I rub the back of my neck.
I feel her gaze sweeping over me and then she whispers, “Oh.Oh.” She slumps against the elevator. “I-I did that?”
I refuse to blush.
I REFUSE.
But the wet spot on my jeans says it all.
I am so embarrassed?—
She presses a hand to my chest. “It’s okay, Zach. W-We can just hug!”
I gape at her. “Denver Parilla!”
She blinks. “Huh?”
A growl escapes me and I snatch a hold of her hand and use it to cup my junk. “Do you feel how hard I am for you?”
Her lips part as she keeps her fingers in my grasp. “Again?
“Hockey players can go all night,” I tease, digging deep to make this all right when I’m humiliated as fuck.
Her voice tightens—as does her grip on me. “For me?”
“All for you, gorgeous,” I rumble, neckarching as the exquisite agony of her touch makes me want to blow my load for the second time right here, right now. But… “You sure about this, Denny?”
“Huh?”
I tap her nose. “You heard me.”
“Yeah. I did.” Another blink. Slower this time. “You’ve changed your mind now that you got off, is that it?”
I tsk. “I’m ready for youagain, Denny.”
“Then what’s the problem?”
That’s my Denny—always to the point.
“Problem? No problem. I’m just checking in.”
As much as I want this night to continue into tomorrow, next week, next month, next year, nextdecade, I need to teach her the right way men should treat her.
Though it kills me to think of her with anyone other than me, that won’t stop me from protecting future D.
She deserves the best, but she won’t know what that looks like until I show her.
And if my mom taught me anything other than how to love, it was that tomorrow isn’t promised.
“Maybe you don’t want me anymore,” I mumble, shoulders bunched.
Dead silence is her answer. Then, finally, only God knows how long later, she shapes me on her own. As I curse and plant my hands on either side of her head, she asks coyly, “Why would you think that, Zach? Isn’t this a compliment?”
“I-I-I guess it is,” I stutter.
“Then why do you think I want to stop?”
She punctuates that with a harsh squeeze that has me seeing stars.
