"I asked Ian about you, but he wouldn't tell me much. He said if I wanted to know about you, that I needed to ask you. So, I'm asking, Danny." He glanced down between us. "Do you need some help with that?"
I swallowed tightly. I so didn't know what to say. Yes, I wanted Abe to touch me, to do just about anything he wanted to do to me. I just wasn't sure what that meant.
"Before you answer, you need to know how much I want you, Danny. How much I want this with you."
Huh?
"If you say no, then no harm, no foul. I won't pressure you. I won't hold it against you. We can just be friends."
Okay, now I was getting nervous. "What do you want?"
"You."
That so didn't answer my question.
I squinted as I tried to clear the fog of desire clouding my brain. "I don't understand."
"When I come to stay here, I don't want to stay in the guest room."
"Um, okay."
I was still confused.
"I want to sleep in here with you. I want the right to touch you whenever I want." His hand skimmed down my face to the arch of my throat.
"I want the right to kiss you whenever I want." Abe's lips hovered over mine for just a breath, almost as if he was giving me time to pull back if I wanted to.
I didn't want to.
When he leaned in and our lips brushed together, I was pretty sure I'd died and gone to heaven. I whimpered when Abe pressed closer, his tongue sweeping across my lips before moving in to tangle with mine.
I'd been kissed before—twice—but I'd never been kissed like this. Abe didn't simply kiss me. He captured me, conquered me, dominated me, and all with the gentlest of touches. Each tender touch told me I was special in his world.
"How is this happening?" I asked in wonder when Abe finally lifted his head.
Abe's deep chuckle sent a shiver of delight through my entire body. "I want you. I think you want me."
"I do, but—"
Abe's finger pressed against my lips. "No buts,liefling. I want you. You want me. There is nothing to keep us from giving into that want." The smile fell from Abe's lips and his eyes darkened dangerously. "Unless you don't want me like this."
"No, I do," I said quickly. "I want you very much." I didn't want there to be any misunderstandings about that. "I just don't understand how this is happening. I'm a card-carrying member of the geek squad."
Hell, I practically started the club.
"Yes." Abe chuckled. "And I adore that about you. Intelligence is so damn sexy."
Since when?
"It was so hard not to fuck you across your desk when you were working on your computer earlier. The way your brain works…" Abe shook his head. "It's incredible."
My jaw dropped.
"You're turned on by watching me work on my computer?"
Maybe I wasn't awake yet?
I reached over and pinched myself.
