Page 5 of You Know I Love You

Finally, she places her delicate hand into mine. I don’t think she knows what she has just done.

“Your boat is kinda cool.” I take off my coat and drape it over her shoulders. The wind coming off the water can get cold at night.

“It gets me from one place to another.”

“To another?”

“I’ll show you.” I guide her to the seat next to mine before starting up the engine. A smile pulls at her lips when I take off. When we get farther away from the dock, I take off faster, making her laugh. I slow for a second so I can reach over and lift her into my lap. She lets out a gasp.

“What are you doing?” I can see a slight panic in her eyes.

“Letting you drive.” I wrap my arm around her waist to keep her pressed to me and in my lap.

“Not sure that’s a good idea.” She turns her head to peek over her shoulder at me. “I mean, I don’t do so great behind the wheel of a car.” She bites her lip. It takes everything I have not to take her mouth with mine.

“I got you, Princess.” Willa gives a small nod, tentatively taking the wheel. I move her hand over to show her how to change the speed. It’s not long before she’s smiling and laughing again. It’s a sound I hope I will hear for the rest of my life.

“That was so awesome.” She beams when we slow back down to idle and turns slightly in my lap to face me. “No one would have ever let me do that.” Willa is practically bouncing with excitement. “I can be a bit clumsy. They barely let me in the kitchen, and the few times they tried to teach me how to drive…” She makes an adorable cringe face.

“I’ll let you drive anytime you want.”

“There are a lot of things I want to do. You know?”Me too, Princess. I think it, but I don’t say those words out loud because she’s not ready to hear all the fucked-up things I’m thinking about in my head when it comes to her.

“No, tell me.”

“Everyone just kind of keeps me in a bubble or has this idea of who I’m supposed to be. I don’t even know who I am, so how can they?”

"No one can predict what is to come." I sure as fuck never would have predicted her or the fast infatuation I'm having with her. Nor my responses.

“I just want to try different things. Do things I have never done before.” Her eyes drop to my mouth. Fuck, you’ve got to be kidding me. I knew she was pure as fresh snow, but not even a kiss? She’s trying to kill me, and I’m here for every damn second of it.

Thinking about being the first one to kiss her and slide my dick inside her sweet, tight pussy is almost more than I can take. My cock is already painfully hard.

“You want me to kiss you?” Her tongue comes out, sweeping across her bottom lip. That’s all the invitation I need. I give her exactly what she wants. The same way I will for the rest of my days.

It isn’t a light or teasing kiss. If she wants to be kissed, I am going to fucking kiss her. I take possession of her mouth, thrusting my tongue past her lips. It is a deep,I want to consume youkiss that has a shudder running through her body.

Willa doesn’t disappoint. Her surprise is short. She kisses me right back just as wildly. I sink my fingers into her hair, guiding her body to turn in my lap until she is straddling me. She goes with my every move.

Where I lead her, she quickly and blindly follows. When I release her mouth, she lets out a small gasp to catch her breath. Her swollen lips are too tempting to ignore. This time I place a soft kiss on them. As if to soothe them. I've never soothed anything in my whole life. Usually I do the exact opposite.

“Wow, that was…” I have her right where I want her.

“Only the start,” I tell her before my mouth goes right back on hers.

Chapter Four

WILLA

“Holy crap.” And here I thought this boat was badass. Now he has brought me to a freaking yacht. I really have no freaking clue who Vasily King is. Yet I gave him my first kiss. My lips still tingle. I never would have accepted a kiss like that. He didn’t just kiss me. He took possession.

“You like?”

“I mean it’s nice, I’m just surprised.” My father always had money, but it wasn’t often we left the island. He kept us tucked away here.

I’d often wondered if he was hiding us from the rest of the world. He pretended we didn’t exist for the most part, and that worked well for us all. When he did give us attention, it was never good, and my brother was always quick to take the brunt.

“It’s only a boat.” He shrugs as if it’s no big deal. Vasily doesn’t appear to be a man who would own a yacht. Two men come out to help secure us so that we can get off the speedboat. They both give me curious glances. Everyone has been doing that. "Eyes on me," Vasily snaps at them. "One of you take the boat back to the dock for the others."
