“Why don’t you choose the movie?” he says.

But at this point, I don’t know what to do. I don’t fucking care about a movie.

“Okay,” I say and shift slightly.

His arm moves, and I feel his hand sliding down just a touch so that his fingers are right above my panty line. My body trembles slightly. He shifts so that he’s now behind me, and I can feel the warmth of his body against mine. I shift my legs over, and he moves his legs so they’re resting against mine. His fingers slip down just a little bit more so that they’re touching the top of my cotton panties. I can feel him behind my ass, pushing into me, and then his fingers slide down so that I can feel his fingertips right between my legs, and they press in softly. I gasp and still, then look back over at him. There’s a question in his eyes, and I don’t know what to say. I don’t know what to do. I shift suddenly, and he runs his right hand up and cups my breast, playing with my nipple.

“You have perfect nipples,” he says, whispering into my ear. “Maybe the most perfect I’ve ever seen.”

I’m breathing heavier now, and I know I’ve been playing with fire for far too long and I’m about to get burned, but I don’t even care.

This was a really bad idea, but maybe the best idea I’ve ever had.

His right hand reaches back down. This time, it slides all the way into my panties, and he groans as he feels my wetness.

“Fuck, you’re ready for me, aren’t you?” he says as he rubs his thumb against my clit and continues sliding his fingers between my legs.

I moan slightly at his touch, and then I watch as he pulls his fingers out of my panties and sucks them.

“You taste like strawberries,” he says. “Fuck,” he lets out a low, deep groan.

“Turn the movie on,” he commands me, and I look over at him in surprise. “I know you don’t want to fuck tonight. If I continue playing with and tasting your sweet pussy, there’s not going to be anything that can hold me back.”

He grunts again, “Turn the movie on, Juniper.”

His arms slide around my waist, and I feel his fingers press up against my breasts.

“Turn the movie on,” he says again.

I just smile as I reach for the remote control.

He kisses the back of my neck, and I feel him press himself up against me.

“You are so fucking hot,” he says.

“And you’re just a little bit handsome,” I say back to him, which causes him to laugh hysterically.

And because I don’t know what else to do, I laugh as well because even though Rafe has annoyed me for half of my life, he’s still Rafe, and I still love him, and I still think he’s a great guy, and I still enjoy being with him.

And while this is a moment I will never forget, I don’t know how to process it all. I know in my heart this is a moment that I will remember for the rest of my life. I will lay in bed in the middle of the night and remember every moment.

Then he shifts, and I feel his cock between my ass cheeks.

Granted, it’s through his briefs, but it almost feels like it’s right there.

I almost feel like I could shift and feel him against my entrance, and I know tonight is going to be a really long night, but I don’t care because I’m going to enjoy every moment of it.

“Let’s watchLegally Blonde,” I say and laugh as he groans.

I understand how he feels because being almost naked with him in my bed is like sweet torture. I must be some sort of masochist because I have a feeling I’m about to live the longest night ever.

Chapter 13

RAFE

I have never felt happier or more at ease in my life. However, the exact opposite is also true. I have never felt so uncomfortable and stiff before.

I groan under my breath as Juniper laughs along to the movie she’s watching. She probably thinks I’m watching as well, but I have not been able to concentrate on anything—not with her lying there next to me, smelling so good, feeling so warm.
