her hand against my chest, she began moving over me.

Aspen had learned a lot in the last few weeks. Her hips moved back and forth, riding and working me over like I was the novice. She watched me, toying with her lip, and I knew she was about to tease the fuck out of me.

She slowed.

I growled, reaching for her hips.

“No.” She laughed, stopping completely.

“Aspen.” I growled again, this one sounded more savage than I’d intended, and I closed my eyes, trying to calm down. My breaths came at a rapid pace. She was making me lose control.

“No. This is for me,” she said. “All me.”

I groaned, but damn, this was what she wanted.

And when she came, it was the best fucking thing I’d ever seen.

My girl was stunning.

But now it was my turn, and grabbing one of her tits, I flipped us. She squealed in surprise, but gentle had gone out the door when she took me in her mouth. I rode her hard, and it wasn’t long until I felt her come for a second time in my arms, and I let myself go right after her.

My lips found her throat, and I kissed her.

What the fuck did I ever do right to get her?

In the morning, after we showered together, she trapped me.

She’d been touching me, kissing me, and I took her over the counter. I was weak. I was whipped.

Then, as we were both dressing, she said, “I want to know why.”

I knew what she was asking. She wanted to know why we hadn’t been having sex the last couple weeks.

I didn’t want to talk about it. I hauled a shirt over my head, yanked it down, and shrugged. “I don’t know.”

I started for the door.

“Oh no.” She raced for it, getting there fast.

I glared at her, but she was cute. Hella cute.

She stuck her lip out, trying not to smile at me, her hands on her hips. In a tank top, no bra, and cute shorts with a bow on them, she was not giving me the intimidating look I knew she was trying for.

I reached down, slid my hand inside her shirt, and cupped her breast. She gasped, her eyes closing, and I leaned into her. She pushed back against the door, and I nuzzled her just under her chin. I’d learned it was the spot I liked the best. If I kissed her at just the right angle, her entire body would shiver in my arms.

I murmured over her neck. “Knowing my mom, she probably has an entire spread upstairs waiting for us—complete with homemade lattes and gourmet cappuccino, if that’s a thing.”

She shivered, just as I knew she would, but she pushed me away. “No. I want to know.”

I sighed. “Aspen.”

“Blaise.” She grabbed my chin, yanking me down to look at her.

There was a lot of glaring.

“I want to know,” she said again. “Honesty—I deserve that, and you know it.”

Damn. She was right. But I still didn’t want to.

I did anyway. “We’re moving fast, and you only told me two weeks ago how old you really are.”

My words even sounded stilted to me.

Her hand fell, and I saw the hurt flare in her eyes as she looked away.

“Hey.”

She stepped out from my arms, ducking behind me.

I whirled with her. “Hey.”

She hugged herself. “You weren’t thinking like that when you touched me last night and this morning.”

“I’m a guy, but I’m trying here. I’m trying to be honorable.”

She frowned, her eyebrows pulling together. “Honorable?”

“You’re young. I’m a really big dipshit. I just—I’m too selfish to walk from you, and I’m not going to. But I don’t want to… I don’t know.”

“What?”

Hurt her?

Harm her?

Ruin her?

I felt like I was going to do all three of those things, but I couldn’t deny her. Never that. That’d be like ripping my own heart out.

“I’m just trying to do the right thing here. For once in my life.”

Her eyes narrowed. She chewed at her lip. I hated when she did that, because then I wanted to chew at her lip. She shook her head, slowly. “Well, stop. That’s stupid.”

I laughed. “That’s stupid? Trying to do the right thing?”

“Yeah.” Her hands came to my waist and her fingers tucked into my jeans. “We’re together, right?”

“Fuck yeah.” This girl had such power over me. I cupped the back of her neck, unable to hold back the surge of possession I felt. She was mine. Mine to protect. Mine to care for. All mine.

A smug-but-happy look pulled at her mouth,
