He brings his mouth down, nips at my earlobe and says in a voice so low, I can barely hear it, "You don't kno bad I want inside you right now"

A bolt of the purest lust fissures through e and warbled sound that co my head fall back onto his shoulder

"But first, we need to talk"

What? Huh? What?

Nix releases me and pullsHe sits on the edge and pulls ently at my hips and I feel aard as hell

Looking up at me, he asks, "Do you really want to do this, Eentle, worried

I nodbut there isn't a doubt in my mind

"I need to et hurt and even though I'm an ass to you most of the time, I really don't want to harm you"

My heart melts over his words but they aren't necessary I think I understand where he is coood, Nix Really"

"Tell me what you expect of me?"

"What? NothingI don't expect anything I swear"

He shakes his head atanswer Any two people, no matter the level of interaction, will always have expectations of each other You have to want so"

That makes sense, I suppose I think about it for a minute I don't have any fairytale ideas about Nix, or aspirations that ill have a happy, long lasting relationship But there is so

"I need you to pro sex with me, that is"

He doesn't hesitate at all "Done Anything else?"

I shake my head as I raise ainst him but he holds my body firmly in place

"My turn You need to know my expectations, too"

Well, hell I thought I knehat they were Wham, bam, thank you ma'am!

"Okay Shoot"

Nix takes a deep breath "I'm not relationship material, Emily I just don't have it inlike that from me"

I knew this I knew this going in and it still hurts just a little But I'd already e I want Nix too much

"But," he continues "I promise that I will cherish you e are intimate, and I won't intentionally hurt you"

I give hiain

"Are you still okay with this?" he asks

"Yes I' I knohat to expect"

He releases his hands from my hips and I don't like the sudden loss of warmth

"Good NowI want you to stand back a few feet"

I take two steps back, never thinking to question his command

Nix leans back onto his elbows and watches me like a starved man "Nowtake off your clothes for me, Em And do it slowly"
