“I’m not avoiding you.”
Her eyes narrow.
“Look, I just don’t want to take more than is offered. And most of all, I don’t want to hurt you.”
“You didn’t hurt me.” She stares into my eyes. “I’m okay.”
I can feel the phantom sting on my palm, see the way her ass turned pink and then red with each slap. I want more, I want to plunge inside her and fuck her raw. But once again, I try to rein myself in.
“Listen, if you could please give me another chance, I will finish my work today, and once I’m done, I’ll happily sit and watch Henry Potter for as long as you like.”
Her eyes brighten, the simple look of excitement warming me all over. But then she leans away from me and perches back on her elbows, a suggestive pose if I’ve ever seen one. Is she trying to drive me mad with lust?
Despite a stiff protest from my cock, I stand and await my sentence.
She wobbles her head back and forth like she’s considering two different, very difficult, choices.
I force my hands to stay at my sides, even when she glances at my erection and licks her lips.
“I’m going to give you another chance, but not becauseyoudeserve one. And I know Star would say I’m being a pushover and that I’m weak, but that’s not true. I’m giving you another shot because I’m nice. I’ve always been that way, and I can’t seem to change even when some guy kidnaps me and holds me prisoner. I don’t know any other way to be.”
“I agree.” She is nice, kind—everything I’m not. I think it’s why I was drawn to her in the first place.
“Thank you.” How many times have I said those two words and meant it? Not many. But for her, everything I say or think or do is 100 percent genuine.
She holds up a finger. “I will allow you toHarry--not Henry--Potter with meifyou provide me with unlimited movie theater buttered popcorn, candy, and Dr. Pepper.”
“Done.”
“That was easy.” She sits up. “Maybe I should’ve asked for more.”
I lean down and brush my lips across hers in a soft, chaste kiss. “You should always ask for more, precious. You’re worth it.”
Her cheeks flame a lovely pink, and I have to back away before I make yet another mistake.
“I’ll be back in a few hours. The movie room is already prepared.”
“There’s a movie room?” She kicks off her heels.
“Yes, at the top of the stairs along the back of the house that abuts the ridge.”
Recognition lights in her eyes. “I thought that was just a weird lounge area with lots of recliners.”
“Well, yes, but there’s a screen that drops down and a projector at the back.”
“You already have the movies?” She steps toward me.
“Of course. I got them the day you first mentioned them.”
“Really?” She moves to stand right in front of me.
I look down at her, wishing I could tell her everything she makes me feel. But if I try it, will I wind up between her thighs when IknowI should wait? “Precious, if you haven’t noticed, your wish is my command. Anything you want, I’ll get it for you. As long as you don’t ask—”
“To leave.” She finishes for me, then jumps up on her tiptoes and drops a warm kiss on my cheek. “Okay, we have a deal. Movie night is a go.” She drops back to her feet and twirls. “I can’t wait! You’re going to love it. And I’ll try not to talk too much, but sometimes I get excited and I can’t seem to just, you know, put a zipper on it, but that doesn’t mean—”
I swoop her into my arms and kiss her again. Already breaking my rules, already giving in to the caveman that lives in my deepest heart. But she’s too much to bear, her bubbly happiness going to my brain and intoxicating every bit of me.
I kiss her until she’s breathless, then I put her back on her feet. “It’s a date.” I back out of the room as she stares after me, her eyes glazed, her fingers going to her lips.
