I get off the couch and walk over to her. “I hope you got a ride home,” I say, shaking my head.
“Jace? Why are you still awake?” she questions, letting her eyes roam over my bare chest.
“Couldn’t sleep and I guess good thing since you seem to need help,” I say.
She laughs and rests her hand on my bare chest. My skin burns from her touch, and I hiss, closing my eyes.
“I’m not that drunk, Jace. I tripped over my heel,” she whispers.
I open my eyes and they collide with a shade of green I’m too familiar with. She licks her plump lips and I fight to keep from attacking them. “What did you do tonight?” I rush out.
“Went out with friends,” she breathes out.
“And?” I push.
She searches my face and my hard eyes stare into hers. “And drank and danced.”
“With who?”
“What the hell, Jace?” she questions.
“With who, Penny?” I growl.
She turns toward me, placing her other hand on my chest and I tremble. “With my friends, my girlfriends. No one else,” she whispers.
My eyes bounce between hers and she moves closer to me. She’s too close and not close enough. My cock is easily felt through my sweatpants, and I know she feels it too when her eyes widen.
Fuck. I know I shouldn’t. She’s off limits. She’s forbidden.
She’s too fucking tempting.
It happens so fast I don’t even have time to think. My fingers sink into her hair, holding on tightly as I crash my mouth to hers. She moans and the second our tongues touch, my head is spinning. Her lips are soft and plump. Her moan has me deepening the kiss. Her tongue dancing with mine causes me to growl against her. Her nails digging into my skin has me pushing my hard cock against her.
I can’t get enough. I want more. I need more.
I tighten my grip on her hair and she moans again, rubbing herself on my dick. I’m going to fucking lose it.
Slowly, I pull away, biting at her bottom lip as I do. When I open my eyes and see her flushed face and heavy eyes, something snaps.
I snap.
I pull back and scrub my face, keeping my eyes focused on the floor. I can’t look at her.
“Go to bed, Penny,” I whisper.
“What? No. Jace, please, look at me,” she rushes out.
My eyes slide to hers and she sees the hardness immediately. “Now!” I shout.
She rushes away from me, slamming her door behind her. I sink to the floor and drop my face into my hands.
I crossed the line and now I don’t know how to fucking go back.
I don’t know if I want to go back.
“Fuck.”
