Tina gasps, her pretty pink lips parting while her cheeks turn red. I watch her breathing change, her breasts lifting a little higher with each intake of air.
“I’m sorry,” I say, dragging my eyes up to meet hers. “I shouldn’t have said that.”
“It’s OK.” She runs her tongue over her lips then swallows hard. I'm not sure if I’m scaring her or turning her on. “I, um…I liked hearing it.”I’m turning her on.My dick throbs.
I close my eyes as a groan rumbles out of my chest. “Fuck.”
“I’m sorry,” she echoes. “I probably shouldn’t have said that either.”
I drag a hand through my hair as I look around the room. My eyes linger longingly on the bed, the couch, any surface I could take her on, and I have to make myself turn away. “Just stay here,” I grunt. “And lock the door.” I pull the spare key to her room from my pocket and place it next to the original key. “I can’t be trusted with this.”
“But,” she starts as I head for the door.
“Lock me out,” I command, interrupting her. “And don’t let me in again. You and I…we can’t be alone together.”
She gasps again, and I slam the door, sucking in great gulps of air once I’m in the hallway and the door is separating us.
“I still need to get my boxes,” she says from the other side of the door. “And you’re still locked out of your apartment.”
“Shit.” I blow out my breath and try to calm the fuck down. “I’ll get your boxes and leave them in the hall. And don’t worry about me. I’ll get back inside just fine.”
“OK. But do you want me to look for somewhere else to live?”
“No!” I say it too fast. Even though I know I shouldn’t want her, I also know I can’t stand the idea of sending her away.
“Then what do you want me to do? I’m going to have to leave this room at some point.”
“I know. Let’s just…I don’t know, maybe we just stay out of each other’s way. That’ll work, right?”
“You mean, like, check the hallway so we don’t run into each other?”
“Yeah. Stuff like that.”
“OK. But will it go away?”
“Will what go away?”
“Feeling like I might die if you don’t touch me.”
My entire body screams with the same need.How the hell is this happening?It’s like lightning struck, and now I’m on fire.
“It’ll go away,” I lie, knowing it never will. All I can think about is what I want to do to her. Naked. I feel entirely wild and out of control. “It has to.”

“So, how do you like the place?” Kate asks later that night when she calls to check in on me. “It’s a cute room, huh?”
I hit the button to put her on speaker while I finish hanging my clothes in the closet. “It’s gorgeous. I owe you a huge thanks.”
“Anything for my bestie. And my dad was cool too, right? So you can’t be worried about not paying full price anymore.”
“Your dad,” I start, trying to keep my breath calm as the mere idea of Troy heats my skin. That man is liquid fire, and there’s a huge possibility I unpacked my bedside drawer first just so I could use my Womanizer to get a little relief. It’s strange because I’ve never wanted to use it before. It was given to me as a joke present when my friends found out I was still a virgin, and it’s sat in the box like an embarrassing secret since. But today, I couldn’t stop myself, I needed to do something to relieve the aching between my legs. I came four times, but I fear it only made my desire worse, because now all I can do is think about Troy being the one to make my body come like that. I think I’m cursed.
“Oh no, what did he do? Did he say something stupid or insulting? Because I swear, he’s the biggest stick in the mud. I used to call him the fun police because he’s always so worried about doing the right thing and being responsible. I can talk to him for you if he made you feel bad.”
“No!” I blurt. “No. You don’t need to talk to him. I was just—”Really turned on by himbecause he’s crazy hot“—surprised at how young he is.”
“Oh yeah. He was sixteen when I was born. Did I never tell you that? I forget a lot of the time because he acts so much older than he is, and it’s kind of weird to talk about. Mom was his tutor.”
