“Don’t kiss me again.” Something that looked like fear flickered in her eyes.
“Why?”
“I’m too tired to play games.”
“Then just lie down and I’ll do all the work.”
She smiled. “You want me to lie down so you can kiss me?”
I looked over her luscious body, feeling my cock now bursting to break free. “That’s not the only thing I want to do to you.”
I loved the rose color that tinted her cheeks, and the daring look in her eyes. “What do you want to do to me?”
Jesus, she’d just taken me over the edge. “Angry fucking.”
Her breath hitched and her eyes widened. “Why does it have to be angry?”
I searched her eyes. “It’s the best kind, and fitting for us.”
“Why’s that?”
“Hard-on for eleven years. Your mom’s still in my bad books.” The past. It would always sneak up on me. Even when I wasn’t directly thinking about it, it was there like a fucking ghost haunting me. “I’m furious. Just imagine it, Phoebe, you and me. We’d have a lot of making up to do.” Yes, I’d lost my fucking mind and I couldn’t remember why I hadn’t taken her and bent her over that desk already.
“No.” She held my gaze.
The word. That word.No.It caught my attention, pulling me from that lust-filled fog that hazed over my mind. She’d never said no to me before. Not ever. Not when she definitely should have and not when I knew she’d get slack for it.
“What?”
“No.”
“Why not?”
She stepped closer, reached out and ran her fingers over the metal of my tags, brushing the tips of her fingers against my chest.
“It’s complicated.” She sighed, but it was the way she said it that gripped me. With a soft sexy pout she knew would turned me on.
But again she was right. It was complicated. It was complicated last night and still continued to be complicated.
Fuck. I closed my eyes and sighed.
Candace.
This whole business of me deciding on giving her a second chance was…
Well it was clear I couldn’t do it.
Complicated. No. It wasn’t complicated at all. It was clear.
I knew who I wanted. I knew who Istillwanted, and it wasn’t Candace.
It was Phoebe. I bit the inside of my lips.
Phoebe, the damn minx. She slipped out of my reach and had the audacity to look me up and down before she walked away.
