Page 80 of Finding Lexie
“Nothing,” she said.
Midas was holding a washcloth. “Spread,” he ordered.
This time, Lexie blushed. It was one thing to expose herself to him on his counter when she was lost in a haze of lust, but it was another thing altogether after the fact.
“I need to clean you,” he said gently. “Don’t be embarrassed.”
“I can do it.”
“I know you can,” Midas said. “You’re a grown-ass adult. But I want to. I want to make sure you’re all right. I took you hard. Pushed you.”
“I’m fine,” she told him.
Midas simply stared at her.
Sighing, she pushed the sheet back and spread her legs slightly.
Midas sat on the side of the mattress and put one hand on her belly, reminding her of how he’d held her down while he’d fingered her in the bathroom.
“You’re swollen,” he said as he gently ran the washcloth between her legs. “And your clit is still sticking out from its hood.”
Lexie wasn’t sure what to say. She’d never had this kind of conversation with a man before. So she kept quiet.
Midas smiled, but seemed to know how hard this was for her and didn’t say anything else. After cleaning her, he leaned down and pressed a light kiss right on top of her clit. Her inner muscles spasmed, and Lexie groaned.
“Don’t worry, I’m done. For now,” he told her, throwing the washcloth across the room. It landed with a splat on the tile floor in the bathroom. “I’ll get that in the morning,” he told her, then lay back down and gathered her against him once more. He pulled the sheet and comforter back up, and Lexie sighed in contentment.
“Earlier?” he said after a minute or two. “That was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. You trusting me to bring you to pleasure in a way neither of us had done before.”
“It was overwhelming,” Lexie admitted.
He kissed her forehead. “I know,” he said simply.
She supposed he did. But he’d pushed her to do it anyway. She realized that this man would always push her. He wanted her to experience the most out of life. Whether that was emotionally, professionally, or while in bed, simply having fun.
And she loved him. Down to the very marrow of her bones.
It was scary as hell to admit that, but then again, being around Midas made her feel brave. She wasn’t ready to tell him how she felt yet, but she would when the time was right.
She yawned and felt her muscles growing lax. “Midas?”
“Yeah, Lex?”
“You still taking me to get a Dole whip tomorrow? I want to get lost in that maze as well.”
She felt him chuckle under her cheek. “Yes, I’ll take you to the Dole Pineapple Plantation.”
“Thanks.”
“Then we’ll come back here and spend the rest of the day in bed.”
She smiled against his chest. “Okay. If you insist.”
He ran his hand over her hair, and she sighed in contentment. It felt wrong to admit that being kidnapped had been the best thing that ever happened to her, but it had brought her Midas. For that, she’d always be thankful.
Chapter Thirteen
Lexie waved to Midas as he pulled away from the curb outside Food For All. The last week had been amazing. She had to pinch herself to make sure this really was her life. For so long, she’d been completely alone, and now, she not only had a very attentive boyfriend, but she was quickly making close friends.
