“I work in the office,” I said.“And no, I don’t usually do the hiring, but we do have an opening, and I know Dad would be thrilled to have you.”
“I’ll talk to him about it in the next day or two.Right now, I’m just enjoying breathing fresh air whenever I want.”
I shifted on the couch, bending my knee and tucking my foot under me.He stopped mid-sip, his gaze dropping to where the shirt barely covered my lap.Badger kept staring even as he took a swallow of coffee, and I had to admit, I’d never felt so feminine, so desirable as I did in that moment.Men never really looked at me.Well, they looked, but not for long.Once I’d become Griz’s daughter, a well-placed glare from my new dad, or the Devil’s Fury members, made any interested males scatter.And I’d been really grateful for that.I hadn’t been interested in boys in high school, and the only man I’d ever wanted was sitting with me now.
“I don’t remember that shirt ever looking that good on me,” he said, taking another swallow of his coffee.
“I hope you don’t mind that I have it.When May and Griz first brought me home, I had really bad nightmares.May gave me this shirt and told me it was yours.It made me feel safe.”
“Does it still make you feel safe?”he asked.
I squirmed a little.Should I be honest and see what happened?Or play it safe.I didn’t have any experience with guys, especially ones like Badger who could have any woman they wanted.Did he like it when women played games with him?I decided to go for honesty.
“When I can’t sleep, I imagine that it’s you wrapped around me and not the shirt.”
“You imagine me in bed with you?”he asked, his voice dropping a little, sounding even gruffer than before.
“Yeah.”I dropped my gaze to my lap before fighting to meet his stare again.I felt completely exposed sitting here, being honest with him.I’d never been all that brave, but if I had a chance with Badger and I blew it, I’d never forgive myself.
“I expected to get out of prison and hear that you were married or at least seeing someone.I’d hoped you’d made a good life for yourself.”
“I have a good life,” I said.“I don’t have to have a man for that.Although, I guess I technically have a MC full of them, just not in a romantic way.”
“What do you want from me, Adalia?If Griz knew I was here, especially with you mostly naked, he’d have my balls.You’re the President’s daughter, which means it’s hands off.So, if I’m going to get my ass kicked, I need you to be really clear on what you expect.”
I licked my lips.“I don’t expect anything.But… What I want is for you to kiss me, to touch me.I want to fall asleep with your arms around me, knowing it isn’t a dream this time.”
“You’re asking for a lot,” he muttered.“If I get my hands on you, it won’t stop at kissing and touching.I can’t lie in bed with you all night and not want to fuck you.”
My breath hitched as I pictured us in my bed.My thighs clenched, and I ached in a way I never had before.I wanted Badger, more than anything, and it seemed like he wanted me too.What would it take to make him act on those feelings?I didn’t pretend to know anything about men, despite the fact I read sexy books with half-naked men on the covers.
“I’m not asking you to,” I said softly.“I want that.I want you.”
Badger set his mug on the coffee table and reached for me.He slid his hands around my waist and hauled me onto his lap.His eyes were a stormy gray, and they pulled me in.It felt like I was free-falling, and we hadn’t even done anything yet.Gently, he eased his fingers into my hair, cupping the back of my head, and he pulled me closer.He slanted his mouth over mine, in the softest of kisses, but that brief touch was enough to make the dam break.Badger groaned and thrust his tongue between my lips.I melted against him, kissing him back, and hoping he didn’t realize I was inexperienced.
Hell, this was my first kiss, and it was everything I’d ever dreamed it would be.
I felt his hand leave my hair and slide down to the front of the shirt.My heart was pounding as he unbuttoned the front, slowly, as if he had all the time in the world.When the last one was unfastened, he pulled back, his gaze dropping as he parted the shirt and exposed my bare body.
“So fucking beautiful,” he said, as he lightly trailed his fingers across my stomach.
I shivered, but it wasn’t from being cold.I was hot, so very hot.The rough touch of his fingers made me want to beg him to never stop.My nipples were hard, and he lightly brushed his thumb across one.I couldn’t hold back the moan that built in my throat, and I knew my pussy was getting wetter by the minute.He moved his hand down farther, teasing me before slipping his hand between my legs.Badger groaned and he laid his forehead against my shoulder.
“Christ, baby.All slick and wet.You make me want you so bad.”
“I want you too,” I admitted softly.
He lifted his head and stared into my eyes.“Part of me wants to bend you over the back of the couch, and fuck you until we both come.But you deserve better than that.So, I’m going to make you come, and then if you still want me, we’re going to move this to the bedroom.”
I leaned toward him, brushing my lips against his.Badger deepened the kiss as his fingers rubbed back and forth across the lips of my pussy.The scruff on his jaw was probably going to give me whisker burn, but I didn’t care.I’d wear the marks proudly, and remember this moment every time I looked in the mirror and saw them.
“Spread your legs, sweet girl.I want to watch you come apart in my arms.”
I could feel my cheeks burning as I spread my thighs farther apart.Badger teased me, his fingers sliding along the lips of my pussy, but never touching me where I wanted it most.I gasped as he plunged a finger inside me, thrusting it in and out a few times before he started to rub my clit with his thumb.Oh, God.This was way better than anything I’d ever dreamed about.After a few more strokes, he added a second finger.
“Damn, Adalia.You’re tight as a fucking virgin.”
I knew I should tell him the truth, but I worried he’d leave me if he knew.I bit my lip and just focused on the pleasure.Something was building inside me.My nipples hardened even more, and I felt like my body was tightening, straining for release.He didn’t stop, not even when it became too much and I squirmed to get away from him.
