“Tell me what you want.”
For a second, I don’t think she will. But then something terribly perfect happens.
Something I never expected. Something that’s going to make this infinitely more difficult than I expected.
Heat flashes in her eyes, and the side of Maddie I want to feed and nurture edges closer. The side that’s learning to wield the feminine power she has over me.
Her full lips curl into a smile that could terrify a man. “I don’t want your mouth.” Her next words set my whole body on fire. “I want your cock.”
Before I can decide where to go from here, her hands are ripping open my fly, shoving into the space she made, and wrapping around my ready dick. I suck in a breath as her soft palm slides down my length. “Tell me what you like, Leo.”
She’s turning my words back at me, and I kinda love it. “I like when you come on my hand.”
Her grip on me tightens. “What else?”
“I like when you come on my face.” I thrust into her warm fist. “I like when you say my name like it’s a fuckin’ prayer.” I pull back and shove into her hand again, fucking her palm the way I desperately want to fuck her. “I like when you grind on me. Use me to feel good.”
Maddie sucks in a breath and it shoots straight to my dick, making it flex uncomfortably against the confines of my jeans. Reaching down, I shove them lower, so I can enjoy her touch completely unhindered.
Her hands are on me in an instant. One stroking my dick and the other cradling my balls in the way she knows I like. It feels sofucking good my vision blurs for a second. “I like when you touch me.”
“I like when you touch me too.” Maddie pulls away, stealing the warmth of her touch as she backs toward the bed to perch on the edge of the mattress. “So you should come over here and touch me.”
I shuck my pants, kicking them and everything else off as I take two long strides to wrap an arm around her waist. Pulling her naked body against mine, I drag her with me to the center of the mattress. Kneeling over her, I take in everything about the moment. “You’re fucking perfect.”
She starts to shake her head. To argue with me.
I won’t let her. Leaning down until she can’t see anything but me, I say the words she needs to hear. “You are a fucking force who doesn’t know her strength, Miss Miller.” I drink her in, breathe the scent of her skin deep into my lungs. “But you will. I’ll make sure of it.”
And I’ll take down anyone who gets in her way.
Maddie stares up at me, her voice soft when she says, “No one’s ever believed in me the way you do.”
“That’s because no one’s ever seen you the way I do.”
I’ve never wanted anyone the way I want her. Never needed to be wanted back the way I do. This thing with Maddie is different. Has been from the minute I laid eyes on her the night of the party. I know it.
She knows it.
Maddie’s hands fist into my hair as I lean close, the head of my dick notching against her. I stop, savoring the moment. The second where we’re caught between the before and the after.
Because after this, I won’t be able to walk away from her. I can feel it to my bones.
Her legs hook around mine, thighs spread wide as her hands move from my hair to my ass, gripping tight as she tries to force my body into hers. “Leo, please.”
I’m not trying to make her beg. I’m just trying to take my time. To do this right. I’m never going to get a second shot at this, and I want it to be perfect.
Everything she wants and more.
“Shh.” I grab Maddie’s arms, pulling them free so I can lace my fingers with hers, pressing our joined hands into the pillows above her head. “I’ll get there. I promise.”
I sink into her slowly. Carefully. It’s more for my benefit than hers. I wish I could say it’s because I want to memorize the feel of her body engulfing mine, but at this point I’m just trying to hang on until I give her what she needs.
Deserves.
“Leo.”
The needy whine of my name is almost more than I can take. “You’re killing me, sweetheart.”
