“Alex?”

He stopped singing. “Yeah?”

“Remember when we were joking around about fantasies last week, and I was too shy to tell you mine?”

He smirked. “Uh-huh.”

“I’m ready to tell you, and I want you to make it happen.”

He tilted his head. “Okay…”

“I’ve fantasized about you making love to me on your Mustang.”

Silence ensued as Alex gaped at me. It wasn’t easy to render him shocked or speechless, and I had to swallow my smile.

“On it? Not in it?” he croaked.

“On it,” I confirmed, glancing at the hood of the sleek ride.

He cleared his throat and shifted in his seat. I noticed the way he subtly tried to cover the bulge forming at his crotch. He blew out a breath. “Hmmm. Well… sure. I’ll make that a reality whenever you’re ready.”

“I’m ready,” I whispered, locking eyes with him despite my pounding heart.

“Oh, fuck,” he muttered. “Look, Liv, I don’t mind waiting. You don’t have to do something you’re not ready for to please me. I’m fine just?—”

I practically dove over the console to kiss him. He groaned as our lips met. “Shut up and kiss me, Alex,” I murmured into his mouth. “Make love to me.”

“Jeezus, Princess,” he moaned. “I knew there was a wild woman in here somewhere.”

I showed him how wild I was… for him. He pulled me over to straddle him as our tongues danced and our hands explored each other in a frenzy. My fingers tugged at his hair as the fire built between us. He groaned and trailed his hands down my back and then he gripped my hips tightly to pull me even closer.

As if on their own accord, my hips rolled and my heat rubbed against the hardness of his crotch. That made him growl deep in his throat, a guttural sound that resonated with untamed desire. I shivered with anticipation and a hint of nervousness.

Alex’s lips left mine long enough for him to open the door and slide out of the car with me still wrapped around him. He put me on my feet to meet my gaze. “Are you sure about this, Liv?”

I held his gaze, peering into the intense blue depths. There was so much sincerity in them. He made me feel so alive and cherished.

“I’ve never been more sure about anything,” I whispered.

Eyes still locked with mine, he tugged his shirt off, spread it on the car’s hood, and lifted me to sit. I smiled at how he always ensured my comfort no matter what we were doing. He wedged himself between my legs and began to trail kisses down my neck. His hands slid under my shirt to caress my bare skin, and I arched into his hot touch. My rising body temperature was cooled by the gentle spring breeze whipping around us.

My top came off, leaving me in just my bra, and my skirt was bunched around my waist. Alex tugged my bra down, revealing my hard pink nipples that practically begged for his touch. He took each peak and rolled them between his thumbs and forefingers. That sent an electric sensation shooting down to my core. When he took them into his mouth, I nearly catapulted into the starry sky.

“Alex,” I moaned as he suckled my sensitive peaks.

We’d made out plenty of times but his mouth had never gone beyond my lips and neck. He released a nipple with a pop and kissed his way south. My breath came out in short spurts as I watched him with wide eyes.

He straightened to hook his fingers into my panties and slid them over my legs. My breath hitched when he paused to slowly appraise my body, his gaze lingering on my breasts. The way his eyes moved over me felt as if he was touching me, and it made my breathing escalate.

As he stared at my bare pussy, shyness crept in and I had the urge to snap my legs closed. However, it was impossible with him standing between them.

“You’re so beautiful, Liv,” he purred as he caressed my thighs. “My perfect little ice princess.”

I grinned. My peers had given me the title of Ice Queen out of disdain, but Alex turned it around and made it an endearment. He accepted me for me… my prudish ways and all.

“You think I’m perfect?”

“Fucking perfect,” he replied as he pushed me further up onto the hood. Wearing his signature mischievous grin, he pushed my legs up to throw them over his shoulders.
