I don’t know why, but that makes me happy. She thinks I’m good at this, while I still feel like I’m struggling to get by.
“Now to the elephant in the room. I know you said you haven’t been with a woman before. But I just need to know; that means nothing whatsoever? No causal kiss on the lips, saw a hot woman and got a twinge in your cooter?”
No. Of course not. But that’s not exactly true now, is it? There’s something abouther. Something that gets me so flustered, nervous and has my body feeling things I don’t know how to explain. But I can’t tell her that. So I lie.
“Nope.”
“Then we need to get you comfortable with me touching you and reacting as if you do.” She reaches out, pushing a lock of hair behind my ear, then trails her fingertips along my cheek. My breath hitches and my heart races. I shouldn’t like this, but my fucking body is reacting as if I do.
Roxy’s eyebrow raises at the same time she smiles. She runs the pad of her thumb along my bottom lip, and before I even realize what’s happening, she leans in to me, pressing her lips against mine, kissing me softly. Her fingers slip through my hair, cradling my head in her hand.
“Cherry chapstick, my favorite,” she murmurs into my mouth. Fuck me, she just tied me to a Katy Perry song.
I don’t know how to answer. When Roxy deepens the kiss, I let her, parting my lips so that her tongue can slip into my mouth. A soft moan breaks free and Roxy swallows just before pulling away.
“See, it’s not so bad.”
“No, I guess it isn’t.” It was a kiss, and I did it.
My heart thuds in my chest like I’ve done something forbidden, but there’s no regret. Just confusion... and maybe the tiniest flicker of curiosity.
Roxy watches me closely, her fingers brushing a stray hair from my cheek before pulling away completely. Her gaze lingers, as if silently asking if I’m okay.
I nod
“In no time, I’ll have you naked and orgasming without you even thinking about me being a woman. Now, let’s talk some more so you get more comfortable with me, then we’ll grab some dinner.” She tosses me a wink as she pulls her hand from my hair.
And right now, all my body is craving is to have her lips back on mine.
Chapter 12
Felicity
Idropmybagonthe floor as I walk in my door. Tonight was terrifying and exhilarating all at the same time. Roxy is holding true to her word, making me feel one hundred percent comfortable being with her. The only thing hitting me hard is that she’s stirring up these new feelings inside of me.
She’s a woman. The literal opposite of me. She’s outgoing and flirty. She knows what she wants and goes after it, never afraid of what she wants to say.
I shake my head and make my way across the room, dropping down on the couch. Reaching over to the coffee table, I pick up the remote and turn the television on. Flipping through the channels, I finally land on Game of Thrones and lay back.
I’ve watched the series a dozen times. The current episode is the one where Joffrey dies.Good riddance to the asshole.
My phone vibrates, and I reach into my pocket and pull it out. It’s a text message from Roxy.
Roxy: Tonight was a good start. Tomorrow we’re going to get naked and start to explore.
I gulp. Naked. Explore. That means her hands are going to be roaming my body while I do the same to hers. Suddenly I'm burning up and not just because I'm still wearing my jacket. I quickly remove it, tossing it to the other end of the couch just as my phone vibrates again.
Ezra: Hey baby. How’d it go tonight?
My body lightens and my face heats at his message even though it’s nothing sexual.
Me: Good. We just spent some time getting to know each other, then went to dinner. How was poker night with the guys?
I take off my shoes and put my feet on the coffee table, while pulling a throw blanket over me.
Ezra: Meh. I lost $150. The cards were not on my side tonight.
A notification pops up, alerting me to another message from Roxy.
