Chapter Seventeen
Ava couldn’t seem to get her body to cool down. Every time she got close, he’d touch her, and her desire would heat up again.
The whole afternoon had been something she’d dreamed about. She was with a man who cared for her while shopping together and planned to cook together later. Although she felt the ache in her breasts and how her panties were sopping, she still tried to stay as calm as possible. She just didn’t know if that was going to be possible when it was just the two of them isolated in his condominium.
He pulled into his parking spot under the building and helped her out before grabbing the bag of food they’d bought.
She was plastered to his side on the ride up in the elevator, and it still wasn’t close enough for her.
Sean started pulling things out of the bag and setting them on the counter. “How about we put the things we need to in the refrigerator? We probably don’t want to start dinner for another hour.”
She nodded.
After everything was done, she looked around for something to do. When his arms came around her from behind and pulled her against his chest, she jumped.
“Easy, baby. I just want you to settle. I don’t want you to be nervous around me. Do you think you can do that?”
She relaxed against him and dropped her head back to rest against his shoulder. “I’ll try. I’m just not used to being in a man’s apartment.”
“Well, I hope you’re not afraid of me,” he said and nuzzled the side of her head.
She bit down on her lip. Should she be honest with him or keep trying to hide it? “I’m not afraid, Sean.”
“Then what, baby?”
She inhaled and gathered all her courage. “You make my body feel things it never had before or at least to this level.”
He stiffened. “Aww, woman. You can’t say things like that and not deal with the consequences.”
Her eyes slid closed as he rubbed his cock against her lower back. It felt like a steel pipe, and she wanted very much to explore it. “I thought you’d want the truth.”
“Oh, I do. Tell me, are your nipples hard?”
She gritted her teeth. They felt like hard little pebbles. “Yes. They ache.”
“Do you want me to make them feel better?”
Oh, God. If she let him, there would be no turning back or slowing him down. Was she ready for that? It was bound to happen sooner than later, but she hadn’t thought it would be so soon. Sharp arousal, unlike anything she’d felt, raced through her entire body.
“You don’t have to let me, baby. I know this is hard for you.”
She inhaled. “Touch them.”
He tightened his grip on her and rubbed his chin against the side of her head. “Are you sure? Because this might go farther than you’re ready for, and the last thing I want is to frighten or hurt you.”
“You won’t. I want to know what it feels like to have a man’s hands on me. A man who actually cares about me.”
“Oh, I definitely care, baby. I care very much.”
“Then touch me, please, Daddy.”
She smiled when he growled against her head.
“Say that again.”
“Touch me, Daddy.”
“Fuck, those are the sweetest words I’ve ever heard in my life.”
