She grabs my face, and her mouth collides with mine, our tongues tangling together. “I’m in love with you too, Knox. As much as you drive me batshit crazy, I can’t stay away from you. And I don’t want to.”

Lowering my hands, I cup her ass, then lift her. Instinctively, her legs wrap around me, and her high heels fall to the floor with a thud. “I’ll never make the mistake of walking away from you ever again.”

“Good,” she mutters, clinging to me as she kisses my neck.

I walk us toward her bedroom and carefully position us on the bed. “Now tell me somethin’,” I say as I tower over her. “You like it when I order you around, don’t you?”

“Only when we’re naked.”

I snicker. “Even I know you’re too strong-willed to listen to me fully clothed.”

“And don’t you forget it.”

“Gotta admit, I’m terrified of fucking this up, Hads. Promise me you won’t give up on me when I inevitably do?”

“I promise to send your brother, father, and Grandma to knock some sense into you if that happens…” She wiggles underneath me.

“Fuck, that’s frightening.”

She giggles. “Stop worrying. We’ll figure this out as we go, okay?”

“I just want to give you the best.”

“Then take off your goddamn clothes already,” she hisses, tugging at my shirt again.

“Yes, ma’am.” I flash her a wink, then kick off my boots. While lying on the bed, she watches me remove my shirt and jeans.

“Why are you still dressed?” I arch a brow, standing in only my boxers.

“I was waitin’ for you to remove them,” she tells me like it’s obvious.

“Don’t mind if I do.”

Gently, I lift her foot, then slide my hand up her thigh until I reach her hip. When I remove her tights, I’m greeted with a fire engine red thong.

“Did you wear those for me?”

“You wish,” she teases as she lifts her hips.

Once her bare legs are on display, I kneel on the mattress between her legs and tower over her.

“I can’t wait to feel your pussy around me,” I murmur inches from her face. “But first, I’m gonna taste you until you squirt on my tongue.”

She hums as her head falls back. “Yes, please.”

After I remove her skirt and blouse, I unhook her bra. She’s left in only her panties, and the gorgeous sight has me salivating for her sweet cunt.

“Fuck, you’re stunning, baby. These tits…” I wrap my lips around her nipple and suck.

She moans when I palm the other one, then pinch her hard bud.

“Everything about you is so goddamn sexy. I wanna take my time and devour every inch of your soft skin.”

“Please stop torturing me,” she begs, arching her back.
