SPRING SUMME R FALLING | 155

I’ve also melted, if he must know. “Well…” I sputter. “How?” Henri emits a
low sexy chuckle. “I’m very observant.”
And extremely sexy. “Impressive. Enough about me. Why didn’t you want me

to buy you a gift?”
“You’ve done more than enough for me. Besides…like I said, the things I want
can’t be purchased.”
The way he says it makes my body tingle. It’s a loaded statement that needs to
be dissected.
“Things? Like me saying your name correctly?” “Yes.” He pulls at another

tendril. “So soft.” “That’s just one thing. What’s the rest?”
He moves closer. His side brushes my bent knee. “You’re here like I asked.”
His right hand is in my hair, his fingers are massaging my scalp. His scent is
pulling me in, and his touch is electric. I’m not sure if I can take any more. I’m
horny and impatient. I can’t do cryptic right now.
“Bottom line me, Henri…” His eyes twinkle as if saying, “That’s my line.
“…what do you want from me?”
“You.”

His thumb traces my ear. More thunder claps in the background. My already
firm nipples grow harder. My body heats and moistens. His lips are next to my hair.
His breath tickles me.
“There are still so many things I want to do to your body.”
I stifle a moan. My body throbs with need. I’m frozen, but my heart rages
against my ribcage. Henri has an unbreakable spell on me. My pull to him is
terrifying and thrilling.

I nod, slowly unsure why I’m nodding. He gestures to my body. “Open up,
Sanya.”
I look down. My knees are pulled up to my chest, my ankles are crossed, my
shirt is pulled over my knees, my arms are hugging my knees, and I’m wrapped in a
blanket. I’ve unconsciously created a makeshift chastity belt.
“You’ve been closed off to me ever since our weekend.” Our weekend. My body
is intrigued. “I’m not sure what to say to get you to open back up. Maybe
something magical? Abracadabra? Open sesame? Or, do I have to tell you it was
my birthday wish?”
