Page 60 of Down & Dirty: Rage

She was about to stop him. Leave him hanging. Crush his plans. Maybe even his soul. Tell him this was a mistake. Even after he insisted it would be.

“I know you want me.”

She told no lie.

“And I want you.”

His nostrils flared.

“A lot.”

He grunted.

“But...”

But?

His cock was throbbing, his balls pulled tight, and she was throwing out abut?

Goddamn it.“Baby, you’re fuckin’ with me here. Just fuckin’ say whatever it is you’re gonna say.”

“I…uh…”

Holy fuckin’ shit!He’d never seen her so unsure of herself and it was pissing him the fuck off.

“Lyric, just say what you gotta say,” he demanded again, this time, his tone more harsh than he wanted, but he didn’t have a cunt hair of patience left. And that shouldn’t be sincehe was pressed against the only woman who could counteract that.

She pulled in a breath, and when she released it, “I haven’t been with anyone…in that way,” came tumbling out.

His head twitched.Wait.“In what way?”

“Thatway.”

He pinned his chin into his neck and, using his hands, pushed himself up to see her better.Say what?“You’re shittin’ me, right? There’s no fuckin’ way.”

With her lips rolled inward, she looked at everything but him.

Holy fuckin’ shit.That was the last thing he’d expected to come out of her mouth.

While everyone knew she didn’t fuck around—unlike some of her club sisters—he only figured when it came to the physical relationships she’d had, she had kept them on the down low since they weren’t anyone else’s business.

But,Christ on a cracker, he was so damn wrong. She hadn’t had any!

That meant…

He blinked at the thought of exactly what that meant.

This confession made this whole situation even worse for him. Proof this would be a bigger mistake than he originally thought, even despite warning her.

“Lyric,” he groaned. “Sure you want me to be your first?”

His hard-as-fuck dick was nestled between her naked thighs. While that could be his answer, he’d rather hear it from her.

Because if she hadanydoubts…

“You know there ain’t no way of goin’ back if we do this. Your virginity’s kind of a one-time deal. Sure you don’t wanna wait ’til you’re with someone you’re serious about?”

While he hoped she’d back out and decide to wait, he also hoped she didn’t.
