He shifted and pushed her gently onto her back, looking down into her radiant expression. “I’m not one to run from challenge or allow a little mess to keep me from what I want. You should know that I want this to continue too. I want to make love to you as often as you’ll let me. Sometimes not every question needs an answer, so let’s enjoy this. I’d never hurt you. Ever. In that you can believe, and maybe learn to trust me.”

She placed her hand against his chest, not to push him away, but to connect them. “I wasn’t implying that you would hurt me, but I only want you to know that I’m not placing any expectations on us. It seems many times in my life I’ve taken a step forward, only to take two steps back.”

One thing was for damned sure, Seth realized he was going to go through hell and back before all was said and done. He could see her bottom lip pucker and he wanted to kiss away her doubts and concerns. “Here’s a proposition, sweetheart. Stay here with me and let me treat you like you deserve. Let’s move forward on the project and let’s see where we go from there Mountains can’t be moved overnight.”

“Okay.” She threaded her fingers into his hair. “Something is rising to the occasion.” She chuckled.

He blew out a long breath, slid to his side, and pulled her along with him. “Rising hasn’t been a problem when it comes to you. It seems that part has a mind of its own.”

“I won’t complain. Parts of me have been triggered nonstop these days too. I’ve even masturbated more since I’ve been here than ever in my life.”

He gritted his teeth. “This talk is only making things harder, if you know what I mean.” He wanted her. When didn’t he?

“I have an idea. You did say “go with the flow”, and it seems such a waste not to use this.” She swept her hand under the sheet to his naked body and wrapped her fingers around his semi-hard shaft. He sucked in a breath and within a millisecond, he felt his cock harden between her fingers.

“Aren’t you sore?” he asked in concern.

“Sore with need. There’s a medicine that I know can help.”

“You’re a witch, my love.” He swatted her on the behind where his shirt had ridden up her delightful thighs. “And for God’s sake, I’m not complaining.”
