I still, lifting my head so I can meet her gaze, my fingers trailing over the skin I’ve bared, unable tonottouch her. “Did you change your mind?”

“About what?” Her eyebrows are gathered into a tight frown, her eyes slightly glazed, as though she’s struggling to make sense of my question.

“About the kissing.”

Lips parting on a shuddering breath, she shakes her head. “I didn’t change my mind.”

“You want me to kiss you?”

A jerky nod.

I press my lips to her abdomen again. “Here?”

“No,” she whispers. “I mean, yes, but no. Notjustthere.”

I shift, dragging the material up, drawing it over her breasts, exposing her bra. And immediately, I want to forget about teasing, about making it up to her. I want to strip her naked, get my mouth on those tits, and fuck her hard and deep and fast.

“Lace?” I ask, holding tight to my control as I trace a finger along the scalloped edge of her bra.

“It’s pretty,” she murmurs, those tits bouncing because she’s breathing rapidly now. “I like pretty things.”

I grin at her. “Me too.”

Up and down. Up and down. Up and down. I follow the curves along one breast and then the other.

“So,” I say, “about the kissing…”

“Y-yes?”

“Here?” I ask, dragging my finger in, circling one taut bud of her nipple.

“Yes,” she whispers. “And no.”

“I like this game.” I draw the shirt over her head, toss it to the side, then run my fingers along her throat.

“Here?”

A jerky nod, but I see the moment she fully commits to this. Her eyes heat, her lips part, and mischief creeps into her expression. “Yes. But also no.”

I stroke a finger along her jaw, lift my brows in question.

“Yes.” A beat. “No.”

Her ear.

She smiles now. Shakes her head.

Same for her cheeks. Her forehead. Her nose.

“Hmm,” I drawl. “Where am I forgetting?”

“Royal?”

“Yeah, Shortcake?”

But she doesn’t respond—at least not with words. Instead, she threads her fingers through the hairs on my nape and draws my head down.

Our lips meet and before I can take over, she parts my mouth with her lips, slips her tongue into my mouth and lays a kiss on me that’s so intense, I’m seeing stars. Maybe that’s because all the blood in my body is currently in my dick.
