An image of her naked body standing under the spray of her shower popped into my head. Water dripping down her breasts, beading at her nipples before dripping to the ground.
I cleared my throat, doing my best to put the image out of my mind as my jeans grew snug. That damn image wasn’t the only thing popping up.
“Um…” Skylar licked her lips and I had to suppress a groan of male appreciation as I watched her tongue slide between the seam of her mouth. “I just wanted to stop by and thank you, again, I don’t even…there’s just no way to tell you how special that was for Luna. And for me. It was… I don’t have the words to tell you what it meant to her. To me.”
“It was my pleasure.”
Her eyes dropped to my lips when I said the word pleasure. Her cheeks flushed and she licked her lips again. It was probably just a nervous tick, but my dick thought otherwise. He was sure that it was her way of saying she wanted him to come out and play.
“Do I have something…?” She lifted her hand to her mouth, thinking she must have something on it and that’s why I was staring at her.
“It hasn’t happened yet.” My response had her brows knitting in confusion.
“What?”
“The immunity. I still want to kiss you.”
She swallowed and dropped her hand from her mouth. “Then you should.”
I took two steps, closing the distance between us. When I lifted my hand to cup her chin her eyes closed, as she said, “I’m not wearing a bra.”
I froze. Well, most of my body did. There was definitely one appendage that was swelling by the second.
Her eyes flew open as she stepped back and lifted her hands. “I didn’t mean that! I was just telling you in case you felt…not that you’d want to feel…I was going to put one on, but then I thought I’d lose my nerve so I didn’t. I just came over. But then I almost left, that’s what I was doing when you opened the door. I thought, who shows up at someone’s house with no bra on? A crazy person. So I was leaving, but then you came out and then you were going to kiss me and I just…I didn’t want you to think that I came over for…I mean, that that’s why I didn’t…I mean I just got out of the shower and…”
I could see her getting more and more flustered and I figured there was only one thing to do. “Show me.”
My request caused her to suck in a sharp breath. Her eyes were locked with mine and I could see indecision swimming in her green gaze. I waited for her to decide what she was going to do. I knew that it was a risk, but I needed to know what she was here for. If it was just a kiss, great. I’d take it. If it was more, then I needed a clear green light from her.
After a few seconds, I sensed her hesitation and had my answer. “I’m sorry I asked you to do that.”
“No.” She shook her head. “I want to. I really want to.”
My cock pressed painfully against my zipper at her admission.
“It’s just…” She looked down at the floor.
“Just what?” I had no idea what was holding her back, but I wanted to do whatever I could to put her mind at ease.
“Well, two things. One, I haven’t been with anyone since before Luna was born.”
I closed my eyes as I inhaled slowly trying to control the arousal raging inside of me. She’d just disclosed two very important details. She saw this night heading toward sex, and she trusted me to be the first man she’d been with since she’d had her daughter.
“Also, I have stretch marks and I still haven’t lost fifteen pounds I put on when I had her.”
When I opened my eyes again, I saw that she was wearing an adorable, nervous smile. “I guess that’s three things.”
Her raw vulnerability acted like kerosene dousing the flames of my desire. I’d never met a woman so open, so real, so raw. It killed me that she would have an ounce of insecurity. My mission was by the time tonight was over that would be gone. I’d show her exactly how sexy she was.
“Is that all?”
Her eyes lifted to the ceiling as if she was considering my question before she lowered her gaze back to mine. “Yep. I think that’s it.”
“Okay.” I walked over to her and her eyes widened as I reached down and picked her up.
Her legs snaked around my waist as her arms wrapped around my neck and she giggled. “What are you doing?”
“I’m going to show you just how fucking sexy you are.”
