Her hands came down and started smoothing the fabric on my chest. Her eyes stayed on mine, though. “I have no one else to compare you to, or any other contestants to choose from. You could totally suck at this and I wouldn’t know it,” she teased.
I lifted my right hand to brush some loose strands of her dark hair behind her ear. “Oh, I’m going to suck alright,” I teased back. “I’m going to suck all kinds of things, baby.”
Her voice went from a light flirt to a rusty whisper. “Nico…”
I leaned down and pressed my lips to the soft skin under her jaw. “I’m going to suck on those sweet tits of yours,” I told her, outlining some of the things I was going to do her. “I’m going to suck on your porcelain skin and leave my mark all up and down your body.” Another kiss, and this one elicited a quiet moan from her lips. Either that, or it was my filthy promises that were causing her to spread her legs wider and let out those little whimpers. “I’m going to suck on that sensitive little pebble between your legs,” I continued. “You know, the one hidden between your soft, tender pussy lips.” Mia gasped and let her head fall back, giving me more access to her unblemished skin. “My lips, teeth, and tongue are going to touch every inch of your body by the time the sun comes up, Mia.”
Her hands fisted in my shirt as her head came up, forcing me to pull back. Her russet gaze searched my grey one. “I’m…I’m nervous, Nico,” she admitted. “I…I’ve never done this before, but more than that…” She trailed off, her eyes glistening a bit.
“More than that, what, baby?”
“I’m…I’m…it’s kind of scaring me how badly I want this,” she confessed. “How badly I want you. I…I know it sounds cliché, but I’ve never felt like this before. I’ve never felt this…need before. Not like this.”
I stood there, absorbing what she was telling me, and it was everything I could do not to drag her to the nearest church and marry her this minute. But, unlike me, who has had a chance to watch Mia grow up and knows everything about her, she didn’t know me. She knew who I was, and she was attracted to me, but she deserved time to breathe. And I could give her that. However, it would be after I spent all night releasing myself inside her body over, and over again.
“Do you trust me?”
Mia gifted me with the sweetest smile I’ve ever seen. “How could I not?” she replied. “You’ve been watching me and protecting me most of my life, Nico. Of course, I trust you.”
The weight of the world lifted with her words. I hadn’t realized how important my question was until she answered it. Even if she never came to love me as much as I loved her, it was imperative that she trust me. A man was worthless if any of the women in his care didn’t trust him.
I clasped her face in my hands and locked my eyes onto hers. “Then trust me when I tell you that I swear, Mia, I swear to God that I will protect what you’re feeling right now the same way I’ve protected your body all these years. Turn over everything you’re feeling to me and I will guard it with my life, Mia. I swear it.”
Worry jumped into her eyes. “I’m on birth control, but…well, I know where I’ve been,” she said, the implications of her concerns loud and clear.
I ran my thumb back and forth across her jaw. “Mia, I haven’t been with anyone since long before I spoke with your brother.” Her eyes popped in disbelief. “Once I decided I wanted you for myself, being with someone else would have felt like cheating, and I’m not a cheater, baby.”
“So, you haven’t been with anyone in over a year?”
“No,” I confirmed. Her eyes started darting around and I finally willed my dick to go down. Passion had to be set aside for this.
Mia had questions and concerns, and I needed to address those before she could give herself over to me freely. I wanted her out of her mind with passion, and that couldn’t happen if she had unanswered questions. She was already nervous, and we both knew she was going to experience pain before pleasure took over, so I didn’t need anything else occupying her thoughts while
