Page 141 of Kiss Me in the Dark
My eyes widen as I glare at him, swatting his shoulder.“What?”
He laughs, dodging my half-hearted smack.“I’m serious.That was one of the best I’ve had in a long time.”
I bite my lip, suddenly shy.“Shut up.”
Fox grins but tilts his head, studying me.“What’s on your mind?”
“It’s… embarrassing,” I admit, unable to meet his eyes.
“Sex,” he says simply, his voice teasing but not mocking.
My heart races as I look away, my cheeks burning.
“You know,” he continues, his tone soft, “for a guy who’s never done it before, you’re pretty eager.”
“Shut up,” I groan, burying my face in my hands.
Fox laughs again, his hand rubbing soothing circles on my back.“Look, I’m glad I’m going to be your first.But we don’t have to rush anything.I’ll take my time with you.”
I nod, his words comforting but also nerve-wracking.“I think I should be the one worried.You’ve never… you know…” I trail off, unsure how to phrase it.
Fox chuckles.“If it makes you feel better, I’ve had anal sex before.With girls.”
“Oh.”
“Don’t overthink it.It was fine.But with you, it’ll be better.It’s going to take some prep, though—don’t want you hurting.”
“I figured,” I say softly, glancing up at him.“Aren’t you uncomfortable?”
Fox tilts my chin up, his gaze locking with mine.“You mean talking about gay sex with my boyfriend should make me uncomfortable?Not in the slightest.If anything, it turns me on.”
His voice lowers as he leans closer, his breath brushing my lips.“I think about you sweaty, naked, beneath me—or on top of me, riding me—and our lips locked in an intense make-out.There’s so much I want to do to you, Cam.So much.”
My heart races, my palms sweating as I lean in, unable to resist any longer.I kiss him, and he kisses me back—slow, deep, and consuming.
When we finally pull apart, his lips curl into a mischievous grin.“Let’s go somewhere.”
I don’t ask where.I just follow.Because for him, I’d go anywhere.

Feelings
Foxdrivesdownagravel road, and I’ve been unusually quiet the entire ride.I don’t know where we’re going, and he hasn’t said anything.I don’t bother to ask either.Instead, I let the rhythm of the tires crunching over the gravel fill the silence.
His fingers trail lazily over my thigh, sending sparks up my spine.When he glances over at me, there’s a soft smile on his face.
“Are you nervous?”he asks, his voice light, teasing.
“Is this a surprise date?”I reply, peeking out the window.On either side of us are endless trees and chirping birds.The calmness is striking, the kind of peace you don’t realize you need until you’re in the middle of it.
“You’d know it’s a date without me telling you, babe.”He smirks.“I’m just taking you out of the apartment for a bit.”
I nod, not pressing further.A few minutes later, Fox pulls up outside a cabin nestled near a sparkling lake.The air is fresh, the water glistens in the afternoon sun, and the entire scene looks like something out of a postcard.
“Wow,” I breathe, stepping out of the car.The sheer tranquility of the place leaves me awestruck.Birds chirp melodiously in the distance, and the light breeze feels like it’s washing away the remnants of the hectic week.
Fox shuts his car door and walks to the porch, glancing over his shoulder at me.“It’s beautiful, isn’t it?”
