He belted out a hearty laugh. “Not quite. Birds maybe, but not squirrels.”

“I totally forgot to brush it. Now I’ll never get one through this.”

“Avery, did you have your mind on something else? Were you distracted?” He gave me another one of his cheeky grins.

“You’re not playing fair, mister. Not fair at all. What do you think, Preston? Of course, I was distracted. I’d just been butt naked in the shower with the hottest guy in the world while he ... er ... while he, um ...”

“Yes? Tell me, what did this hot guy do to you?”

My face grew warm, and the rest of my body followed. I was feverish, so I began to fan myself. I grabbed a handful of my shirt and pulled it away from my chest, trying to get some airflow down there. “You see, he put my leg over his shoulder and then put his mouth on me, and well, his tongue was. Oh God.” I buried my face in my hands. I was so embarrassed talking about it with him. I pulled the front of my shirt over my face and stood there like that.

Strong arms wrapped around me and tucked me into his chest as he chuckled and hugged me.

“Then what happened?”

“It was wonderful,” I said into his chest as I hugged him back. “Talking about this embarrasses me.”

“Why?”

“Because it’s so intimate. That’s why.”

“Can I tell you something?”

“Yeah.”

“It was the greatest thing I’ve ever done. You’re beautiful all over and you taste like heaven.”

“Oh God. Now I’m really embarrassed.”

“Will you look at me, please?”

“Do I have to?”

“No, but I would love it if you did.”

I lifted my head and pulled my shirt down so my face was exposed. Then I locked gazes with him.

“Please don’t be embarrassed about this. I want you to be able to talk freely about it with me. What you like or don’t like. Body parts and what I do to you or vice versa. But I loved it, Avery. Every single minute.” Then he passionately kissed me.

“Preston?”

“Yeah?”

“You know you said you liked doing that to me, right?”

“Very much so.”

“Would you want to do it again, because that kiss you just gave me sort of set me off a bit?”

He started laughing then.

“Have I created a monster in you?”

“I think maybe you have.”
