LILA

Igot up quietly, tiptoeing around as I put the coffee on. As much as I adored Hawk's company, I did want some time alone. My long Sunday morning bath was a ritual I loved.

Back at my parents' home, one of the maids would draw a bath and fuss around with various fragrances, trying to anticipate what I wanted, not realizing that what I truly desired was to do things for myself.

As I filled the tub, I drizzled in a bit of vanilla shampoo, which basically did the job of a bubble bath. Money was super tight since I had only been able to make one withdrawal against my father's credit card before leaving. I was too afraid to use it again, for fear he might track me.

Lighting a couple of cheap supermarket candles, I slipped lazily into the bath with my coffee mug beside me.

Heaven. Peace. Tranquility.

Except that my mind was whirling every time I thought of Hawk.

Last night's kiss had shaken me to the core. I'd always assumed that I would date someone for quite a while before I would consider getting physical.

With Hawk, everything was instant. I didn't think, I felt.

I heard footsteps around the apartment, and a few clinks as he poured himself a coffee. Then silence again. Knowing he was out there while I was luxuriating naked under the bubbles made me giggle.

There was a tap at the door. "Hey, Lila, are you going to be very long?"

"I'm in the bath."

There was a low chuckle. "Just give me a second to imagine that."

I could picture his handsome grin on the other side of the door.

"I was thinking of getting an extra bookshelf for the living room," he said. "I just found one online that would look perfect, but it comes in two colors and the sale is only on for today. Can I reach my phone in and show you?"

From the angle of the tub, he wouldn't have to open the door very far to be able to see me completely. But since I'd already gotten a good look at him, I couldn't help feeling that he would think that fair was fair.

"I swear I won't peek," he added.

He might have been lying. Yet I didn’t care. I wanted him to see me. I wanted him to feel total desire when he looked at me.

Hawk obviously thought that I was a shy little girl. What if, just for today…I wasn't? What if I tried on the persona of an outgoing woman, to see what it felt like?

Standing up, I hoped that he didn't hear my voice shaking as I said, "Come on in."

The door opened and a phone floated in as he reached it toward me. "White wood or dark?"

I was shocked that he didn't actually peek in. It made me want him even more. "I'm not sure. You'd better come in so I can get a proper look."

"Okay…" he said slowly, sticking his head around the edge of the door.

His mouth fell open, then he froze. Having his eyes drinking in my wet, naked figure made my heart speed up while my stomach tightened. My nipples hardened into points, and not just because I was slightly chilly. Then Hawk's eyes met mine, and I ran my tongue along my lower lip.

His phone clattered to the floor as he lunged for me, grabbing a towel and scooping me up in his arms. In a flash I was carried out and laid across his bed, as his lips sucked gently at my breasts.

"Tell me to stop and I'll put you right back in the tub," he growled. "Otherwise, I need to eat this luscious pussy right now."

How was a girl supposed to respond to that?

Lacking words, I simply let my thighs fall open as his hand slid down my stomach. My fingers tangled in his thick hair as he kissed my breasts, slowly switching from one to the other before nibbling a trail lower.

His strong hands spread my thighs wide as he settled between them, staring at my damp, naked flesh. He looked up to meet my eyes, and I gave him a single nod.

Then I gasped as his tongue dove straight through my center. Although it felt like Hawk was genuinely starving for me, his movements were slow and gentle. Every single touch made me feel cared for. Adored.
