“Why are you washing my hair?” Olive asks softly.

“I just want to take care of you,” I smile. “I like taking care of you.”

Her eyes flutter closed as I massage her scalp before lathering her hair up and then rinsing it clean.

Once she’s free of suds, Olive repositions herself, straddling herself over my legs and kissing me. She starts the kiss off slowly, but it deepens quickly. I rest my arms around her lowerback, and she drapes hers around my neck. When our naked bodies press together, we’re showing more intimacy than we ever have.

That amount of intimacy makes it impossible to completely control myself, and when she accidentally grinds over me, my dick grows hard, desperate for more. More that I won’t let myself reach out and take.

“Lane…” she moans when she grinds against me again.

“Fuck…” I groan, throwing my head back.

Olive grinds one more time. This time, though, she rests her center right over the head of my cock.

One move, and I could slip inside her.

One move, and she could slide down on top of me.

“Liv…” I breathe, making sure she doesn’t take this farther than she wants to go.

She moves back, taking herself out of the dangerous position. “I’m so sorry!”

I reach out and place my hand against her cheek softly. “Nothing to be sorry about, baby.”

“I basically just teased you.”

I laugh. “Remember? I like it when you tease me.” Liv chuckles as I turn her around again and pull her back to my chest, letting her rest her head on my shoulder. “Just relax, baby. All I want to do with you right now is relax.”

She melts against me, and my heart swells.

Olive has become so comfortable with me. It’s no secret how much I want her, but she’s been showing me glimpses now of how much she wantsme.

I’ll wait forever if she needs me to because I love her without sex.

But I know it’s coming.

She intentionally put herself in that position tonight.

After everything she’s gone through, she’s almost ready… and I’m the one she wants to share that moment with.

“Snacksareready!”Ellachimes as I walk into the living room.

I laugh at the massive display laid out on the coffee table. “Ell, there are literally two of us. There’s no way we can eat all of this.”

“Leftovers, babe,” she chuckles as she snags a slice of pizza.

The Stars are about to start their season, which means it’s only Ella and me right now. The guys are all obviously getting ready to play, and the rest of the girls, including Sage, are traveling with them because of their various positions.

I grab a slice of pizza for myself before I sit down next to Ella on the sofa, tucking my legs up under me.

“It’s so funny to me that you eat olives on your pizza, Liv,” she laughs.

I pluck off a black olive from my slice and pop it into my mouth. “Lane had pretty much the same reaction. I’ve just always really liked olives, though.”
