“Yes.Understood.But let me take you out for your birthday tomorrow.Let me pamper you all day and then take you for a nice dinner.”
She sighs.“Fine.”
I make a decision I might regret.But I blurt it out before I can change my mind.“If you want to go to Edge for your birthday, I’ll take you myself.After dinner.”
Her eyes light up like it’s Christmas.“Really?”
“Yes, really.But I have stipulations.”I narrow my gaze and try to look stern.
“Of course you do.Whatever.It’s not like I planned to fuck ten guys at the club, Myles.I just want to experience it.”
I flinch.“You’re not fucking any guys at the club, Madison.You’re not fucking anyone but me for the rest of your life.Erase all memories of previousguysfrom your head right now.”
She lifts both brows.“Uh…”
I narrow my gaze again.“Madison…” I warn.What the fuck doesuhmean?
She swallows.“Don’t get mad.”
I stiffen and press my entire body against hers, pinning her hard to the wall.“Madison…” This time, I warn louder.What the hell is she going to tell me?
“Okay, okay, don’t get your panties in a wad.I just haven’t mentioned yet that I, uh… I haven’t had sex with anyone.”Her cheeks turn pink.
My spine goes rigid.Is she fucking kidding?I blink.“You’re a virgin?”
“Uh-huh.Are you mad?”
“Why would I be fucking mad to find out that the woman I’m hoping to spend my life with will never be touched by anyone but me?”
She bites her lip and releases it.“Because I don’t have any experience.I’m probably not going to be very good at it.I don’t want to disappoint you.In fact, I’ve been fretting over it for the whole week.”
“Sweetheart… No.God, no.Stop worrying.That’s the sweetest thing you could have told me.I’m fist-pumping.Don’t you know how fucking pleased that makes me?”
She rolls her eyes.“Okay, let’s not get cocky.”
I chuckle.“Oh, I’m gonna be cocky.You haven’tseencocky yet.I’m gonna strut around the house from now on with my chest pumped out.That’s how cocky I feel about being the only man you’ll ever be with.The man who will teach you every fucking thing about sex.The one who will make sure your first time is heaven on Earth.”
“Now you’re being ridiculous.I’m not stupid.I know it will hurt and I’ll hate it.”
“It willnothurt, and you willnothate it.”
She cocks her head to one side and lifts a brow as though I’m dense.
“Boys do not have the first clue about how to take care of a woman.Lucky for you, I’m not a boy.I will make sure you scream my name the first time my cock is inside you.Then we’ll see who’scocky.”I wink at her.
“Now you sound as old as you are,” she teases.
“You won’t be complaining about my age when my tongue is inside your pussy, sweetheart.”
She gasps.Good.I wanted to shock her.
“Can I go upstairs now?I still need to work through my sad, and now I have to work through my embarrassment about my virginity, and then work through my excitement about going to Edge, and then work through my nerves about everyone at the club thinking I’m a dork.Or a baby.Will they think I’m a baby?”
“No one will think you’re a dork or a baby.I promise.”I don’t like the idea of her working through any of that shit alone.I’d rather wipe it from her head.And I know just how to do it, too.
I release her, slide a hand to the back of her neck, and angle her head to one side.“I’m going to kiss you now.”
Her breath hitches, and she licks her lips.“You’re trying to distract me from my sad.”
