Kat places both hands on my chest, causing my heart to ache at the thought of her pushing me away. When one hand slips up the side of my neck, there’s no doubt she can feel my pulse where she holds me. With her other hand, she grabs my shirt in her fist and tugs me impossibly closer to her.
Without breaking the kiss, I wrap an arm around her waist and give in to her. I move us until she’s laying on her back with me on my side next to her, propped up by my elbow.
Kat gasps, pulling away and gulping for air, but my lips never leave her. Kissing a trail down her jaw, her body tenses slightly just before I reach her neck making me immediately pause. Treading carefully and giving her a chance to tell me to stop, before gently retracing my path back to her mouth with soft kisses and she relaxes once more.
She’s breathing heavily, squirming, and holding me by my arm. As if I’d actually leave her right now. Kat turns onto her side, wrapping a leg around my waist and tugging me to her. When she grinds against me, there’s no doubt in my mind that she feels just how turned on I am.
Placing one more gentle kiss on her lips, I pull back and peer down at her. She’s flushed and a small smile flits across her face. Slowly, she opens her eyes. I smirk at her.
“Shit.” She breathlessly exclaims. I chuckle, leaning down to kiss her once more. It’s short and when I pull away this time, she lifts her head to chase after me. I wait until she opens her eyes.
“What were those other two theories?”
Kat shakes her head, a quiet laugh escaping, but I don’t move. Her eyes widen in surprise.
“You don’t have to do—” She starts to protest.
“You’re right, I don’thaveto do anything.” I capture her lips for another deep kiss, only breaking away when another moan escapes. “With your permission, I will do what Iwantto though.”
“We’re outside.” She glances over my shoulder with her next weak protest.
“The only house for miles is Thea’s and she’s in town getting her nails done.” I trace my hand down her side.
Kat blushes, her gaze back on my lips as she answers my question.
“Multiple orgasms.”
“And the last thing was…being able to get yourself off?” I question back, wanting to do all of those with her.
She nods. “I’ve never donethat… I mean I’ve done that, but not in front of anyone else. And not in a long, long time.” Her cheeks are crimson at this point.
Sucking in a ragged breath, she avoids my gaze. I bring my hand back up, crooking a finger under her chin, and tilting her head back so she’s looking at me again.
“You hold the power here. If the words, ‘no’ or ‘stop’ pass through your lips, everything gets put on pause.” I kiss the corner of her mouth. “But if you trust me, ifyou want to, I can show you just how wrong your theories are.”
I kiss the other corner of her mouth before pulling back. She swallows thickly, her eyes darting between mine.
“Show me,” she whispers.
This time she leans forward, kissing me. It’s urgent and demanding, making the blood in my veins heat. She wants this, how her body moves against me tells me that all on its own. It’s her mind that is fighting her, no doubt reminding her of shitty past experiences.
Pushing forward, I press her into the bed, and I’ve never been more grateful for going with an actual mattress over cushions on the outdoor bed. I’ve only ever laid down here a handful of times, truly unsure as to what made me build the pallet bed. But seeing how much Kat adores this space has made it worth it on its own.
I settle on my knees between her parted thighs and finally pull away, avoiding her neck and going straight to place a gentle kiss on the center of her chest. With a hand on each hip, I push up her shirt. Her smooth curves slide through my palm and when I reach the underneath of her breast, I freeze.
“No bra?”
She only smiles in response.
I push her shirt up, letting it bunch up and rest above the swell of her perfect chest. The moment her full chest is bare in front of me, I’m bending forward to lavish them with attention. I trace my tongue around her nipple before sucking her into my mouth. Her back arches off the bed into me and another sexy moan escapes.
After giving her other breast the same amount of attention, I continue down. Kissing and tracing every inch of exposed skin that I find. Gathering the waistband of her shorts, I pause to look back up at her.
Her brows furrow, but it takes her a moment to open her eyes. She doesn’t wait for me to ask.
“Please, don’t stop.”
“Didn’t plan to, Kitten.”
