“I’ve never had that.”

“Now you do.” He pinches my nipple, gently tightening his grip and then tugging my breast into the air. Making me arch my back, and sending a spiral of heat through my belly.

“How about you? Who takes care of you?"

He chuckles. “I don't need anyone to take care of me."

"Oh no, that can't possibly be true. Everyone needs a little caretaking." I reach between us and find his erection, hard and ready between us.

He hisses under his breath. "You are trouble."

I smile. “I think for you, I justmight be."

"Do you like that? Do you like being trouble for me?"

I squirm, my good girl instincts warring with something deeper and more instinctual to tease and stroke and make him lose control.

He lets out a ragged breath. “You do. Good. Be as much trouble as you want. I can handle it."

I have a wicked, wicked thought. It makes liquid need pool between my legs, and now that the thought is in my head, I can’t keep it to myself.

Dragging my fingers up the outside of his underwear, over his jutting erection, I circle the tip of his cock, waiting for him to audibly react—with a delicious grunt—before I innocently ask, “Did you want more children?”

His whole body reacts with a hard shudder. He sucks in a breath. “It wasn’t an option.”

“That’s not an answer.” I slide my hand lower again so I can squeeze all of him. Except I can’t, because he’s too big.

He’s breathing so hard as he catches my wristand pulls my hand off him. “It was lonely. Being a single dad. And I wasn’t drawn to anyone before…”

God, I love the sound of how that thought trails off. My breasts feel heavy, my nipples are tight.

Maybe what we needed was just a bit of darkness to shake out all the rioting thoughts we weren’t sure we could share.

Except, of course, wecanshare these thoughts with each other.

I think I can tell Hunter literally anything.

But before I can spill my next thought, he’s pulling me on top of him. “Cara, you have your whole life ahead of you.“

What a noble, lovely, silly man. I nod as I try to arrange myself on top of him. A noble, lovely, silly, giant man. “You don’t want to trap me.”

He laughs under his breath and settles his hands on my hips, guiding me to straddle him. Teaching me how to rock against his cock. “That’s the thing. I want to trap you so hard it scares me. You make me possessive. You make me irrational.”

I’m panting now. “Logic and rational thought are important to you.”

“Usually. Yes.” Even through my underwear, he knows exactly where to give me friction, where to make his hard cock strain up against me.

“So if I told you that I’m not on birth control…”

His hands move to my ass. Squeezing. Pulling. He flexes beneath me. “Cara…”

“I want you inside me, Hunter.”
