I met her on the sidewalk. “You’re not having second thoughts, are you?”
I wanted to give her an out if she wanted it. I’d suggested this arrangement to get closer to her without setting off her alarms. But if she didn’t want this, I’d have to be okay with it.
She looked up at me with so much heat in her eyes, making me want to kiss her right there on the street where anyone could see. “Definitely not.”
“Show me your place, then.”
I followed her onto the porch and waited while she unlocked the door. Inside, she turned to face me, walking backward as I kicked the door shut behind me.
“I’ve missed you,” I said as I stalked toward her.
She stopped when her back hit the wall behind her and looked up at me. “I’ve missed you, too.”
I braced my hands over her head, leaning down to kiss her. All the worry and stress faded away until it was just my lips on hers.
I pulled back slightly. “One night wasn’t enough.”
I needed her to know that I was in it with her.
She shook her head. “Not nearly.”
“Where’s your room?” I asked, my voice gruff.
She pointed at the stairs behind us.
I grabbed her hand, pulling her along behind me.
“It’s the second door on the right.”
Ducking inside the room, I didn’t bother turning on the light or taking in my surroundings. I just wanted Brooke. I moved her to stand in front of her bed, kissing her deeply. My hands roved over her body, committing every dip and valley to memory. I wanted to imprint myself on her soul.
“Ben,” she moaned when I came up for air.
“I want this. I want you.” It was important that she knew how I felt.
It was way more than friends with benefits. We had a connection that transcended sex. Whether it was because we knew each other as kids or the tension we generated between us over the years, I wasn’t sure.
I moved her hair out of her face, stepping into her space. “I’ll take care of you.”
If she gave her heart to me, I’d take care of it. I’d take care of her. I knew we were bigger than anything I’d ever experienced before. She could be everything if she’d just give us a chance.
Her gaze traveled over my face as if searching for something. Seemingly satisfied, she said, “Yeah, okay.”
I slipped her shirt over her head, reaching around to unhook her purple bra. The move was bold and beautiful, just like her. She sucked in a breath when I ran my fingers over the sides of her breasts.
I wanted her, but I’d take my time. I’d show her that she deserved to be cherished.
I leaned down to kiss one nipple, then the other. She touched the back of my head, holding me to her. I kissed down her naval, dropping to my knees. She looked down at me, with her hands in the hair at the base of my head. She looked so vulnerable.
Whatever she hid from me was why she was reluctant to take us further than the physical, but I’d break down her barriers without her even noticing. Sweet and gentle, we’d get to know each other, and I’d blow through her walls, one by one.
I’d show her that she could trust me. Maybe even love me, but I was getting ahead of myself.
I unhooked her jean shorts, pulling them over her hips and off. She kicked them to the side, leaving her in a purple scrap of lace covering her sweet pussy.
I breathed in her scent, musky and sweet, before gently kissing her inner thigh.
“What are you doing to me?” Her voice was breathless.
