Page 62 of Every Bit As Perfect
I snorted but looped my arms around his neck.His chest felt good pressed to mine.I was developing an addiction for his hugs, and with our height difference, this was the only way to indulge.
Still, I couldn’t make it easy for him.
“Why are you always picking me up?”
“It saves my neck.”He leaned back and grinned at me.“And it’s easier to pick you up and carry you.We spend less time arguing this way.”
I opened my mouth to retort but he cut me off with a mock glare.“Anyway, I’ve decided to move on to plan B, which is to get you out of your clothes, and your head, as soon as possible.”
I blinked.“I think we should revisit plan A.It definitely has some merit.”
It was a weak protest at best.Because pressed close to him like that?I had a difficult time listening to my overactive brain.
“We’ll do plan A another day,” he acquiesced.
As he stepped over the threshold to my bedroom, I hung up a mental closed sign and shut out everything but the man in front of me.
If I was going to do this, and I was fully committed to doing it, I would enjoy it.
He sat me down on the bed.
I bounced back up and headed for the door.
“Where are you going?”He laughed, his hands on his hips.
I turned back and saucily widened my eyes at him as I flipped the light off.
“Oh, Harley,” he reprimanded softly.“You’re going to make this easy for both of us.”
I wasn’t sure what he meant but easy sounded good.I walked back and placed my hands lightly on his lean waist.Looking up into his eyes, I smiled.“Easy is good.Especially this first time.I’ve never had chocolate sprinkles.”
His brow furrowed.“Chocolate sprinkles?”
I shrugged.“Yeah.You know.Vanilla…chocolate sprinkles…”
He burst out laughing and tossed me onto the bed.“I’m not giving you any sprinkles tonight.”
Disappointment stabbed me.“Why not?”
Crawling onto the bed, he grabbed my ankles firmly and spread my legs wide before settling his body snugly between them, my heat pressed tightly against his abdomen.
I blinked.That alone was spicier than I’d ever had.
Caged in by his elbows on either side of my head, my hands resting lightly on his ribs, I stared up at him.
He studied me.“Even that is new.”
I swallowed.“You see too much.”
“I promise you, I’ll try harder than I ever have before to see everything.”His thumbs caressed the hair at my temples.“I want to make it so good for you, Harley.I want to give you everything you want, and more than you ever thought you needed.”
“Right this minute, I just really need you to kiss me,” I whispered.

Fine Line
“Ineedthattoo,”hemuttered.Dipping his head, he trailed his lips along the line of my jaw to my throat.
