'"I'll show you what to do. Get on your knees," he demands, his voice low like a growl. I can only do what he requests, nodding submissively as I fold my hands carefully in my lap, watching as he scoots closer to the edge of the bed. "Teach me. I want to know how to make you feel good," I whisper. I lean into his hand as he gently strokes the pad of his thumb against the curve of my cheekbone. He tucks the loose strands of my hair back behind my ear and then sinks his teeth into his bottom lip. "Good girl, Blossom. Good girl."' 🌸🌸🌸 Eager as ever to continue their relationship in their dream city, New York, Lexi Brooks and Bryce Bradshaw have to learn how to stick by each other despite all the things they encounter in their new home; new opportunities, new friendships, and most importantly, new potential romantic interests.
