Her face scrunches. “Yeah but I’m not… you don’t have to take care of me like that,” she says quietly.
My look hardens. “Yes, I do.”
She blushes, and I watch her tongue wet those pouty lips again. She really needs to stop doing that. My cock throbs, and I quickly turn. “It’ll be ready in about five minutes, if you’re hungry.”
“Starving!”
I grin to myself. “Then let’s eat.”
* * *
“That wassogood!”
I grin and sit back in my chair. Across the outdoor table that I built, Mia is actually glowing. “Thanks.”
“No, I mean, that was ridiculously good, Hunter. That was like the best meal I’ve literally ever had.”
“Beats the school cafeteria and instant ramen?”
“A little bit, yeah,” she holds up two fingers like a measurement and grins. “And thank you. That was fantastic.” She sighs contentedly and looks around. The sun is setting over the city, and the sky is glowing pinks and purples. Above us, the string lights twinkle in the branches of the trees around this little clearing. “This is heaven,” she breathes.
Despite my circumstances of not being able to leave here, I have to agree. “I know.”
“I can see why you don’t leave much.”
Much. Yeah, something like that. I stand and shrug. “I can give you a tour of the garden if you want.”
“I’d love that.”
She jumps to her feet. For the millionth time since she’s fallen into my life, I find myself smiling at her. It’s her bounciness, and her consummate smile. She’s like a gorgeous little ray of sunshine on the cloudy day of my life.
We walk through under the branches and lights through the garden. I point out certain plants and she asks about a million questions. She’s enthralled by the fountain and bubbling little mini-river that trickles past one of the paths.
We round a corner by the hydrangeas, and suddenly, her foot catches on the rock path. She sprawls, but I’m there to catch her. She falls into my arms, and I growl when her body sinks into me. My head is reeling. I shouldn’t be touching her. I shouldn’t be this close. Because proximity Mia is going to destroy my self-control.
Mia looks up at me with a blush on her face. She looks at me with apprehension and curiosity. Like she wants to try a bite of something new but isn’t sure if it’s going to be too spicy or not.
I need to walk away. She can’t be part of me and this prison I’m in. But I lean down, and my hand moves to her hip with a mind of its own. I’m telling myself no, but my heart won’t listen. My cock certainly won’t—throbbing so hard, with my blood pounding.
She wets her lips again, and this time it’s my undoing.
I lean in and kiss her hard. And when my lips touch hers, it’s like lightning sizzles through me. She’s so tiny, and I wrap her in my huge arms gently, almost scared to crush her. I kiss her slowly, and then harder. Mia moans into me. She clings to me, kissing me awkwardly at first and then she gets into it. We find our rhythm, and our tongues lead the way.
With a low, deep growl, I push her against the railing with the city spread out around us glittering like jewels. I need to walk away from this innocent creature, but my lust and desire for her won’t let me. My aching need for her, like a balm on a burn, is too raw to ignore. And it won’t be, just like I won’t be denied her.
Mia moans when my knee slips between her thighs. I add pressure to the bloom of heat I feel there between her legs, and her breath becomes gasping. Her hips move slowly, pushing into me, and I groan.
My sweet little angel is grinding on my thigh, wanting this. It’s not overt, but it’s just the gentlest of pressure to let me know that she wants more. I push, and I flex my thigh muscles. She gasps quietly in response. It’s like she’s aware but not completely aware of what she’s doing. And watching the naughty wrestling with the innocence inside of her only makes me crave her more.
Her skirt rides up higher, and I snarl against her soft lips. My thigh pushes against the hot little mound under her damp cotton panties. I wish I didn’t have jeans on, because I’m betting I could feel her sticky wetness on my leg through those panties.
Mia’s arms are around my neck, and she moans against my mouth. My tongue wrestles hers, and my lips bruise hers—a demanding, punishing kiss. I could kiss her forever, except right at that moment is when reason decides to punch me hard in the gut. Suddenly, I realize I have no goddamn idea what I’m doing.
I’m thirty, with all of the knowledge of the world that comes with that. Mia is nineteen, and even more innocent and un-worldly than most her age. Suddenly, this feels like I’m taking advantage of her. Or if nothing else, what’s the endgame? From the moment I laid eyes on this girl, I’ve desired her. I’ve become obsessed with her. But what then? What happens when she discovers that this urban paradise I’ve built for myself is actually a prison? What happens when I have to tell her that for the sake of innocents around the world, I’m never leaving this place?
It’s one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. But with a snarl of displeasure, I pull away from her lips. My breath comes in heavy pants, and my cock is hard as steel inside the confines of my jeans. I can still feel her heat against my thigh, but she looks up at me with a wounded expression when I pull back.
“Mia,” I growl. My jaw clenches tight, and I shake my head. Her face pales of color, and her lower lip worries. I move back from her, and she’s suddenly hugging herself.
