kindness for the geek girl?
“You want help,” he said quietly.
Yeah, she did. She never wanted to be accused of being boring in the bedroom again.
His hand slid up to the nape of her neck. His big palm cupped it and he tugged so she had to tilt her head back, exposing her mouth to his.
“Let me help you out.” His breath warmed her lips.
“Is that what you call this—‘helping’ me?”
His hand on her butt pushed, yanking her so close his erection dug almost painfully against her stomach. “It’s a win-win deal.”
“Win-win?”
“You know I want you.”
Yeah, maybe she did. And she couldn’t say no. She didn’t want to. It was only going to be a lesson—probably only the one—so why would she be so stupid to deny herself the experience?
“What, exactly, are you going to teach me?” She ached to know.
He looked thoughtful. “How to flirt? How to read the signs. Sensuality.”
“But you said I needed a practical component, not just theory. So is sex going to be part of this course curriculum?” She really needed confirmation on that.
He stared down at her, his jaw rigidly defined, like he was clenching his teeth. “You’ve had sex before, right?”
She rolled her eyes. “My last relationship lasted almost a year.” He didn’t need to know it had been her only relationship.
His face tightened. “Almost a year of bad sex?”
He looked like he didn’t believe her. Truthfully it had been more like half a year of not much sex. And she didn’t have much basis for comparison to know how bad it had been. She’d figured lots of women didn’t have orgasms during penetrative sex—Nadia had confirmed that. Though she’d also said more women should .
But Joe was a playboy with way more experience than her.
As intimidating as it was, this was her chance to learn some moves and grow her confidence. But she had to be careful—put some kind of protection in place.
She hesitated. But in the end, she just wanted the full-out fucking she’d been thinking about since last night. In fact, she wanted more .
“Back in high school I gave you six lessons,” she said, going for broke. “That’s all I’ll take from you.”
He didn’t have time for any kind of relationship, and this way she’d retain control of how this was going to play out. A time frame would limit the emotional impact, right? She could keep this as nothing more than an information- and experience-gathering exercise. And it would be more than once .
He stared at her for a long moment—his expression edgy. Then he nodded. “That’s fair. That’s a good idea.”
“They’re launching my app at the magazine’s third anniversary party a week from Friday. I’ll need the testing to be complete by then. Six lessons in less than a fortnight. Can you deliver?” She slipped easily into IT boss mode.
“Of course.”
“Starting now.” She was wet already, and that was only from standing pressed against him for a few minutes.
“Ever the eager, diligent student.” His teasing smile flashed, softening the harsh hunger in his eyes. “That chocolate having an effect, huh?”
“Chocolate is no substitute for sex.” And she’d only had a couple sips. The effect was all from Joe. To have the guy she’d felt the first stirrings of lust for finally be hard against her? Total turn-on.
He chuckled again. But his emerald eyes glinted with something harder.
“All right then.” He palmed her butt, massaging her against him. “Kiss me.”
Heat balled in her lower belly. “Now?”
“You’re the one who’s so keen on first base.” His gaze lowered, focusing on her mouth. His voice lowered too. “And there’s nothing sexier than red, puffy lips—and knowing I’m the one who made them that swollen and sensitive.”
Oh my.
He lifted his gaze back to hers. “Give me a taste of what might come later. A flash that’s going to leave me wanting.”
Oh hell. How was she to manage that? Her mind blanked. Where were all
