were just crushed against my chest.

“I uh…” There’s so much uncertainty in her face. “Are we—was that? For real?”

The discomfort marring her features upsets me. I know she overthinks things, and that overthinking can turn into doubt. I need to set things straight before she can talk herself into a panic. I tuck her hair behind her ears and lace my fingers behind her neck. She leans into my touch, and it feels as if we’re in our own little bubble.

“Faye, I thought I’d made myself clear, but let me be crystal clear this time,” I say, softly. “We are a thing. This is as real as it gets, and as far as I’m concerned, I’m yours. One hundred and ten percent.”

She gasps, blinking rapidly. “Oh.”

“So I think this is the part where I pass you a note that says ‘do you want to be with me? Circle yes or no.’”

She lets out a cute laugh, but it gets caught in her throat, as if tangled with something softer and far more sensitive.

“Yes. Of course I do,” she whispers.

Heat floods my chest as my heart somehow both squeezes and feels like it expands. “So, you’re mine?”

She blinks, like it’s an entirely different question. In my mind, it’s not. But this seems bigger to her.

“Is that what you want?”

“Yes.”

“Then, yes.”

“Say it,” I say, gripping the back of her neck a little firmer.

Her pupils flare and fuck if it doesn’t go straight to my dick to see that she likes the way I handle her a little rough.

“I’m yours.”

I press another sweet kiss to her lips, stroking her cheeks with my thumbs. A heated gasp filters through her plump, wet lips, and everything in me feels like it’s on a razor’s edge, needing to feel her.

“I know I should feed you,” I say with a groan. “But do you think it would be okay if we go back to your house so I can take care of something?”

“What do you need?” she asks, frowning as I help her into the car.

I buckle her in, something I’ve never done, but the proximity has her gasping again. Fuck. I need to get her home before I do something reckless like spread her across this seat and lick her until she screams my name. I adjust my pants and her eyes follow my hand.

“Oh,” she says, her eyes wide, but heated.

“If that’s okay, of course.” My voice comes out low and rough, but her pupils dilate and she bites her bottom lip again.

“How fast can you drive?”
