Walker: You prefer "suck me off"?

I swallow hard.

Walker: If it's not a barked order?

Iris: I'm not sure.

Walker: What if it is?

Uh…

Heat pools between my legs. I don't get it. I don't like being ordered around.

Or maybe…

Maybe I just didn't like it with Ross.

Maybe with Walker, it's different.

We've only been together once, and I already knoweverythingis different with Walker.

Walker: I'll have to try it out.

Yes. He should try it out. We should skip all this talking.

I should invite him over.

But he's already said he has family visiting.

He's unavailable for banging.

And this… talking to him… it's nice.

Iris: You should.

Walker: What else should I do?

Iris: Throw me on the bed and take me from behind.

Walker: Next time.

Now.

Damn. It's like the coffee. I want my fix. Not the release of an orgasm. But everything that comes with sex. The smell of him, the taste of his lips, the warmth of his body against mine.

I've never wanted someone like this.

In this visceral way.

Is it sobriety?

Or is it him?

Walker: Are you panting yet?

Iris: Yes.

Walker: I'll have mercy. Change the subject.
