I rubbed my palm up and down her arm. “Are you feeling better? The storm is passing.”

“Yeah, that was quite a distraction,” she teased as she nipped at my ear. “There’s only one other thing that would have distracted me more.”

I gritted my teeth as she ran her hand over my bare chest and abdomen, exploring.

I was wearing a pair of sleep pants, but I never wore a shirt to bed.

She was wearing a pair of sleep shorts and a matching top that I’d seen before when she’d come down for coffee in the morning.

It wasn’t meant to be sexy, but my dick got hard every time I saw her in that outfit, and tonight was no different.

Hell, my cock was hard every time she was in the same room with me, no matter what she was wearing.

“I’m not even going to ask what that distraction might be,” I said firmly.

Fuck!This woman was making me completely insane.

I had a love/hate thing going on with her hands roaming all over my body.

I wanted her hands all over me, but it made it extremely difficult to leave mine off of her.

“You have an incredible body, Devon,” she said as she stroked her hand over my abs.

Her tone was full of wonder, like she’d never felt a man’s body before.

When she moved slightly lower, my patience had reached the end.

I flipped her onto her back and covered her body with mine. “You’re asking for trouble, Reese,” I growled. “A guy can only take so much.”

Her face was immediately contrite. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have done that. You just felt so good. I lost it for a moment. Let me get up. The storm is gone. I’ll go back to my room. I know this isn’t what you want right now.”

She pushed hard against my shoulders with tears swimming in her eyes.

I was so stunned that I let her go.

What in the holy fuck had just happened?

She’d just fled the room like her gorgeous ass was on fire.

Not what I wanted?

I wanted her so badly that I was losing my shit.

I just wanted to do this relationship the right way, and I hadn’t had a relationship since college.

I’d wanted to please her and treat her the way she deserved to be treated.

And in the process, I’d obviously hurt her somehow.

I’d just done something that I’d never wanted to do, and I wasn’t even sure how it had happened.

Reese

Iswiped the tears from my cheeks as I crawled into my own bed.

What in the hell was I doing?

Devon had asked me for one thing…to wait a while before we slept together.
