Dex grabs my hips and turns us to the side and backs me up against the window. “But then I think about all the ways I could do these things with you. All the ways I could make you scream my name. All the ways I want to worship that damn light of yours that you somehow can’t see. I fucking live to see your light, Lucie. It’s taking over every fiber of my being.
“I know you said you don’t want to be with someone who tries to dim your light, or turn it into their own…but that’s not what’s happening here. Baby, I want yours. I want it so fucking badly, but I know I shouldn’t.”
All of the breath is knocked out of me as his eyes peer into mine. I can physically see him struggling to hold back.
Not leaning in to make the first move has tobe one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. I have to let him lead this if it’s ever going to work.
I don’t want to be Dex’s regret or something he blames himself over, but he has to want this—he has to want us enough.
I suck in a small breath as Dex tucks a strand of my hair behind my ear then trails his hand back down my jaw.
“Dex…” I breathe out.
“Tell me we shouldn’t do this, Luce. Tell me to stop.”
That I won’t do. My heart continues to beat out of my chest, but I try to keep my voice as calm as possible. “Dex, I have all the patience in the world, but I’m not going to lie to you. If you want to kiss me, do it when you’re ready because I want you just as badly.”
“I don’t know if I’ll be able to stop,” Dex whispers as his hands cup my face.
I stare deep into those eyes—the longing is practically written all over his face. He needs something to push him over the edge. I won’t make the first move, but if he wants reassurance that I’m just as much in this as he is, I can give him that.
“Then maybe you don’t. I trust you, Dex. I like being on your team.”
Dex’s hands tense against my cheeks, but then he pulls me in close. “Fuck it.”
Chapter 29
Dex
Kissing Lucie is my point of no return. There’s no denying that every single thread has effectively broken.
Our lips move in tandem with each other. Each pass of my tongue pulls a small whimper out of her. Fuck, is there a way I can bottle up this sound?
One of my hands moves down to the small of her back while the other threads behind her head so I can pin her up against the window and deepen this incredible kiss.
Lucie lifts one leg and hooks it around my hip. I reach for the other leg and lift her the rest of the way up so they both can wrap around my waist.
Her dress bunches up, and I can’t help but travel my hands across her smooth skin to grip her ass. “You in fucking yellow, baby. It’s quickly becoming my favorite color.”
“I’ll wear it whenever you want,” Lucie pants out as she pulls me back in for a demanding kiss.
“Just know that whenever you do, it’s going to end up on the floor of my bedroom.” I’ve got her pinned at just the rightangle, and when I press into her deeper, she lets out a muffled moan.
I kiss down Lucie’s neck as she tightens her legs around me and starts to rotate her hips. “Please, Dex, give me more.”
“I want to give you everything, baby.” I kiss back up to her jaw and pepper the kisses slowly. “It’s been fucking terrifying.”
Lucie’s hands find my face, and she brings my eyes to meet hers. “I’m still not afraid of you, Coach. Give it to me. I can take it.”
“Fuck, Luce.” I give her one more slow kiss before I pull her away from the window, and I carry her back inside to my room. I’m tempted to take her to the couch, but I meant what I said. I want this dress on my bedroom floor.
I want every stitch of clothing off her body and not to be put back on for the rest of the night. I want her sweet jasmine scent to take over my pillows. I want her lying back on my bed completely bare for me, and I want to get every orgasm I can out of her.
I damn near kick my door open at the thought.
When I reach the edge of the mattress, I hold her there for just a moment. “Tell me again that you want this.”
Lucie places her delicate hands on either side of my face. “Dex, I want this. And not just for that list either. I told you those things are for me. I want this for us.”
