“Yes.”
“Not even yourself?” Addie asked.
“Well… yes, but no oneelse.” Toni stared at her, thinking that as much as she’d enjoyed the innocent-ingenue persona, Addie was enticing just like this, too. Blunt speech reallywasa turn on for Toni.
“Would you want to give me a demonstration?” Addie asked, holding Toni’s gaze even though she was blushing like a virgin at an orgy. She sighed when Toni didn’t instantly answer. “I just want to know what you like, but if that’s too much… Is it wrong to ask? I’ve thought about what you would like if I touched you. I researched some even.”
Toni’s mouth went dry, and her voice rasped as she said, “No.”
Addie’s expression fell.
And Toni quickly added, “No, it’s not too much at all.”
“Is there anything I can do to put you in the mood?” Addie flashed that wicked smile she revealed every so often, and Toni had the flicker of a thought that she might have met her match.
Toni shucked her shirt, eyes locked on Addie, who was still sitting on the edge of the bed. “That expression helps.”
“I could strip you…?” Addie offered in a voice that was not much more than a whisper. Her nerves weren’t making her run, but they were still obvious.
Toni held her arms out and gestured at her remaining clothes. “You definitely could.”
As Addie stood and stepped closer, Toni saw her hand was shaking. Addie licked her lips as she unfastened Toni’s bra with surprisingly quick skill, but Toni could feel the slight tremble in her hands.
That’s not why I want her quivering.
So Toni added, “Seeing your body would behelpful,too. Be a good girl, and get out of the jeans.…”
Addie unfastened her jeans and shoved them down.
Toni’s eyes widened slightly when she saw that Addie was naked from the waist down.
“You said not to wear anything under them,” Addie murmured, squirming slightly. “So I didn’t… which is awkward, I guess, since you’re the one still wearing jeans and I’m bottomless.”
“You’re irresistible,” Toni pronounced as she unbuttoned her jeans and removed them and her underwear to stand naked in front of Addie.
This feels far more intimate than a hookup,Toni thought.Is this a mistake?
“And yet you’re not kissing me or doinganything,” Addie pouted, forcing Toni’s attention away from her doubts and fears.
Toni brushed her lips over Addie’s as she tangled a hand in Addie’s hair, holding her fast although she was not going anywhere. Her free hand outlined the curvaceous line from hip to breast. But Addie pushed Toni away and took a step backward. “Show me.”
At that, Toni walked over to the bed and pulled back the duvet and top sheet. She stretched out on the bed and bent one knee. Addie’s gaze was laser-focused, and that alone would’ve been enough to make Toni’s body ready and willing.
“I’ve imagined seeing you naked,” Addie whispered.
“And?” Toni patted the mattress beside her.
“My imagination was not this good.”
“Come closer. Make yourself comfortable, Addie.” She stared at Addie, who was looking at Toni with raw need in her eyes. “Having you beside me would make this a lot more fun for both of us.…”
Chapter 18Addie
At first Addie felt a little silly keeping her shirt on when she was naked from the waist down, but suddenly, Toni was naked and splayed out like an invitation, and every other thought vanished.
Naked womanwas the most articulate thought Addie had.Gorgeous naked woman.
“You’ll see better if you come over here,” Toni said, adopting the same tone she had when she was lecturing, confident and instructional.
