The Chef's Sick Mate (Book 17 of the Regal Eclipse Pack Series)

Chapter 42

Holding her in his arms was so much better than Linc ever thought it would be. He wanted to keep here there on his lap forever. She felt amazing. He never wanted to let her go. 

"Well, I guess that means you're experienced," she muttered. 

He almost snorted at that comment, and he wondered what she really meant by it. As opposed to? She said she'd never had a boyfriend. Had she ever been kissed? He felt his cock stir, and realized he needed to turn his attention somewhere else. He laughed. "Yeah, I guess. Do you want to learn how to drive?"

She cocked her head, which he found rather adorable. "Are you offering to teach me?"

"Yeah. Car first, and then if you want, I'll teach you how to drive my motorcycle too," he said. 

Her eyes widened. "You'd teach me to drive a motorcycle?"

"Yeah. Or if not, I hope you'll at least be okay with riding one," he said. 

Her face lit up. "Yeah, I want to. I want to do so many things."

"Okay, you just gotta tell me what you want," he said softly. And at the moment, he was contemplating asking her for a kiss. His gaze kept darting down to those beautiful full lips of hers. Thoughts of them on his own crossed his mind, followed by thoughts of them wrapped around his cock. He needed to stop his thoughts. But he wasn't getting out of this situation without being turned on. And then another thought occurred to him. She would be a virgin. He swallowed. 

"A lot of things," she answered softly, giving him a sexy smile. 

Why did that sound sexual? Because he was horny now, or at least she was making him that way. "Like what?" He ran his hand up her arm and over her neck, before gently cupping her cheek. 

She leaned into his touch and her eyes closed for a moment. "Everything," she whispered.

"Everything?"

Her eyes snapped open, and she nodded, looking down. 

Linc reached out and tipped her chin up. "Have you ever been kissed, Genevive?"

"No," she whispered. 

Oh, she was definitely a virgin then. And for some reason, that turned him on quite a bit. Why had he thought that being with a virgin was a bad idea? He needed to stop thinking about sex. The last thing he wanted to do was pressure her into anything. He smiled at her instead. "I like the fact that my lips are the only ones that will ever be on yours."

A small smile touched those gorgeous lips of hers and he realized his new favorite activity was making her happy. 

"Can I kiss you?" It would be the most he pressured her into today. He'd have to content himself with that. 

"I don't know what I'm doing." She dropped her gaze again. 

That was a habit of hers he was going to have to break. She was his Queen; there was no reason for her to look down, unless she chose to be his submissive too. But that was definitely not a conversation he was having with her right now. Maybe one day, but if it freaked her out, he'd be okay with it. He wanted her completely comfortable with him. "That's okay." He leaned forward and pressed his lips against hers gently at first, enjoying the warmth, the softness and the tingles. Then he pulled back slightly, his eyes on her face. 

She stared at him, and her lips parted a bit. She wasn't smiling. 

"Gen, If I do anything that you're not comfortable with or if I push you too far, please let me know. We can go as fast or as slow as you want." He brushed her hair back behind her ear, then ran his knuckles over her cheek.
