“I also have some ground rules,” Matthew said.
“Okay.”
“You can’t keep throwing the past up between us. I know I fucked up. I live with that every day. I messed up with you, Luna.”
“I don’t want to bring it up.”
“Lately, you’ve mentioned it a couple of times.”
“Oh. That’s because you asked why your declarations don’t mean much. I was just telling you that I heard them before. I’m not throwing it in your face.”
Matthew nodded.
“Anything else?” Luna asked.
“What I say goes.”
“Huh?”
“I’m in charge here, Luna. You want me, you can have me, but you will do what I say.”
“Er, I don’t think I like this one.”
“Trust me. That’s all I’m asking.”
She nodded, but she still wasn’t sure about it.
“I won’t hurt you, but I think I know how to make it good for you.”
“Right.”
“Do we have a deal?” he asked.
“Yes.” Would this be a big mistake?
Matthew removed his jacket. “Luna, take off your clothes.”
****
Matthew hung his leather cut on the banister and turned back to Luna.
“Huh?”
“Your clothes, take them off.” His cock was already hard as freaking rock. He’d beenstalkingagain. Not in a bad way, just sticking to her neighborhood for a chance to catch a glimpse of her. He wasn’t doing anyone any harm. Not looking in her bedroom window or attempting to watch her get changed. Nothing like that was happening. It was all very tame.
He’d just happened to be nearby.
Luna wore a pair of jeans and a shirt. Unlike when they were younger, these clothes fit. She used to have a habit of wearing clothes that were way too big for her, hiding her body. In the past few years, she’d grown more confident and was no longer hiding.
She looked so beautiful, a little unsure.
He expected her to throw him out, but she didn’t.
Her hands shook a little as she released the buttons of her shirt.
He caught a glimpse of her black lace bra beneath and stepped closer. She had opened all the buttons, and now it was up to him to push it off her body and let it drop to the floor.
Staring into her eyes, he ran his hands beneath the shirt and eased it off her body, waiting as it fell.
