"Fuck, Birdy." He breathes against a nipple and it has me arching my back and gasping for air. "Your tits are perfection, baby."

Those giant hands I've been eyeing for weeks wrap around my soft flesh and he sucks one nipple into his mouth and then the other, running a rough thumb over each one till I think I might come out of my skin.

"You like that, huh, Birdy?" His voice has gone even darker and now it has a rasp in it that makes him sound dangerous. Like he's feeling every bit as wound up as I am and like maybe if we don't stop now, there's not going to be an option to stop later.

"Mmmm, yes," I croon, arching my back to push my body closer to his.

Stopping is the last thing on my mind. All I want is for Vale to keep touching me, take that dangerous energy of his and use it to show me what a real man does with a woman.

"Good girl." He chuckles, gives one nipple another agonizing flick, and then his mouth is moving farther south and I feel my jeans undone as he tugs them off my hips.

Vale

My little bird is all soft moans and squirming flesh under my hands and my mouth. It's like she can't get enough of my touch, like she's trying to feel me everywhere at once.

God knows I want to give her whatever she wants. If she wants my mouth on her, you can damn well believe, I'm gonna give her just that.

"Baby, what's wrong?"

But as soon as I get those skin-tight jeans of hers peeled down so I can spread her succulent thighs, I can feel the change in her; the eager woman who was yielding to my touch just seconds ago is suddenly shy in my hands.

"Nothing's wrong." It's little more than a yelp and when I raise my head to look up at her, Birdy's got her arm thrown over her eyes like's she hiding.

If I didn't know better, I'd think...

What the fuck am I doing? I'm a grown man almost twice this angel's age and I'm kneeling on the cold, wooden floorboards, practically drooling at the thought of getting a taste of Sparrow's sweet pussy.

I'm an asshole but I'm not a monster.

"We're getting carried away with ourselves." I press a chaste kiss against her knee and rock back on my heels. "I never should have let this get this far. I'm sorry, Birdy."

It's killing me; to get so close to heaven and have to turn away. But I'll be damned if I'm gonna take advantage of Sparrow. I'd rather die than have her regret a single moment she spends with me.

My shirt's off and I reach up beside her to grab for it when she sits up. Those pretty tits of her jiggle and sway, still on full, mouth-watering display, as her small hand does its best to go around my wrist.

"I don't want you to feel like you have to keep pretending you're in love with me when we're alone together, Sparrow. You don't have to take it this far; I don't want you to do something you'll regret. That's...that's not what this is about. I hope you know that."

It doesn't take much effort to pull my arm away from her, while I get to my feet and head back to my own damn room where I know I won't get a minute of sleep all night.

ChapterSix

Sparrow

Vale's barely through the doorway before I'm scrambling after him. He took his t-shirt with him, but his flannel is still in a puddle on the edge of the bed where I tossed it when I got it off him. Slipping it on, I leave my jeans on the floor where they fell and head to the big master bedroom across the hall.

"I'm not." I practically yell, pushing the door open without even bothering to knock first.

I'm kinda pissed off, to tell the truth.

Maybe I should be smart and take a hint but my body is still buzzing with need and the sudden loss of Vale's touch has me feeling achy and frustrated. I'm not thinking straight and maybe I'm not acting right either but I don't want him to think he did something wrong.

"Not what, Birdy?"

His deep voice comes from the side of the room near the big closet and the door to the master bath, it sounds pained and my heart clenches from thinking I fucked this up by getting embarrassed.

"Not pretending, Vale," I say softly. "I know I'm just a kid to you and that you're never going to want to really marry me and stuff, but I-I didn't want you to stop back there."
