“Maybe I’m not, though,” she confessed. “Maybe I want more.”
A smile crossed his lips, heat entering his eyes. “Yeah, baby?”
“Yes.”
“Then that’s what we’ll work toward. One step at a time.”
He drew her toward him, lips pressing against hers. A small groan escaped her as he ran his tongue over her lips.
“That’s it, baby girl. Let me hear how much you like me kissing you.”
“I do. I like it a lot.”
“Good girl.” He gave her ass a light squeeze, making her squeal.
“Daddy!”
“Tender, huh?”
“Yes.” She pouted. “Some mean man spanked me.”
“Hmm, you must have been naughty, Little girl.”
“Never.” She grinned, before it faded away. “I am sorry.”
“I know you are, Ladybug. Don’t stress. I know you don’t like to be in trouble. But you aren’t. Not anymore. That’s the good thing about this sort of relationship. With a punishment, everything is forgiven. But next time, you need to tell Daddy when you have a stalker.”
“I really hope there isn’t a next time.”
“Me too, baby girl. Now, kiss me again. I’m not done with you.”
As she kissed him, he ran his hand up her back and then around to lightly cup her breast. Drawing back, he stared down at her. “Is this all right?”
“Yes,” she said in a breathless voice.
“Good girl. You tell me if it’s not. I’m only going to touch you over your clothing, all right?”
Damn it. She wanted to tell him to strip her naked and kiss her all over. Part of her was kind of frustrated with how slow things were going. And the other part of her was so happy that he was taking care of her this well. That he was mindful of her limits.
It was a weird place to be in. Wanting more. Yet, knowing she’d probably freak out if they went too fast.
“Can I . . . can I touch your chest?” she asked. “Take off your shirt?”
He immediately pulled his T-shirt off. Whoa. His chest was covered in tattoos. She ran her fingers over them. Most of them looked tribal. Swirls and shapes. But there was a tree right in the middle of his chest.
“It’s the tree of wisdom,” he said.
“Is it okay if I touch you?”
“Baby girl, I’d like nothing more than for you to touch me.”
She sucked in a breath, running her hand over him. “You’re so hot. And smooth.”
“Why thank you, yes I am.” He gave her an exaggerated wink and she giggled. “I definitely have some smooth moves.”
He ran his thumb over her nipple and her breath caught. Holy heck. It was like her nipple was connected to her clit. She swore that her clit throbbed as he touched her nipple, rubbing his thumb back and forth.
“You like that, baby girl?”
“Please, more.”
“Whatever you want.” He lightly pinched her nipple, and it was like a lightning bolt going off through her body.
“Oh . . . ohhh. I’ve never felt anything like that before.”
His grin was smug. But she couldn’t fault him for that. The man had skills.
However, she didn’t want this to be all one-sided. She ran her finger over his nipple. “I don’t really know what I’m doing. I just . . . only what I’ve read.”
“I’ll like whatever you do to me, baby.”
Shoot. She sure hoped so. Because she had all these urges and she wanted to try them.
Moving her mouth to his nipple, she gave into the impulse that was riding her hard and sucked on his nipple.
“Fuck, baby girl. Just like that. Yes.”
A rush of pleasure made her head spin. She’d never had any sort of feelings like that when she had sex with Matthew. It had always been about him. Whatever got him off the quickest. Most of the time, she’d been left wanting.
Which made her wonder, not for the first time, why she’d continued to date the bastard.
Unfortunately, she’d been stupid and lonely. She’d been upset about Cash disappearing. And he’d preyed on her vulnerability.
“That’s it, baby girl. Now the other nipple. Fuck, yes. You are so good at that. My clever girl. Look at you, making me all hot and bothered.”
She drew back to give him a pleased smile. “You really liked that?”
“Baby, if I liked it any more, I’d be making an absolute embarrassment of myself and coming in my pants.”
Her eyes widened. “Really?”
“Really. Now, kiss me again. We both need to go to sleep, and I’m going to take a moment to calm down.”
She was blushing as she kissed him again. But she was also pleased.
Maybe . . . just maybe she really could do this.

“Are you sure I didn’t look silly?” she asked as Hack took hold of her hand and led her into a huge ice cream parlor. Whoa, how many flavors did they have in here?
“Of course you didn’t look silly. You looked gorgeous.”
“With glasses on?” She gave him a skeptical look. She couldn’t believe she had to wear glasses. Well, she could. Because she’d known that her eyesight was blurring. She wasn’t stupid. Just in denial.
