He was being gentle, but I wanted more. I pulled at his hair and pushed my tongue deeper into his mouth. For a second, I was in charge, but he quickly took over by pushing my hips against his, making me feel his hardness grow in his sweatpants. I could feel every part of him, and for the first time ever, I moved one hand under his sweatshirt, feeling the muscles I didn’t know he had under my touch.
His body wasn’t built like a bodybuilder, but he had broad shoulders and insanely defined muscles on his stomach. I smiled, wondering how I got so lucky.
I started to move my hips back and forth on my own while I traced every line and crease on his body.
Low groans escaped him, making his chest vibrate every time.
“Juno,” he whispered into the kiss, but I ignored him and kept on kissing him with as much passion possible. I tugged at his hair again, moving my tongue against his and tasting every inch of his mouth. My hand on his stomach pushed his sweatshirt up, so that I had full access to his upper body.
“Juno,” he said again, but this time he broke the kiss to look me in the eyes. We were both out of breath, and he moved his hands up to my back again. “Clothes stay on,” he told me with a serious undertone.
“Why?”
“Because I said so.”
I frowned, proving my point of him being the main reason why I did that a lot. “I’ve seen a man naked before, Ezra,” I told him.
“I’m sure you have,” he chuckled, brushing his thumbs along my back. “But I don’t think I can hold back if we go any further.”
“Don’t you wanna touch me?”
“I do. Jesus, Juno. Of course I wanna touch you. But I think we should take this part slow. We’ve got time. I wanna enjoy every second I have with you, and fucking you right here on our second date is not what I had in mind.”
I raised a brow. “Who said anything about fucking?”
“No one said it out loud, but we’re both thinking it.” He was right. The truth was; I was still a virgin, and deep down, I was scared to have sex for the first time.
I looked down at his chiseled stomach, then ran my finger through the deep crease in the middle of it. “Okay,” I said quietly. “Clothing stays on. But we can still kiss, right?”
He let out a laugh and squeezed both my thighs before his hands cupped my face, pulling me close until our lips met again.

“Told you it was the uncle. It’s always the one who helps with the search. I could tell he was lying from the start.” It was late, almost midnight, and I was lying on top of Ezra with my head on his chest and his arms around my body.
“It was fairly obvious. I would’ve arrested him the first time questioning him,” he agreed.
I turned my head to look into his eyes, with my chin propped on my hand. “Are you sure you want me to go home? It’s late and dark out. What if a serial killer abducts me?”
“Hm, you’re right. They always go for the pretty ones,” he muttered, tucking a strand of my hair behind my ear.
He sighed. “Fine, you can stay. But you have to follow that one rule, all right? Clothing stays on.”
I grinned and rolled my eyes. “Okay, okay. But I can sleep with you. In your bed,” I said.
He slowly nodded, and I placed a soft kiss to his lips to show him how excited I was to sleep in his arms tonight. “I’ll be good,” I whispered into the kiss, knowing that I probably wasn’t going to be.
Chapter Seventeen
Ezra
That one simple rule was broken not ten minutes after getting into bed with Juno. I had one arm hooked under her neck, with her face close to mine, and my other hand was stopping her from pushing my shirt up any further.
“Juno,” I warned, looking into her lust-filled eyes. The streetlights outside shone on her face, and I could read her face like a damn book. “Not sure what you didn’t understand when I said clothing stays on.”
She rolled her eyes and kept her hand flat on my stomach. “Don’t tell me you haven’t been fantasizing about me naked all evening long, Ezra. Isn’t it more comfortable to sleep without a shirt on anyway?”
I chuckled. “You’re a little devil,” I muttered, holding her wrist tight before she moved her hand further up, or down.
“We’ve kissed already. We’re attracted to each other. What does it matter if we go a step further?”
Right, what did it matter? I could go to jail for not only hanging out with one of my students, but also for assaulting an underage girl. Although she consented to it, they would still put a big fat “rapist” on my forehead if this comes out.
A small sigh escaped her, and she lifted her other hand to my cheek, cupping it gently. “We’re safe here. No one knows what’s going on between us. I don’t think I can wait until next year,” she whispered.
I studied her face. I was the one who needed to be reassured, although I was twice her age. But she wasn’t in the situation I was in. She’d have it easier if this comes out. But maybe I shouldn’t be thinking about this too much. I liked Juno, and I wanted her close. So, maybe it was time to just risk it all.
The way she made me feel by just looking at me with those big, pretty eyes was worth it all. Sure, my whole life was on the line, but would I put my career in danger just to be with the girl that finally made me feel alive again?
Turned out I would do just that. I leaned in and kissed her lips, gripping her jaw with my left hand. I pushed her onto her back, then moved over her to deepen the kiss.
She had a mischievous grin on her lips, and I growled, knowing that from now on I had to be a little rougher with her. “Don’t think you’ll get everything you want from now on,” I muttered into the kiss.
My tongue pushed into her mouth, and I let hers dance around mine before I dove deeper, tasting every inch of her.
I held myself up with my right hand next to her head, and with my knees, I pushed her legs apart to settle between them.
As I pressed my hardening dick against her middle, I felt the heat rising.
“You’re wet,” I pointed out, moving my hand down to her stomach and pulling her shirt up to uncover her panty-covered pussy. “Wet just for me. You like to push me to my limits,” I whispered against her lips.
Juno nodded, and it seemed as if I made her speechless with my dirty-talk. But that wasn’t even close to what I still had in me.
My hand gripped her hip, and I pushed her further into the mattress. “Don’t tell me this is not what you wanted.”
She shook her head this time, and a soft smile spread on her lips. “I’m…” she reached up to cup my face, and if I wasn’t mistaken, her cheeks turned bright red.
“I’m a virgin.” Her voice was low, and I almost didn’t hear her. “Please be gentle,” she whispered, and in that moment, I almost fell apart.
My heart grew because of those three words, and I smiled at her, letting her know that I wasn’t going to hurt her.
I leaned in to kiss the tip of her nose, then placed another on the corner of her mouth. “I’ll be good, I promise.”
Seemed like I had to put my rougher and wilder part of me aside for a while. I didn’t mind. I wanted Juno to feel safe in my arms, and I didn’t want to scare sweet Juno away by showing her just how hard I wanted to fuck her. For now, gentle was okay.
