your last? Maybe. But you’re not the kind of guy who needs another comparison.” She threw my words back at me playfully.
“There hasn’t been anyone else,” I confirmed, my voice coming out rougher than I thought possible. “There never will be. You’re it.” I shrugged.
“That’s it?” she teased with a devilish glint in her eyes. “That’s all you’ve got?”
“Challenge accepted.” I splayed my hands over her hips and tugged her to the edge of the counter, splitting her knees so I stood between her thighs. Then I stripped her shirt off, leaving her in a black bra that I wanted to rip away with my teeth. “Fuck, you’re gorgeous.”
“It’s only fair.” She tugged at my shirt, and I helped her get it off. It landed somewhere next to hers.
“You’ve never been one for grand gestures, Savannah.” I kissed her jaw, then worked my way down her neck when her head rolled back. “You’ve always preferred the private to the public. I thought about the jumbotron, or some huge spectacle at tomorrow’s game, but that wouldn’t win you over.”
She gasped as I sucked at the patch of skin where her shoulder met her neck. “And…what would?”
“Complete and total transparency. Honesty.” I flicked open the clasp of her bra, and slipped it off her arms, then dropped it on the hardwood.
“Go on?”
“I propose we amend our original deal.” I cupped her breasts and stroked my thumbs over her nipples, then pressed my dick against the cabinetry when she moaned. Fuck, I needed her. I’d have her, too, but not until this was settled.
“How so?” Her hands trailed down my chest, then traced the line of my abs. I tensed and grabbed onto my willpower for all it was worth.
“First rule was that I make the rules.” I gave her a cocky grin. “I actually like that one.”
“It goes.” She raised a single brow and flicked open the button of my shorts.
“Fine, we both make the rules—” I hissed when she reached beneath my waistband and wrapped her fingers around my cock. “Savannah. Butterfly, you have to give me a second.”
“We both make the rules,” she teased, squeezing me just the way I liked.
“Fuck. Agreed.” I lowered my head to her breasts and sucked one of her nipples into my mouth.
“Hendrix!”
Now that was a sound I liked echoing off the walls. I licked and teased the tips of her breasts until her breaths came in quick pants and her hands gripped my biceps.
“Rule two is out. Everyone in the whole world will know you’re mine, and I’m yours, and that’s the way it is. No exceptions,” I growled as I hooked my thumbs into the waist of her yoga pants.
“I’m good with that.” She arched her hips, and I peeled the fabric off her long, luscious legs. “As long as you strike rule number three officially because this is going to happen more than once today, alone.” Her voice was all breathy, and it made my cock twitch.
Or maybe it was the sight of that black thong nestled right where I wanted my tongue.
“Agreed.” I kicked out of my shoes. “Rule number four?”
“Which one was that again?” She shoved my shorts and my boxer briefs down my hips, and I let them fall to the floor. “You have so many rules. It’s hard to remember.” She glanced down between us, then licked her lips. “But I definitely remember that.”
She reached for me, and I captured her wrists. “We’re not done here yet. You touch me again, and I’ll fuck you across the kitchen and into next week.”
“Promises, promises.” She leaned forward and nipped at my lower lip.
“Rule four was we agree on the date.” I released her hands and sent mine between her thighs. “You’re so damned wet I can feel you through the fabric.”
“I’m always wet for you.” She kissed my neck.
“God, Savannah.” I wasn’t going to make it. All the words I’d planned out were going to go to waste because I couldn’t fight my need when it came to her…but I could fight my need for her. I saw a pair of scissors next to the empty moving box at the end of the island and took them in my hand. Then I snipped the strings holding her panties together.
“Hendrix!” Her mouth dropped as I cleared the fabric away, leaving her completely, utterly naked.
“I’ll buy you a thousand new pairs so I can do the same to them,” I promised with a growl, dropping the scissors into the box and
