When my fingers brushed the inside of her thigh, she parted her legs intentionally–wider, offering herself like she was born for it. Not shy. Not unsure. Not waiting for permission. Just wanting. Inviting.
My fingers met her heat, slick and warm, and I froze in place.
I looked up at her slowly.
She didn’t look away. There was no blush on her cheeks. She didn’t pretend to be surprised by her own arousal.
Her hands tightened on the counter behind her, knuckles whitening. “Don’t stop on my account,” she said, arching a brow. “Keep g
There was something in her voice–something like hunger mixed with defiance–that slid under my skin and set every nerve ending alight.
She wanted this. She wanted me. She wanted all the things I’d been careful not to mention yet.
She wanted to taste danger and pleasure blended together.
She wanted to step into a world that most people only fantasize about.
I slid my thumb slowly along her, feeling her shiver. She sucked in a breath, lips parting, chest rising.
I stepped in closer, closing the last remaining space between us, letting my body press lightly against her inner knee so she didn’t try to close her legs again -not that she seemed capable of that now.
“Elizabeth,” I murmured, my voice rough. “You have no idea what you’re asking for.”
“I do,” she whispered back. “I want everything.”
Not a single doubt. Not a single hesitation. Just raw, eager certainty.
I leaned in until our noses almost brushed. “Then you’re going to get everything,” I said softly. “But understand something.”
Her breath trembled.
“When I start… I don’t stop until I’m finished.”
Her pupils widened instantly. She swallowed hard, but the rest of her stayed still, eyes never leaving mine.
“Good,” she whispered. “I hate half measures.”
I had to close my eyes for half a second, grounding myself. If I didn’t, I was going to take her right there against the kitchen counter like an animal–which I knew she’d like.
I opened my eyes again and found her watching me with a mix of curiosity and satisfaction, like she’d found exactly what she’d been hunting.
“You’re trouble,” I said quietly.
Her lips curved. “And you like that.”

I did. More than I should.
I slid my hand back up, letting my fingers trail back along the inside of her thigh, teasing her one last time before withdrawing completely.
She exhaled shakily, her gaze flickering down to my hand and then back to my face.
I didn’t kiss her. Not yet. Not here. Not before I made sure she understood exactly what she was getting herself into.
But I leaned in close enough that she felt the heat of my breath. “We’re not starting anything today,” I murmured.
She stiffened. “Why not?”
“Because when I finally touch you for real,” I whispered, brushing a strand of her hair behind her ear, “I’m not stopping. And I’m not rushing it. You want everything? Then you’re going to get everything. Which means we’re doing this right.”
She looked like she wanted to argue. Like she wanted to drag me down onto the floor and make me break that promise.
