“Yeah. I really do.”
She stared up at him and nibbled on her lower lip.
He paused, seeing a hesitance he hadn’t anticipated. “Kenzie?”
“Evan, I… I want us to be together. I really do.” She blushed. “And I want you to come inside me. No condom.”
He blinked, not sure he wasn’t hearing what he wanted to hear. To feel Kenzie, skin to skin? A definite dream come true.
At his silence, she blurted, “I’m on birth control. And I’m clean. I trust you.” She sighed. “Am I freaking you out? I just like not having anything between us.”
“You had me at no condom,” he said with all honesty, relieved at her smile. “I’m clean, and I trust you too. But honey, are you sure? I’m only comfortable with it if you are. I need you with me all the way.” He tapped the side of his head. “In here.”
He wanted to tap his heart too because that’s where he really felt her. But confessing his love would send her running. It should have been too soon for him too. Yet he felt it all the same.
She sat back on his bed and looked up at him. Her smile was slow in coming, but it brightened the whole room. “I don’t know why or how it happened, but I really trust you. You’re a good man, Evan.”
He scoffed, teasing. “I don’t know if I’d go that far. But I’m clean, I respect the hell out of you, and I want you all the time. I’d never do anything to hurt you, Kenzie.”
She nodded. “I believe you.”
Her trust meant more than he could say.
“And I think it would be sexy without it.” She let out a breath. “So let’s—”
“No. That’s the other part of this. You just lie back and enjoy.”
“I—oh. Okay.”
Evan unbuttoned his shirt and jeans but kept them on. He knew Kenzie liked his body, especially draped in a collared shirt, and he wanted to use that desire to his advantage.
He pulled her to her feet and took her shirt off. Evan looked her over, intoxicated by the soft curves and toned belly and that lacy white bra.Jesus.
“I love how you look,” he whispered, trailing his hands over her arms, shoulders, breasts. She sucked in a breath as he caressed her belly and toyed with the snap of her jeans. “I love how you taste.” He kissed from her cheek to her throat, stroking with his hands as he followed with kisses up and down her skin. He knelt before her, kissing her belly, and slowly unzipped the fly of her jeans.
He eased them down and left her in matching white-lace panties. Oh, just…wow. He could only stare, enthralled.
Taking a deep breath, he slowly let it out and stroked her from ankle to thigh. The outside of her legs then the inside.
Kenzie’s breath sawed faster, her hands gripping his shoulders then toying with his hair.
He nuzzled her belly, then lower, pressing his face against her mound. She smelled incredible, sexy and sweet. And he kissed her through her panties, wanting his mouth on her in the worst way.
He glanced up at her and saw an answering passion regarding him.
“You good?”
“Yes.” She stroked his hair, her fingernails grazing his scalp. “You’re so sexy, Evan. I love you in that shirt. Especially when it’s unbuttoned.”
“I know,” he said smugly, startling a laugh out of her.
That joy, her sincere pleasure, drew him more than anything. An innocent zest for life and happiness. He wanted more.
Evan pulled down her panties, staring at the trimmed light-brown hair covering her pussy. “Beautiful,” he murmured and stood to remove her bra, pushing her hands down when she would have helped him. “No, let me.”
He tossed her clothes to the floor then lowered her to the bed and stared his fill.
“You are without a doubt the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen,” he confessed, in awe. Her breasts would fit his hands perfectly, not too large or too small. She had a flat belly and trim hips, her waist defined, and her legs long and toned. The creamy richness of her skin so fine beneath his darker hands that had been tanned from the sun and roughened from hard work.
