Stepping up behind Bentley, I wrap my arms around his waist and pull him a couple of steps away from the stove before spinning him towards me. He laughs from deep in his chest when I take his arms and start flapping them wildly with the music, giving him no choice but to dance like an idiot with me in the middle of the kitchen.

Taking his hand, I hold it up and twirl myself under his arm before stepping back into him. He smiles down at me with so much adoration that for a moment, I nearly lose my breath. Trying not to let him distract me, I pull back again and twirl a couple more times, my arms flying through the air.

I don't care what I look like. I don't care that my movements are crazy and wild because right now, that's exactly how I feel. I feel free, like all the weight that has sat so heavily on me simply does not exist in my perfect little world here with Bentley. 

Here, it is just us. Just me and him and nothing else matters. Nothing but this. The music blaring around us, the look in his eyes as he watches me dance like a crazy person and twirl around the kitchen. Grabbing his hand, I make him spin me again before moving his hand to the small of my back in a dip.

I lean back slowly, making sure he has a hold of me before letting my arms fall above my head and my body to go limp in his arms. He lets me dangle there for a few moments before slowly pulling me back up.

The moment my body becomes flush with his, I can see the hunger in his eyes. I can feel the change, the sexual tension that always surrounds us taking a front seat to anything else going on. Dropping his face to mine, he takes my lips on a slow heated kiss that makes my body melt into his touch.

Bentley Reed has total power over my body and he is one hundred percent aware of this fact. He can bend and mold me to his will and I am more than prepared to let him lead. That's the beautiful thing about my relationship with him, for the first time in my life, I am not afraid to give someone else control. I can let myself go and know, without a doubt, that he will always make sure I land exactly where I am meant to.
