“Waiting for what?” I tilted my head to the side, looking up at him, slowly rising onto my tippy toes.

Then he did something I didn’t expect nor did I think he was capable of.

In one flash moment, he gripped each side of my hips, my legs automatically wrapping around him and before I could take a breath, he had my back pressed against the wall.

His mouth captured mine while he carried all of my weight easily. His tongue slid into my mouth. My chest rose quickly as my heart rate skyrocketed when his hand ran under my shirt, still being able to hold me easily with one arm.

The man knew what he was doing. Our long kiss broke for a moment as he trailed kisses down my neck, and I couldn’t stop the gasp that escaped my lips.

I was gasping for breath when he gently placed me back down to the ground, but my mind was still high from the dose he just gave me.

“Been wanting to do that since I saw you.” He grinned, winked, and just walked off down the hall.

Leaving me standing here, stunned, confused, and really really turned on.

“Dinner.” Kim knocked and opened my bedroom door. “Dad wants us to come down tonight.” She rolled her eyes, and I closed my laptop.

I climbed off my bed, grabbing a jumper and following her out.

“You’ve been really quiet since we got back from university.” It seemed my muteness hadn’t gone unnoticed.

My mind was consumed by that stupid kiss and the way he caused such a reaction out of me.

A pair of snapping fingers in my face caused me to come back to the moment.

“Sorry,” I grumbled and followed Kim into the dining room. “Just a lot on my mind.”

She gave me a ‘not buying it’ look over her shoulder. “Whatever you say.”

I took a seat next to Kim; I hadn’t meant to do it on purpose, but when I looked up, I was directly across from Reaper.

Great.

Wasn’t hungry anymore.

His eyes were as sharp as razor blades, slicing away the layers I had put up to keep him out.

Kade had a way of getting under my skin. He had a way of changing my mind but most of all, he had a strong pull on my heart.

When it came to him, I just melted.

“How was university, girls?” Dad grunted from the top of the table.

“Just thrilling,” Kim replied with attitude and a fake smile.

I just shrugged my shoulders. The only thing that I truly remembered wasn’t something I was bringing up at this table.

“Really?” He put his knife down, swallowing a mouthful of food. “Cause I heard one of you broke into office drawers and stole secure test papers and the other was busy playing tongue hockey in the hallway.”

He knew.

My eyes flickered to Reaper, and I knew instantly, he knew too.

Crap. Why did I feel bad? We weren’t a couple. Suddenly a blanket of guilt wrapped around me.

“I was just making sure the place was up to snuff.” She lowered her voice slightly, smirking at me. “Guess Sebastian’s charm worked on you.”
