She looked down at her jeans and t-shirt. She made a face that he guessed was because her clothing looked grungy.
“Yes, please.”
He walked into a closet and came out with one of his t-shirts. “Wear this until we can get your things unpacked.”
She was startled and then froze when he drew her dirty shirt up and over her head.
“Wait,” she said.
He didn’t want to push her too much, but he also wanted her to get used to him and what he’d expect from her. “I’ve already seen you naked, baby.”
“I know, it’s just…”
“You’ll get used to it the more you do it.”
Her grip on the shirt loosened enough for him to lift it up and off. He went for her tennis shoes and jeans next.
He unhooked her bra. “You’ll be more comfortable without the bra.”
She was glad when he pulled the shirt he gave her to wear over her head.
He pressed a kiss to her forehead. “Get in. We’ll take a few hours’ nap. I don’t want us to sleep too long. Then we won’t be able to sleep tonight.”
She nodded, pulled back the blanket, and slid under the sheet.
A few minutes later, he returned to the room with his boxers on. She watched him close the drapes to keep the light out, making the room in deep shadows.
Nate slid into bed next to her. He wanted to kiss her in theworst way, but his body demanded he take her and make her his, and he knew she wasn’t ready for it.
He turned her face away from him with her back against her chest. He pressed his lips against the back of her head. “Get some rest.”
It took several minutes before she finally slept.
Nate tightened his grip on her, closed his eyes, and went to sleep.
Tessa moving around was what woke him up. He looked at the time and saw they had been in bed for over two hours.
She stretched and rolled onto her back.
He grinned at her confusion before she woke enough to remember.
“Hey. Did you have a good nap?” he asked.
Her eyes stayed trained on him as she nodded.
“Are you ready to get up?”
It seemed to take a full minute before she finally nodded.
He couldn’t go another moment without a kiss. His hand cupped the side of her face. “I need a kiss.”
Tessa reached up and ran her finger over his lips. “Yes.”
Then he bent his head and pressed his lips against hers. He rolled until he had her pinned beneath his chest. He tried to keep his cock from touching her and maybe scaring her. He could tell she was already apprehensive.
Her taste went to his head and made his cock harder than it had ever been.
Fuck. It was going to be next to impossible for him to release her. He knew it would have to be soon, but he couldn’t let her go until he had a little more of her.
