How quickly a man can go from the love of your life to a complete stranger.
Insecurity is evil. It creeps into their minds and poisons the entire shoot.
“Apologizing about your body is ridiculous. Please don’t ever do that for me or for anyone else, okay?”
“Avery, no offense, but I don’t give a fuck about your friend. I’m hitting on you. Am I not being clear enough?” I rub her thigh where I squeezed. “Or are you not interested?”
“Men need to be more careful with the women they love.” He tilts his head, his expression full of pity. “They have no idea the damage they can do.”
“I technically did ask a question, but here’s how the next five minutes are going to go. You’re not going to speak. I’m going to talk to you. I’m going to strip you down and point out all the things I love about your body. For five minutes, you are going to just enjoy a man, who you think fucks like a porn star, worshiping you. How’s that sound?”
“There you go,” he mutters. “Good girl.”
“But you’re moving at a snail’s pace.” I wish he’d just undress me already. Rip it off, like a Band-Aid. Maybe it’ll be less painful that way. “Yeah, Avery. That’s what you do when you’re savoring something…” He blows on my naked shoulder, causing a sea of goose bumps to pebble my skin. “You…go…slow,” he whispers into my ear.
In this moment, I understand three very important things. One, Finn is very good at this. He’s overwhelmingly sensual. He’s taking my literal worst nightmare and somehow making it sexy. Enjoyable, even. Two, Finn knows exactly what he’s doing to me. Every time I shudder and flinch, he smiles. Just moments ago, when his fingers grazed across my belly and chest as he pulled off my T-shirt, I nearly lost composure. When he rubbed the back of my bare arms to warm me up in an already sweltering room, I wanted to scream. Three, and probably the most shocking revelation is… Finn likes this.
“But confidence starts with you. A man is going to treat you how you treat yourself. So please, for the love of God, act like a fucking queen.”
Everything is wet.
“The big mirror.” Finn tightens his grip around my hand. “I want you to see everything I’m about to do to you.”
“No, baby, that’s a lie. That’s not where you want them. You want me to eat your pussy like I’m starving, don’t you?”
“You just haven’t seen my dark side. Yet. I’m taking you to a really nice restaurant, and I’m going to pick up the tab. Then, when we get home, I’m going to make you earn your meal.”
“There’s something about a man who’s protective of his girl that just gets women all kinds of wet.
“Spread your legs, Avery. I’ve been a gentleman all night. It’s time for my reward.”
I’m taking a moment to brace myself because Finn is bringing out my inner freak. I’ve never met her before. What if I meet her and I like her? What if she wants to hang around?
“You’re going to take good care of me, right?”
“You’ve never been stretched properly a day in your life, have you?”
“You’re not going to snap back from this, baby. You’re going to wear my cock like a glove, and no man will compare for the rest of your life.”
“There it is. Scream for me, baby,”
“I’m not exactly a size two, Finn. I’m trying not to put my weight on you. I don’t want to squish you.” He groans in frustration as he positions himself at my entrance and then pushes out my knees on either side, throwing me off balance. I literally fall onto his dick, wincing as he fills me to the brim. Grabbing my ass, he pulls me tighter into his lap, my thighs melded with his, our hips interlocked. “Stop it,” he whispers in my ear then lets out a low moan of satisfaction. “Put your weight on me,” he growls. “I fucking love how it feels. If you want to enjoy your sex life, you have to stop

“Yes, he was an idiot. Lesson number…whatever number we’re on. Don’t ever forgive him for being in the presence of royalty and refusing to bow. You’re sexy, smart, kind, and loyal. You should be earned every day of your life. Don’t ever let any man make you question that.”
Would she snap closed like a bear trap if I told her I really like her and she’s sort of restoring my faith in genuine connections?
“Men look past you because you represent what they’re scared of. Palmer’s the kind of attractive you enjoy for the night. You have the kind of beauty you worship for a lifetime.”
“This is going to go fast. Not my usual style, but that’s what you do to me. Do you know that? I’m putty in your hands, Avery.”
“Your body type is damn lucky. Blessed in all the right places.” He traces an hourglass figure in the air with his hands. “Natural and tender and soft. Your body makes me want to curl up next to it, day in and day out. I don’t know what type I’d call it—just know that it’s my favorite type.”
“Burden me, Avery. I want you to.”
I hope the idea of me with another woman makes her sick, because I’d be willing to rip another man to shreds right now.
life. If you won’t fuck me in real life, I’ll find you in dreamland, Finn.
“You…are…overwhelming, Finn. I never stood a chance.”
You’re so beautiful, Avery. My heart is sore from pounding so hard for you.”
“Next time you have a dirty dream about me, roll over and wake me up. And I’ll show you how much better I can do it in real life. You hear me?”
“I need you to start falling in love with me now, Avery.”
