“But, I thought…”

“Thought what?”

“That you’d want to. After what happened at the stadium.”

Ah. So that’s what this is about. She thinks because we got hot and heavy earlier, I expect us to go all the way tonight.

“What happened was amazing. Being with you like that was a fucking dream come true.”

Her lips curve into a hint of a smile. Good.

“But that doesn’t mean we have to go farther tonight. Or anytime soon.”

Lil nods, some of the tension leaving her body. “So…”

“So, how about you let me make you feel good tonight.” I graze my teeth over the tender skin of her throat, and she lets out the sweetest little moan.

Invitation accepted.

My hands skim under her shirt, caressing the silky skin of her back. “Tell me if you want me to stop.”

She gives a slight nod, eyes closed, lips parted.

My fingers trail up her spine until they brush the clasp of her bra. I pause, giving her a chance to object. When she remains pliant in my arms, I unhook her bra and slip my hands underneath the loosened cups.

Her breath hitches as I palm her breasts, her nipples pebbling against my touch. I roll one between my fingers, drawing another delicious moan from her lips.

Fuck, the sounds she makes drive me wild.

“You like that, princess?”

“Mmm, yes,” she breathes.

I walk her backward until her knees hit the edge of the bed. Slowly, I ease her down onto the mattress, placing kisses across her collarbone.

I lift her shirt up and off, then reach behind to fully remove her bra. Fuck, the sight of her bare breasts makes my dick throb against my zipper. I have to rein myself in before I lose control.

Lil flushes under my stare, her hands coming up in a futile attempt to shield herself. I catch them gently but firmly, pinning them above her head. “Don’t hide from me. You’re beautiful. Every inch of you.”

She swallows hard but doesn’t protest further, her eyes locked on mine. I keep her hands pinned in place as I take one rosy nipple into my mouth, sucking as my fingers continue teasing the other. The sounds falling from her lips are driving me out of my fucking mind.

“Sebastian.”

I can’t get enough of her. The taste of her skin is like a drug, and I’m fucking addicted. No going back now.

I lavish the same attention on her other breast, teasing and sucking until she’s writhing beneath me. Only then do I release her hands in favor of gliding mine lower over her body, fingers dancing along the waistband of her skirt. I raise my head to look at her questioningly. Her eyes are dark with desire, pupils blown wide.

“Please,” she whispers.

Fuck, yes. Hearing her beg for me is the sweetest torture.

I take off my shirt before kissing my way down her stomach and slipping her skirt off her legs. She’s bare before me now. And God, she’s fucking perfect.

“So beautiful, and all mine.” Slowly, reverently, I part her legs, baring her glistening pussy.

She observes me through half-lidded eyes, teeth sinking into her plump lower lip. Fuck, I can’t wait a second longer.

I lower my mouth, eager to taste her. The first brush of my tongue against her slick folds makes her arch off the bed with a strangled cry.
