He’ll no doubt be there.
I’ll definitely be there.
We’ll be there.
This could really be messy. And awkward. And…
I hear his feet pad across the floor. I ended up cracking the door for air flow. I’m used to a fan with white noise and the silence was deafening.
I pretend I’m snoring.
“Damn, woman, you need to see someone about that,” he mumbles quietly before heading into the bathroom.
I open my eyes and sit up.
The doorisopen.
It’s not an invitation, but it’s not a closed door.
It’s open.
Kaede… it’s open.
I stand up, only in my sage-green panties and matching bra, and move across the floor quickly. I stop for just a second at the end of his bed to consider what I’m going to do.Is this crazy or am I ready?I’m almost giddy. The excitement of being in his bed, with him, and under him. It’s got my body responding in ways I never expected. My nipples almost ache. My panties are sticking to my pussy lips with wetness that feels both hot and cool.
He comes out of the bathroom and I think he’s half asleep because he’s coming for the bedroom door.
Shit…
I slide behind the door and he grumbles while climbing into the bed.
Definitely half-asleep. Or is it a ploy to get into bed with me?
I’m not hating that idea. Little scared and I don’t want to wake a sleeping bear. I cautiously go back to the bed and slide in but I’m quickly hit with a body.
He sleeps in the middle. The bed is his. His only.
I flip back the covers and start to stand, but a hand reaches out, slipping over my waist.
“Well, well… what do we have here?” He nuzzles into my neck. “I’m sorry, I forgot and came back to the bed.” He rolls me over to face him, putting us both squarely in the middle.
It’s like he’s willing to meet me half-way.
I stare into his eyes. His trustworthy and hot like blue-fire eyes that bounce the moonlight off of them and make my heart almost ache, pine, and fall all at once.
“Do you want to stay?”
There’s a long pause. “More than I’ve ever wanted anything, baby.”
My heart feels like a hundred-piece drum band is inside of it. I reach out to touch his face, sliding my hand over that bushy beard that tells me he’s all man.
“I want you, Kaede. I’ve never wanted anything like I want you. But… I’m just going to say it. I’m a virgin. I’m not experienced like you. And I’mscared, but I’m more scared about not taking a chance. A chance to be with someone who I know will care. I’m scared that what I’m feeling is too much and you might not feel the same.”
He lifts my chin. “Willow, from the moment you jumped out of this bed, the only thing I’ve wanted to do is get you back in it.”
“With you in it, too?” I move in close, lining up our bodies. A low animalistic growl comes out of him.
“Are you really ready for this, Willow? Because once I get inside of you, I’m not going to ever stop wanting to be there. And I guarantee, you’ll never forget I was there.”
