.

I think he whispered something like "Can I?" In my ear, but my head was too fogged up to be trusted.

I'm not sure how I whispered or showed my affirmative answer but all I know is, a second later, his hands had slipped in and-

Holy frickin' bejesus!

My breath got caught In my throat and I was about to smack his hand away the second my eyes caught the sight of Cole shifting his head against the recliner but stopped when I realized his fingers weren't even touching me... there. His hand hadn't even slipped in fully. He was just resting it against the spot right beneath my lower belly.

I let out a breath and pinched the crap out of Blake's thigh, causing him to jolt a bit and make a slight shrieking sound. Cole's eyes opened at that and he turned his head towards us, his eyes trailing down the blanket. "What the heck are you guys doing?"

Blake was quick to answer. "Popping a pimple on my uh pe-"

"-elvis, his pelvis." I pinched him again, causing him to shift beneath my hand and lightly smack my thigh.

I sighed and narrowed my eyes and Cole, silently telling him to go back to sleep.

And he did, about a minute later, totally forgetting about what he had just asked ten seconds ago.

My heart slowly began going back to its normal pace and I huffed out a breath as I brought my gaze back to the screen, Blake's other hand no longer laying over my lower stomach. Instead, it went to my waist and he cuddled me up against him, holding me tighter as we both pretended to watch the movie.

Truth is, I was still feeling hella tingly everywhere, and my ovaries were damn near exploding at the thought of what I thought was gonna happen moments ago.

How stupid was I to think that Blake would actually do that... to me for the first time while sitting in the same room as a half-dead Cole.

I felt Blake's fingers begin to rub at my waist as my eyes watched the television and I just couldn't get my head to focus on whatever the hell was going on in the movie. I suddenly just became aware of the sound of Blake's soft breathing right beside my ear and the feel of his fingers grazing my skin.

Not again.

I felt like I was about to explode and I just stood up from my place and began walking towards my room, not looking back for even a second to check Blake's reaction. I fastened my pace when I was near the room and let out a breath when I entered and closed the door behind me.

My eyes caught the sight of my face in the mirror on the other side of the room and my eyes widened at the color of it. I touched my cheeks and felt the hot temperature radiating off of them. I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair.

I'm gonna beat Blake's butt.

I froze in my place when I heard footsteps approaching my room from the hallway and cursed under my breath.

This isn't good for my ovaries.

I heard the door open behind me and my heart went back to feeling like it was some kind of ticking bomb that was seconds from exploding the second my nose caught the scent of his cologne.

Seriously, how much did that cologne cost?

I felt a pair of arms wrap around me as his chest pressed against my back. I sucked in a breath when I felt his lips graze my neck. The weirdest feeling started hitting me and I almost felt like crying out when his lips pulled back.

But then his hands loosened around me for a split second and I found my body spinning to face him. He didn't give me a minute to catch my breath before he pressed his lips to mine harder than ever before and one of his hands got tangled in my hair.

I kissed him back hard and trailed my hands over his wide back. He began taking steps forward towards the bed, making me take backward steps without breaking the heated kiss. His tongue worked over mine and I stopped when the back of my legs hit the foot of the bed.

Blake's body kept leaning closer though, and he gently pushed my back to the bed, making me lie down as he climbed on top of me and dipped his head into my neck, trailing kisses.

I let out the most embarrassing sound when his mouth sucked on a certain spot there and my hands were clawing at his shirt without me even realizing it, wanting the material off of him right this second.

He sucked on the spot for one more second before pulling back and letting me sit up beneath him so I could slip his shirt off. He helped me take the rest of it off when it reached his chin and his hair came out messy from the quickness of it.

He pushed me back to the mattress and my fingers dug into his hair, the weird feeling was getting more intense at this point and I knew what I wanted. "Blake," I breathed into his neck as I kissed it.

"Yes, baby." He ran his nose over my jaw and landed a kiss there before dragging his lips to my ear, kissing me there too.

"I want..." My cheeks flushed and I breathed, not knowing how the hell I'm supposed to blurt out the stupid words storming my brain.

"What do you want, Livi?" He whispered into my ear, "Tell me." His fingers brushed a small strand of hair away from my forehead.

"I don't- I don't know," Now that was a lie. My body heated up when Blake moved his face so his nose was touching mine. His green eyes burned into my hazel ones.

His hand cupped my face and he kissed my lips more gently this time. My eyes slid shut and I felt his hot breath hit my jaw. "Open your eyes, Livi."

I let him trap me in his gaze again, it seemed way more gentle now, almost encouraging. "Do you want me to-" I slapped my palm over his mouth and he chuckled against it, kissing it before placing his hand over it and removing it from his mouth.

I quickly sat up a bit and captured his lips with mine, not letting him finish asking. He ran his hand down my back and stopped at the hem of my shirt. He pulled back from kissing me and looked me in the eyes, silently asking me if it was okay for him to tug.

I'm surprised at how quick my desire for him was able to push my insecurities away for only this moment and I nodded my head, stuffing my face into his neck and breathing. He kissed my forehead before I started feeling the cool air hit my back as Blake began removing my shirt.

He stopped when the shirt was at level with my bra and whispered, "Are you sure, baby?"

I landed a kiss on his neck and nodded my head. "Words, Livi." He softly said before repeating, "Are you sure?"

"Yes," I managed to let out in a voice that wasn't entirely steady. My shirt was off of me in a matter of seconds. Blake pulled back and I closed my eyes, my heart palpitating in its place, knowing he was looking at me now.

"Holy fuck," His whisper was barely audible.

Thank god I was sucking my tummy in.

My eyes slowly began fluttering open as Blake let me rest my back against the mattress again. I looked at his face and froze when I saw his expression. His eyes were trailing all over my upper regions and I blushed looking down at my baby blue bra.

I hate myself.

"So fucking gorgeous- My god, Livi." Blake ran his fingers over my skin and I almost felt like tearing up at how beautiful and confident his stare made me feel. He slid a bit down the bed and dipped his head to kiss my torso.

He always stuffs his face beneath my shirt and kisses my stomach when we're cuddling, but this time, the feeling hitting me was different. It carried more passion and left me feeling hot and fiery. It affected my body in a totally different way.

He peppered kisses from the bottom of my torso all the way back to my face and stopped when his lips were brushing over mine again. His eyes stared into me with the most tender emotion I've seen him display and he brought his thumb to my cheek, wiping a single tear I didn't know was even there.

I looked away from him, feeling embarrassed from tearing up during such an intimate moment. God, I totally ruined the mood. Why the heck was I even crying?

"Look at me, Olivia. I'm not saying this again," He cupped my jaw and forced me to lock gazes with him. I blinked back another tear and he stroked my full cheek. "You're fucking exquisite baby, everything about you is driving me crazy and I won't let you think otherwise, especially right now. I know you're not feeling as confident as a fucking gorgeous woman like you should at the moment, but remember when I told you we're changing that?" He stroked my hair, and I nodded. "We're gonna start with the big step now, Leprotto," he whispered.

I couldn't stop the other tear from slipping and I let out a shaky breath, nodding my head. Blake gave me the most adorable smile and leaned in to kiss my nose. "I'm gonna need you to stop sucking in that pretty little tummy of yours first, gorgeous."

My whole body burned with embarrassment at that and Blake's eyes crinkled from his gentle smile. "You're adorable," He whispered before tapping my tummy and sliding down so he could face it again.

He looked up at me with raised eyebrows when I did not make a move to stop flattening my stomach and a lock of his hair fell over his forehead as he said, "You wanna do this the hard way or the easy way, Livia?"

My stomach clenched at his tone and I shook my head, not willing to let him see how much fat my stomach actually holds. Blake nodded his head to himself and I sucked in another breath when he placed his lips back over my stomach.

"Okay then." He whispered over it before parting his lips and beginning to blow sloppy raspberries over it, causing my eyes to widen and my mouth to let out a bunch of unwelcome giggles.

He smiled against me when my laughs stopped me from sucking in my stomach and eventually, his childish raspberries turned into sweet kisses, all over my belly.

The tears in my eyes were long gone when his lips pressed into the waistband of my shorts and I shrieked when he tickled my sides after noticing my attempt at sucking my tummy back in. "Be a good girl and keep your stomach that way or I swear to god Livi, I'll spend the rest of the night torturing the fuck out of your guts- your lungs will feel like giving out from the harshness of your laughter."

My eyes widened and I didn't dare make a move to suck it back in. Blake smirked against me before kissing the waistband of my shorts. My stomach fluttered again and he looked up at me from below, giving me the same look that asked if it was okay for him to undress me.

I sucked in my bottom lip and nodded my head, feeling really weird. A good kind of weird. I heard Blake curse again when he was able to see the rest of me and my hands went to cover my thighs on instinct. Could he see my hip dips too? I bet all the girls he went out with have pretty curvy bodies.

I lifted my thighs a bit over the bed so they could seem skinnier and Blake sighed before pushing them back against the bed and grabbing both my wrists with one of his hands. "I'll tie them up with your own pretty hair to get it out of your face too, Olivia- I swear to god, do not test me. I'd be gladly hitting two birds in one stone."

My eyes widened for the millionth time today. What kind of threat is that?

My thoughts were interrupted when Blake started kissing the skin of my thighs, his other hand still holding them down. I rested my head back and found myself actually enjoying his small kisses, heat going back to pooling at my lower belly. I stifled a bunch of sounds at the feeling.

His lips kept getting near my inner thighs and ten seconds later, I couldn't handle it anymore. "Blake!" I choked out a plead.

He kissed me there one last time before coming back up to face me. "What's the matter, Livi?" He knows exactly what the matter is and I would've smacked him if I wasn't this turned on.

I threw my head back when his fingers went back to grazing my heated skin and almost whimpered, "Please."

Blake's head dipped so it could hover over my face and it caused some of his thick front locks to fall over my forehead. Blake hummed. "What is it, baby?" he clearly wanted to hear me say it.

The blood in my neck burned and for some reason, I found myself leaning forward and placing my lips near his ear, shyly whispering two simple words that said everything I needed and wanted if not more.

And he gave it to me. Everything. And more.

We continued to remove layer after layer until nothing separated us. The only sounds heard after that were Blake's gentle encouraging and assuring words in the dim room and the soft noises my lips finally let his ears catch.

♛

I woke up to the feeling of my cheeks being bombarded with a dozen featherlike kisses and was blinded by the morning light when I tiredly slid my eyes open. My eyes didn't get to suffer a second longer though, because Blake's face was suddenly back over me, blocking out the sunlight from hitting my face.

I squinted my droopy eyes to get a better view of him and my heart stuttered when I saw him smile. He leaned down and placed a kiss on my nose, "Morning beautiful." Still can't get over his morning voice.

I rubbed my eyes with my fists and my arms ached from the simple movement. For some reason, my entire body was sore. I wanna go back to sleep.

Blake's raspy chuckle made my eyes open a bit wider and I looked up at the fallen locks dangling over his forehead, "Morning." I managed a sleepy smile.

I looked up at his smiling plump lips. They look so kissable. I had the urge to lean forward and press a soft morning kiss there but remembered... morning breath. So instead, I just used ninety percent of my energy to lift my head up and land a kiss on his forehead.

I pulled back to rest my head back down but stopped midway when the thoughts suddenly came rushing towards me... Last night.

Oh my god. LAST NIGHT.

My face burned and subconsciously, my head titled and I looked down at Blake's body over the duvet, which was still covering me. He was wearing nothing but a pair of black boxer briefs. My eyes widened and my head replayed all the images from last night.

Holy freakin' cow-

I quickly took my stupid eyes off his body and locked gazes with him. My lips parted in embarrassment and I was quick to make a move to cover my face with the duvet but Blake stopped me midway, shaking his head with a smile.

I pursed my lips, my face still flaming as all the images from last night kept repeating in my head.

Blake seemed to notice that because he visibly held back a chuckle and leaned down, kissing my temple before interlocking our hands over the bed and whispering, "Come on,"

My eyebrows furrowed at that and I was about to ask him what he meant but my lips froze when he started pulling the covers off of me. Most of my body was covered by Blake's huge t-shirt.

He helped me sit up and only then did I realize how sore my body really was. Damn.

Blake seemed to notice that because he placed his hands beneath my back and thighs and stood up so he was carrying me bridal style.

I held back a shriek and let my hands automatically wrap around his neck. "What are you doing?" My voice came out raspy.

"Shower," He simply said.

My eyes widened only a but and another blush took over my cheeks.

Shower, as in... nakedness?

Ovaries: Shower, as in... se-

No.

My eyes widened even more as Blake stepped into my bathroom in the hallway and shut the door with his leg.

He set me down to set on the closed toilet lid and crouched down so he was at eye level with me. He eyed my red face and smiled.

Brushing the hair away from my face, he whispered "Don't worry Muffin, we're not doing anything. Just getting cleann." He wiggled his eyebrows and I slapped his chest, stifling a smile.

Ovaries: Damn it.

Vajayjay: Thank god.

He kissed my palm that had slapped him on his chest before standing up and walking towards the shower.

I watched as he worked the water and couldn't help but let my eyes check out his back muscles and trail all the way down.

I quickly looked away when I saw him begin to turn his body and my eyes landed on my toothbrush. I got up and walked towards it lazily, grabbing it and beginning to brush my teeth.

Blake walked over to the sink next to me and grabbed his extra toothbrush, which was placed there a few nights ago, and brushed his teeth with me. Smiling at me with a mouthful of foamy toothpaste when we locked gazes in the mirror.

He then turned around to test the water's temperature again when he was done brushing his teeth. "Water's ready, baby." Blake's voice was soft as he walked back towards me, I was done brushing my teeth now.

My neck began heating up again and my stomach clenched when he stopped and stood in front of me. I looked up at him and he held my face in his hands, "Would it be more comfortable for you if we each took one separately?"

I sucked my top lip in between my teeth and flicked my gaze towards the shower for a second. I looked back into his eyes, the heat in my neck spreading everywhere else in my body as I shook my head slowly, making him smile and kiss my cheeks.

His hands dropped down my body and he tapped my waist, leaning forward and catching my lip with his teeth, pulling it out. "Arms up then, love." He whispered against my lips.

I slowly raised my arms up for him and his eyes didn't leave mine as he pulled his big shirt off of me. The slightly cool air hit my bare body as Blake took off the rest of what he was wearing and led me towards the shower, helping me get into it.

I shivered just before the hot water hit my body and I looked up at Blake in front of me, whose head was tilted back, letting the water wet his hair faster. I smiled at the sight of him and slowly began to feel my muscles relax.

I closed my eyes and let the water run down my hair and body a little more before I slid them back open and reached out to grab the shampoo but was stopped by Blake's hand.

I furrowed my eyebrows but then raised them when I saw him grab the shampoo and let go of my hand, smiling as the water dripped down his perfect face. "Turn around, Leprotto."

I held back a smile and turned around, hearing him squirt some shampoo into his palm and put the bottle back in its place before his fingers were massaging my scalp. My eyes closed on their own and I almost rolled them behind my lids... It felt too good.

I tilted my head back closer to him and let him rinse my hair for a few minutes in comfortable silence. He then placed me directly beneath the showerhead and rinsed some more until the shampoo was no longer there and I saw his hand reach towards the conditioner.

He held it up and I'm guessing he was reading whatever was written on the bottle because he didn't open the lid right away. "Damn." I heard him whisper a second later.

I creased my brows and turned around, "What?" I watched him eye the bottle.

"You don't have the ultra Seven-in-One shit? Shame." He pressed his lips together.

My eyes widened and I scrunched my face up, I couldn't tell if he was joking or not. "Seven in one?"

His eyes averted to me and narrowed. "Yeah."

I scrunched my face harder under the water, "Seriously Blake?"

"What?"
