QUOTE : eye. “Let’s get one thing straight, Mia. You’re safe with me. No matter what. Whether you change your mind about this at the last minute, or you want to go full speed ahead, I promise you I’m going to keep you safe. But I’m not a teddy bear. You sleep with me tonight, and you’re not going to end up peacefully cuddled next to me. There’s nothing soft about me.” He tightened his hold on her wrist, pressed her palm more firmly against his length, and then drew her hand up to his stomach, across the flat planes of his ab muscles, and up to his well-defined chest. “And just because you’re a virgin, because you never met a man who made the kissing good enough to make all that other stuff fade into the background, I’m not going to take it easy on you. I’m going to demand a lot. But I’m going to give you a lot. And if you’re all right with that . . . Then yes, we’ll do this. But if you’re expecting me to turn the lights off and let you leave your nightgown on while I dispense with things quickly and easily, you have the wrong guy.
