His hands ran down my arms, leaving goosebumps behind. Then farther, brushing down my sides and around to grip my buttocks. He jerked me closer, lifting me off my feet as he sought to align our bodies. I wrapped my legs around his waist and ground my pelvis against his. The hard bulge of his cock pressed between my thighs, teasing me and making me nervous. He felt large. I knew the semantics of sex. I’d read books, watched movies, and heaven knew Arwen wasn’t uncomfortable with sharing the vivid details of her sex life with me. Still, a skitter of nerves trickled down my spine at the thought of him pushing inside me.

I panted for breath when he finally broke the kiss, trailing his tongue along my neck as it he weren’t ready to stop tasting me.

“I want you,” he murmured in my ear.

“Yes.”

“If you get on my bike, I’m taking you home with me.”

“Yes.”

Yes was my word of choice for the statements he made.

“When I get you home, I’m going to strip you naked and lick you from head to toe.”

“Oh, God.”

“Then I’ll spread your thighs wide and gorge on the taste of you.”

I moaned, a shiver of anticipation working through me at the picture he painted.

“Then when I’ve made you come several times on my fingers and tongue, I’m going to fuck you.”

He tapped my hip, and when I unwrapped my legs, he set me back on my feet.

“Do you want that?”

I nodded frantically.

“I need the words, Piper.”

“Yes,” I vowed. “Please, Michael.”

“Be sure, baby.”

“I am. I swear!”

“Listen, Piper. I need you to be very sure. When I take you to my bed, there won’t be any other man in your life. If I fuck you, there will be no holding back any longer. I’ll mate you. Make you mine.”

“Michael.”

“You have to be certain. If this happens, it won’t be for one night. It will be forever.”

“Did you misread my eyes? I’ve always wanted forever. With you. I have from the first time I saw you.”

He stared at me for a long moment.

“God, you’re so young.”

“Don’t change your mind,” I begged. “Please, Michael. I want you. Only you.”

“Get on the bike, Piper. Let me take you home. To bed.”

I bit my bottom lip as I glanced up at him. Three years I’d been waiting for this moment. For this man to notice me.

Without question, I straddled the bike, and when Michael slid into place in front of me, I wrapped myself tightly around him and held on.
