"Babe, I want to talk about something."
I felt my stomach sink a little and, feeling apprehensive, finished toweling off my hair and turned to stare at him.
"Okay..."
"Come here."
He watched me saunter towards him, naked, and a wide smile crept across his face.
I crossed my arms. "So talk."
He crooked a finger.
"Closer."
I shook my head, trying not to smile. He leaned forward and, snatching my hand, pulled me onto his lap.
"Hey, perv," I objected, squirming as his hands got busy. He kissed my lips, my jaw, my shoulder.
"You smell great," he mumbled into my skin, one hand roaming down my stomach, the other sliding up my thigh.
"I thought you wanted to talk about something."
"In a minute."
He bit my neck, one hand squeezing my breast, the other sliding its way between my thighs. I arched my back slightly, letting myself enjoy his touch, the tough-yet-nimble feel of his skilled fingers. Competent, strong, and just a little possessive.
He flipped me onto my back on the bed, covering my body with his and claiming my mouth with a hot kiss. He nibbled his way across my collarbone, then back for a long, deep, slow tongue dance. His jeans were rough against me, but I could feel his arousal, let myself sink into the kiss as his hands wove through my hair.
"You know I love you," he said quietly.
I pulled away, a bit concerned now. He sighed, then pulled me on top of him as he rolled onto his back.
"What's going on?"
He stared at me, quiet for a minute.
"We have great sex, right?"
"Of course we do."
"And you know I want to make you happy."
"Blake," I framed his face with my hands. "What's the problem?"
"What if I wanted to try something more...experimental." He cut me off before I could respond. "And don't say anything yet, just promise to think about it."
