Page 35 of A Lot Like Forever

“Touché,” Faith murmured, cupping the back of his skull to force him forward again, looping her other arm around his neck as she kissed him, surrendering to his mouth.

He plucked at her mouth, then deepened his kiss, exploring her body with his hand, stopping at the waistband of her boy shorts. Faith went still,silent,the only noise the rasping of their breaths.

“Are you sure this is what you want?” he asked, voice so deep and husky she hardly recognized it. “Are you absolutely sure?”

“Yes,” she whispered back, raising her hips, forcing her body against his. His erection was rock solid against her belly, his desire for her more than obvious. It sent sparks of pleasure through her just knowing that she could have that kind of effect on the infamous Nathaniel.

“I’m only a man, Faith, and that means there’s only so long I can resist you.” He said the words against her skin, his breath hot. “If you say no, I’ll stop, but I can only be the good guy where you’re concerned for so long.”

“Youarethe good guy,” she told him, moaning as his mouth dipped to a sensitive spot on her neck. “But I want you to be bad tonight, to show me how to be a good lover.”

His laughter was muffled against her skin until he raised his head. “Whatever jerk told you that was lying,” he told her, stroking her face, brushing the hair from her cheeks. “I don’t need to teach you a thing. You know exactly what you’re doing.”

She’d been embarrassed,mortified,when Cooper had accused her of being a crap lay, but she also believed him. It wasn’t like she had a lot of experience, she had only had a few boyfriends, but she never wanted to feel ashamed or incapable in the bedroom again.

“Just show me what to do, Nate,” she said, staring deep into his eyes. “Please.”

“Sweetheart, I’ll show you anything you want,” he muttered, rising so he was sitting astride her, thumbs looping into the waistband of her boy shorts, not tugging them down straightaway, leaving her to wriggle beneath him. “But just remember, if it feels good for you, it’ll feel just as good for me.”
