Page 4 of Innocent and Sweet

Panties? She froze. She’d forgotten about her lack of undergarments.

“Naughty girls who want to learn about life and kissing need to wear panties in public. When we’re alone, the undies have to go.” He rubbed his nose along hers. “Understood?”

Her nipples beaded again. He hadn’t touched her mouth, yet he overwhelmed her. She nodded. “Yes.”

“Second rule. If you want lessons, you have to tell me and be honest. I’ll teach you whatever you want to know, but don’t bullshit me.”

She shook her head. It sure seemed like her will belonged to him, but she refused to break the spell he had over her. “I’ve always tried to be honest with you.”

He brushed his lips across hers. “I know, sweetheart.”

All the times she’d longed for him to use her name… she’d never expected him to have a pet name for her. She liked the nickname. She let go of the strap of her dress and stroked his arm. She felt so small in his grasp. Minutes ago, she’d worried she couldn’t be enough for him. Now she wanted every experience he could provide. If she had some already, she’d know how to behave. Should she push for more? Hold back?

“This is how you kiss. Tender, but claiming.” He feathered his lips over hers. Within seconds, he nipped her bottom lip.

The scrape of his teeth on her skin excited her. She opened to him and forgot about her predicament with her dress.

He swallowed her moan. Kam pushed the kiss farther and sucked on her tongue.

She struggled with what to do. Other guys kept their kisses platonic. One of her ex-boyfriends didn’t want her to touch him when he kissed her. Did Kam? What did he expect?

He tucked her to his chest and deepened the kiss. He feasted on her mouth, using every bit of her. She followed his lead. If he nipped, she whimpered and opened more. When he sucked on her tongue again, she gave in and touched his chest. Sparks shot down her spine, and heat centered in her pussy. She couldn’t breathe.

Kam broke the kiss, then stood her on her feet. “Fuck, that’s hot.” Excitement like she’d never known coursed through her veins. The hotness was her. She’d turned someone on -- better yet, the someone was him.

“Kiss-swollen lips, flushed cheeks and wide eyes.” He grinned. “That’s the sign a woman’s been properly kissed. Lesson one complete.”

She reached for him. “I didn’t get a passing grade. I want another try. I know I can bump my grade up to an A.” She wound her arms around his neck. “At least offer me some extra credit.”

“Get through this event tonight, and we’ll not only go back over lesson one, but we’ll move to lessons two and three,” Kam said. “Once we leave this room, we resume our roles. No question.” He caressed her ribs. “Remember, this is an event for kids.” He let go, then left her in the suite alone.

Anissa touched her mouth. Her lips tingled. She’d never felt so wanted before. She bit back a whoop and spun on her heel. Hope blossomed in her chest. She’d chosen the right teacher. He’d give her everything she craved.

Now to find ways to make him crave her, too.

Kameron stood outside her door and measured his breaths. The guys she’d had in the past were fools. They’d passed over a diamond in the rough. A diamond sure to wear him out, but he welcomed the challenge. Nothing good came without a price.

John, the head of the Dunn security team, strode down the corridor. “Where were you?” he asked. “I summoned you. We could’ve had an incident.”

“How? I was in there with the package.” He wanted to say “her,” but couldn’t. John would blow a gasket if he thought Kam had gotten especially close to Anissa.

“In there? You know better.” John glared at him. The man knew security and how to keep someone safe, but little about relationships. John pulled no punches and didn’t play favorites. He did his job and could be a serious hardass.

“She needed my help.” At least he could say he wasn’t lying.

“She needs us as protection,” John said. “We aren’t here to bed her or be her best friend.”

“I’ll protect her.” But he wanted to have her in his bed… across the hood of his truck, on the dining room table and anywhere else he decided to take her.

“I assumed you’d gotten close. I’ve seen the way you look at Anissa.” John cocked his eyebrow. “Are you sure you know what you’re doing?”

“She’s special.” He refused to back down.

“If she’s so special, then why did she request Julian protect her tonight?” John folded his arms. “You’ve been taken off this detail.”

The hell he had been. Anissa wouldn’t have him removed.
