“You intrigue me, Nia.”
Nia.I love that he’s given me a nickname now that he knows my real name.
“I’m not a man easily given to emotions or fleshly desires, but I fucking think about you when you’re right next to me, and I think about you when you’re not around.”
My breathing turns deep, and my face grows warmer than it already is. Cade’s chest and arm muscles have grown slick with sweat, and I watch as a couple of drops drip down to his abs. Damn! I want to lick them away.
“What are you saying, Cade?”
“I’m saying that I want you.”
Biting down on my bottom lip, my face scrunches in a scowl. “I...um, I’ll be gone soon and—”
“I’m not asking for your hand in marriage. Just an arrangement while we’re here together.”
“An arrangement?”
“Yes.”
“Which would entail what?”
“I think you already know.”
“I think I’d like to hear you say it,” I challenge in a rare display of boldness.
“It would entail me fucking you so hard every chance that I get that you won’t remember your fucking name. It would entail you riding my dick and drenching me with your juices until you’re begging for more. It entails you on your knees while I fuck your throat until it’s raw. In the end, you’ll gladly swallow and ask for more.”
Shit! What the hell did I just do? Why did I ask that man to tell me what he wanted when I could clearly see it in the wicked gleam of his bright blue eyes? Not to mention how his towel jerked.
I tug at the folds of my towel, ensuring it’s tight and at no risk of falling.
“No strings, Nia. No promises. Just pleasure and...pain.”
What the fuck?
Swallowing, I ask, “What if...what if I don’t want that?”
Shrugging, he says, “Why are we playing this game? We both know we want each other, so there’s no reason to keep denying yourself the best Christmas present you can gift yourself.”
My eyes widen. “Arrogant much?”
“No. Just very assured of who I am and what I can do for you, beautiful.”
“Whatyoucan do for me? You know the old saying that fair exchange ain’t never been no robbery?”
God! Since when have I become so bold?
“I might have heard something like that.”
Smirking, I reply, “Then consider yourself warned, Cade. You’re not the only one capable of turning someone’s world around.Ifthat’s what you’re proposing.”
“That’s exactly what I’m proposing, love. Besides, I’m glad that you believe in fair exchange.”
I don’t know why I’m even engaging in this flirtatious banter with him like this. Something has opened up inside me and made me cheekier than I’ve ever been.
Being here with these people has made me feel different. Not like I was before, but not anything like I’ve been in the “after.”
Cade gets off the bench and lowers to his knees. The man is much taller than me and comes face to face with me on his knees. Dragging one hand along the curve of my face, he slowly brings my head forward, and he doesn’t stop until our lips brush.
