Page 24 of Game Night: Truth or Dare

His mouth falls open. “Wait, how did you–”

“Know your favorite type of food?” I smirk.

He nods again, looking like the cutest bobblehead. Damn, he’s adorable.

“Let’s just say a little birdy told me.” I flash him a smile. “Plus pasta is amazing. So, it's a date. I’ll pick you up tomorrow at seven.” There’s no way in hell I’m telling Lawson that I called my mom this morning, asking her for any advice. Or that she somehow knows he loves chicken Alfredo and pesto dishes.

Lawson looks awestruck. I've managed to shock the guy at least three times tonight. I wonder if I can go for 4-0.

“Can I kiss you?” I ask, praying he doesn’t turn me away. My heart pounds and it's like a flock of ravens took flight in my stomach. He's so handsome with his red curls falling into his face. The porch light bathes Lawson in a yellow glow. His gaze finally drops to my lips, and he cups my cheeks, his fingertips feeling hot against my skin.

“Yes,” he whispers, lightly pulling me toward him.

Leaning down, I do the one thing I wanted to do all night. I touch my lips to his. The touch feels electric.

The kiss is innocent at first. Just a light press, but then his mouth parts for me in a silent invitation.

He gasps when our tongues touch. It feels like a zap of lust shooting through me. I know he feels it too, because we pull each other closer at the same time.

Yet, somehow, he doesn’t feel close enough.

It’s as if my sole focus is on Lawson. The noise from the party is drowned out until all I can hear is our heavy breathing, the creaking of the swing we are sitting on, and the pounding of my heartbeat.

When I suck on Lawson’s tongue, he moans into my mouth.

Damn. He’s delicious. He tastes like chocolate and a hint of vodka.

Lawson deepens the kiss. Tilting his head and swiping his tongue against mine, and I don’t know if he realizes it, but the combination of his sounds mixed with our desperate kissing, is turning me on. The guy’s a virgin, and I don’t want to scare him, but fuck he makes me feel like I could lose control. I never felt that before. It's exhilarating.

To my absolute shock, Lawson climbs onto my lap, straddling me. The swing rocks under us, causing our erections to press together as he falls forward. I guess Lawson wasn’t kidding when he said he knows what he wants.

I groan.

The sound causes him to moan in response. My hands grasp onto his hips for leverage, and he grinds against me. I’m harder than a fucking metal pipe and feel like I can come just from this alone.

My fingertips travel under his shirt, where I feel the slight jut of his hipbones. He practically melts on top of me. “Don’t stop,” he pants.

Lightly I trace a path across his stomach, and he trembles under my touch. Fuck, he’s so desperate and sexy as he grinds faster. I’m just as keyed up as he is.

I came out here to make sure he was okay, so I didn’t expect any of this. But damn if I can stop it. At this point, I would give Lawson anything.

The glass door slides open and with it, the chaotic sounds of laughter, chatter, and music surround us.

Lawson’s pretty green eyes pop open.

The spell is broken, and Lawson pulls away first, sliding off my lap to sit next to me. He peers around us as if only now remembering where we are. We aren’t alone, and as tempting as it is, making out with him on the swing is not where I want others to spot him.

My protective side flares. Law has already been through so much. I place one more gentle kiss against his lips and make a silent vow to make sure he has fun tonight.

Standing, I hold my hand out to him. “We should take a minute to cool off.” My eyes drop down to his tented pants. “And then let’s walk back in there and show the party you have nothing to be ashamed of. What do you say?”

Lawson only hesitates for a moment before he smiles at my wiggling fingers.

“Can we dance together?” He asks with a shy smile and the cutest little dimples I’ve never noticed before appear at the corners of his lips.

“Of course.”

He clasps his hand in mine, and together we make our way back into the house.
