Calder- I had to jerk off in the shower yesterday.
Dakota- I think I heard you.
C- Can I tell you a secret, Ace?
D- Sure.
C- I wanted you to hear me.

Dakota- We fall into a comfortable, satiated silence, and I feel myself drifting to sleep with a smile on my face. Let’s hope I can keep this sense of satisfaction when we head back to the real world tomorrow, because it feels good for a change.
And it’s a real punch to the gut to admit that of all the people in my life, it was Calder Fletcher to help get me there.

He helped her
She’s surprised & confused

“My turn,” he says, pulling away, his hot breath on my lips as both our chests heave with desire.
I feel the loss of him as I struggle to see straight. “Your turn?”
“To make a demand.” His hands slide from my ass to my thighs, his thumbs skating up the skirt of my dress. “I’m not going to make you crawl. But I am going to make you beg.”

Calder wants to make a request

Flutters, stars, sparks, sizzles . . . all of those flippity emotions that happen in the human body are happening to mine at the same time. And we’re both still fully dressed!
Dakota

I grip his sculpted arms to steady myself, shivering at the feel of his rough beard against my face. The edginess of that sensation, the grit, makes the kiss that much better. Dirtier, more elicit.

Is this the first time she’s kissed a bearded guy?

Dakota- “Maybe we should kiss first. Make sure we have a connection? Or is that weird? Too intimate? Should this be like a Pretty Woman hookup where we don’t touch lips?” I snap my mouth shut. I’m rambling. Super hot, Dakota.
Calder’s eyes drop to my mouth, and he pulls his lower lip in, chewing it hungrily before replying, “I’ll kiss you anywhere you want.”

I may have been the one to ask him to crawl, but I feel like the prey as he makes his way closer, and that scares the shit out of me in the most exciting way possible.

Dakota about Calder
She likes it

Dakota- Oh yeah, right. Like you’ll just let me make demands. You didn’t take kindly to my demands during the house reno.
Calder- This is different. I’m a very open-minded person when it comes to fucking. And the sexual frustration I’ve felt in every cell of my body since the moment I saw you at the club tells me that I will give you whatever you demand.

Letting her be in charge
Telling her how he feels

“You want a casual fuck?” I let the last word linger in the air for a moment before I shrug and add, “I’m right here, Ace.”
She scoffs, annoyance dripping in her tone as she replies, “We don’t even like each other!”
“You don’t have to like me to fuck me.” I lick my lips and smirk to show her this isn’t as serious as she’s making it out to be.

Calder and Dakota

I smirk as I stare back at her. The truth is, I love to hate her. It ignites something inside of me that feels . . . invigorating. Unexpected. Like you never know when things are going to shift between us. And if I’m not mistaken, that spark in her eyes right now tells me she likes it too.

Calder about Dakota
Loves to hate her
Thin line between two emotions
