“Did you have fun?”
“I did,” she says, looking up at me. “You?”
I wrap my arm around her shoulders, pulling her in for an embrace and kissing the top of her head. “I did. Thanks for kidnapping me.”
She snorts against my collarbone as the elevator dings on our floor.
We walk down the hall to our room, fingers tangled together, and Winnie pulls out the key card, opening the door. She leads me inside, closing the door before spinning us and pressing me up against the cold metal, capturing my mouth in a searing kiss.
I open my mouth immediately, inviting her taste, and a groan burns in the back of my throat as she bucks gently against me, covering me in her softness and stoking a fire in my blood. I force myself to step back, putting space between us.
“We don’t have to do anything you don’t want to.”
“Okay,” she pants, and I feel a flash of pride at the way her blush starts at her collarbone and rises to her cheeks.
“But for the record,” I say before chickening out, “I want to do everything if and whenyouwant to do everything.”
She tilts her head, coy. “What if I want to do everything right now?”
My blood rushes south, my head spinning slightly.
“You do?” I cough, trying to cover for the high pitch to my voice. And try again. “You do?”
Her lips spread into a shy smile. “Uh-huh.”
“Right now?” I clarify.
“Yes, please.”
“You’ll let me know if you change your mind. You can change your mind at any time and—”
She cuts me off with another long kiss, only pulling away after I’ve forgotten what I was even talking about in the first place.
“I won’t change my mind,” she tells me. “Unflinching, remember?”
I take her hands in both of mine, walking us slowly backward toward the bed, kissing her over and over until my legs hit the edge of the mattress and she falls over on top of me. Idecide right then and there I could spend the rest of my life like this and be happy about it. There’s no place I’d rather be.
I wake up smothered in dark hair that smells like the best moment of my entire life, listening to my girlfriend snore. For a few minutes, I consider staying under the covers and watching her sleep, but that feels creepy, so instead, I roll out of bed and head for the shower. By the time I’m clean and dressed, Winnie’s awake and propped against the headboard, sipping from a paper cup.
“Coffee?”
She winces. “And powdered creamer. Which should not be a real thing.”
I cross over to her side of the bed and sit on the edge, reaching for her drink.
Before I steal a sip, I exhale and ask, “No regrets?”
She tilts her head, her smile reassuring. “None. You?”
“Of course not. I wanted to double-check because…”
This time, Winnie rolls her eyes and reaches to take the cup back. “That was my first time?”
I feel my face burn, and I clear my throat. “Yes. That.”
She takes a lingering sip, thinking. She swallows slowly and puts her cup on the nightstand before reaching for my hand. “I was going to give you shit, but I realized I can’t in this instance. Case, you were perfect. You were sweet and gentle. No regrets,” she reiterates. “I’m glad it was you, and I can’t wait to do it again.”
I tug on the hand she’s wrapped around mine and lean close to capture her lips. “Well, in that case…”
