I can’t keep denying how I feel. And ignoring him isn’t working.

My flesh tingles, sparks flying, desire bouncing off our bodies.

“I hate how much I know I should stay away from you, but can’t stop myself.” One final step has his nose touching mine. “I hate how much I want to kiss you.”

Oh God.

“We can’t just be friends.” He keeps sharing.

“You made me feel cheap and used the other day,” I confess.

His eyes lock onto mine. “That was never my intention. I’m sorry. You gave me the best blow job of my life.” He gulps. “I can’t stop thinking about you.”

“Then don’t.” My voice is full of confidence, hope blossoming in my chest.

“I hate that all I’ve thought about is what your mouth would feel like on mine.” I can’t look away when he presses me hard up against the door with his solid body. “And what it would feel like to lose myself inside of you.” I gasp at his words. “I’m tired of denying how I feel about you.”

His rough, calloused hands find my waist. I inhale a sharp breath, not from the coldness of his touch, but from the way my body burns for him.

I’m desperate. It’s an unshakeable feeling, no matter how hard I’ve tried to wriggle away from it.

“You scare me.” It’s my honest confession.

“You scare me more.”

“Then, let’s be scared together, Wade.”

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX

Kali

His hooded eyes drop to my lips and any small piece of restraint he had left burns into the ether because with our next inhale, he’s crashed his lips into mine and the world could burst into flames for all I care as I lose myself in him.

It’s a rough kiss, anything but gentle, because that’s not what I want. It’s not what we need.

I want to devour him; I want him to make me feel alive, beautiful, desired, something I haven’t felt before.

Grabbing onto the back of his neck, pulling him to me, I open my mouth for him to slide between my lips, and I moan when our tongues touch for the first time. He tastes like fresh mint and bad decisions. I want more.

The world spins. Fast.

The planets colliding, our souls becoming one.

He sucks my tongue gently; my clit throbs in response.

Snaking his arms around my waist, he holds me tight. So tight, I can feel his erection between us, making me feel desperate to get him naked.

I can’t wait another minute.

Our hands turn into a chaotic mess of touching while our teeth clash together in a desperate bid to explore one another.

“I want you.” I groan, tilting my hips, rubbing myself against his erection.

“I want you more.” With both hands he cups my ass, lifting me into the air. My legs automatically wrap firmly around his waist. “Open the door, Kali.” He kisses my jaw, then my neck and bites the sweet spot behind my ear that drives me crazy and will have me begging him to fuck me harder.

My core is aching with need. I’ve never desired anyone as much as him.

I want him to obliterate me, which he might do to my heart if I let him.
