She shakes her head.

“I want to take you to your bedroom and strip you naked so I can finally see every inch of your gorgeous curves. Then I want to wedge my shoulders between your thighs so I can lick you until you scream my name.”

She gasps, then starts to nod, but stops herself. “Wait, I don’t wax or whatever. Down there. Because you know it’s been a no man’s land until now.”

“It’s unexplored.”

“Yeah.”

“Velma, I don’t care if you have a full-on bush down there. It’s you. I want you.”

She leads me to her bedroom. “Should I take a shower because I didn’t change before my date? I just went from work.”

“Nope,” I say.

We reach her bedroom and she toes off her shoes. “Also, I’m pretty sure my undergarments don’t match. And they’re totally utilitarian, not sexy at all.”

“You are sexy enough. I don’t give a fuck what you’re wearing.” I pull off my shirt and toss it behind me, then unfasten my jeans. I bend to pull off my boots. “Take off your clothes,” I tell her.

She moves around to the bed and pulls the covers back. Then I see her shirt come off. Then she’s peeling off those leggings. I walk towards her, letting my eyes take in the sight of her bared body.

“I’ll have you know, I think white cotton panties are the sexiest.” I run my hand down her shoulder. “And the skin-colored bra is nice too. It would be better if I could see your tits though.” I waggle my eyebrows at her.

She unhooks her bra and lets it slide off her body to the floor between us. Then she reaches for me.

“Can I touch you?” she asks.

“Fuck, Sadie. Please touch me. You don’t know how long I’ve wanted this.”

Her hands go to my pecs, her nails scraping through my chest hair.

“I like that you have body hair. You’re so masculine and manly. Makes me feel almost dainty,” she says.

I cup her tits, appreciating the weight of them against my palms. Her skin is pale and creamy, and her nipples are hard and a perfect pink.

“Someday I want to fuck these.” I press them together.

“You can do whatever you want,” she says.

“Tonight is about making you feel good. Showing you how much I’ve wanted you.”

“Why didn’t you ever say anything?”

I lead her over to the bed and lay us down so we’re facing each other. “I did. A few times. You never seemed to think I was being serious.”

She leans up on an elbow and then bites down on her bottom lip. “I remember. I always just thought you were being nice because you felt sorry for me.”

“Even offered to take you to prom,” I say.

She gasps. “And I said I had a date.” She winces. “What an idiot I was.”

“No, Sadie, you didn’t do anything wrong. I taught that fucker a lesson once I heard what he and his dickless friends did to you.”

“That was you? You broke his nose?”

“I did. My first and only fight. My pops was furious with me, but I told him you were worth protecting.”

She leans up and kisses me. “Finn, I’m sorry I’ve been so blind.”
