“You don’t have to promise,” I say, lowering my lips slowly onto hers. “I believe you.”

After I take a long, slow kiss, I push her arms against the wall above her head.

“I don’t do things halfway,” I say as I start running my fingers down her arms. “If we’re doing this, we both need to be all in. Okay?”

“Okay,” she whispers as she lets her arms fall to my shoulders.

“Nope,” I say as I push my leg harder into her. She immediately starts riding on top of it. “Arms stay up on the wall. Do you understand?”

“Quit bossing me,” she says, smiling as she pushes them back up. “I want them up here. That’s the only reason I’m doing this.”

“Okay,” I say as I start sucking on her neck.

She moans louder and arches against me, her arms slipping a little bit again. I push them back up as I start to kiss across her face. I slide my tongue into her mouth and take another long, slow kiss. She’s bucking against me like she’s riding a mechanical bull.

“Have you made up your mind yet?” I whisper into her ear and then start nibbling on it. “Do you want me to leave?”

She shakes her head quickly but doesn’t say anything.

“Well look at that,” I say, diving back down to her neck. “I finally found a way to shut you up.”
