I groan in approval. Which makes her squirm against me.
Shit, I’ve got to rein myself in or I’ll have her fully naked and spread on the bed in two seconds.
I pull back and smile down at her. The heady gaze is much better than her tears. “Let’s get you dressed.”
“Okay.”
She seems dazed as I guide her back to her bedroom. Her grin never wavers as she slides on green panties, black leggings, and fuzzy white socks with Christmas trees decorating the fabric. Adorable. “Ready?”
With an eager nod, she grasps my hand. A good sign since she’s normally too timid to reach for me first. I let her lead me into the kitchen and drop down into one of the new sturdy chairs.
“The tea’s gone cold. I’ll warm it up.”
“Okay angel.”
Her earlier relaxation seems to have evaporated. Seemingly deep in her own head again, she frowns as she carries the mugs to the microwave. In her haste, some of the tan liquid surges over the edge dribbling onto the floor.
After setting them on the turntable, she hurries to grab a paper towel and bumps her head on the microwave door as she jerks up from swabbing the linoleum. Her fumbling suggests a newfound unease I must eliminate.
As soon as she taps the buttons for a minute, I grab her by the waist and drag her onto my lap. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.”
“Don’t lie to me.”
I keep my tone firm so she understands avoiding an answer is unacceptable. The tactic works because her head flies up and her body stiffens almost as much as my cock with her in my vicinity.
“I feel weird.”
“About what?”
I clutch her wrists, holding her fidgeting hands still against her thighs. As much as I want her to be honest, I also want her to feel safe.
“We’re out here acting like…like nothing happened in there. But it did. And it’s a big deal to me.”
She’s so different from every other woman I’ve dated. I don’t know how I missed the enormity of the sexual aspect of our relationship to her. I stroke her back. “It was a huge deal to me. I didn’t realize you didn’t understand that.”
My confession earns me her eyes, still heavy with doubt. “That’s how relationships work. The physical in the bedroom and the non-physical like us going to the fair and enjoying your tea.”
Those plump lips form a perfectobefore she exhales.
“That’s why we’re spending tomorrow together too. Because I want to be with you for everything in bed and out of it.”
Shock replaces her misgivings about my commitment. “You want to spend the weekend together?”
Her disbelief is charming. “I want to spend every day together, angel.”
“Don’t…don’t you think…that’s too much too soon?”
She’s skeptical. No problem. I’m more than willing to prove myself to her. “Nope. I want to be with you. Nothing else matters.”
Without even realizing her actions, she wiggles in delight. No one has the enthusiasm of this girl. Or the innocence.
She gives me a quick kiss on the cheek and hops up in response to the triple ding signaling our drinks are ready.
I let her go only because I know she’s coming back to me.
