Soaring (The Vivienne Series Book 5)
Page 10
I think we are sharing a glass because I don’t hear him set it down between sips. It’s a small thing but I like the intimate idea of our lips touching the same glass. He doesn’t talk so I don’t either. Instead he touches me, both studying me with his hand and letting me feel the sensation of him caressing my arm, then my fingers.
“You have the tiniest pinky nail I’ve ever seen on an adult.” He rubs a finger across it.
“I have tiny hands, really stubby fingers.” I hope I’m not killing any romance by being so factual. I resist the urge to quote finger facts. My font of useless knowledge wants to spill over and possibly drown the moment.
He lifts my hand and places it against his. “They are small, especially for how tall you are.” I want to see my hand against his but I said I would keep my eyes shut. I can’t believe I’m about to ask permission to open them but… “Can I open my eyes and see?”
This causes him to pause before saying, “yes.” I think I’ve surprised him.
I blink to readjust to the lights before I study our hands, his a full joint longer than mine. It’s such a peaceful moment. I feel more connected to him than right now than I have with any guy I’ve ever had sex with—even Danny. He saw more of me tonight than any of the guys who have seen me naked. He saw me scared and he made sure I didn’t feel any less for it.
“Are we finished?” I don’t want to be but I don’t know what happens next and I don’t feel like this is where I get to take the lead.
“Do you want to be?”
I shake my head.
“Did you have fun?”
I smile. “Yeah, did you?”
He smiles back. “Oh, yeah.”
This is where most men would kiss me and I would kiss back, then clothes would fly off and we would have sex, maybe even here on this counter. But Sebastian isn’t most men. He leaves me off balance and unsure, but I’m kind of starting to like it, a little. I’m starting to want to play his game so I can see more of what happens when we both win.
