Almost as if he senses my thoughts, he eases his tongue from my mouth. Groaning over my lips, he reluctantly ends our last first kiss. Pressing his forehead to mine, he pushes out a ragged breath.

“Let’s get you home,” he says, his voice deep and rough. “I need to taste more of you.”

CHAPTER ten

Sutton

“Welcome home, Princess.”

Keeping my gaze on Dolly’s gorgeous face, I wait with bated breath as my personal elevator opens directly into the foyer of my high-rise condo. Her expression doesn’t disappoint. Gasping audibly, her eyes widen as she takes in my humble home. Well, I suppose it’s now my temporary home. My realtor is already lining up some viewings for us on properties in Highland Park later in the week. Though I think I will keep this place for when we want to have some fun downtown. I will miss having a five-minute commute into the office, but it will be worth it in the end.

Staying a step behind her, I can’t help but smile as she almost timidly enters the foyer and moves into the opulent living room. There are some amazing perks to living here. I have access to concierge services that rival that of the Ritz, twenty-four-hourroom service from the three Michelin star restaurant on the ground floor, and daily maid service.

I must admit, that’s my favorite benefit of living here. I can’t stand a dirty home. My mind can’t function in visual chaos. There’s nothing better than coming home from a day of stressful negotiations to peace and serenity. Unless you have a beautiful blonde to come home to every night, that is.

“Do you like it?” I ask.

Turning on her heels to face me, she starts to laugh. Nodding her head she makes a show of gesturing around the space with her hands.

“How could I not? It’s like something you see in movies! You actually live here?”

Stalking towards her, my lips raise into a devilish smirk. I’ve been a complete gentleman since our kiss in her apartment, but now that I have her where she belongs, all I want to do is take her to the bedroom. I have a burning need to coax all those pretty little sounds from that sweet mouth of hers once again.

“I do, and now so do you,” I say.

Rolling her eyes, she makes the tiniest snort. She is too precious and innocent for her own good. I just want to pull her hair free of that damn scrunchie and twist my fingers into her locks, right before she takes me into her pouty mouth.

“Very funny, Sir.”

Quirking my head, I arch a dark brow. I know wetechnically only just met, but she should know by now that I wouldn’t lie to her. Well, about things that actually matter.

“Oh, I’m not laughing, Princess. I can’t let you go back to that apartment. Now I can see the worry on your face, but I promise Sam will be ok. I will make sure he can manage living there without you.”

It’s not a complete lie. Iwillbuy out Dolly’s portion of what’s owed on the lease so I suppose Sam will be alright for a time, while I systematically dismantle every aspect of his miserable life. Then, when he’s at his lowest point in said miserable life, I will end him. Slowly and painfully.

“I don’t know…this is all really, really sudden,” she whispers.

Taking her hand, I bring it to my chest. Placing her open palm directly over my heart, I lock my hungry eyes onto hers.

“Dolly, do you feel that?” I ask.

Blinking at me, she lets out a shaky breath. I know she can feel my heart pound under her touch. I’m not manipulating her; there’s no way I could fake this physical reaction to what I genuinely feel for her. Though I have tried, I haven’t been able to control its racing beat since my tongue tasted her.

“Yes, Sir.”

“Good. You are the only one who has made it beat like this.The only one.The moment you gave me that hug? That was it for me. I admit, it is rather sudden, but you have me, I’m all in.That’s what you want, right? You want me to be yours?” I ask.

Her mouth falls open, I know she’s completely stunned. This is one of those moments she’s probably dreamed of since she was a little girl. It’s a moment I never wanted but here I am, confessing that she has turned my life inside out.

Nodding her head, she stammers before she can get her mouth to say the words running through her head.

“Ye…yes…that’s what I want!” she exclaims.

Slowly closing the space between us, I press my lips upon her forehead in the softest kiss I can manage. I don’t trust myself to give her a proper kiss right now. Letting my lips linger, I hum my approval before pulling back to look at her flushed face.

“Then it's settled. We will iron out all of the details later. There’s plenty of time for us to have talks about our future but for now…why don’t we enjoy the first night of the rest of our lives?”

If it seems like I’m trying to speed this along to take her to bed, I am. My feelings for her are real and true, but so is my need to feel her pussy squeeze around my cock.
