“You won’t try to touch me?”
He raises one hand. “Scout’s honor.”
“You weren’t a boy scout.”
“I was actually. When I was a kid. Aiden and I both were.”
That admission draws me up short. Finn actually volunteered information about his past to me.
“Well… fine,” I snap. “As long as you leave me alone.” With a deep breath, I slip my bra off. Finn’s eyes soak up my breasts and the desire on his face makes me feel more powerful. He wants me. Maybe I can use that to my advantage.
When I take off my underwear and his eyes go straight to my pubic mound, I feel a fluttering of… something in my stomach. What would it be like for Finn to grab me and ravage me right in this moment?
That’s the last thing I want, obviously.
The thought of Finn touching me makes me want to vomit.
But… deep down, I’m not sure it does. Deep down, the idea of Finn touching me makes me warm. It makes me…
No. I can’t even go there. I despise Finn and nothing will ever change that. It doesn’t matter how he’s looking at me right now.It’s only because he’s hot. If he were ugly, I would hate him more. I can’t let his good looks get the best of me.
“Had your fill?” I snap.
His eyes lazily move over my body until they settle back onto my own eyes. “I’m good now. You look good enough to eat, princess. You should know that.”
“Thanks. I’ll take that into consideration. I’m going into the bedroom now.”
“Wait.” His tone isn’t harsh. It’s commanding and forceful but also slightly soft.
“What?”
“Don’t you want to see me too?”
I blink. “What? You… see you naked?” The thought almost makes me lose my breath.
“Why not? It’s our wedding night. We might as well see each other naked if we’re not going to fuck.”
“I don’t want to see you naked,” I say, crossing my arms but that only draws more attention to my breasts so I quickly drop my arms to my sides.
“No? Ok then. But if you come down later in the night, don’t be surprised if you find me sleeping on the couch, naked.”
“You’re gross.”
“Am I? Do you really think that?” He saunters over to me and I hold my ground. I will not show fear for anything. “Come on, princess. Do you really not want to see me naked? Tell me the truth. If you don’t, I’ll stop pushing it. But if you do, don’t lie to me.”
Damn him. Of course my curiosity to see Finn naked is strong. Is his body as beautiful as his face? Probably more so.
I can’t let him win this. It’s not fair that I’m the only one naked.
So why don’t I want him to be naked?
I think if I see all of him, it will make me feel closer to him and that’s not something I can stand.
“Don’t lie,” he reminds me.
If Finn gets naked, then that gives me some power. I won’t be the only vulnerable one.
“Fine,” I snap, making up my mind. “Get naked. Show me.”
