I'm not really sure how to respond to that and I'm extremely tired, so I just nod my head and reply sleepily, "You're welcome, sir."
I feel rather than hear him chuckling and I turn myself around in his lap. He seems shocked that I've done so, but I just look at him and bravely wrap my arms around his neck and lift myself slightly to kiss him. At first he has his hands at my waist as if to push me off, then they wrap around my middle to pull me in closer.
I moan into his mouth and he slides his tongue over my bottom lip and then against my own tongue. Peeta was the only man I had ever kissed like this, wanted to kiss like this. Until now. Just this lip play I have with Mr. Grey is making me feel things I haven't felt in awhile. Is it lack of experience? No, I don't think so. Plenty of men let their affections be known after the Games and I had kissed Gale, but this is different. I'm not a girl anymore, I'm not being forced into pretending to be in love, and this isn't someone who has been in love with me for years, which I know of anyway.
As if he knows that there's something more than just sex happening here, Mr. Grey pulls back and looking dazed, says, "I think we better get you to bed, Miss Everdeen."
I nod and try to untangle myself from his legs. He puts his hands at my waist to help steady me and I automatically grab his hands to pull him up as well. He seems shocked again although I have no idea why this time. He tightens his grip and gets up slowly so that his hair brushes against my stomach and chest. I breathe in the scent of him and it's clean, fresh, and manly. I want to be in his arms again, but I stop myself this time.
Mr. Grey puts the robe back on me and I go to pick up my pile of clothes. He informs me, "You can leave that here, Mrs. Jones will take care of it in the morning."
I pause, not expecting that, though he is rich and most every rich person I have met has servants. "Umm, okay. May I put my panties back on though? Sir?"
He nods, smiling. "Of course you may. No guarantees on how long they'll be on though." He replies with a wink.
I shiver with the thought of more sex so soon and can't help the small smile that's on my face, though I bend my head so he hopefully won't see it. When I see his fingers come under my chin though, I know he has. "Don't ever feel the need to hide something as beautiful as that, Miss Everdeen."
