Chapter Six

Rosie

The kiss is like music, and I know that sounds cheesy, but it’s true. There are so many notes of desire echoing around the room as North plays with my mouth. He works my mouth over like I am the keyboard, tongues dancing, as our bodies press tight against the other.

His chest is bare and something deep within me craves to see what is below the waistband of his jeans. He’s chiseled; my hands run over his bare chest, counting the rungs, there’s over eight.

We pull apart but it’s only because his hard cock is pressing against me, against my belly, awakening my core to a place it’s never been before.

“I have to see you,” I tell him. “All of you.”

He growls, pulling away from me. But he willingly unbuttons his jeans with deft fingers, as if I’m asking him the easiest thing in the world. And right now, I guess I am. I’m asking for the thing that both of us so obviously want. For the thing both of us have wanted for a very long time.

“I’m going to tell you something,” he says, his fingers inching down his jeans. They stop. “I’m going to tell you something, and it’s going to change the way you see me.”

I hold my breath, suddenly scared of what he might say next. The truth is I don’t know North. Like, at all. He could be a murderer or a lunatic, a sinner or a saint.

He could be so many things and the truth of that actually causes me to forget to breathe. Again.

But it isn’t what he might be, that has me catching my breath … it’s the realization that I don’t really think anything he told me would matter.

In this moment what could he possibly tell me that would cause me to pull back, cause me to walk away? Because right now my body is on fire. On fire for him. And I cannot imagine a single scenario that would stop what is pulsing between us.

I know how long I’ve been imagining being with him. And from what he’s told me, I think he’s been thinking of me this whole time also. That means, that this moment is written in the stars. Even if there isn’t a single star in the sky tonight. Because right now, this is supposed to happen. It has to happen.

“What?” I ask. “Just tell me. Because honestly, North, I can’t imagine anything you might say that would cause me to walk out that door.”

North lowers his eyes to the ground, pausing, and when he lifts them, I see the vulnerability that he’s attempting to suppress.

“Don’t hold back now,” I tell him. “What is it about?” When he doesn’t answer right away I feel like I have to keep talking. “Is it really bad?”

I’m hoping like hell it isn’t.

“Oh, honey, I didn’t mean to scare you,” he tells me, pulling my nearly naked body against his chest. “I’m just a little embarrassed because I’m twenty-eight. And the truth is, I’m a virgin.
