“Jake—” Her head fell back slightly as one finger entered her.
“Hush. We have time for this.” I covered her lips with mine as I alternated between playing with her clit and pumping inside. I quickly built her up, wanting to watch her fall apart.
I wanted to spin her around, place her hands on the counter, and take her from behind, but we didn’t have time for that. As much as I wanted her, tonight was about her, not my needs.
I couldn’t tell her how I felt. It wasn’t good timing. She wasn’t in the right headspace for that.
Her whimpers increased as she got close, her weight resting on the counter behind her. I resisted the urge to mark her neck with my mouth. Her mother wouldn’t appreciate it, no matter how much I wanted to do it.
Lily’s hands tightened on my biceps as she let go, spasming around my fingers. Her body sagged, and I held her up, knowing I always would if she’d let me.
Ryan’s words played on repeat in my head. I was going tonight to protect Lily. To be the man she deserved. I was a successful businessman. My past was nothing to be ashamed of. It was what made me the man I was today. Deserving and confident, and the man who stood between Lily and her family.
I had her back when no one else did. If they couldn’t see how brightly she shone, it was their problem.
“It’s your turn.” Her hand moved to the front of my pants, but I encircled her wrist, stopping her. “Tonight’s for you.”
Her red lips pouted. “Tonight, then.”
I kissed her. “Tonight.”
I looked forward to taking her dress off later and seeing the lingerie underneath. I tried not to think about how the night could go wrong and we’d end up somewhere else.
Lily smiled as she turned to face the mirror, fixing the damage I’d just done to her makeup. I leaned one hip against the counter as I watched her. I never thought I would ever derive this kind of pleasure from watching a woman make herself more beautiful for a night out with me.
Finally, she straightened, her gaze uncertain once again. “Thank you for coming tonight. You didn’t have to.”
“Yes, I did.”
She turned, shooting me a questioning glance.
“I’m your boyfriend. My place is by your side.”
She smiled wide at that, going up on tiptoes to kiss me on the mouth.
“Still. Thank you.”
This woman was killing me with her appreciation, kindness, and love. Even if she hadn’t said it, I felt it each time she jumped into my arms at night or touched my chest as we talked in bed.
She accepted me just as I was, and that was priceless.
“You want me to fix your tie?” Lily pulled the tie out of my pocket.
“I forgot about that.” I was hoping she wouldn’t notice, and I wouldn’t have to wear it.
She raised a brow at me. “Let me help you. It completes the outfit.”
“You don’t think I look ridiculous in this?” I asked her as she moved closer to circle my collar with the tie, smoothing it down before doing whatever complicated knot I couldn’t seem to manage from the online videos.
She tightened the knot, smoothing one hand down the length of the tie before smiling at me. “You look handsome in a suit.”
I cleared my throat. “You think so?”
A faint blush appeared on her cheeks. “Yeah.”
“I wish we could stay here all night,” I said, resting a hand on the dip of her waist, reluctant to leave.
She turned to grab her silver clutch from the counter and said, “I don’t think I’ll ever be ready, but let’s go so we can get back to this.”
