Herdeadmother apparently.
I hadn’t forgotten that significant detail, but I wasn’t sure how to broach it. If I brought it up now, Riley would close off. I’ll bet she’d figure it crossed some invisible line she still had drawn between us.
I’d never been in the master bedroom before for obvious reasons. The furniture and decor unmistakably belonged to Riley though. I recognised the headboard that had teeth marks in it after an unforgettable night when Riley had sat on my face while I made her come three times. Then there was the dresser that I’d fucked her against on her birthday.
“So.” Riley hovered in the doorway. “How do we go about this? Do we both just take our clothes off?” She wrung her hands together. “And lights on or off?”
She was nervous, which was kind of cute. I guess the last three times had been too spontaneous for her nerves to take hold. I’ll bet she hadn’t stopped thinking about this moment since she agreed to it on Sunday. I hadn’t stopped thinking about it either, but nerves weren’t the reason for that.
“I’m going to go out on a limb and guess you’ve never done this.”
Riley levelled me by narrowing her steel blue eyes. “Never done what?”
“Had casual sex.”
She crossed her arms over her chest. “I haven’t been celibate since we broke up, Caufield.”
My stomach turned. I didn’t need the reminder. Pushing all thoughts of other guys, particularly Hayes Braddock, aside, I stepped closer.Iwas the guy with Riley right now. Nobody else. And I planned on rewarding her for that.
Riley hadn’t bothered to get ready, which I liked. Her face was free of makeup, her hair was straight and hanging well past her shoulders, and she was dressed in comfortable clothes.
I came to a stop directly in front of her. I towered over her. She had to crane her head to look at me. Tucking her hair behind her shoulder, I crouched down and pressed my lips to her neck. She inhaled sharply
“We start by setting the mood,” I told her.
She nodded thoughtfully. “Right.”
Her skin was warm and soft, and she smelt delicious. I kissed my way along her neck, pausing to nibble on her earlobe. She was a sucker for that. As I danced my fingertips along her collarbone she watched me in a daze, her hooded eyes following to see what I’d do next.
“No kissing,” she reminded me.
I licked the bare skin behind her ear. “Any other rules?”
She thought for a moment. “No cuddling.”
“Got it.”
Edging her backwards, she jolted when her back hit the wall. This would usually be the point when I’d kiss her senseless, but I was in no position to break the rules. I was at Riley’s mercy right now.
Reaching around her, she jumped when I slammed the door closed. She was so edgy it was adorable.
“Is Parker here?”
“No. She’ll be gone all morning.”
Good. We didn’t need to worry about noise. Especially good for Riley, because she’d never been quiet with me.
I trailed one finger down her throat until I reached her sweater zipper. Unzipping it slowly, saliva pooled in my mouth with every new inch of skin that appeared. She wasn’t wearing anything underneath. Her nipples hardened when I pushed the zip-up sweater off her shoulders. For such a petite girl, her breasts had always been incredibly full. A perfect handful I couldn’t resist.
I pulled one into my mouth now, my tongue lapping against the hardened bud. As one to play fair, my hand palmed the other, squeezing roughly. Riley arched into my grip, a slow moan drifting through her parted lips.
“Have you decided, Caufield?” she breathily questioned.
“Decided on what?”
“How you’re going to fuck me.”
I was torn. While part of me wanted to bend her over the bed and fuck her hard, the other wanted to take my time and keep her close.
