One glance under that table showed me why, and my mouth watered a bit at the sight of that thick bulge.

“Can you let me recover before you say things like that?”

“Okay, your rules are gettingveryconfusing now.”

Will tongued his cheek, and Isworesomething just short of a laugh came from his chest like an exhale.

“I almost made you smile there.”

“I smile all the time,” he defended, his scowl back in place.

“Oh, sure. The most smiley man I know, hands down.”

The mood felt lighter now that the truth was out in the open. Will finally took a sip of his tea — and then promptly grimaced and looked at me like I was insane for liking it. Hibiscus wasn’t for everyone.

“Well, I better…”

Will hooked a thumb over his shoulder toward the house, and I smiled down at my tea on a nod.

“Yeah,” I said.

I tried to ignore the rush of confusing emotion surging through me as I walked him over to the sliding glass door after he’d dressed.

I wanted him to stay.

But for what?

He didn’t want to be friends. I agreed that I was fine with just sex, and yet, there was a hollow ache inside me now that he was leaving. I wondered if it would be so bad if he just sat on the couch here instead of inside. I could turn on an old episode ofJeopardy. We didn’t have to talk. I could be quiet. We could just be in the same room.

I tampered down those desires, cracking my knuckles before I clasped one hand around my elbow behind my back and stared at my bare feet.

“You okay?” Will asked.

I forced a smile up at him. “I just came three times, Mr. Perry. I’m fantastic.”

The corner of his mouth tilted, and he reached forward, thumbing my chin. “I kind of like when you call me that.”

“I’ll remember that for next time.”

His eyes flared like he couldn’t wait.

That made two of us.

With one last stroke of my jaw line, Will opened the door.

Before he could step through it, my hand jutted out to catch his arm. “Wait.”

He paused, his eyes finding mine.

“I… does this mean…” I swallowed, tucking my hair behind my ear and staring at his chest so I didn’t have to meet his gaze when I finished that thought. “Will you teach me?”

“Teach you?”

I glanced up at him through my lashes before my gaze dropped again. “You know… how to… do things.”

He was quiet for so long I thought maybe I wasn’t making sense, but when I found the gall to look at himagain, his eyes were dark and heady, his chest rising and falling in a restrained manner.

“You want me to teach you how to suck my cock, Chloe?”
