Page 31 of Unfolding Ethan

Exhaling a sharp breath, I said, “I was thinking about you.”

“What are you talking about, Kiara?”

“You asked me what the fuck I was thinking. I was thinking about you”—I paused and looked at his diamond-like eyes—“and sex.”

Holy shit!I had to remember this and tell Katherine. She’d be so proud of me and I could finally say ‘I grew some tits!’Not literally.

Ethan

The air around us changed as soon as those words left her lips, the ones I had savored, bitten, and kissed moments ago. The temperature of the room increased and I could make out her petite body, leaning against the door. Her warm puffs of air brushed my neck and I watched her skin flush, her chocolate brown eyes fixing me with a sultry gaze.

So, I was not the only one thinking about getting naked and playing around with each other’s bodies.

I forced myself to remember why I had pulled away from her when she had moaned my name, begging me to go further while I was getting hard just by kissing her. I didn’t want her to regret this tomorrow or regret kissing me; her best friend. If we crossed this line, which was already crossed after skinny-dipping and kissing each other, I didn’t know where we would stand. And losing her as my best friend was scarier than anything else.

Would she still want to be my best friend after this?

“What did you just say?” I asked, my voice low and deep.

The muffled sound of music reached in the room while my heart pounded in my ears. Kiara was breathing heavily, her chest heaving up and down, and I had a hard time focusing on her face when I noticed that her nipples were hard against the bralette she was wearing.Holy shit, she is aroused.

I swallowed the lump in my throat and shook my head out of all the dirty things I wanted to do with her. She was my best friend, for fuck’s sake.The best friend you kissed and have a boner for. Not right now, Eiffel.

Kiara snapped, “You heard me, Ethan.” Her brown eyes turned lethal and her pupils dilated.

She looked furious. Andhot.

I stepped closer to her, our bodies barely touching each other. Her eyes darkened a shade when they glanced at my lips, her tongue swiping over her bottom lip. I resisted the urge to kiss her against the door until she begged for more.

I lied, “No, uh, I couldn’t hear you over the blaring music.”

“Really?”

My lips curled into a smirk as I leaned closer, my lips brushing her ear, and I gave a small bite, making her shudder underneath me. Kissing the sweet spot, I whispered, “No, I wanted to hear you say it again.”

I pulled away when she swallowed the lump in her throat. Catching my gaze, her sharp jaw clenched. She huffed and stood tall but still a head lower than me. My eyebrows rose when she held the fabric of my T-shirt and yanked me down.

“Iwasandamthinking about you and sex,” she said, her voice sultry, and all my senses jumped out the window.

I didn’t waste my time pressing my body against hers, trapping her to the door. I bucked my hips against hers and her eyes widened when she felt my erection pressing against her sex for the second time tonight. I slowly licked the seam of my lip, peering at the warm flush of her delicate neck and rosy cheeks.

Kiara cupped my face. “Now, stop wasting time and kiss thefuckout of me. Well, a bit gently beca—”

That did it.

“Ethan? Are you in there? Have you seen Kiara?”

A low groan escaped my throat and I dropped my head on her shoulder when she sighed sadly and pulled away from me. I already missed the feeling of her little body pressing against mine, the soft curves of her flushed over my hard muscles. I managed to force Eiffel down while Kiara ran a hand through her hair, which looked like a sexy wild mess of waves, and damn it, I wanted to run my hand through them and tug them when I kissed her.

“Katherine is going to die someday,” she muttered under her breath and was about to open the door when I held her elbow.

Stepping behind her, I leaned down and gave a soft kiss to her jaw and whispered, “Tell her you’re not feeling well. I want to take you home.”

She took a shaky breath and I bit back my smile. Kiara opened the door and Katherine sighed in relief when she saw her best friend. Then her gaze traveled above her, and she raised her eyebrows at me when I smiled sheepishly.
