Chapter Twenty-One
Parker
Sheâs nervous. Not the same way she was nervous at the hotel room, this is more skittish. As much as I want a replay of that afternoon, I want her comfortable, and the replay can wait. I almost curse myself for not insisting she take one of the guest rooms, but that thought goes away as soon as I slip into bed with her and feel her small body tentatively curl around mine.
âWhy did you bring me here?â
âBesides wanting to spend more time with you?â
âYes, besides that.â Alysonâs frustration is audible.
âI wanted to give you a break from your thoughts.â
âIs here where you come when you want to get away?â Her body settles closer to mine as she gets more comfortable.
âYes, but I had different hopes for it when I bought it.â I wrap my arm around her shoulders and drag my fingers over the skin on her shoulder.
âWhat were your hopes and dreams, Parker Barnes?â Alyson sits up in bed and looks down at me. Her dark hair falls forward and I reach up to push it behind her ear.
âI was hoping it would make my family less complicated.â
She takes a deep breath and I canât help but watch her breasts rise beneath the thin camisole sheâs wearing to bed. âYou canât force things, Parker. You can just open the door and wait for someone to walk through.â
âThat sounds like Natalie advice.â
âYeah, she has some good ones every now and then.â Alyson worries her bottom lip with her teeth and I stifle a groan. âWhat happens if I sue for custody?â
âWhat happens if you donât?â I have no idea why sheâs sharing this with me, but I donât plan on losing out on the opportunity sheâs giving me. If she wants to share, Iâll be there. I have a feeling itâs something her ex-husband hasnât done nearly enough.
âIf I donât, and change my mind later, it means it will be a lot more difficult.â
âAlyson, donât think about that. Whatâs important now is what you want and that you take what you want.â
âWhat do I want?â Her body leans closer to mine, but she doesnât seem conscious of her movement.
âI donât know the answer to that question.â
âWhat if what I want is just for right now? What ifâ¦â
âStop with the what ifs.â I canât help myself. I lean closer to her and brush my lips against hers. Sheâs irresistible.
Alyson meets my kiss with one of her own and raises the stakes. Before I realize whatâs happening, sheâs straddling my hips and above my, kissing me with a hunger I havenât seen from her. I give her the reins, for the time being. It kills me a little bit. I want to roll her on her back and claim her, to take her as mine and teach her what I want from her, but thatâs not what she needs right now and sometimes, itâs not about taking what I want, but giving what my partner needs. Usually the two merge perfectly, primarily because all of my partners are submissive and know what is expected.
