“Tex,” I murmur but he silences me with more kisses, which is fine by me. I was only going to ask for more anyway.
He slips his tongue between my lips and I meet it eagerly. In my excitement, I want to race ahead and do everything with him right now, but Tex sets the pace, treating it like a marathon not a sprint.
I huff in frustration when he won’t let me deepen the kiss, annoyed with all the layers of clothing still between us, and Tex chuckles.
“Cálmate, cariño. We have all night.”
We don’t though, do we? It’s already stupid o’clock, and I have no idea when the guys might return and interrupt us, and I don’t want this opportunity to slip through my fingers like the kiss did earlier.
“Clothes, please,” I beg, hoping he understands my meaning. He smiles against my lips indulgently, but obliges, pulling his own off quickly before unwrapping me like something precious and fragile.
When I’m bare before him he stares down at me with reverence in his eyes, not seeing my scars.
“Asombrosa.”
I smile. I have no idea what he just said, but the tone with which he uttered it makes me feel like a goddess.
Slowly, he reaches out and skims his hands along my curves, barely touching my skin, but the heat from his palms sets me alight, nonetheless. My nipples harden under his scrutiny but he doesn’t give them the attention they desire. He keeps his touches innocent, though the fire in his gaze is anything but. He still doesn’t acknowledge the mutilation across my body.
Does he not see it? See how fractured and broken I am?
By degrees he warms my skin until I’m writhing on the bed beneath him, distracted and going out of my mind with need. I want to scream and beg – no, demand – that he touch me, but I stay silent. Or as close to silent as I can be as tiny whimpers of desire escape me. I can’t wait any longer.
Joe: You’re so beautiful. I can’t believe you thought I would change my mind when I saw you
Callie: I still don’t know what you look like…
Joe: Well, after those photos you sent me, I’m feeling mighty inadequate
Callie: Don’t be silly
Joe: I’m serious. You’re stunning. I’m punching way above my weight. You’re in the top class and I’m...amateur :(
Callie: That’s crazy. I thought you said it was what’s on the inside that matters?
Joe: Yeah, well, that’s before I learned I was talking to a goddess. Am I shallow if I admit I like you even more now? I didn’t think it was possible, but...wow...you’ve blown me away
