Crew closes the distance between us until the heat from his body seeps into mine. It bolsters me and makes me feel like I’m melting from the inside out at the same time. How does this man affect me the way he does?
“There are so many things I want from you and want to do to you, El,” there’s a growl to his words that has my nipples hardening, “but we can start with a date.”
“Do we need to go anywhere?” Why the hell am I panting as I ask a simple question?
“No, little moon,” he purrs, “we have a theater room. I have it all set up for us.”
I huff out a laugh and give him a pointed look. “Awfully confident that I would say yes, hm?”
“Hopeful,” he volleys back at me and something about the way he says it has hope growing inside of my own chest.
I don’t know what is happening between us, but I know I’d be a fool not to find out. From everything Tilly told me before I met Crew, he’s a good man with a good heart. It’s clear he loves his family very much and cares about what happens to those around him within the community.
I’m not sure I fully understand why people live like they do here, but no one is being hurt by the arrangement and I’m sure there are benefits that I haven’t even gotten a glimpse of. Maybe I’ll learn all of the secrets around here with a little more time.
“I’d love to,” I breathe out and Crew flashes a dazzling smile at me.
As Crew leads me out of the library and to the theater room, one of the places Tilly vaguely waved a hand toward but didn’t show me and I haven’t explored yet, I’m surprised with how calm I am. I should be nervous about spending time with a man alone. I’m not. Not with him.
When we walk into the theater room, I let out a small gasp. Even though there are theater style seats in the large room, it’s the cushioned area that holds my attention. It’s covered in bright fabrics and cozy blankets along with a ton of pillows.
“I wanted you to be comfortable,” Crew explains from right behind me.
I look at him over my shoulder, not even realizing I had taken a step toward the lounging area. I’m surprised to see the way a slight blush tints Crew’s cheeks and the tops of his ears. It’s a little surprising to see him blush and I find myself smiling up at him.
“It’s perfect,” I assure him honestly.
The way he breathes out, like I just gave him the best gift ever has me giggling. Crew’s blue eyes sparkle even in the low lighting of the theater. I’m led over to the lounge area with a hand at the small of my back.
Tingles cover my entire body from that one point of contact, and I’m struck by how damn good they feel. I know it’s probably all in my head, but that doesn’t mean I don’t love the feeling and never want it to end.
As we settle down, an awkwardness grows between us until we look at each other and burst out laughing. Whatever fear, anxiety, nervousness, and caution we were feeling is thrown out of the window.
“This is really fancy,” I sass him as he starts to scroll through the movie options. When he pauses on one and gives me a curious look, I shrug one shoulder. “I’m not picky. I’ve seen this one before and I enjoyed it. Good pick,” I praise him and pat his leg.
Crew’s entire body stiffens at the contact before he seems to shake it off and get the movie playing. He throws me a sheepish smile. “I was going to ask you after dinner, but I couldn’t wait that long. I figured a nice mid-day movie would work just as well as a night-time one.”
I relax back into the cushions which seem to wrap around me and cradle me. “As long as I’m not keeping you from working.”
He waves his hand dismissively before settling down next to me. Even though we’re both watching the screen, a new kind of tension starts to build between us. With every glance we throw at each other, it mounts and grows.
Crew takes a deep breath and lets out a growly groan that has my entire body shuddering. Before I can reach for him, I find myself flat on my back with his much larger form hovering above me. Everything about the position should be menacing, but I feel safe and cared for as he cages me in. It’s an odd realization, but one I want to embrace fully.
“Do you know how hard it is to keep my hands to myself?”
I blink up at Crew, the desire I see in his eyes riding me as much as it is him. “Then don’t keep your hands to yourself,” I challenge him.
My words set him free, and his mouth descends toward mine. He moves slowly at first as if he’s trying to give me a chance to back out. I won’t.
Our kiss starts out on the chaste side, but within two pounding heartbeats Crew pries my mouth open with his to make room for his invading tongue. He teases and plays with mine, the two rubbing together and allowing me to taste him. A sense of comfort and belonging settles over me along with the crisp apple taste of him.
When his hands start to glide over my body, pulling and tugging at my clothing as if testing me, I give his chest a shove. I shouldn’t be able to move him considering he’s so much bigger than me, but he still gives me the room I need. His mouth falls open when I sit up and tug my shirt off which is quickly followed by my bra falling to the cushions around us.
“Little moon,” his voice is rough as he starts panting, “what are you doing?”
I look deep into Crew’s eyes to make sure he knows how serious I am. “I’m giving myself to you. I want you and I don’t want to regret missing out on being with you.”
As Crew blinks at me, I swear I can hear a howl of victory reverberating through my skull. Before I can ask him if he heard it too, he’s covered me with his body as his fingertips touch and tease my skin. The wake of tingles and fire he leaves behind with every touch has my pussy flooded with evidence of my arousal.
