And I had no idea just how hot those words could be.

I would have walked away if not for Char. Just seeing Kenz made me uneasy, had my heart beating faster and my palms sweating. She just looked so innocent, like something I never should sully with my touch.

In fact, it still felt as though, if I crossed that line, if I put these hands on her, I might just stain her.

However, Char proved he was an expert at manipulating people, because he knewexactlywhere to press to get others to do as he wanted. How long had he planned this?

I thought about the questions he’d asked during the game, how they’d ramped up and steered us in this direction, and I realized Kenz and I had both fallen prey to his trap.

And yet I have no desire to pull myself from it now.

“Sit up on your bed,” Char told me.

For a reason I had to attribute to my own foolish lust, I followed his order. It wasn’t that I would do whatever he said, so much as I wanted to see what would happen, what he had planned. Char might be shady and manipulative—no real might about it—but I had a feeling we both wanted the same thing this time.

Kenz.

I sat on the foot of the bed, the position allowing me to look down at Kenz and Char—boy did that take me back to that dream. It overlaid on top of this moment, the way the woman had crawled toward me.

The part I hadn’t mentioned? That I’d kept to myself?

I had no doubt that the woman in my dream had been Kenz. The dark hair, the brown eyes, that wide-eyed and innocent look she got. It couldn’t have been anyone else, and now, seeing her from that same position, my cock ached.

Char released his grip on Kenz’s chin. “Get closer, kitten.”

She didn’t glare at him and his order as she normally would have, and my breath caught when she came closer, crawling on all fours after setting her brandy down. She wore her pajamas—a thin tank top and a pair of loose shorts—and it allowed me to see the way her shoulder blades shifted beneath the fabric as she crawled. The line of her back teased me, the dip near her waist, the sight of her hands out flat against the floor.

I wasn’t the type to normally fantasize about a woman crawling like this. It just wasn’t my thing, so why did this excite me so much?

Because it’s her.

I suspected no matter what she wore or did, I’d want her.

She stopped when she knelt right in front of me, just inside the space between my spread thighs. Uncertainty colored her expression, but it didn’t look like doubt. This wasn’t her wondering if she wanted to be here so much as her being nervous about what to do.

And at that moment, I really wanted to show her. I wanted to be that man in her dreams, the one who had reassured her, who had touched her and taught her and shown her the things she wanted but didn’t yet understand.

I glanced past her, at Char, because this sort of thing was done one-on-one in my rather limited experience. I certainly hadn’t ever considered getting off while a man watched.

He smirked, as though to tell me the ball was in my court.

What a terrible saying at a time like this.

So I gathered my courage, hooked my thumbs into the waist of my sweats, and pulled them down. I’d thought about only taking them down a bit, but with Kenz seated as she was, that would make it awkward. Instead, I pulled them off entirely, then set them on the bed beside me. The cool air touched my heated dick, but I hardly noticed it because of the pounding of blood rushing through my veins.

When I forced myself to look down at Kenz, though, her gaze was on the floor instead of where I suspected she really wanted to look. That adorable side of her helped calm me and reminded me of how nervous she had to be.That made it my job to stay in control and confident.

“Come on, kitten, you didn’t start this because you wanted to stare at the floor.” Char pressed his lips to the side of her throat, leaving a gentle kiss then touching the spot with his tongue.

I expected some sort of jealousy over him touching her, but none came. Why was that? If anything, he felt like an extension of me, as though him touching her, the shiver he drew from her, was part of me, part of this.

Kenz lifted her gaze, dragging it up my legs, the motion so slow that by the time she looked directly at my cock, her entire body trembled. She parted her soft pink lips, her eyes widening in a way that was far too tempting.

I saw the dark inside of her mouth and without thinking about it, my hand wrapped around my shaft. I wanted to sink into that heat, to fill her mouth, the feel of that teasing tongue that often peeked out rubbing against my hard flesh. I wanted so much from her, but I had to hold back.

The last thing I wanted was to ruin this by scaring her.
