“Because I don’t want to do anything that will scare you.”
“Like what?”
A shiver raced up her spine when he stalked over to her and crouched in front of her. He laid his hands on her bare knees and looked at her.
“Baby, if you’re a virgin, you’ll need to tell me at some point.”
“Why?”
He chuckled. “You’ll find out when we get to know each other and decide we want to take this relationship to a new level.”
She tried to decipher what he meant.
He stood in front of her and held out a hand. “Let’s get you fed.”
Her gaze went to the bulge that was right in front of her face. She couldn’t understand the massive need she felt to reach out and touch it.
Her gaze flew up when he growled.
“Now, pet.”
Her eyes widened at the authority in his tone, and she instantly obeyed him without thinking about it. He pulled her up and wrapped his arms around her. He used one hand to tilt her head back.
“You’re so pretty.”
She wanted to shake her head, but he prevented it, and then his head was descending. He stopped when his lips were a breath away from her.
“If you don’t want me to kiss you, tell me now.”
A shiver racked her body, and she wrapped her arms around his waist. “I very much want you to kiss me.”
He moaned, closed his eyes, and pressed his lips against hers.
It felt like she was on fire. Every nerve in her body tingled and sparked as he continued to kiss her. She opened her mouth when she felt his tongue and was surprised and excited when he’d slipped it into her mouth. She knew about French kissing and sex. While she had a little experience, what she had was terrible. With Devon, she found that she really enjoyed it.
A ragged moan slid from his throat when she sucked his tongue deeper into her mouth. She had no idea why the thought even popped into her head, but it felt so right, and by the way Devon was acting, he enjoyed it, too.
Her body tensed, and she whimpered when he lifted his head. “More.”
