back of my dress, squeezing it like he was trying to control himself. “I’ve never slept with anyone before. You’re my first.”
    “I am?”
    “Yeah. And I’ve never slept better in my life.” He rubbed his nose against mine.
    I melted at his words and touch. “Me neither…”
    He pressed his lips to my mouth and gave me a slow kiss. My hands immediately hooked around his neck, desperate for the intimacy he gave me. He grabbed my ass then lifted me off the ground, carrying me to the bedroom. Once my body hit the sheets, he moved over me and kissed me like he had the other night. His length pressed against me and I was impressed by his size. The longer Ash and I were together, the more I fell for him. He made me feel safe, like he would never hurt me. And he made me feel treasured. Any free time he had was spent with me. I felt like his obsession, his dream.
    I wanted to feel the connection of our bodies. Not only was I hungry for him, but my heart yearned for him. He kissed me hard like I was his greatest fantasy, and every time he touched me his hand shook. I felt sexier than I ever had.
    I pulled one strap down of my dress then the other, exposing myself to him.
    His lips stopped caressing mine and he looked down at me, staring at my chest. His cock twitched, pressing against me. The desire in his eyes fueled me, made me hotter than I’d ever been.
    He leaned down and pressed his lips to the skin over my heart, making me moan. Then he pulled away and slipped the straps back on.
    The confusion flooded me, and so did the disappointment.
    “You said you wanted to take this slow.”
    “But I want you…”
    He kissed the corner of my mouth. “And you know I want you.” He rocked his hips into me gently, pressing his hardness into my hip. “But I’m head-over-heels for you and I need you to want me in the same way first. Because I know it would break my heart if you weren’t. If I rush this, I could lose you. And I’m going to avoid that at all costs.”
    “You must be frustrated…”
    He looked into my eyes. “I’ve never been more satisfied in my life.” He kissed the corner of my mouth again. “You give me more than you realize. I know you’ve been hurt and been used. I’ll never do that to you. Let me prove it first.”
    He made me melt all over again. He turned down sex with me twice, preferring to kiss me and spend time with me instead of being inside me. I’d seen him bring girls over, fucking them and then kicking them out as soon as he was finished. But it was the opposite with me. He just wanted to be with me. Getting laid was irrelevant to him.
    And that made me fall more in love with him.

CHAPTER SIX
    Ash
    I was on cloud nine.
    Alaska was the piece of me that was missing. She was the one woman who made me a better man. With her, I didn’t care about myself. All I wanted was for her to be happy. It was my purpose.
    As much as I wanted to make love to her, I couldn’t. I’d fallen so deeply in love with her that I couldn’t be with her in such an intimate way unless she loved me in return. I didn’t want to be used. I didn’t want the moment to be meaningless. And I didn’t want it to be just a purely sexual act. I needed her to look me in the eye and tell me she loved me. Because if she didn’t, I knew it would break me into a million pieces.
    She wasn’t the only one afraid to get hurt. I had my own issues, and getting close to someone was one of them. I broke that barrier and dove into a relationship with her, unable to resist her.
    I had no regrets, but I treaded lightly. She was the best thing that ever happened to me and I wouldn’t ruin it for any reason. I loved sleeping with her at night, seeing her face first thing in the morning. I loved kissing her, treasuring the softness of her lips. Hearing her moan was the best part. Our bodies were dying for each other. My cock was eager to be inside her, but my heart was stronger.
    I was studying in my living room, trying not to
