We lie there for a while, and honestly, I’ve never felt this comfortable with any man before.Usually, by now the urge to get away would have already taken over. After anything even remotely intimate, I would feel this overwhelming need for distance. It was almost like my skin would start crawling i
He looks at me for a long moment before everything changes.I scream as one minute I'm on top of him and the next, I’m lying flat on my back.“What are you doing?” I ask, watching him as he hovers above me.“Well, I get where you’re coming from," he answers, “But that doesn’t mean I can’t take care
