My fingers graze over his crotch. I let out a soft gasp, surprised to find him rock hard already. My lips pop open.
Ozan’s rough fingers are on my hand in a heartbeat, stopping me from going further.
He’s rejecting me, and that’s within his right. I’ll accept it gracefully, yet my heart plummets with a realization.
This truly was a way of repaying his debt, and it wasn’t for me. It was more.
“I need to close the shop,” he says. “Go upstairs and wait for me.”
Hope returns.
I’m a mess. He has me all over the place—emotionally. One moment, I’m riddled with anxiety and sure he doesn’t want me. The next, I’m soaring.
“Okay.” My voice trembles. “I’ll wait upstairs.”
OZAN
Juniper is surprisingly obedient. How she nods and scurries up to my studio apartment makes my pants tighter. I watch her from behind as she disappears, unleashing a heavy sigh only once she’s gone.
Someone could have walked in on us. I should know better. My reputation in Starbrook would have been destroyed.
I’m willing to do crazy things for Juniper. I would assume she was trying to get the shop shut down, but… she’s been different lately. So have I. We’ve been helping each other out instead of competing.
My hands shake as I stomp up the stairs, and butterflies flap in my stomach. I can’t remember the last time I was this nervous about tangling with someone, but…
It’s been a while. Juniper is difficult to please—or so I would have assumed. The assumption was wrong. She unraveled under my fingers so fast.
“It’s me!” I call into the studio apartment as I step inside.
The words are meant to be a warning, but it seems she doesn’t need one. Juniper is fully nude in the middle of my kitchen.
My jaw drops. I’m already hard from touching her, but as my eyes wander down her abundant body, my pants are uncomfortably tight.
Her belly is round and soft, as are her thick, creamy thighs. Even the plushness of her upper arms is enticing. Her nipples are stiff, pink peaks in the center of large, round breasts. I want to taste them and feel how she squirms beneath me when I do.
My eyes draw to the curve of her waist, down to her wide hips.
Finally, I meet her eyes. Behind her confidence, there’s a waver.
“Is this okay?” she asks.
I’ve never seen her so unsure of herself. The blush on her face spreads from her cheeks to her chest, and I sigh softly.
“It’s too much,” she says, shaking her head.
“No, no. Never too much.” I touch the front of my pants, absentmindedly rubbing myself as I step closer. My pleasure coils in me, and I know I’ll need release soon. “You look… fuck, you look so good.”
I want to call her beautiful, but I’m unsure if she wants to hear it. Her being here at all is surprising. I can’t believe she’s blessing me with the vision of her perfect body.
Her delicate fingers grip my wrist. She moves my hand away from my bulge.
“This is for me,” she says, grabbing me through my pants. “Mine.”
I groan, rolling my eyes. She doesn’t mean it like I want her to. Juniper doesn’t want any part of me to behers. It doesn’t matter. I can’t convince my body otherwise.
“All yours,” I mumble.
She undoes my buttons with skillful fingers, andI rip off my shirt. She’s naked. I want her to be comfortable. Getting undressed with her should do the trick.
