The spot between my legs is pulsing and more than anything, I want to rub my thighs together to relieve the ache he’s put there with what he just said to me.
His cock? Filling me up?
That’s what I want. I’ve written so many sex scenes of all kinds, but I’ve never experienced it for myself. I know I’m a good writer. But I’m also smart enough to know that my sexy scenes are lacking from the benefit of actual experience.
If only I could get a little firsthand knowledge, I know I’d have the confidence to write scenes that would absolutely sizzle.
It would be research.
My mind is racing. If I’m going to lose my virginity, why shouldn’t it be with a sexy, older mountain man who no doubt knows exactly what to do? It just makes sense.
I haven’t even asked him yet. Not officially, considering I got shy and chickened out. The words hadn’t even come out of my mouth before he rejected me.
The heat racing through my body and pulsing between my legs emboldens me. I look up into his eyes and blink slowly. “Why would you promise your brothers such a thing?”
Ryder presses his lips together and strokes the scruff on his chin, as if he’s trying to decide how much to tell me. Finally, he says, “I have a reputation, kitten.”
Kitten?
“My brothers know me well, and this article you’re writing is too important to screw up. I gave them my word, and I don’t go back on my word.”
It only takes me a second to think of an angle I can use. I’m never so bold and I can’t even believe I’m going to say what I’m about to say, but at this point, I have nothing to lose. Besides, we’re already almost naked, and I know he’s just as turned on as I am. Maybe more. “I assume you all pride yourself on providing top-notch customer service at the lodge, don’t you?”
He narrows his eyes and the corner of his lips twitch as he tries to figure out what I’m up to. “We do.”
I reach up and trace my finger over the lines of his tattoo of a wolf head. I’m touching him, but I’m the one who has a shiver race through me. I’m so far out of my depth.
Still, I press on. “And isn’t part of good customer service making sure the customer is happy? In all the ways?”
He shakes his head with a little grin, and that’s when I make my boldest move yet and slip my hand between us to his rock-hard cock.
The moment my fingers make contact with the velvety smooth skin of his dick, that’s in complete contrast to how hard he is, the breath is sucked from my lungs.
He’shuge.
My first reaction is to pull back and retreat into myself the way I would normally do. But nothing about today and thismoment isnormal,so I double down and spread my fingers out to wrap around his thickness.
Ryder sucks in a breath as I attempt to grip him, but my fingers don’t make it around his girth. Not even close.
I have no idea what to do now that I’ve come this far, so I squeeze a little until he sucks in a breath and catches my hand with his own.
“Careful there, kitten. You’re playing with fire now.”
“Why do you call me kitten?”
His eyes darken, and he lowers himself so his mouth is only inches from mine. “Because I’m about to make you purr.”
I hardly have time to register what he means before his lips are on mine and he’s kissing me.
Ryder
This is a terrible idea.
Briggs and Jaxon are going to kill me.
But what they don’t know won’t hurt them… Besides, she has a point. What the customer wants, the customer gets. And if Chloe wants me to show her how good I can make her feel, well…who am I to deny her?
My promise to my brothers isn’t the only reason this is an awful idea. It’s not even the best reason. Far from it. My gut is screaming at me to jump out of this bed and get far away from this woman before it’s too late.
