She smiles really big at me. "Yeah, partners."

She doesn't realize what she's just agreed to by telling her sister we are partners. I can tell by the innocent look in her eyes that she's not thinking about us being sexual partners. Oh it's not that she doesn't want me. Her body comes alive when I touch it. The second time we danced she damn near melted into me.

No, Teddy wants me. But she's as innocent as her sister says she is too. If she's had more than one boyfriend I would sell my shop and become a fucking monk. I wonder how innocent she is. Is there that one boyfriend or is the number zero. Is she a fucking virgin?

I put my hand on her thigh where her dress has moved up on her leg without her being aware of it. She jumps a little bit telling me she's not used to having someone touch her there making me wonder even more. The guy sitting across from me is doing a damn fine job taking her sister's attention off us and I give him a wink for the help, even if he didn't intend to.

"Drink your water, sweetheart."

She does what I tell her and something inside of me rises up in response. Holy shit! I’m acting just like Willa’s man. Maybe me and Peirce have more in common than I first thought because if I thought someone was going to try to take the woman in my arms away from me I would be threatening violence too. Holy Shit! I have never been like this with a woman before in my life. I take Teddy’s hand again and push the caveman that just came raging out of me back down in the dark where he came from. "Let's go dance again."

"Okay."

This time I don't have to drag her there. She's in my arms moving against me right from the start.

"I like having you as my partner."

My dick gets so hard at her words. "I do too, sweetheart. I like it a damn lot."

She giggles when I lower my head and start dropping kisses on the side of her neck. "That tickles."

"Do you like it?"

"Yes." She whispers it but doesn't hesitate to answer me. I bury my face in her neck now holding her against me tight.

"I have a lot more ways I can tickle you." One is with my cock. Instead, I use my hands this time. She laughs and pushes closer to me rubbing her breasts against my belly. Fuck she‘s soft in all the right places. "You want to get out of here and go somewhere quieter."

"Yes. God, yes. I don't really like bars. Or crowds. Not that I've noticed so much this time."

"Is that because of me?"

"I think so." She offers me a shy smile that drives me crazy.

I lead her out of the bar and walk with her down the sidewalk to the inn I'm staying at. The island isn't very big and you can walk from one side to the other within an hour. So it doesn't take us very long to reach my room. I've kept her laughing this entire time. At one point I pick her up and tell her to wrap her legs around me so we can both make it up the narrow stairs at the same time. Thank goodness she doesn't call me out on my shit since there’s plenty of room for both of us to walk up the stairs. And thank God the inn has rooms that have their own doors leading to the courtyard so I don't have to take her through the building. Not that I don't want people to find out what I'm about to do with my girl. I just don't think Teddy would appreciate the fact everyone knew.

Once her legs are wrapped around me, I realize I'm lost. I never want to be anywhere but between her thighs. I barely have the door open before she's leaning down to kiss me. Her kisses are sweet and innocent. I can damn near taste how fresh she is through her kiss. I want to ask her if I'm her first, if this is all new to her but she takes my attention off that when her shy little tongue comes out to trace along my lips.

I know I’m going to have to slam on the breaks for the both of us but god damn does she make it hard to do. I run my hands up the sides of her ribs and wait for my control to build back up. She wiggles in my grasp trying to push her body closer to mine.

“Teddy we have to slow down.” My words stop her and she takes a long look at me.

“I think…I think we have to stop. I…I can’t do this.”

“Baby, we aren’t going to do anything that you don’t want to do. I just want to spend time with you. Talk to you.”

“I don’t want to hurt my sister.”

“Why would you hurt your sister by just being with me?” What the hell does any of her sisters have to do with us.

“You’re with Willa and I can’t hurt her by sleeping with you.” I would laugh at the absurdity of all of this but Teddy has tears in her eyes and I can tell this is fucking important to her.

“How would you sleeping with me hurt Willa?”

“Because the two of you are together.”

Oh shit! She thinks…the same thing Peirce thought when I first meet him.

“Teddy, I’m not with your sister. It’s not like that, baby.”

She looks at me with such hope in her eyes. “Really?”

“Really, baby. I wouldn’t lie to you. I will never lie to you.”

“Then let’s do more than just talk.” She pulls me down on the bed by the collar of my shirt and wraps those legs around me again. She’s going to be the death of me. “I want you to be my first.” And tonight is going to be the longest night of my life.
