I THOUGHT I knew who this man was.
Thought I knew what I was getting myself into.
I might have thought wrong.
Andrew suddenly seemed much larger than I realized.
More intense.
More intimidating.
I hadn’t been intimidated by a man I wanted to date in…
Ever.
And it turned out I liked being intimidated.
“I’m not a problem.” I tried to push away from the wall, looking for a little friction to appease the heat crawling through me. “You’re the problem.”
Andrew shook his head at me, slowly moving it from side to side as his eyes held mine. “You’re definitely the problem.” He inched closer, teasing me with his nearness. “And honestly, I’m not sure what in the hell to do with you.”
I could help with that. I had a whole list of all the things he could do to me, and it was running through my mind on repeat.
His hand came to my stomach, palm flattening, keeping me against the wall as he eased in a little more. “I think you’re tired and overwhelmed and it’s making you delirious.”
“I’m not delirious.” I was tired, but I was most definitely still in my right mind. Maybe the rightest my mind had been in forever.
Because tonight I’d done things I should have done a long damn time ago.
“You’ve had a rough night.” His fingers skimmed across my belly, teasing the bit of skin peeking out between my shirt and shorts.
Hisshirt and my shorts.
“What does that have to do with anything?”
“You’re looking for a distraction.” His touch was warm as it crept up, dipping under the shirt he’d given me earlier in the night.
A moment that now felt like it was forever ago.
“If I wanted a distraction I’d be with Julia getting wasted.” It wasn’t entirely true.
Julia was probably passed out in bed, snuggled up next to Grant.
I wanted to be snuggled up in bed next to a man too.
Specifically, the man who currently had his hand under my shirt.
His shirt.
I held my breath as the scrape of Andrew’s calloused touch moved higher, teasing along the underside of my breast.
I wanted him to touch me.
Wanted him to do more than touch me.
And I wanted to do ungodly things to him.
