Nervously, she pulls at the edges of her solid t-shirt.
 
 I arch an eyebrow at her. “You really didn’t think we were on a date, did you?”
 
 She shakes her head. “No.”
 
 I growl again.
 
 Crawling up the bed toward her, I help her ease her shirt over her head. I stand on my knees, ditching mine as well, and I hook my fingers in the soft black pants she wore to the restaurant.
 
 When I pull them down, Iris moves her hips, flexing up to help me get the stretchy pants over the curve of her ass.
 
 I want to pant when I realize she’s not wearing panties.
 
 “Thorne,” she whispers.
 
 I look up at her face.
 
 Iris is so nervous.
 
 It makes me feral all over again.
 
 I fall on her, kissing her breasts, pressing myself between her legs. I put a finger inside her, and my eyes roll back in my head when I realize how wet she is.
 
 “That’s it, sweetheart,” I whisper. She moans as I add another finger. “I want you so badly.”
 
 “I want you too,” she whispers.
 
 I don’t hesitate.
 
 I scramble, unzipping my jeans. I crawl between her legs and lean down to kiss her.
 
 At the same time, I position myself at her entrance.
 
 And slowly, I press inside.
 
 Iris pants. “Thorne. You’re…”
 
 “I know, sweetheart. You can take me,” I purr, whispering the words. “You’re so fucking sexy. Do you feel how hard you make me, Iris? This is for you. Because of you,” I add.
 
 She moans, and I slide in another inch.
 
 When I’m pressed to the hilt, I lean forward. She feels so good around me, and I resist the urge to start pumping inside of her.
 
 “Iris, look at me,” I murmur.
 
 Her hazel eyes snap open.
 
 “Watch me.”
 
 She nods.
 
 Slowly, I begin to move. I watch Iris’ eyes, noting the shift from shock, to curiosity.
 
 To lust. I continue to move inside of her, thrusting in and out, relishing the feel of her core around my dick.
 
 When I feel her start to tighten around me, I reach down. “Are you ready, Iris?” I whisper.
 
 Her lips part, and I press on her clit.
