She shakes her head. “Elliott, I was just reaching for a—”

My hold tightens on her. “I don’t care. You need to take care of yourself. If you’d fallen… fuck, if you’d fallen, I don’t know what…”

My voice trails off because there’s a vulnerability that I’m not used to feeling, let alone talking about. I reach up, putting a hand on each side of her face, forcing her to look at me. “Just promise me that you won’t be doing any more climbing. You need something, ask me and I’ll get it.”

“You know that’s ridiculous, right?”

I move my hands to the sides of her neck. Her pulse is beating rapidly under my palm, and I don’t know if it’s from her almost fall or me. “Just promise me, Camille.”

She wets her lips, and it takes everything in me to not kiss her. She blinks up at me. “I promise.”

I let out a sigh of relief and nod my head. “Okay, good.”

She reaches up, and I fully expect her to push me away from her, but she surprises me when she puts both her hands over mine. She doesn’t try to remove mine or anything, and we sit here, staring into each other’s eyes until I know I can’t hold back anymore. “I’m going to kiss you.”

I’m not asking for permission, I’m just letting her know. Her only reaction is her eyes get rounder, but she doesn’t say no, and that’s all I need to lean forward and press my lips to hers. I mean to take my time and let her get accustomed to me, but as soon as her soft, pliant lips are against mine, I lose all train of thought. I tilt her head to the side, giving me better access to her mouth. Her hands slide from mine and go to my chest, and I can feel that touch vibrate through my whole body.

The kiss is everything I knew it would be, but even as my tongue strokes against hers and she whimpers, I feel like I can’t get close enough to her.

I put my hands at her waist and lift her up. Her eyes pop open as I settle her onto my lap. She pulls her mouth away, and I take in her wet swollen lips and the way her eyes are filled with desire. I want nothing more than to take her right now, but I’m forcing myself to slow down.

“Are you okay?” I ask her because she’s looking at me in shock.

She nods, and this time I ask her, “I want to kiss you again. Will you let me?”

She bites on to her swollen lip and nods her head. I don’t hesitate in kissing her again. I pull her in closer to me so she no doubt can feel the press of my erection against her core. She presses her hips down into mine and whimpers as I ravage her mouth. The only thing that stops me is the sound of her belly rumbling.

I pull back, and her face is crimson red. She mumbles as she tries to get off my lap. “Well, that’s embarrassing. I’m sorry… I feel like a bottomless pit lately.”

I hold her where she’s at. “There’s nothing embarrassing about it. You’re eating for two now.” I put my hand over her slightly swollen belly, and it increases the intimacy between us tenfold.

She laughs. “Yeah, uh, not very sexy, huh?”

She tries to get up again, and I pull her back down on my lap. “Trust me, you’re sexy, Camille.”

She starts to stutter. “I know you don’t mean it, but it’s nice to hear anyway. I feel like a frump these days.”

I lift my hips so she can feel my hard-on. “You’re sexy, Camille. There’s no doubt about it. I’m like this when I just look at you.”

I want to kiss her and stay right here just like we are. There’s a vulnerability to her, and this is the closest she’s allowed me to get to her. I’m afraid if I let her go, she’s going to put the wall back up. As I sit here debating, her stomach growls again, making the decision for me. I stand up with her in my arms, and she lets out a yelp and holds on to me, her legs tightening around my waist. But at least instead of fighting me, she puts her head on my shoulder. “Where are we going?”

I fuckin’ wish I could say bedroom. “The kitchen. You’re going to sit down and rest while I fix us a meal.”

When we get into the kitchen, I kick a chair out with my foot and set her down in it. Unable to resist, I plant a kiss on her lips before standing up to my full height. “All right, you want a snack while you wait?”
