One thousand words! Pay up!
Ezra
Okay, just so you know, I’m putting my book away for you.
Scarlett
Watch out. That might be love.
When I openthe cottage door this time, Scarlett stands by the desk, leaning casually against its edge. Her laptop sits open behind her. The teasing confidence in her eyes tells me she’s ready to collect her reward.
“One thousand exactly?” I ask, stepping inside and shutting the door.
“Well, one thousand sixty-nine,” she confirms, eyes never leaving mine.
I chuckle at her anticipation, closing the distance between us. I enjoy how her breath hitches as she leans in to kiss me.
“I’m proud of you.”
“I am, too. Thanks for the motivation.”
I tip her jaw upward, and she swallows hard.
“You’re very good for my productivity.”
“Thrilled to help.” My thumb brushes along her lower lip.
She grips my shirt lightly, pulling me closer toward her.
“You’re insatiable,” I mutter.
“Is that a problem?”
“Hell no. It’s very much welcomed.”
Our mouths brush together, tongues teasingly swiping each other’s. I grow hard as our kisses grow more urgent. Desire simmers below the surface as Scarlett pulls away.
“Do you think we’re making a mistake?” she asks, and it’s obvious she’s trying to protect her heart as her hands trail up my stomach.
“No.” I don’t hesitate when I say it. I brush loose strands of hair behind her ear. “Do you?”
“It doesn’t feel like it. I just don’t want to be your regret.”
“That would never happen,” I admit.
“Ezra,” she whispers.
“I’m serious,” I reply. “I can’t explain what you’re doing to me. I’ve never felt like this before.”
“Same,” she confesses. “And it scares the shit out of me.”
“Mm,” I say between capturing her lips. She moans into my mouth. “Be fearless, Scarlett.”
I slide my hand into her panties, enjoying how slick she is for me. As I rub her clit, she wraps her arms around my neck, steadying herself.
“I am,” she says as I slide a finger deep inside her, causing her to gasp.
I slow my pace. “Hearing those cries, feeling you clench around my fingers…Fuck, Scarlett. So damn breathless. Hearing your desire brings me so much fucking pleasure. Love how you surrender to me.”
