My eyebrows lifted at the challenge. “Let’s try.”

She shook her head. “It’ll be a waste of both of our time.”

“Because you think I won’t enjoy it.”

She nodded. “Yep.”

I gave her thighs a quick squeeze. “Do I strike you as someone who would do something I don’t want to do?”

She snorted and rolled her eyes. “No.”

I waited.

She chewed her lip, watching while I kneeled between her legs.

“Why don’t we try my way first, and if you can’t get there, we’ll do it your way.” I pressed a kiss to the inside of her knee as she watched, uncertain.

“You’re the boss,” I told her before I pressed another kiss to her thigh. Fuck, her skin was so soft. I could kneel at her beside for hours, doing this. “You say stop, I stop. You say slow down, I slow down.” Another kiss. Her lids drooped while she watched. “You say faster, I speed up.”

Her teeth scored her lip and her eyes grew hazier with more kisses on her thigh.

“You saymoreandharderandplease, and I’ll give you everything I’ve got.”

Her throat worked again.

“You’re the boss,” I repeated and brushed my stubble back and forth on her inner thigh. Her breath hitched and her gaze followed my every move. “I’m yours to do what you want with. You want to slap me? You can.” I shot her a playful grin and she matched it.

“What?” Her chest shook with laughter.

“Go on.” I winked at her. “Slap me.” I whispered the dare.

“No.” She frowned but smiled harder.

“Do it.” My fingers wrapped around her wrist and I lifted her hand.

“Holden.” Her chest shook with laughter, her eyes shone bright, and I wanted to marry her. Tomorrow. Tomorrow evening at the very latest. The morning after if we were too busy in bed. I could wait a day.

“Come on,” I urged.

With my hand still around her wrist, she gently tapped my cheek while her eyes danced with amusement. I turned to kiss her palm, scoring the sensitive skin with my teeth.

“I want to fuck you with my tongue so bad.” My gaze pinned her. “Please, Sadie. Let me go down on you. I want to taste you and make this sweet little pussy feel good.” I lowered my mouth to her, just beside the seam of her panties, and sucked the sensitive skin.

Her head fell back with a moan.

“Okay,” she breathed.

“Yeah?” I lifted my head.

She nodded, still propped up on her elbows before she lied back on the bed. She took a deep breath and let it out slow.

“Nervous?” I ran my stubble up and down the inside of her thigh.

“I’m fine.”

“Liar.” My lips brushed the word over her underwear while I skated my hands up and slipped them under the sides, touching her smooth skin.

She let out a soft laugh and the sound went straight to my cock.
