“Yeah?” she murmurs softly.

“Yeah, but you call the shots. Okay?”

“I don’t know what that means.”

“It means that we do this at your pace. You’re the one who decides what happens when. If you need me to take control, I will, but I won’t rush you.”

“Really? So if I wanted to kiss you?”

My blood heats at her innocent question.

Fuck, I used to tease Dimitri for the way he loved that he was all of Ivanna’s firsts. I get it now. I fucking get it. It’s a heady feeling.

“Then you kiss me,” I rasp.

Do it. Make the move, ???????.

She picks her head up and stares at my lips, making my cock twitch. It’s safe to say she doesn’t miss it by the way her eyes dilate with desire.

Olena leans in and lightly brushes her lips against mine. I want to take control but don’t. I meant what I said. She’s in charge. When she comes in for a second kiss, pressing her lips harder against mine, I can’t help but squeeze her hip. She makes a tiny noise in the back of her throat, making my cock twitch once again.

Shit.

I pull away and press my forehead against hers.

“Why did you stop?” she asks, breathlessly.

“Because I promised you that you were in control, and I was about to make a liar of myself.”

“You liked it? Kissing me, I mean.”

If she were any other woman, I would worry she was being coy, but I know she really wants to know. She needs the reassurance.

“???????, I didn’t like it.” Her face falls before I can finish. “I fucking loved it.”

Her eyes light up. “Really?”

“Really.”

Her tongue sneaks out and brushes over her bottom lip. It takes everything in me not to lean forward and suck on it.

I adjust her in my lap, not trying to hide the fact that I’m rock-hard.

“Now, we finish our movie and hang out.”

“And if I want to kiss you more?”

“Then you kiss me.”

“Okay.” She tucks her head under my chin and faces the TV. “So what’s this movie about?”

“No fucking clue. I just picked the first thing I came across when we sat down. I was hoping you knew,” I confess.

Olena’s giggles set my soul on fire, and rightness settles in my chest.

“I have no idea. I wasn’t exactly paying attention.”

“Oh? What had you all distracted?” I tease.
