I shivered lightly as lust crept in. The sexual tension between us was almost unbearable. I felt like jumping on him right there. His hand moved down my chest. I let out a heavy breath as he cupped my breast. Closing my eyes, I waited in anticipation as he leaned in.

Our lips met with a tenderness he had not shown before. It was invigorating, lighting up all my senses. Pushing my finger into his hair, I pulled him close, wanting more of him. Makari’s hands moved back to my hips, and I lifted one leg against his side.

He played with his fingers up and down my thigh, lighting me up like a spark plug. Parting my lips, I invited his tongue into my mouth. I loved the feeling of him exploring all parts of me.

He tasted like fresh mint tea with a splash of honey. Our kiss intensified as his hand moved to my ass. Biting back the moan of pleasure, I caught his lip.

Makari pushed me up against the wall. Burning with desire, I wanted him to take me and bliss the raging fire within. Slowly, I moved my hands down his chest and grabbed the top of his pants. I started to undo his belt and top button as he pushed a finger into my panties.

There was no stopping the groan of pleasure that left my lips. Makari dropped my leg and stepped back. Smiling at me while he fastened his belt, he spoke softly. “No, not here. We can’t do this.”

No way, man, I thought, watching him take another step back. I craved him; I wanted to feel him inside me. I knew this wasn’t the place, but the library was basically empty. No one would even notice us.

As my raging hormones calmed down, I realized something in me had shifted. What has he done to me? Where has the good girl gone? I’ve changed into a bad girl in just a couple of days. This wasn’t right. Sleeping together again was off-limits. But I was so heavily attracted to him that I felt like I was losing my mind.

No, I silently reprimanded myself. This is irresponsible. We can’t ever be together again. I have to focus, and can’t be running around doing things like this. I was relieved that he backed off. Smiling at him, I replied softly. “Yes, I agree. Thank you.”

He wasn’t as innocent as I originally thought. Getting into a regular thing with him would complicate my life more. I didn’t need any more issues to worry about. “I still have two classes,” I said. Moving past him to the table, I grabbed my books and headed for the door.

The rest of the day passed in a daze. I was literally walking around in a daydream. I felt like I was only half awake. My mind kept going back to his tender touch. I was floating on clouds. As the last bell rang, I quickly headed out. I wanted to see him even though I knew this would only lead to my heart breaking.

Makari was leaning against the hood of his truck as I came out. Taking a deep breath, I tried calming my racing heart. I walked across the main road with a skip in my step.

“How’s the rest of your day been?” he asked, opening my door.

“Good, thanks. Now I just want to get home. I’m feeling slightly drained,” I replied. I didn’t dare tell him that I was drained from trying to keep my mind focused.

He got in and headed home. The drive back to his house was quiet. I kept my gaze out the window. I was scared I might end up drooling over him if I looked at him for too long. As the truck came to a stop, I jumped out and disappeared into the house. I went straight up to my room and locked the door.

I wasn’t sure how I was going to get rid of the madhouse that I had turned into overnight, but I had to try. Walking to the bathroom, I filled the tub. I opened all the drawers and cabinets to see what they held.

After finding some bath oils, I added some for relaxation to my water. I lay so long that I almost fell asleep. By the time I got out, my fingers and toes were wrinkled.

Once dressed, I headed for the bed. I had just sat down when there was a knock at the door. “Grace,” I heard Makari call out.

“Yes,” I replied quickly.

“Supper is ready. Are you joining us?” he added.

Pulling the covers up, I replied in a flat tone. “No thanks, I’m not hungry. I had a big lunch at the cafeteria today. I’ll see you in the morning. Sleep well.”

For a moment, there was no reply. I wondered if he had simply left. Then, out of the blue, he spoke again. “Okay, if you’re sure. Sleep tight.”

I listened as he walked off. Laying back, I closed my eyes and tried to clear the images of him from my mind. I had to get things straight and focus on my classes and studies. Maybe a good evening’s rest was just what I needed, I thought as I turned on my side. Tomorrow, we will see what the day holds in store.

Chapter 9 - Makari

Grace likes to sleep in and then snuggle with the pillows. I stood in the room door, watching her sleep. She looked so peaceful. She was a sleeping beauty. Moving closer, I leaned forward, gently pushing a strand of hair out of her face.

Her eyes flickered for a moment. “Grace, you have to get up. We have a busy day ahead,” I said softly.

She looked up at me as she opened her eyes. My heart seemed to melt every time our eyes met. I had to fight the urge to get into bed with her. Grinning, I stepped back as she nodded.

I spoke as I moved to the door. “We have to leave soon. I’ll pour the coffee. See you in a bit.”

“Thanks,” she replied groggily.

I poured two cups of coffee and waited patiently. As I swallowed the last of my coffee, I checked my watch. Half an hour had passed, and Grace had still not come down. We had to get moving, or we would be late. I wondered what kept her as I headed back to her room.
