That was the first time he called me honey, and it broke through my walls. I swallowed thickly then lifted my arms over my head. Xavier pulled the shirt over my head and threw it to the ground. I started shaking, couldn’t help it, and had to fight the urge to cover my body. I feared Xavier’s rejection. I didn’t think I could live it down if he was disgusted by my body.

For a long time his eyes remained firmly on mine before he finally kissed my mouth, then the tip of my nose, then my cheeks. “I love those freckles,” he murmured.

He kissed my shoulder blade, my collarbone, then the swell of my breast. My nipples puckered under his lips. “I fucking love your breasts,” he said in a slightly deeper voice.

He touched my waist and got down on his knees. I stiffened when his mouth kissed my ribs, then my stomach, which would never show abs. He dipped his tongue into my belly button unexpectedly, and I screeched with laughter and tried shoving him away, but he was too strong and held on to me as he released that deep, manly chuckle which made warmth pool in my body. He tilted his head up, giving me that wolfish grin as his cheek pressed up against my less than perfect belly. “I love your belly button, and the sounds it creates.”

I huffed, then quieted when Xavier pulled back and watched as his hands slid down my waist over my hips to my thighs. He kissed my inner thigh so close to my center that I held my breath in anticipation. “I love your luscious thighs that always squeeze the life out of my head when I’m eating you out.”

Heat blazed in my cheeks and Xavier’s expression became more intent, hungrier as he regarded me. “I love that blush that tells me all of this is only mine.” His hands slid around and cupped my ass, squeezing. “And fuck, I love your ass. I can’t tell you how often I imagine having you bent over so I can really appreciate it fully.” He pressed a light kiss on my pubic bone, then made his way back up, kissing the same spots he had on his way down before he claimed my mouth for a far less restrained kiss. “I love every inch of you, Evie. Can you get that into your stubborn head?”

“Okay.” I smiled against his mouth. “And I’m not stubborn.”

He growled playfully and pulled me against his body. We kissed and stroked and finally found ourselves on the bed.

Xavier climbed between my legs and reached for his drawer, but I stopped him. He frowned.

“I started taking the pill.” Then I hesitated. “So we don’t need protection unless you…” I didn’t want to bring up the past, but in this case it was necessary.

Xavier looked stunned for a moment. “I’ve always used protection. I’ve never had sex without a condom.”

“Would you like to try with me?”

He exhaled, then brought his tip to my entrance and slowly pushed in. He stilled when he was all the way inside of me. “Fuck, Evie, you feel so good.”

He made love to me slowly, reverently, until my body throbbed with a deep ache, but he seemed content to keep me on the edge forever. A sound of protest burst from my lips when he pulled back and rolled on his back. “Why don’t you do some of the work now?”

I swallowed and sat up. So far I hadn’t been on top because it would allow Xavier a good look at my body. As he could see my struggle, he stroked my cheek in reassurance.

“I can’t wait to have you on top, Evie.”

“Okay,” I said despite the flicker of self-consciousness.

I straddled Xavier, trying not to worry about being too heavy, because Xavier was a beast, but I didn’t sit upright. Instead I pressed my chest against his as we kissed and his hands roamed my back and butt. He squeezed my ass cheeks, then reached behind us and lined himself up. He shifted his hips and slid in a couple of inches. “Let me see you,” he rasped, and I gathered my courage and pushed myself into a sitting position, my fingertips splayed across Xavier’s chest as he held my gaze. He didn’t look anywhere else and I could have kissed him for it because I knew he wanted to, but didn’t want to push me too fast.

He squeezed my hips lightly. “You will have to move,” he said with an amused look.

I rolled my eyes. “Let me catch my breath here,” I said, feeling stretched and utterly full.

Xavier’s mouth tipped upwards. “Take all the time you need. But then I’ll enjoy the view while you’re at it.”

His eyes lowered to my breasts as he cupped them and began kneading them gently before brushing my nipples with his thumbs. I gasped and his eyes flickered up to my face. His gentle ministrations quickly had me relaxed and desperate for more, so I put my hands more firmly against his chest and lifted my hips experimentally. I wasn’t exactly sure how to move. “Will you show me?” I asked after a moment, biting my lip, and cocking one eyebrow in challenge despite the blush heating up my cheeks.
