first started their affair. The beauty of those words had always stuck with her.
He looked at her then, deep into her eyes, and there was no mistaking the heat that was radiating from his gaze. “I meant that then, but it’s even more true today. I want to learn everything I can about you, not just certain parts that conveniently fit into my life.”
Lily couldn’t help herself after that—she simply had to kiss him. Her arms went around his neck and pulled him to her roughly, causing their bodies to crash together at the same time as their lips. She led the kiss, probing the spicy depths of his mouth with her tongue and conjuring a loud moan from him for her efforts.
Ethan allowed himself to enjoy the surprising embrace for a few moments longer before slowly forcing his traitorous body to back away from her. He could feel every muscle scream in protest as he did so but he knew that he couldn’t let his resolve weaken so quickly.
“Lily,” he whimpered when he saw the blazing desire in her eyes. “Please tell me you understand.” He took an extra step back from her as he waited for her reply, not trusting himself to remain so close.
“Are you saying that we can’t even make out?” She sounded out of breath and slightly panicked. “Because most couples make out, you know.”
“Oh we’re going to make out,” Ethan growled. “I plan on making out a
lot
, don’t you worry. I just hoped that we could build up to it a little bit when we’re together, or at least try. Does that sound okay?”
Lily thought for a moment, trying to ignore how kiss-swollen his lips were. She felt a strong tug deep in her belly that told her to drag him into the bedroom and show him how silly he was being, yet another part of her couldn’t deny that she wanted to see how this would play out.
“I guess a little wooing might be nice,” she finally answered, feeling the truth in her words as she said them.
Ethan sighed loudly in relief and hugged her tightly. “Thank you! Thank you for being so understanding.”
“Well, thank
you
for making me understand. I appreciate you explaining it to me and I’ll do my best to take it slow, but we both know that it’s going to be
hard
.” To emphasize the word she brushed against the front of him again, his prominent erection dragging across her stomach.
“I know,” he groaned almost painfully, forcing himself not to thrust his hips. “All we can do is try.”
“Okay then. But for the record, I am ready and willing whenever you are.”
Ethan groaned again and nodded, kissing her chastely on the cheek before pulling away from temptation.
“I’d better go. Thank you again for tonight,” he smiled weakly. “I’ll call you soon.”
“I’d like that.”

Lily stood in the doorway until he was gone, missing him already. She felt hollow and swollen, and there were parts of her that ached that she had previously left for dead.
Taking her time getting ready for bed, she skipped pajamas due to the heightened state of arousal her body was in. Slipping under the covers, she had just begun to slide her hand between her legs when her phone rang. She would have ignored it completely and called whoever it was back later, but it was Ethan’s ringtone.
“Hello?”
“Lily?” his velvety sexiness oozed through the receiver. “I know it’s late, and I just left you, but would it be ridiculous to admit that I really wanted your voice to be the last thing I heard tonight?”
She realized with rising excitement that the wooing had already begun.
“No,” she smiled. “Not at all. I was just thinking of your voice. Well, not only that, but it’s wonderful to hear again right now.”
“Are you angry with me about earlier? I hope you believe how much I wanted to stay.”
“Of course I’m not angry. It’s actually a very sweet notion. It just doesn’t help how…
