Getting off his back, I repeated, “If you turn over, I can massage your front.”
“I can’t right now.”
“Why not?”
Turning his head, Tyton squeezed one eye together and wrinkled his nose. “Because I don’t want you to be scared.”
“Of what?”
“Of my major boner.”
The look of confusion on my face made him elaborate, “You know what an erection is, right?”
By then, I understood, and I felt stupid for being so slow. “Yes, I know what it is.”
“I get that this isn’t sexual for you, but I can’t control that I’m turned on by your closeness and your touch.”
Again, that wild swirling inside my stomach made everything tingle and I involuntarily smiled. “You’re turned on by me?”
“Very.”
Having a man desire me was a first and it surprised me how a dormant female pride stretched and smiled inside of me. Tyton had already proven that he could be trusted. He had been alone with me in a secluded area for a few hours now and he hadn’t taken advantage of the situation.
“I don’t mind.”
He stared at me. “That’s because this all means nothing to you, but I’m not going to turn around and have you on top of me. If I do, I’ll fucking come in my briefs.”
“If you’re so bothered by it, then you can massage me.”
Closing his eyes, he gave a short nod. “Okay.”
I got off him and he rolled away, letting me have his spot. Closing my eyes, I used my hands to rest my head on.
“Do you prefer it if I keep my top on?”
“Would you normally take it off?”
“Yeah, but I don’t have to if this is hard for you.” I turned and noticed his hand shaking a little when he pushed his hair back.
“Or I could take it off while you do my back and then I’ll put it back on when you do my front. Would that be okay?”
“Uh-huh.”
Because he couldn’t look me in the eye, I asked again, “You sure?”
He looked serious when he nodded.
Pulling off my top, I closed my eyes again.
“Okay, Tyton, use those strong hands of yours.” It was meant to be funny, but he was so tense that I felt a little bad for him. “Relax.”
“I am relaxed.”
“No, you’re tense and serious. I get that it’s the novelty of the situation, but on the other side of the border this is just an everyday thing.”
Brushing my hair to one side, he began massaging my shoulders.
“Remember the lotion, it makes it easier.”
