Page 61 of You Kissed Me First

I don’t think anyone has ever done something so ridiculous to make me happy.

Yet he did.

“Okay. What time are you booking it for?” I ask, looking down at Dominic.

Instead of laying normally, he laid across the bed with his head in my lap. I’ve been running my hand along his scalp, but I think he’s fallen asleep.

“Eight. It’s formal night, so dress pretty. I want to get a group photo.”

“Sounds like a plan. We will meet you up there.”

Once we hang up, I look at the time. It’s five now, so we have plenty of time. I’ll need about an hour to get ready. I won’t need to take a shower since I’ve already taken one this morning and we didn’t do anything that would require it. I’ll still need some time to curl my hair and pin it up. Then I’ll keep the makeup light.

I’m lost in my thoughts when Dominic moves, turning to face me. His eyes are closed as he pushes his arm under my legs, hugging me as if I’m a pillow. His face is right there at the apex of my thighs, making my body tense. His warm breath against my stomach has my mind in a flurry.

If only he were awake. Then maybe things could go further. He would slide his hand up the inside seam of my shorts, easily finding me wet and ready. Maybe he would even use his tongue again.

My body shivers with the memory.

Could I?

Deciding to go with my gut, I run my hand from Dominic’s hair down to his shoulder, then his chest. It’s a bit of a stretch in our current position, but I manage to pull the hem of his shirt up, showing me those mouthwatering abs I’m in love with.

I let my hand memorize them while my other hand is still playing with his hair. My whole body is hot as I consider my next move.

“You didn’t have to stop.”

The sudden sound of his voice makes me jump. He only chuckles.

“I don’t mind if you feel on my body. Actually, I really like it.”

His eyes are still closed, but he’s smiling.

“I, um…” I trail off.

He pops his eyes open. He still looks sleepy.

“You figured I was asleep so you could explore my body? I can pretend to go back to sleep if you want. I’d even be willing to get naked for you.”

My cheeks burn with embarrassment. This was stupid. Did I really think I could wake him up for some afternoon nookie?

He moves then, his hand slipping up between my thighs.

“No need to be embarrassed, doll. I’ll never mind being woken up with your hands on my body.”

My breathing starts to come faster as he moves his hands higher up my inner leg. I spread them a little wider, needing this.

Needing him.

He peeks up at me, smiling before closing his eyes again.

“You know, I am dying to taste you again.”

I swallow hard before responding, “What are you waiting for then?”

His eyes are open then, looking at me with surprise. I don’t think he expected me to take him up on his offer, but I want to. I need to.

Suddenly he is off of me. My eyes widen, embarrassment flooding me at his rejection. I watch him as he tears off his T-shirt before lying on his back. Then he pats his chest.
