felt around my throat, reminding myself constantly what Ciro is capable of. But that person? The one who attacked me so viciously? It wasn’t Ciro. It’s not who I’m looking at now. The man I’m looking at now would do anything to protect me—including fight against his own instincts, keeping himself at arm’s length when that’s not what either of us really wants.

Ciro swallows as he absorbs my words. His fingertips change direction, retracing their path and traveling up my thigh again.

It’s just a light touch, barely even sexual at all, but it makes my pussy clench as sparks fly through my body.

He shifts his weight on the bed, turning to face me more fully, and this time, it’s his whole palm that glides over my body, mapping the contours of my hip and stomach. He keeps doing that, trailing his hand over my hips, my thighs, my ribs. He has to lean over to reach more of me from where he sits, and when he gets frustrated with that, he kneels on the bed beside me, both hands starting to touch me.

He slides them up my stomach, dragging my tank top up with them, and when he reaches the undersides of my breasts, my breath catches. My toes curl, and I work hard to keep my hips from shifting as molten need gathers inside me, making my clit throb.

More. Please, more. Take what you want, Ciro.

Slowly, agonizingly slowly, he slides his hands up and under the bunched fabric of my tank top. His large palms glide over my breasts, and he makes a small noise in his throat when he feels how stiff and hard my nipples are. His thumbs explore them, circling and brushing over them, and the look in his eyes as he gazes down at my chest makes a strange surge of emotion fill me.

He looks fucking awed. Like he can’t believe I’m real.

I want to tell him that I am. That this is—this thing that sparks between us. But I don’t say anything, just watch him intently as he continues to explore me. He spends so long on my breasts that I think I’m close to coming just from his intense focus on my nipples. It’s getting harder and harder to control my breath, and every deep inhale I take shoves more of my breasts into his greedy palms.

Finally, he drags his hands out from beneath the fabric of my tank top. For a moment, he rests them on my ribcage, holding me as he stares down at me. Then something shifts in his expression, and he grabs the hem of my shirt and pulls it up. I arch my back a little, trying to help him a bit without moving more than necessary, since I promised I wouldn’t. He gets the tank top over my head and leaves the fabric draped around my forearms as his gaze travels back down to my bare chest.

This time, the noise he makes is almost a groan, and I bite my lower lip.

Jesus, this is so much harder than I thought it would be.

It’s almost fucking impossible to stay still when he’s looking at me like that, staring at me like he wants to worship me and devour me all at once.

He touches my breasts again, seeming even more fascinated and turned on now that he can see what he’s doing. He rolls one nipple lightly between his thumb and forefinger, and I clench my thighs as slick arousal seeps from my pussy.

All he’s done is look at me and play with my boobs, and I’m fucking dripping for him.

He’s hard as a rock for me too. I can see his cock straining against his pants as he drags his large hands down the curve of my waist. When he hits the waistband of my pants, he pauses again.

His gaze darts back up to mine, his brows pulling together. Not like he’s asking permission, exactly, but like he’s looking for something in my expression.

I stare at him, taking in every bit of his face in the dim light. There’s so much I want to say, but he’s been utterly quiet this whole time, and I feel like I should be too. If I speak, I’m pretty sure I’ll end up begging him to touch me, and that’s not how I want this to happen.

I want him to decide. Every step of the way.

So once again, I just wait, keeping my body as soft and relaxed as possible beneath
