Page 16 of Tice's Kind of Trouble
“Yes, please. I want that more than anything,” I whisper with raspy vocal cords, as he picks me up and scoops up our clothes. Man-on-a-mission, Tice strides toward the house—carrying me through the automatic glass door and down a long, cool hallway to a bedroom that’s straight out of a luxury magazine.
ELEVEN
Tice
Bethany’s orgasm didn’t just destroy her—it shredded everything I ever knew.
It wasn’t supposed to be like this. Somehow, things got fast-forwarded. I planned on taking it easy with Bethany. Letting her relax.
Swim in the pool. Share a first kiss.
Okay…maybe kiss the hell out of each other.
But this is a dream come true I didn’t even let myself have before today.
It takes every ounce of willpower not to throw Bethany onto the bed.
No. I won’t do that. I’m not a total beast.
But after I toss our belongings on the floor, I do allow myself to climb right into the center of the king-size bed with her.
My need issues from my chest in a deep growl as I press her flat beneath me.
“Baby…” I swallow, fighting the swell of possession and lust twisting my spine. “I want inside you. To feel every inch of you. You ready for that?”
Stroking my cheek, her bright gaze holds mine. “I want to know it all, Tice. Teach me everything.”
Christ.
I drop my forehead to hers, breathing raggedly against her mouth. “I’m trying to go slow. But dammit, you’re driving me wild…”
“Do what feels good for you,” she whispers against my lips, then kisses me in the shy way she does. Little tastes, exploring, her fingers moving to bite into my shoulders as she clings to me.
“What feels good for me, baby, is knowing you’re happy.”
Tears slip from the corners of her eyes, down her cheeks, where I catch them with kisses.
“That’s all that matters.”
“I’m scared, Tice,” she whispers as I bury my face into her hair. Her words make me rear back, eyes burning a second ago, now filled with icy shards.
“What’s wrong? Please tell me I didn’t scare you or hurt you. I’ll hate myself forever if I did.”
She shakes her head, a shy smile on her lips. “No, that was incredible. You didn’t hurt me. I just… I can’t believe I fell in love with you the moment I saw you. Is thatreal?”
When I bury my face into the crook of her neck, my breath sawing in and out, prayers of thanks spill from me. She wraps her arms tighter and tighter around me.
Making my heart cave in from so much overwhelming heat.
“It’s real, Bethany. I didn’t know it could happen either, but I’ve known you were mine for months. Seeing you this morning was like watching sunrise. And when I’m inside you, it’ll be like the key fitting into the lock it was made for.”
I can’t stop myself from moving in, dropping my mouth over hers—hungry, desperate to take and take every bit of sunshine I can from this beautiful, sweet girl.
Air to my lungs.
Heat to my heart.
Joy to my darkness.
