I watched the blush grow on her cheeks, her eyes dropping back to my lips. We were so close I only needed to tip my head to swallow her bottom lip.

Instead, I pushed off her. Let’s see how she liked being denied.

“Don’t flirt with my men again. I won’t hesitate to kill them.” I threw one more glance at the corpse. I chuckled, shaking my head and rubbing a thumb over my lip. I couldn’t wait to see how she was going to handle this one. Francesca would go crazy for ruining her decor pillows. “Have fun.”

I walked out, but I barely made it into the hallway when she stepped in front of me. Before I could understand what she was doing, her hands were on my chest, my muscles immediately tensing under her touch.

My pulse hammered when she slid her palms down my body, digging her sharp nails into me through my shirt;so slow. A low rumble of satisfaction escaped my chest. This was the first time she was touching me, not the opposite.

I glanced at her hands on my chest, before refocusing on her face, meeting her gaze.

When one of her hands went to the back of my neck, running her fingers through my short hair and scratching my nape with her long stilettos…Fuck.

It was so intense it knocked the fucking logic out of me. I could feel my eyes burning her skin with every look.

Stepping closer, she wrapped her other hand around my neck too. Warmth enveloped my body, and I honestly couldn’t tell which one of us was burning more.

“Zach…”

Damn.

“Don’t leave me to deal with your mess.”

I scoffed, looking over her head, and attempting to push her away. I honestly didn’t know what I was expecting, yet it bothered me nonetheless.

But she pulled me right back, pressing herself against my abs and regaining my full attention.

Shit… Shewasaddictive.

Dark eyes locked on mine again and I ran my tongue over my teeth, refusing to touch her. Her hands were all over me, yet mine hung by my side.

“If you help me,” She negotiated, “I will go on that date with you.”

“How can I trust anything you say?”

She opened her mouth confidently, yet nothing came out. Slowly, she closed it. “You can’t…”

We stared at each other for several moments, her eyes melting into my own.

With a small shake of my head, a low breath escaped me. “A’ight.”

Throwing my arm around Maria, I slumped down on the sofa, ignoring the daggers she shot at me with her eyes. Instead, I joined Trevor and some other guys’ conversation.

Couple minutes later, Trevor threw a glance at Maria, speaking low enough only for me to hear. “Losing focus, I see.”

He’d been right from the beginning about why I’d been so obsessed with finding her. The fucker was always right.

I shrugged. “At least I went for it.”

His eyes darkened.

We both knew there was something in this very room that he wanted, yet for some unknown reason, refused to take.

I turned my head, watching Maria talk with her friends while she leaned comfortably into my side.

God,what am I going to do with you?
