Surprise flickered on her face and she was hesitant. Fuck me, I fucking loved that about her. Touching herself in front of a man must be something she hadn’t done much, and I was more than fucking happy to change that. “Baby, touch your pussy. It’ll get you off faster. I’m ready to come but I want you to go first.”
She didn’t hesitate this time. My eyes greedily tracked her hand down to her pussy and my dick almost exploded with pleasure when she started rubbing her clit. It was obviously good for her too because her hips began to jerk and I watched as her eyes fluttered shut. Her pussy clenched and that was fucking it for me. I came and a moment later she screamed out as she orgasmed too.
After a moment in which I still held her ass up off the table and let us finish, she opened her eyes and shot me the sexiest look she’d ever given me. “You weren’t joking when you said it was time to fly, were you?”
I chuckled and lowered her to the table before pulling out. “No babe, I don’t make promises I can’t keep.”
She sighed; completely sated. “Good, because I’ve been looking for a man who makes good on his promises.”
My heart constricted. For the first time in my life, I wanted to be a man who made promises to a woman.
Chapter 25
Harlow
I stepped out of the shower and dried myself before wrapping the towel around me. Scott was leaning against the doorframe watching me closely. For once, his eyes weren’t on my body but rather they stayed focused on my face. I smiled at him but he was in a serious mood and didn’t smile back. Sometimes his intensity freaked me a little; now was one of those moments. We’d just had the best sex of my life and I had felt so close to him; I wondered what was running through his mind after that.
“I want to know more about you than I’ve ever wanted to know about anyone,” he said. It wasn’t at all what I’d expected him to say.
“What do you want to know?” I asked.
“Everything,” he said, forcefully.
Butterflies whooshed through my stomach. Every woman dreamed of finding a man who wanted to take the time to get to know them. I’d dated a lot of men but never found one who’d ever said anything like that to me. His request was so genuine and straight from the heart. Standing in this bathroom with Scott’s full attention on me, I felt like the Queen of the world; he made me feel like that. Scott might be a biker who said and did things that most people wouldn’t ever dream of doing, but he was the first man who gave me the confidence to be completely me. He was unapologetic about the way he lived his life and he gave me the same freedom; the freedom to be whoever I was and to live my life on my terms.
I moved closer, reached for his hand, and laced my fingers through his. “I want to know everything about you, too.”
He blew out a breath and tightened his fingers around mine. “I’ve never met a woman who wanted to know me. Sure, they said they wanted to be with me but that didn’t mean they actually wanted to know anything about me. But you’re different and I knew it from that first time we met.”
“What do you mean, you knew I was different? How?” I certainly didn’t feel like I was different from anyone else. I’d struggled my whole life to make myself stand out; I always believed I was the boring girl that people overlooked.
“Fuck, Harlow, you don’t see it, do you?”
“No,” I confessed in a whisper while I held my breath waiting for him to continue.
He let go of my hand and lightly ran a finger through my hair, pushing it off my face. His touch was so gentle; so different to the rough way he liked to touch me during sex. “You stood up to me and challenged me. You still do. No woman has ever done that before. You’re a strong woman, and you’re kind and giving. Look at the way you’re helping your mum. Look at how you took Lisa under your wing after you just met her. I don’t know many women who give so selflessly like you do. And yet, there’s a softness to you that I haven’t worked out yet but I like it. I like it a fucking lot.”
“I thought I was going to be the death of you by arguing with you.”
“Yeah, babe, you will be. But promise me that you won’t ever stop because it’d be the death of you if you did that.”
I knew in that moment that I’d just completely fallen for Scott Cole. Any man who totally got that about me would hold me captive, and he now had me for as long as he wanted me.
I gently laid a hand on his bare chest. “I promise.”
His hand curled around my waist and he roughly pulled me close so that we were skin to skin. “You’ve got me under your fuckin’ spell and I can’t get enough of you,” he growled.
The room was charged with electricity as we connected mind, body and soul. The sound of our breathing was the only noise to fill the room while we were silently watching each other.
