“I realize you barely know me, but your instincts will guide you. I will never harm you, never do anything to jeopardize your safety or comfort. I only ask that you use those instincts to trust me.”
I nod as warmth floods my body, landing right between my legs. “I want to do things I’ve never done,” I blurt. “I don’t want to be afraid of life anymore.”
“Tell me more, Kyson.”
“I’ve never smoked a joint or done a shot. Before meeting you, I’d never had sex outside a bedroom. I played it safe. Too safe. I missed out on life.”
“Is that how you feel or did someone plant that in your mind?”
I shake my head. “It’s all me. I woke up a month ago, facing forty, completely alone. Sure, I have a job I like, but that’s it. It’s like I don’t know how to have fun. After my parents died it was drilled into me almost daily that to have a good life you had to stay on the straight and narrow. I think I took it too literally, you know? I was just a kid, but as an adult, I’ve never given myself permission to let loose. I really, really want to, but I’m scared too.”
Thorn nods, searching my eyes. “What if I told you it would be my honor to help you let loose, and that you would be safe?”
“How can you promise that?”
“I just can.” He touches my thigh and my cock twitches. A small gasp leaves my lips and Thorn’s smile grows.
“All you have to do is say you’re in, and I’ll take it from there.”
Everything inside me wants to say yes and let this man show me what living truly is. “You won’t make me a heroin addict or anything, right?”
He barks out a laugh. “Absolutely not. No illicit drugs, I promise. Weed is legal. Plus I have a few secret remedies up my sleeve.”
“Okay. I don’t really want to bungee jump either.”
“You got it. No hard drugs, no jumping off bridges with a rope around your ankles, and we’ll even keep it legal.”
My heart beats a little faster. “If I say yes, you’ll help me feel alive too?”
“Beyond your wildest imagination.”
A shiver moves up my spine. “I trust you. I have no idea why, but I’m in. I want to feel… something.”
A sexy grin spreads across Thorn’s full lips. “Oh, Kyson, I cannot wait.”
“What’s next?”
“Well, sweetheart, you’re going to clean your plate and then we’ll go back to your place and fuck till dawn. Tell me something, do you top or bottom?”
My stomach does a somersault. “Oh fuck,” I whisper.
“Unless I’m being too forward.”
“No. I definitely want to do that. Um, I guess I bottom. I’ve never topped before.”
“No? Hmm. You’re missing out then.”
“Oh god, oh god. You’re a bottom?”
“I’m whatever I want to be depending on the mood, butI’d love to feel you inside of me based on the preview I had.” He leans in and drags his tongue up the side of my face. “We can do whatever we like together.”
I press the heel of my hand into my growing bulge. “How are you this sexy?”
“Mmm, you smell so good. I bet you taste even better.”
My eyelids flutter as Thorn nuzzles my neck. “Thorn…”
“You’re special, Kyson. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.”
