Page 89 of River
River looked down, a bit of color showing in her cheeks. “I found a picture of you online.”
I knew what picture she was talking about. It was from an article I’d written about dog psychology.
“That picture helped me when I had to do my solo exercises.”
My eyebrows rose up and a smile flirted with the edges of my mouth. “You fantasized about me?”
“All the time.”
Pride and hunger for her made me bite her neck a little. “Then I won’t feel bad about how many times I’ve masturbated to your videos.”
She made a sound of mirth.
“I’ll never overstep your boundaries again.” I kissed her forehead. “I’ll be as patient as you want me to.”
“You didn’t do anything wrong. I really wanted you that night, Noah.” Her voice was soft like silk as she leaned in and kissed my jawline. “I still want you.”
I stayed very still. “Are you asking me to make love to you tonight?”
“Yes.”
“That’s not a good idea.”
“You think I’ll freak out again.”
“I just got you back. I’m not taking the chance so soon.”
River slid her hand down my body, and her smile widened when she felt my hard erection. “Please.”
“Can’t we just do the other things we did in Bali?”
“No. I’ve waited long enough, and I’m ready to make love to you.”
“River, I don’t know.” It was hard to concentrate when she stroked her soft hand up and down my cock. “How can you be sure you won’t freak out again?”
“Because I’ve had time to mentally prepare by making love to you in my mind plenty of times already. Take off your briefs.”
I did what she asked.
“Do you have a condom?”
“Yes, but…” I shook my head.
“Where is it?”
“The condom? Are you sure this is what you want?”
“Yes. One hundred percent.”
With a mix of excitement and fear, I got out of bed to find the condom and stopped by her handbag. “Are your car keys in here?”
“Yes, why?”
“I’m taking them. That way, you can’t run out of here and leave if you freak out. You’ll be forced to stay and talk to me.”
River sat up and pointed to her small leather bag. “Take them.”
I stood naked with my massive pointing erection while fishing out her car keys. “Close your eyes.”
