“Because you were about to say something mean about yourself, and you know that’s not allowed.”

Oh. Right.

Yikes. He was really serious about that?

“And right now, I want to do other things to your body . . .”

Reaching around her, he undid her bra. “Not going too fast?”

She shivered. “Nope. You’re not going fast enough.”

He smiled as he slid off her bra. “You can stop me at any time by saying red. Okay?” He was watching her carefully like he expected her to fall apart at any moment.

She wasn’t going to do that.

At least not at this moment.

“I want this. I want you. I know I had some doubts . . . some fears, but it was never about how much I wanted you. How much I desired you.” She could feel herself blushing.

“So sweet. I’m going to take my time with you.”

“Nooo,” she said. “That’s so mean.”

“I want to savor this. Learn every part of you. My beautiful, amazing, clever girl.”

“I like how you see me,” she whispered. It was hard for her to see herself as beautiful or amazing. Definitely not clever. “Some days, it feels like I’m hanging off a cliff with one hand clinging on, my feet dangling, and the world is far below me.”

He stilled, watching her.

“And the worst part is that I don’t know whether to use my other hand to hold on . . . or just let go.”

Corbin grasped her face between his hands, glaring down at her. The expression on his face was so fierce that it took her breath away. “You always hold on, understand me? You hold on and you wait for me. Because I am coming for you. I am going to help you up.”

“Because you’re my hero.”

“Because I’m yours. And you’re mine. And we’re there for each other. No matter what. You know that, right?”

“I do. But sometimes I might need reminding.”

“Then that’s what I’ll do.”

“Totally ruined the moment, didn’t I?” she tried to joke.

“Hey, I want you to always tell me about these thoughts, all right? And nothing could ruin this moment.” He kissed her again. Only, this time, it was savage. Intense. So unlike his previous kisses that it took her breath away.

A murmur of need escaped her.

Bending down, he took her breast into his mouth, sucking on it. Oh wow!

Then he licked her nipple, before biting it gently. It was too much. She ran her fingers through his short hair, wanting more, needing him to touch her all over.

To take her.

It had been so long since she’d had an orgasm that wasn’t one she’d given herself.

He grabbed her yoga pants and pulled them down along with her panties. She quickly raised her bottom so he could get them off.

Holy heck.
