“My aunt got hounded by reporters today on her way from a friend’s house. She said she thought this would have stopped by now. I hate that I’m ruining people’s lives.”
“No, don’t push me away,” he hugged her, stroking her hair. “I’ll do everything I can to protect you.”
“I know.” She threw her arms around his neck, pushing him down on the bed.
“Mulberry, you’re upset this is a bad idea.”
“Nick, I always have anxiety. It doesn’t prevent me from knowing what I want.” She launched herself at him, her arms landing around his neck.
CHAPTER SIXTEEN – NICK
He held her, so she didn’t fall off his lap before prying her arms off his neck. “Mulberry.”
Her eyes widened at his growl, but her arms came around his upper chest, and she kissed his lips and cheeks roughly, insistently, as if she was trying to drive out her fear.
He shoved her arms down to his waist and grabbed her chin.
“We shouldn’t do this.”
But he touched his lips to hers, cupping her gorgeous face. And he kissed her with all the pent-up angst he felt.
He kissed her, frantic, letting the dam break. Because he was tired of denying the attraction between them. Tired of not touching her.
Breathing in her scent, feeling her soft skin under his fingertips, he slowed down the kiss to delicate swirls of his tongue against hers.
“I want this, Nick,” Mulberry’s whisper thick and breathy.
She yanked her t-shirt off, throwing it across the room.
“Mulberry,” he needed to say her name just as much as he needed to keep tasting her. Every cell of his body was ready to spring, ready to ravish her.
“Nick,” she cupped her breasts, offering them to him.
And he couldn’t resist for a second longer. He slowly palmed her gorgeous breasts, brushing his fingers against her nipples.
“Yes, I like that.”
Her head arched back, exposing the column of her neck. She was so damn lovely.
He squeezed, pulled her sweet nipples, and then, his mouth was on her beaded nipple.
Licking and sucking, he drew her nipple deep into his mouth; he couldn’t get enough of how her skin tasted.
Gently, he grazed her beaded point with his teeth, wanting to see her reaction.
She pulled his head down closer in response.
He grinned, feeling the spring lesson, as he sucked on her tasty nipple.
Finally, he was touching, tasting her, and he couldn’t get enough.
Giving that nipple one more long swirl, he broke away.
“More, please.”
He placed his forehead between her breasts, surrendering to this moment, to the electricity between them.
She put her palm on his cheek, gently nudging him to the other nipple.
