“Dylan. I’m just a woman. I really am.”
“You’re not what’s making me nervous.”
“But—oh.”
I suck in a surprised breath as his brows twist, like,Yeah.
He rejected me not all that long ago because he wasinvolved.
“You were waiting.”
“I was waiting.”
“If you don’t want—mmph!”
I can’t talk anymore, because there’s a truffle in my mouth.
A glorious, rich, deep dark chocolate truffle.
My eyes slide shut while the flavors melt over my tongue. “Oh my God, that’s good.”
Dylan kisses my neck again, this time on the other side. “I want to make your eyes cross like that.”
“That’s—oh my God, this is good—very ambitious.”
He laughs against my shoulder while he rubs his hands over my hips. “This is whereI love your ass, Dylan,would be useful.”
He slowly comes into focus as I let my eyes slide open, and I couldn’t stop my smile if my life depended on it.
He is, without a doubt, the sexiest, kindest,easiestman I’ve ever known. “This isreallygood chocolate.” I reach behind me for a box, grab the first treat I find, and hold it to his mouth. “Here. Try it.”
He holds my gaze while he closes his mouth over the truffle, sucking on my finger and thumb in the process.
There’s a low pull in my belly, and I lean in to kiss his neck whilehiseyes slide closed. His breath hitches when my lips touch his skin, and he pulls me tighter against him, leaving no doubt that he isveryhappy to be here this morning.
I want to reach into his pants and stroke his erection, but I need explicit permission this time.
I’m not messing up with him again.
“Yeah,” he breathes. “This is really good chocolate.”
“Better than mine?”
“Never.”
“Liar.”
“Biased, maybe.Liar, no.” He hooks a hand under my leg and lifts it, nudging me to sit on the worktable. “I want to see you naked.”
I hate being naked.
There’s nothing that makes me feel more vulnerable than putting every physical shortcoming on display. No hiding a bloated day with a belt tied just right, no disguising my imperfections, no chance of airbrushing or photoshopping.
It’s just me.
Real. Raw.Naked.
But this morning?
