“Does that turn ya off? Have ya changed yer mind?”
He cups my face as I sit here on the table, feeling embarrassed. I should have kept my mouth shut. If not for the warning bells ringing in my head, I wouldn’t have stopped him.
I want sex. I want sex with him awfully bad. If he kisses like that, I know sex with him will be amazing. At least I hope so.
“Ya, DJ, are mine. I don’t care if yer a virgin or not. When I take ya no one else before me will matter. There will be no one after.
“Am I proud of ya for not giving away what’s mine? Aye. That means I get to fully corrupt ya. There is nothing ya could do that would turn me off.”
He finishes his words with a kiss that has my head buzzing. I run my hands through his hair and hold him close as he drinks from my mouth. Shite, I shouldn’t have stopped him.
He breaks the kiss and moves his lips to my ear. “Don’t worry, I’m a good listener. I’ve heard everything you’ve said and all that you haven’t.
“I’m going to show you you can trust me and I’m going to give you a first time you’ll never forget. I’m not here to hurt you, DJ. I’m here because I care about you.”
“If ya care about me and don’t want to hurt me, stop with the accent.” He finishes the end of my sentence with me and we both laugh.
“Come, let’s talk some more. I’ll try my best to stick to Gaelic just for ya,” he says with a grin and proceeds to spend the rest of the night speaking to me in Gaelic.
Brooklyn
I’m in my car following behind DJ. I want to make sure for myself that she reaches home safely. I probably should have let her go home hours ago.
However, sitting and talking with her in Gaelic felt so familiar. It felt like home. My family doesn’t use the language as much as we used to.
For the most part, we’ve all become Americanized. I’m going to enjoy having DJ in New York with me. She’s even picked up a few Scottish nuances I’m able to appreciate as they remind me of my mom.
“Aye, she’s perfect,” I murmur to myself.
My thoughts go to her earlier words. She doesn’t think she can trust me. Something has changed with her. Deja was never this cautious. She took to new friends easily.
In fact, as I remember, she was the first to welcome the new person in. Deja has a big heart and an old soul. She has been a listening ear for as long as I can remember.
She’s smart as a whip and witty. I can’t imagine what has made her so cautious. I tighten my hands on the wheel as I think of all the things I could be missing. I need answers.
DJ pulls up in front of the cottage and parks. I place my car in park and step out. When I get to her car, I open the door for her, and she steps out.
A smile comes to my lips as she’s wearing my vest that’s swallowing her. I gave it to her when we stepped out of the pub. It’s a bit nippy this time of morning with the frosty bite in the air.
I didn’t want her to catch a cold with her back bare. As great as she looks in the sexy outfit, that’s a lot of bare skin to have out. I tug the vest around her to keep her warm, then reach for her hand to walk her to the door.
“Ya don’t have to walk me. Ya should head to yer … hotel?”
“Ach, no hotel. I’m staying with family. Uncle Finlay keeps the doors open to us even when he’s not in town.”
“So you’re staying at Uncle Finlay’s, but he’s not here?”
“Aye.”
“Well, thanks. Ya didn’t have to follow me home. I would have been fine on my own,” she says as we stand outside the front door of the cottage she lives in with her great-gran.
“I feel better knowing I’ve seen ya to yer door,” I say as I wrap my arms around her.
“I had a good time. It was nice to feel like I was back home.”
“Aye, it was.”
I dip my head and peck her lips. The gentle kiss quickly turns into a heated one. It’s nearly impossible for us to keep the passion out of our kisses.
I can feel she wants me as much as I want her. I was blown away when she said she’s still a virgin. I want nothing more than to make her first time special for her.
I pull away and look down at her when I feel we’re about to get carried away. She sucks in a sharp breath and begins to squirm in my embrace. I grin and plant a kiss against her temple.
