“Wait, you made that tea?”

“Well, yeah. How I got away with that lie was beyond me, but…” I trail off as she walks up to me. I’m damn near holding my breath waiting for her to say something.

She looks up at me and the silence feels palpable in this moment but then she whispers, “Why do I feel like I should be the one begging?”

It takes less than a second for those words to process and for me to haul her cute ass flush to me. Her hands fist my shirt as I kiss her again and I lose it at the sounds coming out of her.

Her hands pull around my neck and I bring her thighs back around me. Pulling her lips back for a moment she rests her forehead on mine. “Will, I still don’t know where this can take us, but I?—”

“Hey, let’s just focus on one day at a time, baby. We’ll worry about all the other shit later, but for today—for right now—I need to know where you want me to take you because I’ve been dying to exercise my right to touch you.”

Chapter 23

Callie

“My bedroom is back there,” I tell him, and a shiver runs down my spine at the anticipation of him.

Should we be doing this? Is it the healthiest decision to be making? Probably not. And will future me feel a whole lot of heartbreak when this inevitably has to end? Oh, most definitely. But I don’t care.

I was holding on so strong. I was going to let him walk away, but I needed to know when it had changed…I didn’t expect to get that answer. I knew I couldn’t let him walk out the door after that. I don’t know what tomorrow will look like but for now, I want this. I want him.

One thing is for sure—Will is a damn good kisser. He carries me back to my room all while his mouth never leaves mine.

Mouth, not lips.Will has somehow managed to get the perfect balance of kisses, tongue, and small nips with his teeth in between. Fuck, and I thought his hands were going to be the stars of the show. If this kiss is any indication…damn.

When we get to my bedroom Will lays me down and stands at the end of the bed. Feeling even more turned on by the way he’slooking at me, I can’t help arching my back a little while teasing at the hem of my dress.

“Look at you,” he rasps before picking up one of my legs and pulling my boot off. “Raise your dress, let me see you.”

Mm, communicating already. I love it. “Hey, Will,” I say as I pull my dress up ever so slowly. “I want to get on the same page before we get started.”

He drops my other boot then his eyes glide up my entire body. “Tell me, Blaze.”

“I’m going to focus on tonight for now, but before we start—first, I’m clean. I haven’t been with anyone in over a year and I’m on birth control. But I also have condoms in my nightstand drawer.”

A small smile tugs at his lips. “I’m clean too. It’s also been over a year for me, but you shouldn’t have to provide condoms, Callie. I’m supposed to do that.”

“Oh, I never count on a man to be prepared, but that rule applies in everything.”

Will shakes his head with a laugh, then to my surprise he wraps his arms around my legs, yanking me to the edge of the bed before getting on his knees. “What’s second?”

“What?” Going up on my elbows I gulp. Fuck, he looks good like this.

“You said first earlier, which usually implies there’s a second.” Will spreads my knees further apart but even though he’s level with my pussy he keeps his eyes on mine. “Tell me what’s second because I’m fucking starving.”

Oh, fuck.

“I-I,” I stumble because how could I not after that. “I like to communicate in bed. You talk, I talk. I’m not exactly quiet.”

“Oh, I’m well aware.” He smirks and I can’t be mad at the comment when he slides my dress up to my waist. “Now, is there a third thing?”

Goosebumps prickly my skin and I can’t say it’s from my newly exposed skin. I swallow and shake my head slowly.

“Oh, don’t go silent on me now.” Will plants a kiss on my inner thigh. “Where’d that communication go?” His mouth trails small kisses down my right thigh and I damn near hold my breath waiting for him to reach my center but then he moves to my left side. “Talk to me, Blaze.”

“N-no, there’s not a third,” I sputter and as the words leave my mouth, his finally comes to my panties. “Fuck. Will,” I hiss.

I immediately want to protest as he backs away but he smiles and taps on my hips for me to lift them so he can pull my underwear down. “There’s my girl, let me hear you. I told you I missed hearing your rambles.”
