Coldhearted Heir (The Heirs 1) - Page 62

When I have her seated in the passenger side, I reach for the seat belt and pull it around her. Once I have the belt clicked into place, I pull back and look at her. Her flushed cheeks have me leaning in and pressing another quick kiss to her mouth.

Silence fills the car on the drive back to the campus. I park the vehicle and climb out. Rushing around the front, I go to open the passenger door. When Jade gets out, I take hold of her hand and walk into our dorm.

When we step into the elevator, Jade glances up at me. “Just so I don’t misunderstand things, what just happened?”

“We happened,” I murmur, my voice still hoarse from the intensity between us.

“We happened?” she asks, confusion flitting over her features.

Not wanting to scare her off, I bite my declaration of love back. It might be too soon for Jade to hear. She needs time to get used to the idea of us as a couple.

Us.

A couple.

A smile begins to play over my face. “Yeah, we,” I say as the doors slide open. I take hold of Jade’s hand again and walk to our suite. Using my free hand, I swipe the keycard through the lock, and once we’re inside and the door is closed behind us, I turn to face Jade and spell things out for her, “You and me. It’s happening, Jade.”Chapter 21JADEHunter wraps his arms around me and pulls me against his solid chest.

Hollllleeeeyyyyyy shit.

I can’t believe what’s happening right now. Hunter just kissed me like I’ve never been kissed before. My heart’s a happy mess, but worry still blurs the edges of what could be my happily-ever-after.

“Are you sure?” I ask, concerned that he might just be reacting to residual emotions he has left from all our fights.

Turning his head, he presses a kiss to the crook of my neck. My eyes drift shut from the amazing tingles, caused by Hunter’s lips on my skin.

“Yes,” he breathes, his word fanning hot air onto my neck and sending a wave of goosebumps rushing over my body. “Are you sure?”

Am I?

I’m not sure if this is the best thing for us, but I’m certain it’s what I want.

“I’m scared it will affect our friendship,” I admit. I’ve screwed up so much where Hunter is concerned, that I don’t want to risk losing him.

Hunter tilts his head and giving me a reassuring smile, he says, “Jade, if we could survive the last two years, we can survive anything.”

I never thought of it that way. I’ve put us through hell, and Hunter never backed off. He stayed by my side every step of the way.

A relieved grin spreads over my face. “You’re right.”

His eyes soften as he stares at me for a while, then he whispers, “I want to kiss you.”

Anticipation rushes down my spine. “Nothing stopped you before,” I tease.

“Yeah,” he gives me a sexy grin that has my stomach doing Olympic-worthy cartwheels. “Can I kiss you, Jade?”

I nod, my tongue darting out to wet my lips as the anticipation keeps growing.

Pushing against my body with his, Hunter steers me toward the living room. He sits down and taking hold of my hips, he tugs me forward. I climb onto his lap, resting a leg on either side of his lower body.

Hunter lifts his hands to my face and framing my cheeks, he pulls me toward him. “You’re so fucking beautiful,” he murmurs. One of his hands slides up behind me, and he wraps his fingers around the back of my neck.

Staring into his blue eyes, I’m caught in their depths. I’m highly aware of the feel of his body against mine, and a cloud of desire begins to drift over me.

“Can’t you feel it too?” he asks, his eyes hooded on me.

“Damn, it’s all I can feel. Kiss me already!” I wrap my arms around his neck, and not wanting to wait for another second, I fuse my mouth to his.

A deep groan escapes from Hunter’s mouth as his lips begin to war with mine for control of the kiss. It’s a new war — One I’ll gladly lose for Hunter.

Sparks zap between us until the air feels electric. Heat sizzles through me, making anticipation and want whirl in my abdomen for this man.

My brain grows fuzzy, and my limbs heavy as Hunter continues to stroke the inside of my mouth with his skilled tongue. I love the taste of him and can easily become addicted.

When I need air, I break the kiss, but I don’t pull away. Our breaths rush into each other, and our eyes lock.

I’m just about to kiss him again when the door opens.

“Fuck,” Jase exclaims when he spots me on Hunter’s lap. “Ookkaaayyy…” He tilts his head and frowns. “I’ve had way too much to drink to deal with this right now.”
