Page 18 of Hiding From Laughter

My huff had his chest jerking in silentlaughter, but I kissed his cheek before I went back to hiding. Everyone cuteknew cheek kisses fixed nearly everything, so I wasn’t surprised when he sighedand patted my bottom again. “Good boy.”

That was probably cheating too, but I likedit when I was his good boy. I was never really good, but he had a very liberaldefinition that put me in that category on a regular basis.

He was really sweet.

But he was a lot of other things toobecause he set me and the stuff down on the bed without giving me time topanic. That was just so rude. I needed time to get worked up instead of himjust starting in on the scene.

And I couldn’t even tell him to slow downso I could be dramatic.

Ugh.

Rude.

And then my shirt came off…there wasnothing I could do about it anymore.

Oh well.

Micha didn’t even look apologetic at all.“Do you know how much I love seeing you helpless? This is going to be so muchfun. This is going to be better than the cuffs and the leg spreader puttogether.”

He was not allowed to be this happy when Iwas trying to be a pain in the butt.

Kissing my nose, he leaned me back on thebed, still wearing a big smile. “I love it when you laugh and this is going tocombine all of my favorite things into one scene.”

Now he was trying to be cute.

I just couldn’t handle how rude he wasbeing, so I closed my eyes. If I couldn’t see him being cute, it couldn’taffect me.

“Your laughter was one of the first thingsI noticed about you that day in the ice cream place.” Micha started working onmy pants as he talked, not acknowledging my pout at all. “Of course, how sexyyou were when you licked the spoon was technically thefirstthing Inoticed but your laughter wasn’t far behind.”

Bringing up how cute I was back then wassomehow even ruder…and I was going to tell him that later too.

“Your eyes sparkle when you’re happy andyou take my breath away.” His cheating was getting even worse because I wasnaked and not nearly frustrated enough. “And then you told me how much you likebeing tickled.”

The level of happiness in his voice made mesquirm and I hid my face behind my hands so he wouldn’t see me blush. Icouldn’t help but appreciate how it took away the temptation to peek at thestuff he’d gotten. I wasn’t smart all the time but I was curious.

But I’d saved myself.

“You completely let go and you were sosexy. I should’ve realized it was more than that, though.” He kissed the backof my hands but I was smart and stayed hidden. Yep, I was brilliant because hestarted opening the package.

I’d have seen it.

Nope. I had to stay hidden.

“You’d squeal and wiggle.” There were somany crinkly sounds I didn’t know what he was doing until my underwear cameoff. “You’d laugh until you couldn’t breathe, but that was when I made myerror. I thought that was when I was supposed to stop.”

Hmm.

I ignored the way he lifted my bottom upand simply focused on his words because they were the most important thing. Howsoft stuff was or how snuggly it felt weren’t important at all. “I thought whenyou got to the losing control kind of laughter, that meant the game stopped sothat accidents didn’t happen. I should’ve asked more questions.”

Well, questions were important parts ofrelationships.

“I’m not sure that would’ve helped,though.” Micha huffed as he fiddled with thethingmore. “You are notalways very forthcoming when you’re embarrassed.”

That was rude to mention too…he just keptadding to the list.

“But I love you even when you’re a pain inthe butt and I’m going to remember this situation going forward.” He just keptdigging the hole deeper and deeper. “I think I might be too patient when itcomes to your inability to communicate, but don’t worry, I learn my lessonsvery thoroughly.”

Fuck.
