“Should be a week or two. You know I’ll take care of it, and I hooked you up with a rental.” He’d given me a rental car, even though I’d told him I didn’t need it.
“I know,” I said, and my eyes scanned down his body as he shifted on the bed to stretch out his legs.
“Something else on your mind?”
Yes. I contemplated saying something but decided against it. “No.” I started to gather my things. “I should probably go. Don’t worry, I’ll just text my friend Lizzie to come get me.” I picked up my phone.
“Wait.” I sensed his presence before I saw him, and his hand covered mine with the cell. “What’s going on?”
“I really need to go.”
Ignoring me, he took the phone out of my hand and set it down on his desk. “Come on. Talk to me. I know something’s on your mind.”
I sighed in frustration. “I don’t understand you sometimes.”
“I don’t understand you—”
“You come on to me in the library, and you give me an—”
“Orgasm,” he said without hesitation. “Your second, by the way.”
I nodded unsteadily. “Okay. And you say all the things you’re going to do. Then you bring me here and say you’re going to ‘teach me’ things, and…” I paused because I sounded like an idiot, but the words had already fallen out of my mouth.
“And?” he persisted. I glanced down and saw how his hands were gripped around my biceps. Desperate. Strong. Warm.
“Then you act like you aren’t interested. You want honesty? You don’t like games? Well, lately, whenever I’m around you, it seems you say things, promise things, and act like you want me, and then you shut down and act like you’re not turned on by me at all.” There. I’d said it. I couldn’t believe I did it. But if he wanted honesty…
“You don’t think I want you?” he asked incredulously.
“I don’t know what you want.”
“Natalie.” He shook his head as if all of this was ludicrous. “I want you. I want you so much I’m fucking afraid of what I might do because you’re an innocent virgin. And my rational side tells me to take it slow, but there’s another part of me that relishes the idea of taking everything from you. So, I’m trying to practice patience and not scare the shit out of you. Okay? Do you understand me?”
Heat was emanating from him, so much that his touch seared my skin. I peered up at him. “What if I’m not afraid? What if I want you to show me?”
“Do you know what you’re saying?”
“Yes. You won’t do anything I’m not ready for. I trust you.”
“You trust me?” He slid one hand up my arm, and his finger trailed over my collarbone.
“You wanted honesty, right? Yes, I trust you not to intentionally hurt me. And don’t honesty and trust go hand in hand?”
He paused for a second. “Yes.” His finger dipped lower to the collar of my shirt, slightly dragging the material down to the valley between my breasts. “I suppose they do.” Again, he stopped himself, removing his finger before both hands were at my waist. “That’s what you want. You want me to give you a lesson?”
I clamped my lips together and nodded my head.
He gripped the hem of my T-shirt and slowly dragged it up, higher and higher, until he pulled it over my head. I kept my eyes on his and tried to calm my nerves as I felt my nipples harden under my plain white cotton bra. I heard the whisk of fabric as my T-shirt hit the floor. He ran his warm hands up my back and easily unhooked my bra, and my breaths shortened as the straps slid down my arms. I forced myself to hold still and not cover myself.
Finally, his eyes dipped down, and he stared at my breasts, which were feeling heavier with each passing moment. “Do you know how many times I fantasized about these after seeing you in that hotel room?” Axel rasped as he palmed the underside of my boobs, pushing them up and together.
My pulse thrummed.Tha-dump. Tha-dump.Tha-dump.“No.”
“Too many times to count.” He traced my areolas with his thumb as he continued to stare in fascination.
“The way you turned away when you saw me naked in the hotel…” I swallowed a moan, dwelling on the sensations he was wreaking on me. “I thought you weren’t interested.”
Around and around his thumbs went, teasing me. “No. The complete opposite, unfortunately. I was too damn interested.” He squeezed them gently and traced over my hardened tips. “I’ve never been much of a tit man. However, when I saw yours, I couldn’t get them out of my mind. Teasing me, taunting me. Imagining every possible fantasy. How well they’d fit in my hands.” He continued teasing my nipples, and I felt wetness pool between my thighs. “How sweet they would taste.” Then he bent down and took one of my nipples between his full lips, licking, sucking, devouring like a starved man who was feasting at a banquet.
