“I mean yes.”
Buck loosens his grip on me and immediately stops teasing me with his mouth.
“Am I going too fast?”
“No,” I rasp, wishing he would keep going. All parts below the waist, hoping for more contact. “I just…I have to tell you something…and you won’t like it.”
He leans in close to listen. “Anything. Tell me anything. This is a judgment free zone.”
I peek at him again and then slide my eyes back to the gazebo. It’s easier to tell the truth if I’m looking away.
“I need to be straight with you. I’m a virgin, Buck. I’ll understand if you don’t want to date me.”
Instead of politely offering to walk me home, he replies at a level only I can hear, “Are you interested in sex?”
I swallow the saliva that pools in my mouth. “Very much.”
He murmurs quieter, his lips close to my ear again, “Are you interested in sex with me?”
On a ragged breath, I answer, “God, yes.”
“Good girl.”
I had no idea what those two words could do to me, and now I know. My sex flutters, spasming around the emptiness where he belongs. This has never happened to me before…no one has ever sparked this reaction in my body until now.
“Sh-should we go then?” I stutter.
When he doesn’t answer, I peek at him over my shoulder.
That’s when he kisses me for real.
I eagerly accept Buck’s mouth against my lips, my blood roaring in my ears. At the touch of his lips, heat crackles low in my body. Buck is soft yet firm. His mouth is hot and sensuous but he remains a perfect gentleman, keeping his hands right where they are, on my waist.
When he pulls away from the kiss, his eyes blaze hungrily. “Turn around,” he murmurs.
Being cradled in his arms face to face while he leans down to kiss me is even better. I’m fully engulfed in his arms. The look, scent, and feel of him is everything. The world around us disappears as we kiss.
“Dance with me,” he says.
I nod, forgetting how to make words. He chuckles and presses a sweet kiss against my forehead.
Hand in hand, we join the other slow-dancing couples populating the makeshift dance floor under the strings of soft party lights. Buck pulls me against him, circling one arm around my waist, his opposite hand wrapping around mine. I let him lead, and he’s pretty great at it.
“You’re a good dancer,” I say.
He gives me a pleased smile. “I am?”
I nod, ignoring the looks we’re getting from people around us. “You make it easy to follow. Other guys don’t know how to lead.”
Buck and I move together slowly, my body surging with awareness of our closeness. “Other guys don’t know what they’re missing,” he says.
I blink up at him shyly. “They’ve tried different angles, but I was just not feeling it with any of them.”
He lifts one massive shoulder and says, “When I know what I want, I go after it.”
“Even when you find out what you want turns out to be a little different from what you expected?”
His lips quirk in an adorable crooked grin. “You’re an unfolding mystery, and what I’m really interested in is unfolding you slowly. Carefully. Making sure you enjoy every second of it.”
