Her arms fell from around my shoulders and she let her fingers trace over my bare skin. “You taste like Listerine,” she whispered almost absentmindedly.

“And you taste like graham crackers.”

Her eyes twinkled as she reached up to wipe something from the corner of my mouth.Her lipstick. “I should leave…”

“Why does that sound like a question?”

“Because I don’t want to.” True’s attention had left my lips but she let her hands roam over my bare abs and tease the band of my sweats. “I wantthis,” she said, raking her nails over my torso. “Just once.”

“Once?”

“That’s all I need,” she replied, her chin high. The determination in her eyes was almost cute. “Please just give me this tonight. I’ve been thinking about it since Noir.”

“And I told you it’s yours, all you had to do was say something.”

An unreadable flicker of emotion passed over her face before she said, “I have an IUD. And condoms in my purse.” She turned to scan the living room for her stuff, but came up empty and looked at me with a sheepish purse of her lips. “Do you have condoms?”

I stifled my laughter by picking her up an hooking her legs around my waist. Then I mumbled against her neck between kisses, “Yea, Red, I have condoms.”

In my room, I kicked the door closed softly behind us and walked us to my bed. When I lowered True on top of the comforter, she made eye contact with me and slowly worked Noah’s sweats down around her wide hips.

I finished pulling the pants off her legs and threw them on the floor before I climbed on the bed between her parted thighs.

“Condoms,” she reminded me, panting when I started kissing down her neck and over her chest.

She tugged at the waist of my sweats before her hand disappeared inside, massaging my dick.

“Fuck,” I hissed. “If you don’t want our first time to be a quickie, I need you to chill, Red.”

“Onlytime,” she corrected, biting my lip and holding it between her teeth. “Say it’s our only time, Greyson.”

My heart knocked so hard in my chest, I was sure she could feel every beat against her skin while I hovered over her, lettingher stroke my dick while she inflicted the tiniest bite of pain in an attempt to get what she wanted.

“It’s not our only time.”

I hadn’t been inside of her yet and I knew I wasn’t agreeing to that.

“You said whatever I want.”

“Not that, Red.”

“Greyson,” she released my lip from its cage between her teeth and undulated against me from below. Her hand fisted around my erection, tugging sensually while she stared at me with fire burning in her orbs.

She got to the tip of my dick and ran her thumb over the bead of precum. “Condom, Grey,” she reminded me again, this time with more urgency coloring her raspy words.

It hit me then that I would let this woman boss me around however the fuck she wanted for the rest of my days. She didn’t have to ask me nicely for shit and I would still give it to her on a gold platter. How the fuck had this happened? A week ago, I thought I was in control. Now she had me by the dick and I was willing to do whatever she wanted. For as long as she wanted.

Braced on my hands above her, I pushed up enough to open my bedside drawer and pulled out a gold, foiled packet.

True took it from me, tearing it open with her teeth. Everything after that was a blur, my mind working in slow motion while things happened at lightning speed.

I shoved my sweats down far enough to free my dick. Rolled on the condom while True watched me with hooded eyes. Hooked my fingers against the material of her red panties and pulled them to the side.

Pushed her legs further apart and hissed at the sight of her glistening lips when she arched into me.

She ran her fingers through her wetness and grabbed my shaft, lining me up at her entrance. “Just tonight,” she breathed before the tip disappeared inside of her warmth.

And then I was falling. Inside of her. Inch by inch. Slowly, at first. And then all at once.
