I let out a shaky sigh. “I need you.”
Robbie stops moving, sitting up some to look at my face. “All of me?” he breathes.
I stare into his eyes, nodding firmly as I reach for the button on his jeans. “All of you. Please.”
I just get his button undone when Robbie places his hand over mine, stopping me. “Cooper, hold on a second.” He slowly removes his fingers from inside of me, and I instantly let out a weak sigh at the loss.
“Why?” I ask, squirming against the hold of his hand and new uncomfortable emptiness within me.
“Baby,” Robbie utters. “Please, look at me.”
Something in his voice makes me listen, and I tilt my head back to look at him, all of the boldness I had mustered up quickly dissipating when I meet his concerned eyes.
“Are you sure?” Robbie asks gently.
I roll my lips into my mouth. “Yes.”
Robbie’s brows pinch, his face looking like he’s deep in thought. Or maybe even pain.
“What’s wrong?” I ask him.
My question seems to snap him out of whatever trance he’s in, and he leans down to press a kiss to my forehead. “Nothing, baby. For once, absolutely nothing.”
“Then what is it?”
“I just…” Robbie trails off. “You can’t get this back. I just want to make sure it’s what you really want. I want it to be perfect for you.”
“Hey,” I say, wrapping my hand around his cheek and making him look at me. “This is what I want.You.” Robbie blows out a breath, leaning into my touch. “And even if it’s not perfect,” I add, making his eyes widen, “I want it anyway.”
Robbie smiles, grabbing my face in both of his hands and pressing his lips to mine gently. “Okay, Cooper. Then you got me.”
He sits up slowly reaching into his back pocket and pulling out his wallet. He opens it up, pulling out a square foil packet and tossing it and his wallet just off to the side.
I see the shallow rise and fall of his chest and reach up, laying my hand flat against it and feeling the rapid thumping beneath.
“Your heart,” I whisper. “It’s racing.”
Robbie covers my hand with his, wrapping his fingers around it. “Yeah, thanks a lot.” I cock my head to the side. “You did that to me,” he says.
I smile, reaching for his other hand and placing it over my heart. “You did that to me too.”
A breath of silence stretches between us, our gazes locked and heart rates picking up by the second. And then, slowly, as if we’ve communicated to each other what we’re about to do without words, our joined hands on Robbie’s chest start trailing down, over his abs, through the thin patch of hair on his lower stomach, and past the place where his jeans are unbuttoned. Our fingers find his zipper, pulling it down a notch at a time until the pressure breaks, his hard length jutting out behind the confines of his briefs.
Robbie lets out a gentle sigh of relief at the release, gripping himself through his underwear. I follow his lead, tracing the length of him through the thin fabric before giving him a gentle squeeze. The groan that comes from Robbie has me reaching for the waistband of his open jeans, shoving them down over his hips. He helps me, rocking side to side, helping to force them down.
Once he has the denim pooled around his knees, he immediately turns his attention back on me, catching me off guard by leaning forward and capturing my lips with his before pressing hot wet kisses all down the side of my neck and across my chest until I’m worked up and panting again.
I reach down between us, dipping my fingers into the top of his briefs. “Can I…”
My question fades out as Robbie nods frantically into my chest.
I only manage to wrap my hand around the base of him and give him one firm pull before Robbie’s snapping upwards, forcing his underwear down and freeing himself. He grips himself, shaking his head. “Jesus, Cooper, I…”
“What, Robbie?” I breathe.
He blows out a heated breath, gripping me by the back of the neck and pulling me up so that I’m eye to eye with him. “I’m gonna ask you one more time if you’re sure. Because I feel like if I’m not inside of you in the next minute, I might die.”
My throat bobs. “Well, we can’t have you dying just as soon as I start to like you.”
