I cupped her cheek, her green eyes locked on mine. She trusted me. Of all the people she could give this gift to, the person who didn’t deserve her, yet she wanted me to be her first. The old me would have put up walls, shut down and blocked her out completely. But now, I was honored and humbled, and I’d be damned if the experience wasn’t everything she wanted it to be.
She leaned into my touch. “I wasn’t saving myself or anything. I was just really shy in high school and while I was getting my associates degree I was working two jobs and caring for Gran.”
“I don’t know what to say.”
She grinned. “Isn’t this when you’re so supposed to get all cocky about being my first?”
I raised an eyebrow. “Only an asshole would do that.”
Her laughter washed over me, her breath a light puff of air in my face. “I’m kidding. I wanted to tell you in case that side of things was a little disappointing to you.” She bit her lip as though trying to work through her thoughts about this.
“You could never disappoint me.” I shifted her in my lap, pulling away slightly. I needed her to hear me. To understand that her experience had nothing to do with how good the physical side of our relationship would be. While I loved that she was upfront about it all, it pissed me off that she thought she had to apologize for it.
“Jareth, you don’t know that.” She blew out an exasperated breath.
I tilted her chin to be sure she looked me in the eyes, that she understood how serious I was. “I do.” There should have been no arguing my statement, yet the tilt of her head and the way she kept biting uncertainly at her lip, I knew Hazel needed more to be convinced.
“How?” she whispered, eyes downcast.
“Have you ever been intimate with someone else? Not sex,” I clarified.
Her eyes sparked with that inner fire I loved. “I’m a virgin not a nun.”
I laughed. Laughter was not something I took part in regularly unless it was with her. “Was it good for you?”
Hazel’s response was immediate. “Sometimes.”
“And who’s fault do you think that was?” The scrunch of her nose told me she didn’t understand where I was going with this yet, but she would soon.
“Mine?” She posed it as a question, but I heard the underlying belief that what she said was the truth.
“No, Sunshine. A good partner uses communication. Both of you need to connect, to feel, to learn what you like. If I ever do something you don’t like then we don’t do it. We keep trying until we find what feels good to you and me.”
“That should be easy enough on my part.” She winked at me. “I am far better at communicating than you are.”
“We’ll see about that.” I laid my forehead against hers, letting us breathe in and out together. It surprised me how much I wanted to touch her in ways that created intimacy, not just specifically for foreplay. I wanted with her what I’d never had with another woman.
That scared the shit out of me.
CHAPTER 14
Hazel
This whole moment was surreal. I was still mad at Jareth about taking away my choices today, and we’d get to that in a minute, but holy macaroni! I was sitting in Jareth’s lap, and the press of his hardened cock against my core had me wanting to act like a cat in heat.
But before we could resume that kiss and everything I wanted to come after it, I needed to clear up a few things with him. And wait until we were off the plane and away from prying eyes. I didn’t need my inexperience broadcasted to his staff.
He nuzzled into the crook of my neck. I laughed at the tickle of his nose until he kissed and licked his way up to the shell of my ear. Wow. My breathing picked up and my knees squeezed tighter into him as my hips rolled forward. His lips feathered across my jaw and by the time they reached my mouth, tiny shudders shocked me each time my center connected with his dick.
I stiffened at the rattling of dishes in the galley. I’d lost myself for a second. We needed to stop. His hands slid up under my shirt to cup my heavy breasts, his thumbs rubbing my nipples through my bra. I shuddered at his touch, almost losing my resolve once again.
He and I still had a lot to discuss before we went any further. While I’d put aside my anger to discuss the development about his dad and for us to come to an agreement about our relationship, it hadn’t just disappeared.
Jareth’s mouth softened, his tongue swiped the edge of my lips seeking entrance. I squirmed in his lap, fighting the need for him crashing over me. I had to put a stop to this now or I’d never have the strength.
I gently tugged on his hair to pull his head back. “We need to talk.”
“Later would be good for that.” He leaned into me again.
