CHAPTER TWELVE
MARINA
“IN YOUR ROOM”
I can’t believeI said that.
Prove it.
Laz’s mouth twists into a smile. He bites his lip for a moment, studying me.
Then kisses me.
“I’m taking you to my room,” he says against my mouth.
My eyes widen.
It’s fine.
I’mFine.
I can do this.
Oh my god.
I nod. “Okay.”
His smile widens. Cunning. Beautiful. I don’t care that he’s looking at me like he’s going to eat me alive. I want him to eat me alive.
Oh god.
Did I even shave?
He grabs my hand and leads me out of the bar.
The humid air hits us in the face the minute we step out onto the street. Everything in this moment feelsmore alive than normal, like all my senses are heightened in anticipation of what’s about to happen.
I’m squeezing Laz’s hand so tight, like I might get swept away down the street by an errant breeze, even though the hotel is literally next door. There’s just been too many opportunities that have been ruined by fate so far, I’m not chancing it.
“Should we have told Jane and Naomi?” I ask him as we walk through the lobby.
“None of their business,” he says, nodding at the front desk as we pass them.
He’s right. Even though I do have Jane’s condom in my purse. I hope he has a bunch because it would be too weird to use this one. He’d probably wonder why I have a condom to begin with and then I’d have to explain his stepsister gave it to me because she anticipated he’d fuck my brains out tonight.
Oh my god. He’s going to fuck my brains out.
I feel like I need to remind him again that I’m a virgin and this is my first time and I don’t know how much I’ll be able to take, if I’ll be any good, if…
But the moment the elevator doors open and he hustles me inside, he’s attacking me. Hands, lips, teeth, tongue. I’m pressed back against the mirror and his fingers wrap around the small of my waist, hoisting me up high. My legs go around his ass and I’m ready to fucking lose it, lose everything right here.
Then the elevator beeps, the door opens.
It’s the 8thfloor.
His floor.
We smile at each other, both aware of this moment, that anyone could have been standing there, and he lowers me down to the ground like I’m just a feather.
