Dangerous Kiss (Dangerous Noise 1)

"Rumor's true," Ethan says.

Athena blushes.

Ah, at least she's suffering embarrassment too.

"Damn." She winks at me then looks at Ethan. "Drummers are the hottest."

He laughs. "Are they?"

"Oh yeah. But guitarists aren't bad either. And Violet speaks very highly of your skill with your hands," she says.

Ethan looks to me and smiles.

I'm blushing so hard my entire body is burning.

She pulls him into a close hug and whispers something I can't hear. He whispers back.

Athena nods goodbye as she steps out the door. "Be good or be discreet!"

"You too."

The door slams shut behind her. It's one of those doors that always slams.

Ethan gives me a long once over. "We have a few hours."

"We do."

"You want to eat first?"

"No."

He smiles. "Me either."

Chapter 33

Ethan

The tiny bedroom is pure Violet. Black bedspread and sheets, glittery rose decals on the walls, stacks of sci-fi DVDs piled high on her dresser.

Four math posters hang over her desk. One has a triangle with a hippo lying on the hypotenuse. Another has a pi symbol telling the square root of negative one to get real. Honestly, I'd have no idea what it meant if didn't own a t-shirt with the same design.

She catches me looking at her posters and blushes. "I'm still a math geek."

"I love that you're a math geek." I love that she has a place where she can be herself.

I love that she's inviting me into it.

It's difficult to resist pinning her to the wall immediately. I do it for long enough Violet can explain the jokes on her other math posters and show off her sci-fi collection.

I unbutton her coat and slide it over her shoulders. She does the same to me. Her lips find mine.

I kiss her with every ounce of hunger in my body. Being in her room is making me dizzy. It's a good dizzy. A this is intimate enough to last forever dizzy.

She digs her fingers into my hair as she moans into my mouth. Violet has always been a hell of a kisser, but she's more passionate now. She's giving more of herself.

I scoop her into my arms and lay her on the bed. Her groans vibrate down my throat. She rocks her hips against mine.
