“Truthfully? I thought you were kidding.”

She pointed a finger at herself. “Moi?”

He shook his head, and she wasn’t sure if it was with humor or annoyance. She could never tell when people did that around her. Then he leaned forward and nuzzled her neck, and Vivi knew Lincoln was amused and not irritated.

“You know, you scare people.”

“I scare people?” she asked, frowning. “How? I’m basically a Hobbit’s slightly taller cousin.”

“Because you’re sassy and boisterous. You speak your mind. And most people aren’t used to someone being completely honest.”

“I don’t know how else to be.”

“I know.” He kissed the tip of her nose. “That’s one of the things I find fascinating about you.”

He licked over the pulse in her neck before gently sucking on the skin. Excitement caused butterflies to dance low in her belly, and her pussy clenched in anticipation.

“What else?” she asked, her voice husky. “What else fascinates you?”

“When the sunlight hits at the right angle, your hair has a bluish sheen to it.” He bopped her nose with his. “Sometimes I end up focusing on the little mole you have near your right eye. You’re funny. Beautiful. And I’ve never met anyone quite as fearless as you.”

Bringing her mouth close to his ear, she whispered, “That’s because I have a secret.”

He arched an eyebrow, waiting.

“A superpower.”

Something dark slid through his gaze. Caution? Disbelief? Vivi couldn’t tell. Perhaps it was too soon for him to believe her. The last thing she wanted was for him to think she was crazy. Or, maybe that ship already sailed and he was contemplating giving her a straitjacket.

Welp. Wouldn’t be the first time.

“What type of superpower?”

Now wasn’t the time.“The power to blow your mind, of course. Or blow your dick. I’m not picky.”

He relaxed, and any hesitation darkening his gaze disappeared. Then he bent his head and kissed her. Tongues tangled. Breaths mingled. Her blood ran hot and heavy through her veins. Then in a show of strength, he tossed her onto the bed. A little squeal fell from her lips.

“Eep!”

“Eep?” He came down on top of her. “You sound like a mouse.”

He pulled the collar of her shirt down a little and kissed the top mound of one breast.

“A titmouse? Which isn’t a mouse at all, by the way.” She rolled her eyes. “Old English. Go figure.”

He grinned. “You’re cute.”

“You’recute. I want to bite your ass.”

“That’s oddly specific.”

She shrugged. “I wants what I wants.”

“Well, I want you.” His tone turned serious and his gaze roved over her face. Like he was committing it to memory. “Somehow, you made me crave you.”

“Feeling is mutual. I knew you were mine the moment I laid eyes on you.”

“You couldn’t even see my face. I had a helmet on.”
