Heat pools between my legs. I want him. Every inch of him. Every way I can have him.

I want the sight, the sound, the taste, the smell, the feel of him.

A tank top. Panties. Sleep shorts.

That's it.

I'm barely wearing anything.

And he's there, barely wearing anything, thinking about me naked.

About to go on a fucking date.

I move back into the hallway. Nearly run downstairs.

A few moments later, Brendon walks through the main room. He grabs his keys from the table and slides them into the front pocket of his skinny jeans.

"Text me when you go to bed." He looks to Emma. "Or if you need anything."

On the way to his date.

With some girl.

Some girl who isn't me.
