Kieran's POV

She looked up at me, wide eyed and slightly dazed, her pink lips parted before she gave me a small nod. Grabbing her hands, I helped her stand up, not breaking eye contact. My fingers undid the loose knot of her robe, and I slowly pulled it off, gently setting it aside.

I felt her eyes follow me as I walked back over to her, her dark amber gaze burning with anticipation.

As much as I wanted to grab her and fuck her like there was no tomorrow, that wasn't part of my plan unfortunately.

I was serious about taking this slow and worshipping every inch of her.

So I picked her up, which she wasn't expecting, and placed her in the center of the bed. As I hovered over her naked form, she reached towards me, trying to undo my belt and as much as it killed me, I pulled her hands away.

"Not yet," I shook my head.
