He offers me his hand. I take it, slipping out of the SUV. He doesn’t let my hand go as he guides me inside. I use my other hand to find my keys.
“Take a man home with me is on my list.”
He hits the elevator button looking down at me. His hand holding mine tightens. “Are a lot of things on your list about other men?”
I can see the small tick in his jaw. Is it possible he’s jealous? I push that thought aside, knowing that it’s ridiculous. I mean, there is no way the man could be jealous. We just met recently.
“I haven’t counted but some.” It doesn’t state that I have to do anything with the man. Only that I would take a man home with me. But now that James has kissed me, I’ll need to add to that list because I definitely want to do a lot more than just bring him home.
“Hmm,” he says, pulling me into the elevator. He hits the button for me.
“Oh! My place is a mess!” I’d forgotten. “I didn’t plan on having anyone over.”
“I don’t care.”
“It’s small too.” I look him up and down. The man is huge. My fingers itch to touch his broad chest, but I control myself.
“I’m sure I’ll fit.” He gives me one of those winks that makes my heart flutter. He pulls me off the elevator with him, going to my door. I slip the key in, unlocking it.
“Come in.” I push the door open, letting go of James and running to turn off the alarm.
“This is my place.” Boxes are piled everywhere. Most of my furniture still needs to be built. “I’d ask if you want to watch a movie or something but I can’t figure that contraption out.” I point at my TV that’s sitting on the floor since I haven’t gotten around to building the stand yet.
James drops the to-go containers down on my coffee table.
“Get your list. I’ll get to work.” I guess he’s staying. I lick my lips, still tasting him there before I scurry off to get my list.5JamesIt doesn’t take me long to get the TV stand built. Carly has listed off all kinds of things that she has on her list. From going to the top of the Eiffel tower to a kiss in the rain. I think she’s holding some of them back, though.
I want to know them all, but I understand that it may be too soon. She’ll have to work her way up to telling me more of the personal ones. The one thing I do know is that I’ll work the rest of my life trying to make everything on that list a reality for her.
“You didn’t say the one about making out with someone at the wedding.” Her cheeks turn a rose red. She looks down at her notepad in her lap. She’s got her leg tucked under her.
“I already told you that one, so I didn’t mention it.”
“I think I can handle that one for you, sweetness.”
“You already did my first kiss.” She picks up her pen, crossing it off. I stand there in fucking shock. Her first kiss. How is that even possible? How has this beautiful creature walked this earth and not had anyone try to claim her? I can’t even comprehend it. I barely lasted a few hours around her before I had to taste her.
The thought had consumed me since the first moment I laid eyes on her. I was sure it would sate my need, but it didn’t, and now I want to taste all of her sweetness. Pin her to the sofa and pull down her pants and feast on her pussy. She’s ripe for the taking, and I want to take it all. If no one had ever kissed her beautiful lips before, then I know that no one has tasted her cunt. I reach down to adjust my cock.
“What?” She breaks me from my thoughts. Thank God because I swear just the thought of her coming on my tongue has my cock leaking cum. What has this girl done to me?
“I am just surprised it was your first kiss.”
“My parents.” She rolls her eyes. “They control a lot more than my social life.”
“But they let you move out here?”
She bites her bottom lip.
“Carly.”
She releases it.
“Let is a strong word. More like they didn’t have much of a choice.” I pick up her TV and put it on the stand.
“You’re over eighteen. No one can stop you.”
“They can if you don’t have a dime to your name.” That isn’t a problem. I have plenty to give her. She can have it all. The only thing I need is her. “But I found out about the trust Grams left me. So they didn’t have much of a choice in the matter.”
