Again, she tugged on the helmet and clung to him as he drove.By the time they reached the hotel, she felt half frozen and was grateful for the heat once they were safely in their room.
Sophia had expected to feel awkward being alone with Axel, but she didn't.It felt natural.
“Let's get comfortable,” Axel told her as he sat and removed his boots.
Sophia followed suit before she crawled onto the bed, and sent a quick text to her dad to let him know she'd be staying at a hotel for the night and would be home in the morning.
When Axel joined her in bed, she curled up against him and rested her head on his chest.They found a holiday themed movie on the TV and settled in to watch it.
Chapter Seventeen
Axel
The plan, now that they were stretched out on the bed together, was to watch a movie, but he'd learned a long time ago that things don't always go as planned.
Laying there with Sophia's head resting on his chest, Axel's hand caressed up and down her side, just wanting to touch her in some small way.
He felt Sophia lift her head to nuzzle his neck and he struggled to not react.When she pressed a kiss to his jaw, he growled.
“You don't make this easy, babygirl.”
“Don't make what easy?”she inquired.
“Keeping my hands to myself.”
Sophia shifted a bit so she was looking up at him.“No one said you couldn't touch.I just said I wasn't ready to jump your bones,” she pointed out.
“True.You did.”
Axel moved and pressed her back into the mattress while he hovered over her.Leaning down, he pressed his lips to hers and she eagerly returned his kiss.
After a moment, he broke the kiss to trail his lips along her jaw and down her throat, making her whimper.
“If I do something you don't like, I want you to tell me.If, at any point, you want me to stop, you say so.Got it?”he ordered.
“I got it,” she replied.“I'll tell you.I promise.”
“Good.Then let's get rid of this,” he said and slid his hands down to slowly remove her sweater.
He leaned back and stared at her.“Fuck, you're gorgeous,” he groaned.“I mean, I've seen you in the outfits you wear when you're on stage, but this is different.This is personal.”
He lowered his head and kissed the creamy mounds of her breasts before he slid his hand behind her, unhooked her bra, and removed it to reveal her already peaked nipples.
Watching her face, he dipped down to take one nipple into his mouth.He held the nipple between his teeth and flicked his tongue across the tip of it, making her moan softly.
Propping himself up on one arm, he lifted his other hand to caress the other breast, gently tugging on her nipple.
Sophia's moans and whimpers had him hard as a rock, but he wasn't going to pressure her for more than she was ready to give.
Moving down her body, he kissed her stomach and looked up at her.“May I?”he asked and touched the button on her slacks.
“Yes, but, um…”
“What is it, babygirl?”
“I'm wearing leggings, too.I put them on for warmth.”
“Smart woman.That's not a problem.”
