Page 74 of Hiding Forever

He chuckles. “Is that a trick question?”

I kiss his lips but don’t try for more in case he doesn’t want to taste himself in my mouth. As soon as I move away, he cups the back of my head and tugs me in for a deep kiss. Guess he doesn’t mind.

Never did I imagine he’d be like this. He’s kind and caring and thoughtful. I assumed any sexual act with him would be similar, and although he is very attentive to my body and needs, the touch of control he exhibits, his confidence, and lack of inhibitions are like secret weapons. You don’t just date a guy like Riley—you marry him.

I stifle a gasp at my train of thought.Marriage? Where did that come from?

“Nova,” Riley says on a sigh. “You just blew my mind.”

“I believe it was your dick, but we can call it your mind if you want.”

He cracks up, his teeth on full display, his abs contracting—make that every muscle in his perfect body. He looks beautiful, sexy, better than I imagined…add in the deep sound of his raspy voice when he laughs, and damn. Until this moment, I didn’t realize how much trouble I could be in when it comes to Riley and my fragile heart.
