Her head shifts on my shoulder, and I get a whiff of her shampoo. Shit, I love that stuff. I want to buy a bottle of it just so I can keep her scent with me.
How creepy is that?
What the hell is this girl doing to me?
Her fingers give mine a light squeeze and I automatically squeeze back, thrown by this intimate gesture. I don’t hold girls’ hands. But I sought her out this time. I needed the connection after I’d watched her come. Fuck. She’s fire.
I want more of her.
I need to be inside her.
But more than that, I want to give her pleasure. I want to see her fall apart again, trust me with her body the way she just so willingly did.
It was an honor, and I don’t know if I’ve ever felt that way before.
I’ve never taken a girl who didn’t want it. But there was something about her begging to be touched that undid me. Was it the way she asked? The catch in her voice?
I don’t know. There’s just something so pure about her.
I’m used to girls who have been around the block. I like a woman who knows what she’s doing. You can usually spot them. They come on to me. They give me their hungry eyes, and I just instinctively know.
But Nylah’s different.
She’s got this virgin quality about her, but she was brave enough to ask me to touch her.
Shit. Should I have?
It was way too easy to give in to her demand.
And now she’s snuggled up beside me, no doubt thinking of me like her boyfriend or some shit.
That can’t happen.
Does she get that?
Fuck, I really shouldn’t have touched her that way.
Yet I’m hungry for more.
She’s addictive
Dangerous.
Bail, bail, bail!
Fuck no. I can’t move. Her head is on my shoulder, her fingers interlaced with mine. Who gives a fuck what’s right or wrong at the moment?
I just need to stay.
So I do.
A war rages in my head the entire time, but the second half of the movie is one intense action scene after another. It’s a good distraction, and by the time the credits are rolling, I’m feeling mostly normal.
As the lights come back up, Nylah bends down to scoop popcorn off the floor.
“Leave it.”
“I just feel bad.”
