“You can’t forget important things like that.”

He shot me a cocky grin. “I’ll try to do better. Promise.” His eyes ate up every inch of me. “You can’t hide from me either. No more pulling away crap. I know you’re used to taking care of yourself but I’m here now. We take care of each other.”

My last threads of anger dissolved.We take care of each other.Fuck, how I was tired of being alone.

Seth was intoxicating.

I wanted to feel him.

I started with the top button, grateful I’d chosen a breezy blue and white sundress for today’s game. The buttons were real and went from top to bottom. I hadn’t planned it for a striptease, but it was perfect nonetheless. Seth’s gaze locked on my hand and he gulped, watching as button after button came loose. I let it fall to the floor, revealing that I’d worn his favorite bra.

None.

And only a practically see-through pair of lace panties. Seth froze halfway to a pool noodle and rose up out of the water as I stepped out of my chunky heels.

“You are a fucking goddess, Annalise.”

“Still want me?”

“Always. You’re allowed to freak out sometimes. Just…let me know what’s going on.” He wrapped two noodles around his back and under his arms, sinking into the water.

I ditched the panties and took the steps down into the water. “I’m feeling out of control,” I confessed. The way I should have from the start.

“That’s understandable,” he gulped, his eyes locked on my breasts.

“I should have talked to you.” The water was the perfect temperature. I didn’t even shiver as I let my shoulders drop beneath the surface.

“I deserved getting called out on my shit like that.”

I closed the distance between us. “But you didn’t get upset.”

His gaze snapped up to meet mine. “I knew you were scared, babe. I could see it in your eyes. You needed me to steady you.”

I put my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist, letting him steady me some more. “I missed you.”

“I missed you so fucking much,” he growled. “And I have a lot of apologizing to do. Open your pretty pussy for me and let me make it up to you.”

SETH

Ididn’t know how I’d been so fucking stupid. Everything with Annalise was just so right. So perfect. I felt like an idiot and an asshole. I pushed right past her barriers and then never let her beyond mine. As much as I tried not to be a selfish asshole with her, it was still a part of me.

Sure I was soothing us with sex for now, but I needed to find a much bigger, much more powerful way to make it up to her. But that was a problem for tomorrow.

“This pretty pussy has missed me so much.” I ran my hand over her, testing her, savoring everything I hadn’t been able to touch for two fucking weeks. “No attention. Nothing to stretch her.” I dipped my fingers inside.

Annalise’s pupils blew, her lids dropping as the last of her frustration gave way to lust. “She’s had attention.”

“Do your fingers feel as good as mine, baby?”

“No.”

“Can a vibrator give you what I can?” I ran the pad of my thumb over her clit, still hiding under its hood. “No it can’t. And I know you prefer my mouth to your fingers.” I dipped and sucked one nipple, then the other. She gasped and arched into me. “Sensitive today, aren’t you?”

Her eyes fluttered open, locking with mine. “They’re always sensitive.”

I hummed around one, watching her eyes glaze over. “True. But they’ve been without proper attention. They’re needy. Desperate for my mouth to lick them, suck them,” I ran my teeth over the quickly hardening tip, “bite them.”
