“That you’d want me in your bed more.”
A blush stole across her cheeks and it warmed him. Hell yes, he wanted her in his bed as often as he could have her there. “Yes, and no.”
Her smile faltered and her eyes dimmed. “What do you mean?”
Talk about out of someone’s league. Christ. She was out of his. She was suburbs and shopping malls and he was bars and tattoo parlors. She was rare bottles of wine and he was beer from the grocery store aisle. His nerves kicked in, but he ignored them. He’d never shied away from anything he wanted, women included, and he wasn’t about to start now. This woman was worth the risk. He knew that as sure as he knew his own name. She’d taken a chance with him by telling her ex off while she lay naked and spread in Vinter’s bed. He’d known what kind of reaction the jerk would have and Elise had been brave during it all.
Yes, she was worth a few nerves, but she didn’t have to know about them. His hands gripped her ass and pulled her on top of him, their juices dripping down his cleaned cock. He guessed she’d have to do it all over again. “I want you in my bed and on the couch again. I want you on the counters in the kitchen and the shower in the bathroom. I want you outside in the yard and on the porch, too, and on the hood of my car. I wanna fuck the hell out of you. But …”
“But what?”
He kissed the tip of her nose. “But, I wanna date you, too.”
Her brow crinkled and she tilted her head to the side. “Date me? You do? Even though I’m only a day out of a relationship?”
“Yes. Especially because of that. You’re learning about yourself and I want to be with you while you do. I want to show you how much better I am for you than the stuffed suits you’re used to being with. I wanna take you to dinner, get to know you, take you to the park, to concerts. You know, date you. I want to show you fun of all kinds. You’ve let me bring some of your sexuality out, let me bring out other parts of you, too.”
The smile came back, filling her eyes. He loved that. “And does all this include you taking me get my nipples pierced still?”
Mmmm. Oh hell. “Yes. A little clit ring, too, if you want.”
Her eyes widened and her mouth formed a little “O”, but there was a spark of interest in her gaze. “A clit ring?”
“Yep. It would look so pretty.” She spread her legs over his hips and slid nice and easy along his cock. The idea turned his little minx on. “Might even get you a tattoo.”
“Oh God,” she groaned, pressing her clit down on the head of his once-again hard cock.
She wanted to get wild, try different things, see different sides of herself. He didn’t know what had repressed her passion, but damn, he would be along for the ride of her reawakening. She was strong. But she could use a man strong enough to let her explore. One who would keep her safe if she got into something she didn’t like. A man confident enough in himself, who wouldn’t feel threatened by her blossoming. He was that man.
She stopped moving on him and leaned up to give his lips a soft kiss. “I want to be this person, the one I’ve been with you today. She’s always been inside me, but I lost her somewhere along the way. I like this woman you’ve brought out in me. I like the freedom I have to touch you. I like feeling free enough to ask for what I want, what I need. I haven’t had that in a long time.
“And …” She struggled with her words, but he was patient. He let her have all the time in the world to figure out what she needed to say.
“I want to date you. I want you to show me your world. I want to see you and learn about you and lose myself in the color of your life. I’m tired of only seeing black and white and shades of gray.”
“I’m all yours, baby.”
“But what about at the end of these dates? What do we do then?”
“At the end of them, I bring you back here, or take you to your place, and screw your brains out.” He slid his fingers into her hair and tugged a little. “I’ll tuck you into bed afterward, hold you close to me, and then wake you up in the middle of the night and screw you again.”
She grinned and writhed on top of him. “Okay. Ask me out. I might say yes.”
