“I swear, it’s the entire truth” I leaned back on the couch and shifted on the cushion so I could really stare at her One ofagainst hers I’d be lying if I said I didn’t purposefully sit like this so a part ofher

“You're tellingherself, and the way her grin was spread across her face, her straight, white teeth flashing in pure happiness and a a funny rhythht over a loaf of bread?”

I couldn’t help“Hey now The asshole tried to overcharge me for some plain as hell white bread like it was iether at the ti him any more when it was already day-old bread So I said, ‘Give ive you a knuckle sandwich’”

She tipped her head back and started laughing, and I was transfixed by the graceful arch of her neck “Oh my God,” she wheezed out “You did not say ‘knuckle sandwich’”

I chuckled deeply “I was fifteen and thought I was tough What can I say?”

Her laugh hadThe fucker had been hard this entire tiically placed hands, an arm, even one of the throw pillows on the couch at one point

We laughed for a few htly, not because the alcohol was fading, but because the atot a little bitOr at least that’s how it felt to aze shale inch of her

I knew theat her a little too hard, a little too intensely; her shoulders went back slightly, and her spine straightened I saw the prettiest blush tint her high cheekbones, watched as she lifted her hand to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, her fingers shaking slightly

“For blatantly staring” She snapped her head up after I spoke those words, and our gazes locked

“I didn’t notice,” she whispered

And then I noticed the subtle changes in her Her pupils dilating, her lips parting as she sucked in a shallow breath, her chest starting to rise and fall fast with her increased breathing

I shouldn’t have let aze lower to her chest, but I couldn’t stop myself I wanted to see how much her body was affected by me likethrough her shirt, I nearly groaned at how good all of this felt

“Yeah,” she whispered, and I lifted aze to her face “I’ve noticed” Her voice was soft… breathless She started biting her bottoardless, my cock jerked in response

“Come here” My voice was deep, husky, and those tords spilled from me before I could stop them
