I scurry off to get my list.

It doesn’t take me long to get the TV stand built. Carly has listed off all kinds of things that she has on her list. From going to the top of the Eiffel tower to a kiss in the rain. I think she’s holding some of them back, though.

I want to know them all, but I understand that it may be too soon. She’ll have to work her way up to telling me more of the personal ones. The one thing I do know is that I’ll work the rest of my life trying to make everything on that list a reality for her.

“You didn’t say the one about making out with someone at the wedding.” Her cheeks turn a rose red. She looks down at her notepad in her lap. She’s got her leg tucked under her.

“I already told you that one, so I didn’t mention it.”

“I think I can handle that one for you, sweetness.”

“You already did my first kiss.” She picks up her pen, crossing it off. I stand there in fucking shock. Her first kiss. How is that even possible? How has this beautiful creature walked this earth and not had anyone try to claim her? I can’t even comprehend it. I barely lasted a few hours around her before I had to taste her.

The thought had consumed me since the first moment I laid eyes on her. I was sure it would sate my need, but it didn’t, and now I want to taste all of her sweetness. Pin her to the sofa and pull down her pants and feast on her pussy. She’s ripe for the taking, and I want to take it all. If no one had ever kissed her beautiful lips before, then I know that no one has tasted her cunt. I reach down to adjust my cock.

“What?” She breaks me from my thoughts. Thank God because I swear just the thought of her coming on my tongue has my cock leaking cum. What has this girl done to me?

“I am just surprised it was your first kiss.”

“My parents.” She rolls her eyes. “They control a lot more than my social life.”

“But they let you move out here?”

She bites her bottom lip.

“Carly.”

She releases it.

“Let is a strong word. More like they didn’t have much of a choice.” I pick up her TV and put it on the stand.

“You’re over eighteen. No one can stop you.”

“They can if you don’t have a dime to your name.” That isn’t a problem. I have plenty to give her. She can have it all. The only thing I need is her. “But I found out about the trust Grams left me. So they didn’t have much of a choice in the matter.”

“I take it they’re pissed?” They’d lost their control over her.

“At first. As much as my mother drives me nuts, I love her too. So I agreed to meet some of the men she’s been trying to marry me off to. I don’t think she knows this is the twenty-first century.” She lets out a small laugh. Yeah, that shit won’t be happening. I’ll be the only man around here—or anywhere, for that matter.

“Why don’t you pick a movie for us to watch?”

“Oh. You don’t have to stay. I’ve already taken so much of your time.”

“Yet you haven’t told me all the things on the list.”

Again her face flushes. “It’s sex stuff.”

“Hmm.” As I thought. There isn’t anything on her list I couldn’t help her with. “Find us a movie, sweetness. We still have a bachelorette and bachelor party to plan.”

“Oh God I totally forgot!”

I take the remote over toward her. There is still a lot of work that needs to be done, but I don’t want to do it too fast.

The slower I go the more time I have a reason to be in her space. Whatever time I can get with her will have to suffice for now until I get her to move in with me. I know I need to take baby steps, though, so I don’t scare her away.

“We’ll figure it out, but I’m not sure Reed will have many people to invite. If you haven’t noticed, he can be a dick.”

“Not to Tinsley.” She lets out a dreamy sigh. The fuck. Does she have a thing for Reed? “Their love is so strong. I have no doubt they’ll be together forever. I wish my mom could understand that’s what I want.”

Ah. It’s
