I leaned up so I could get a good look at her face. “CJ, are you sure you want to do this?”
“Very sure. Except—”
I growled in frustration and sat up. “It’s fine. I told you. I was just trying to sneak a kiss. We put the brakes on.”
I reached one hand out to her to pull her up, then reached down and pulled the blanket on the bed over her shoulders.
“No. I really do want to I just. Argh.” She shook her head and covered her face with the blanket.
I grabbed her shoulders and leaned to where I knew she was peeking from the blanket. “Do you want to talk about it, or should I pretend this tree isn’t at full attention in my underwear and get dressed?”
She sighed, the blanket still covering her face. “I don’t want you to think I’m some tramp who casually sleeps around.”
I tried to stifle my laugh, but my body shook, and she pulled the blanket from her face. “Hey! It’s not funny,” she said in a high-pitched voice.
“Until right now, who you slept with is not my business. However, going forward, I’d like to think it’s just me unless you discuss otherwise with me first.”
Her brows pinched together. “Going forward?”
I shrugged. “Well yeah. I’m not a tramp that just casually sleeps around, either, CJ. We may be trapped right now, but that doesn’t mean I don’t expect to see you again once we’re free.”
I barely got the word out before she grabbed my face with both hands and assaulted my mouth.
Chapter 11
CJ
I could absolutely overthink this, but this man seemed as simple as he came off, so I dove right in. I pulled his face to mine and yanked him onto the bed.
The firm shaft pressing into my core let me know he was just as ready as I was. I was already wet, but each thrust of his tongue and squeeze of my thigh only sent more warmth between my legs.
His hands reached down, and he slid a finger from my opening up, circling the sensitive spot.
“Mmmm, you’re so wet.”
God, the low timber of his voice was about to make me come all over his hand. “Grab the box,” I whispered in his ear as he pressed soft but kisses on my neck while his beard tickled me.
“Slow down, woman. I said before, ladies first.”
I was throbbing inside, ready for him, and he wanted to go slow.
“I’m ready now.”
“Oh, you are? Let’s take a look.”
He slid down my body, caressing my skin, sending heat to each spot he touched.
After he slinked to the floor, he reached under my hips and jerked me to the edge of the bed then worked his shoulders between my thighs to spread them.
“I think you were right but let me check one more thing.”
I looked down to see the top of his head moving in just as his tongue swept up between my folds, sending my legs jerking. My hands bundled the blanket as I sucked in a breath.
“I don’t know. Maybe a little more work to be done here.”
His mouth wrapped around my swollen nub and gently sucked as his tongue flicked it. My eyes crossed and my body tensed as the sensation.
“Relax woman,” he said before he wrapped his lips over me again and growled.
