“Jesus, Gemma.” He snorts out a laugh. “Definitely not like that.”

“But kind of like that.”

“Think about it. I could make it really good for you.”

That, I do not doubt. Based off that kiss alone, it would be mind-blowing.

“I’m not some blushing daisy,” I blurt out. “You don’t need to handle me with kid gloves.”

“I never said you were.”

“And it’s not like I have no experience.”

“No?” Blake sips his coffee, casual as ever.

“There was some hand action below the belt. And I am well-acquainted with my vibrator.”

“Fuck.”

I don’t miss the heated look in Blake’s eyes. It’s good to know that I’m not the only one invested in this thing. Whatever this thing might be.

“Look. I don’t want this to be a pity kind of thing.” I voice the worry that prickles at the edge of my thoughts.

“You think this is a pity thing?”

I shrug a shoulder.

Blake sets down his coffee cup and moves around the couch. He looms large over me.

He crushes his lips to mine, stealing my breath.

And any fight I might have.

This kiss is every bit as good as it was last night.

Maybe even better because I thought I was imagining it last night.

Blake controls the kiss. Nipping and sucking on my bottom lip. It has my toes curling in the plush carpet.

I never want it to end.

But it does.

“Make no mistake. I want you, Gemma. Not out of pity. Not out of a need to take your virginity.” Blake trails a single finger down my jaw. My neck. Over the curve of my shoulder. “If you can’t tell how much I want you, then I might need to kiss you again.”

“You might need to kiss me again, then.”

He smiles before taking one more kiss.

“Think about it, Gemma.”

I nod.

“Say it.”

“I’ll think about it.”

“Good girl.”
