“Seriously?”
“Yeah. You know, I’ve just always been a bottom. It’s just what stuck, I guess.”
Sem wets his lips. “So, I’ll be your first?”
“Yeah,” I say with a small smile. “You like that, huh?’
“Yeah. I do. A lot. You’ve been all of my firsts, so….”
“So, it’s only fair. By doing this, we will level the playing field.”
I reach down and touch the plug again, and Sem rolls onto his back.
“Enough with touching it.”
“Sorry, it’s just unexpected. Didn’t think you’d ever let me do that to you. But you were so there for it.”
“Yeah, well, I’d do pretty much anything for you, Maggie.”
I tuck myself against his chest and sigh, inhaling him. I nip at his skin and then lick it. “I know that.”
He sighs, his hands on my lower back, and then he stands up and brings us into the shower. I should chastise him for being so careless. His hand is still swollen but he iced it and told me he’d go get it checked by a doctor tomorrow, so I let it go. According to Whit, the van Beek men commonly get injured by doing reckless things. I guess I’ll just have to get used to it, especially if I plan to stick around. And I do.
After showering, I crawl on top of Sem and tuck myself against him. One of his large hands splays across my back, and he massages up my spine.
“God, your hands are fabulous,” I mutter, my lips brushing against his skin. “I really, really hope you didn’t break that one.”
“It’s fine. I’ve had worse.”
I lift my head and narrow my eyes at him. “Is that so? Do tell.”
“Not much to tell. Just broke a few body parts growing up doing stupid shit. This is nothing.”
He flexes his injured hand to show me that it’s okay. I grab onto it and press my mouth to his knuckles, kissing them softly.
His eyelids flutter, and he sighs.
“Maggie,” he says, and I nuzzle against his jaw.
“Yeah?”
“Can we…would you want to…”
I lean up a little farther so I can see his face. He works his lips between his teeth, and I trace one with my finger.
“I’m dying of suspense.”
He huffs and then meets my gaze. “I want to go on a date with you.”
My entire body freezes, and his cheeks turn pink. “We don’t have to….”
“Absolutely not. Do not take that back,” I grunt, sitting up and straddling his chest. “Ask me again.”
I’m practically bouncing with excitement as Sem grabs onto my bare ass and runs his thumbs across my skin.
“Will you go on a date with me?” he asks with a shy smile.
I pretend to think about it and then lean down and kiss him. “Of course, Sem. I’dloveto go on a date with you. Took you long enough.”
