He tilted his head slightly to the left, and his gaze drifted down my body, then back up. “I’ve got some pretty feet,” he said with a smirk. Then added. “Lollipop, if you’re out there, I’m not going to be aware of anyone else.”

This time, I laughed. “We both know that’s not true.”

Trev walked over to me, stopping just inches from his bare chest brushing against me. I held my breath after the smell of coconut on his warm skin hit me. If I had to look at him, it wasn’t fair that he smelled like something I wanted to taste.

“I don’t lie about shit like that,” he said, looking down at me.

I did my best not to look as completely turned on as I was. “You had no problem looking at other females in Kentucky,” I reminded him.

The dark smile that touched his lips made me shiver. Damn, this man was dangerous. I could forget why doing the things I wanted to do with him was a bad idea.

“Lollipop, if you thought I was looking at other females, then you are very mistaken. I struggled to remember their names. My eyes stayed on you. Followed you. I was doing my best not to go get you and haul your ass away from everyone so I could have you alone. You weren’t even wearing fucking panties. Do you know how that shit messed with me?”

My eyes widened. I hadn’t told him I wasn’t wearing panties. Did he see when I got inside the limo? I had thought I kept my dress pulled down.

He smirked, then leaned close to my ear. “No one saw but me.”

His voice made me shiver. I needed to get away from him. If I didn’t, I was going to grab him and run my tongue over his nipples. He had no idea how close I was to doing it.

Trev ran a fingertip down my bare arm. “You have goose bumps, Lollipop,” he said softly.

I swallowed hard. “Yes, and that’s not a good thing,” I said, trying to make myself move away from him. My feet, however, felt cemented to the floor.

“Why? Because of our parents? Because it could make things awkward?”

I nodded, unable to use my words while he continued caressing my skin. His finger trailed over my collarbone and up my neck.

“I’m struggling with that,” he said. “I’m not so sure it’s a big deal. If they break up, that doesn’t affect us. Not really. It’s not a relationship I’m looking for. I don’t do those.”

I didn’t do them either. Not anymore. I tried it, and I was still paying for it.

“What if they get married?” I asked, wanting him to make this okay. Give me a reason why licking his bare chest wouldn’t be a bad idea.

“Then, we’ll be really close stepsiblings. I could be your stepbrother with benefits. We can call it steps with benefits.” He grinned as he said it.

A laugh bubbled out of me.

Trev’s fingers wrapped around my upper arm, and he jerked me against him, then brushed a kiss near my ear. “That sounds nice, doesn’t it? No strings. Just me making you feel good.”

I was breathing hard. He was too close, his skin was hot, and I wanted to melt against him.

“Come on, Lollipop. Tell me yes or, fuck, even maybe. Just give me some hope that I’ll eventually get to bury my face in your sweet little pussy.”

I had to grab his bicep to keep my knees from buckling under me. He was really good with the dirty talk, and he had no idea how much I liked it. This wouldn’t end well. What if he turned out like Tyde?

I had thought Tyde was charming in the beginning. He was so gentle with me until he realized he’d unleashed a nympho. At least, that was how I felt. Once I got a taste of sex, I was insatiable. That had turned Tyde into a possessive psycho, who became abusive and twisted.

Thinking about him cooled me off.

I stepped back from Trev, still trembling some from his effect on me and my needs. “You think you want me, but you don’t know me. Maybe we should get to know each other as friends first.”

His heated gaze stayed locked on mine. “If that’s what you want, I’ll do whatever you ask. Just give me some whisper of hope that we can add the benefits part to our relationship eventually.”

That was something I wasn’t sure I could promise, but I wanted to. Sexual thoughts of Trev were going to haunt me. If I didn’t have my massive pile of fears about where that would all lead, this would be an easy answer.

“You don’t know that you want to do that. Not really. I can be demanding.” As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I regretted them.
