It only makes me laugh more. When he finishes, he nods. I look at my arm and see the worst drawn spider ever along with “Dracula approved.” It’s small as shit as far as gestures go, but it means more than him signing my cast. I can’t even put it into words that wouldn’t go straight to his head and give him leverage.

And all relationships are a battleground. The first one to give loses power. If I lose any kind of power with Ash, he’ll get everything. I have so much more at stake than he does.

He feeds me a few bites of mac and cheese, then devours his own entirely. I finish mine and then sit there with him in bed, not really sure what to do. I kick my feet a little, and Ash turns my chin.

“Do you want to kiss me?”

“Sure.”

“No.” He shakes his head. “You either want to or you don’t. No gray area bullshit, Sky. You’re too good for that.”

My stomach does that squeeze thing, just like my thighs, and I nod. “Yes.”

His thick arm pulls me close, and he feasts on my mouth, licking deep, staking claim and kissing me until all I can do is suck his tongue. He groans and pulls me onto his lap, wrapping me up like I’m the only person in the world he could possibly want.

I melt against him, running my fingers through his hair, down his neck and along his shoulders. He behaves, though; his hands never leave my back or shoulder except to dip into my hair.

After telling myself not to think, I grab his hand and guide it down to my ass. Ash kisses along my jaw. “Want me to touch you here?”

“Yes,” I encourage.

He groans and uses both hands on my ass, grinding me against him. He nibbles my throat and continues grinding against me. My hips roll with his, and he pants before growling against my skin. “You’re testing my restraint, woman.”

“It should be tested.” I grab his chin, watching surprise flit across his features, then turn his head to the side so I can kiss down his neck.

I’m sure I’m terrible at it, considering it’s my first time, but Ash’s hands tighten on me, and he lets out a groan. “Use your teeth, I know you want to bite me.”

And he’s right. I dig my teeth in, and I swear I feel his cock twitch in his pants as he jerks me down tighter on him. He lets out a ragged breath, and we trade off biting, kissing, making out. I’m so close to overheating, though. I can’t think straight.

I want his hands all over me, want to know how good he can make me feel. I swear he can read my mind when he flips me back on my bed and slowly edges my shirt up. “Tell me when to stop.”

I nod slowly but watch him continue dragging it up until it pools under my chin. “Fucking hell, Sky. You’re kryptonite.”

“You can …” The rest of the sentence gets caught in my throat. But Ash waits, kissing me softly like he can pull the words from my mouth. I nod. “Take off my shorts – only my shorts.”

“You’re trying to kill me.” He narrows his eyes. “Going to give me a heart attack.”

Since he doesn’t, I do, lifting my hips and guiding my cotton shorts down so I’m only in my underwear. I tell myself it’s just like being in a swimsuit. But Ash’s eyes stroke over me like a caress, and Iknowit’s different.

“Do you have any idea how much I want you?”

I lick across my bottom lip as I take in how hard he is right now and the little tremor in his arm as his fingers knot in my shirt. I meet his eyes. “Show me.”

Chapter 13

Ashton

Fuck, I’m tempted to show her exactly how badly I want her. But I’m not pushing her limits. Considering I was Sky’s first kiss, I know she hasn’t done anything else, which means being slow, being sure, being careful.

Plus … Iwantto take my time with her.

“Sky.” I hesitate. I sit next to her instead of continuing to hover on top. “We should stop now.”

“Pussy,” she says without venom.

I stroke over her soft skin, brushing my fingers along her side before stroking just above her purple panties. A simple gray bra and unmatching panties have never been sexier. She’s gorgeous, and I know that from seeing her in a bikini, but this is something else entirely.

“I …” I don’t have the words to tell her I want to be gentle and go at her pace.
