Quinnâs expression as he showed off his toned body certainly didnât escape Oliverâs notice, and he didnât even move to hide the smirk that spread across his face. He enjoyed knowing she wanted him, knowing that some part of her found something about him so attractive, she chose to lie to everyone else in her life, to break every one of those personal rules of hers he knew existed, just to be with him. It wasnât just about that, though. Despite his demeanor, Oliver could appreciate the little things, the things that, if she were asked, he was willing to bet Quinn wouldnât even realize that he realized. The fact that she didnât run to the bathroom to fix her hair and makeup every time she woke up in the morning. The fact that she let her guard down around him, saying how she truly felt versus maintaining the infamous persona heâd come to both know and hate. The fact that she spoke freer, and didnât bother editing herself. Oliver noticed the little things, and those were the things heâd come to love cherish the most about Quinn Fabray.Â
Her comment came, and he wiggled his eyebrows both playfully and suggestively. âOh, weâll make it out of the bedroom alright. You think Iâm afraid to fuck you in the kitchen? My parents arenât home, Princess, itâs just you and I here. Iâll fuck you on every square inch of this house, then take you to the front lawn, just to prove I will.â Leaning forward, he placed his hands on either side of her on the bed, his weight on the heels of his hands as he pressed his lips to the shell of her ear. âAnd because I canât get enough of your perfect body. Those gorgeous noises you make for me. How it sounds when you moan my name, those nails scratching at my back while you come again, and again, andâŠâ His lips made their way down her neck, the scruff of his five oâclock shadow brushing lightly against the sensitive skin there, enough to bring goosebumps across her chest and arms. ââŠAgain.â He whispered, nipping at her skin with his teeth before moving to ghost his lips across hers before righting himself once more. He rolled his eyes at the way she covered herself, but smirked as she repeated the lie he knew sheâd told so many times, laughing to himself.
 There was no denying how beautiful she looked, stunning really, her still-naked body wrapped in nothing but his sheet and his scent, her blonde hair falling freely around her shoulders, perfectly framing her face. It was in those moments he wanted to say it, wanted to throw caution to the wind and tell her just what he felt for her. Still, his own fears held him back, and he bit his tongue once again. âYour wish is my command, Princess.â He nodded. Leaning forward, he took hold of the bottom of the sheet, ripping it away from her body, leaving her exposed once again. After a moment to take her in, he opened his arms, reaching forward to pull her up, holding her against him before lifting her easily, wrapping her legs around his waist as he began to carry her out of the room and towards the kitchen. âThereâs my good girl.â He whispered, pressing a kiss to her cheek as he carried her down.
Of course, Oliver took Quinnâs daring words and stepped even further-- then picked her up and carried her even further. His lips were on her soft skin, his stubble both reddening it from the slight scratch and making her shiver. Everything he said and did to her hit every button she had, especially the ones that she hadnât even known that she had. It was no wonder that she was risking everything to be with Oliver Gray, even if it was only in private. This man made her feel unlike anyone else ever had and she presumed... ever would. He paid attention. He cared. He excited the danger-seeking part of her that wanted something different than the status quo, but he also took care of the soft woman inside of her that wanted to feel loved and adored. He took the sheet from her afterwards and she didnât protest or hide, arching a brow at the man in front of her and his mischievous actions. âYouâre incorrigible is what you are.â But there was no snide reply, no denial that sheâd let him do each and every single thing heâd just listed.Â
As she was carried off into the kitchen, her whole bare body wrapped around him, she let herself relax in his arms. Her legs were hooked at the small of his back and her arms were wrapped around his shoulders but she let him carry her, knowing that he was more than strong enough and heâd want her to relax. From the safety of the crook of his neck, she was able to close her eyes and really let herself do just that; relax. Her expression softened and she breathed quiet, slow breaths. He praised her and she smiled, shaking her head only to press her nose into his neck. In moments like these, she could pretend that she wasnât the Quinn Fabray with a million and one responsibilities, including a popular boyfriend to appease, train, and order around. In moments like these, she could just be Quinn, the real Quinn. Even Oliver didnât always get this out of her, it was buried so far beneath the surface but he was the only one that got any of it. âYours, hmm?â She teased, then kissed his neck and his cheek. But when he said it that way...âYours.â It was a small admittance, a complicated one, but she meant it. Maybe she had a boyfriend, but he didnât have her. Not like this. It was the truth, even if it didnât sound like it immediately. This was one of those rare moments where she told him how much he meant to her, cryptically of course. âIâll have to get breakfast next time.â
