She nods against my chest, completely drained. Good, she’ll get another good night’s sleep.
As I’m washing us off in the shower, she reaches up and holds my face in her hands. “I’m dangerously close to falling in love with you,” she whispers.
My heart beats a crazy little tune at her admission, but I know exactly how she feels because I feel it too. I’ve never felt this connected to anyone before.
“I warn you, once you fall you’ll be stuck with me forever, because I’ll never let go.”
She lays her head against my chest. “Does that mean you’re falling too?”
“I already tripped and fell the day I saw your pretty smile on the beach.”
Chapter Nineteen
Daisy
Something happened to me upstairs. Brody may have had my body restrained, but he set my soul free. He reached in and grabbed my darkness, dragging it kicking and screaming to the surface.
Once it was out in the open, he stared it down. He didn’t flinch. He matched it step for step. A dance I didn’t know I needed.
I watch as he pulls food out of the fridge.
“Drink,” he orders, giving me a stern look. “You’re going to need to replenish those fluids. I don’t want you dehydrating on me.”
I bring the bottle to my lips, taking a long drink. Fuck, water has never tasted so good.
“Well, you’re the one depleting me.”
He smiles wide, winking at me. “That’s my job, but you haven’t seen anything yet.”
My thighs clench, because good lord, how much more could there be?
“That was intense,” I admit honestly.
He picks me up and carries me to bed. “I’ll be right back.” A few minutes later, he returns with the tray of food.
Once we’re settled, he returns his focus back to me. “It was intense. I was pushing you pretty hard. Why didn’t you tap out?”
I shrug, popping a grape in my mouth. “It wasn’t more than I could handle. I trusted you.”
My answer seems to satisfy him, but his face turns serious. “I really want you to use that safety line when you need it. I love that you trust me, and I am watching you closely, but I need to be able to trust you too.”
“I understand that.”
“Good, because if we’re going to continue playing like that, we need to communicate at a really high level.”
“Did, I mean, am I … are you enjoying it?”
He wraps his hand around my neck and pulls me close. “I’ve never enjoyed anything more.”
It makes me giddy, but I’m still a little disbelieving. “Are you sure? I know I’m so inexperienced.”
This makes him chuckle. “I think you and I had practice in another dimension or something, because fuck, we’re amazing together.” He gives me a quick kiss on the lips before releasing me.
We continue to talk about our likes and dislikes. I don’t really know what my dislikes are because I haven’t experienced much. Brody doesn’t seem to mind.
“All I know is I like it when you’re in control. When you lead. It feels safe, yet exciting.”
He runs his hand up and down my spine, and I don’t think I’ve ever been so relaxed. “I like to dominate in the bedroom. I love that you trust me to take care of you.”
