Everything is less firm than the teenage girl he left behind.
But honestly?I’m not half as self-conscious as I expected to be.
Not even when the last scrap of fabric falls between us and we’re both standing there completely naked and desperate for one another.
My eyes travel down his body, and I note the differences, the new tattoos, the scars, the extra hair he didn’t have when I knew him.
“You’re so fucking beautiful,” he murmurs, and drops to his knees.
And my mouth gapes open.
Nathan Thorn—international rockstar, Grammy winner, tabloid heartbreaker—is on his fucking knees in front of me.
And suddenly, I’m a trembling mess.
But still, he’s looking up at me like I’m something holy.
His eyes darken, heat pooling in them so fast I almost stumble.
“Fuck, Sparky,” he murmurs, like the nickname never left his tongue.“Don’t you know how beautiful you are?”
The air leaves my lungs.
My knees actually wobble.
Then he leans in and presses his mouth to my skin—slow, reverent, open-mouthed kisses along my stomach, my hips, my thighs.
Every place I’m most insecure.
Every inch I’ve learned to hide.
He kisses like he’s worshipping me, and it does something dangerous to my heart.
“Nathan,” I breathe his name more than speak it.
Nathan groans in response.
Deep, guttural, primal.
And it’s like my voice is the only thing he’s ever wanted to hear.
My heart is pounding, and this all feels so surreal.I mean, Nathan Thorn is literally a fantasy come to life.And not just for me but for most of the world.
“Fuck, Ad, you’re so goddamn sweet,” he growls against my skin, and I gasp at how good he feels.How warm and real when he touches me.
My fingers are sliding into his hair before I’ve even decided to touch him.
“Need more.Come here,” he says, then he lifts one of my legs, draping it over his shoulder.
My breath stalls.
“Nate!You can’t!”
“Yes, I fucking can.”
His hands—large, hot, possessive—grab hold of me.One gripping my bare ass, the other anchoring my hip, holding me open for him.
“You trust me, sparky?”he asks, electric blue eyes piercing me.I nod once, hard and sharp.
