”Then don’t” ”Show me”
These words echoed inside of his mind and spiraled down into the very core of his soul as he held her lips against his. He wasn’t sure she knew what she was asking him to do. She lived without a care in the world and he knew that. For him, life was an entirely different puzzle. He had spent nearly twenty years building up walls, shoring up defenses against the world because while they were extremely similar people there were slight variances in their personalities. She was an extreme introvert just like he was, but he was an introvert who literally walked inside other people’s skin. He could feel other people’s emotions, almost read their thoughts by the accuracy in which he could detect their emotional state and read their body language. He was so good at pattern recognition and predictive analysis that he had predicted wars years before they happened.
Such things were amazing gifts, but anyone with powerful gifts can also tell you they are also terrible curses. To be so emotionally open to the world is like having yourself open and raw all the time. The walls are just as much to help filter things out as they are to keep his own shit in check. Could he really just let her in completely with no slow easy pace and just let her smash through his barriers with no warnings or cautions? There was a lot of fucking damage inside his soul. The idea scared him. More than the possibility of rejection, the idea that he might accidentally hurt her scared him. He would rather lose her a thousand times over and suffer that pain every day for the rest of his life than ever put her through any kind of pain. That was just the sort of man he was.
All of this was rushing through his mind in a few split seconds because his mind worked at lightning speed from years of being hyper active and having a brain that never shut the fuck up except in rare cases. Like when it got overloaded with stimulus. Things like finding out a woman you are extremely fucking attracted to was not wearing any underwear. His brain stalled completely, his body actually froze, he sucked in a sharp breath, letting it out in a groan.
The debate stopped.
Perhaps it was kismet that he met someone who was cute, charming, with a seductive side that she could wield with a touch of innocence in all the perfect proportions? She seemed to be everything that he needed. By far his biggest flaw was taking life too seriously. Liv was the cure for his malady. She could feel his lips curve into a smile and then kiss her with a sudden ferocity as both his hands slid down to grip her pert butt. Giving a firm, greedy squeeze as he pulled her hips against his, allowing her to feel the effect she was having on him; quite a significant one at that. His arousal was already very notable as he surrendered completely to his emotions and let his hands off the reigns.
The kiss drifted away again and he spoke. His words were a low lusty rumble. “I have been opening my heart to you from the moment I met you. Now you have simply given me an incentive to stop fighting the process. You are officially stuck with me now.” He nestled his lips into the hollow of her throat, gently biting into the skin as he reached in between them to unclasp his belt and jeans. “Tell me something that makes your heart pound in your chest, makes you burn?”
