‘Oh, my.’ Goosebumps smothered his skin. ‘What are you planning to?—?’
‘You know already.’ She smiled that totally audacious smile.
He adjusted his stance because his body was rioting. And he just gave in to it. Anticipation blasted away the sting he’d felt from her saying she wasn’t going to go stalker on him. Why it had kicked he didn’t know, and why would he fight the vision of seduction in front of him now? He didn’t have to fight it any more; they wanted the same thing—nothing but fun frolics for a few weeks...
She paused from unscrewing the lid of the bottle. The amusement flashing in her eyes undermined the innocence of her smile. ‘I thought you liked spontaneity.’
‘I do,’ he muttered, suddenly breathless.
Mere minutes later Gabe was flat on his back on the floor and wondering if he was about to have a cardiac arrest. It sure as hell felt like it. ‘Where did you learn to do that?’ he gasped.
‘An article online, where else?’ She sat up, her hair tumbling down her back, her cheeks rosy, her lips still slick from the syrup she’d licked and sucked from him. ‘It said it would send you cross-eyed. Did it work?’
Well, his head was spinning and his heart reeling. And seeing her look like the ultimate hedonistic nymph, he had to screw his eyes shut tight again.
‘Long live the internet,’ he muttered fervently. Another realization dawned as he absorbed her words. ‘Was that your first time?’
‘Mmm hmm.’ She sounded very pleased with herself.
He sat up in a hurry, fully focused on her now. She’d never gone down on a guy before and she did it like that? Such a natural it was unnatural. As she licked her lips he took her by surprise and pushed her back, settling his body over hers so she couldn’t escape. It truly was sick how much he liked having her beneath him. He tugged down her shorts, then slid so his face was where they’d just been. He held her wrists to her sides and he looked up her belly and between her breasts to her very wide blue eyes.
‘What about the situation in reverse?’ He brushed the lightest kiss across her upper thigh. ‘Has anyone ever done this to you?’
It took her a moment, then she slowly shook her head.
His instincts burned. ‘I thought you said your virginity was a mere technicality, that you were no novice. But you haven’t even had oral sex?’ Hell, that was the thing lots of teen technical virgins did, right? How they got off without going all the way.
Her flush deepened. She shook her head again.
He paused, too late to go back now—and now he needed to know it all. ‘So why me?’
‘You know what you’re doing?’ she answered in a small, uncertain voice.
He figured that was a partially honest answer, he looked at her steadily waiting for more. Hoping therewasmore.
‘And I think you’re very nice,’ she added in an even smaller voice. ‘I’m very attracted to you and I trust you to do what I need you to do.AllI need you to do.’
He watched more closely. ‘Why do you trust me?’
‘Because you already have.’
Done what she’d needed? Shown her a good time in bed and let her keep it so casual they didn’t even spend ten minutes together out of the sack?
All of a sudden it wasn’t enough.
‘Tell me about the boyfriend,’ he prompted. ‘Did he even exist?’
‘Yes, he did,’ she answered. ‘We dated for a few months.’
‘A fewmonths?’ Gabe was amazed. How on earth had she stopped herself from screwing him? She was insatiable. And curious. And determined, ‘He’d taken a celibacy vow?’
‘No.’ She pulled a wrist free and mock-slapped him. ‘There just wasn’t the opportunity.’
‘You could have found an opportunity.’ She so could have.
‘I didn’t want to.’
And that was the answer he’d been seeking. Yeah, contrary to his keep-it-casual intentions, it pleased him no end that she was hot for him in a way she’d not been hot for anyone else. But he wanted her to appreciate some of his other skills too. Oh, he did not want this to become some sordid, nothing but sex-travaganza. There were other things he wanted—like a little more of her respect, to soothe that little chunk she’d taken out of him.
