“I’m…okay. A little confused and scared. But mostly okay.”

“Scared?” I nod. “Of what?”

“This.” I swallow thickly. “Of how good it feels.”

“It does feel good, doesn’t it?”

“I don’t just mean physically,” I tell him. “It’s…other ways.”

“I knew exactly what you meant.”

I drop my head, shaking it. I look at my hands pressed on his chest, curling my fingers into the hair that’s smattered across it. It feels so…normal.

“This is all so strange, Cooper,” I admit.

“I know.”

“I mean, look at us. I’m straddling you—naked, I might add—while your cock is rubbing against my ass. I’m getting wetter by the second just thinking of what transpired between us and how much I want to do it again.”

Heat blazes in his eyes, and a grin pulls at his lips.

“Well, I wasn’t going to say anything about the wet part…”

I swat at his chest. “Stop it! This isembarrassing.”

He laughs. “It’s not embarrassing for me. You’re over here lamenting on about my massive cock and all the ways I make you horny. Baby, this is heaven.”

“I never said a single word about your massive cock.”

“So you agree? You think it’s massive?”

Another blush. “Cooper…”

He shakes with laughter, gripping my hips, knowing me well enough to know I’ll try to run again if he doesn’t hold me still.

Except with where he has me trapped, I feel his cock rubbing against my ass, and I don’t think I’ll ever want to run from that.

“I’m teasing. Sort of.”

“How are you feeling?” I ask him.

“Physically?” I nod. “Like Jell-O,” he echoes.

I grin. “And emotionally?”

He sighs. “The same as you, I think. This is completely unfamiliar territory and it’s a little strange, but it also feels…”

“Natural?”

“I was going to say wet.”

I smack at him again, and he chuckles, grabbing my wrists.

“Stop hitting me.”

“Stop teasing me.”

“I wouldn’t bemeif I didn’t tease.” He sets my hands back on his chest. “And I am, Caroline. I’m still me, okay? And you’re still you. I don’t want to forget that. We have history and I don’t want to just pretend we don’t, but I also don’t want that history to get in the way of whatever’s happening here.”
