Tempting (Inked Hearts 1)

"And you were perfect, and sweet, and you didn't even blink at Mom dropping all those hints about how it would be okay if I moved out." Her brow furrows the way it does when she's making a decision. Then she shakes her head. "Less talk, more sex."

I'm not arguing with that.

I pull our room key from the pocket of my slacks, slide my arm around her waist, and lead her through the lobby. It's a nice hotel, but I can't say I notice anything about the decor.

The only thing I see is Violet—

The need in her green eyes.

The flush spreading over her cheeks and chest.

The way her tight purple dress— the exact shade of her graduation robe—hugs her curves.

The elevator doors open.

I whisk her inside and pin her to the wall. I don't even check to make sure we're alone.

My tongue claims her mouth. My hand slides under her skirt and over the curve of her ass.

Violet groans, shifting her hips against mine.

Nobody is coughing or telling us to get the fuck off each other. We must be alone.

Either way—

I pull her closer as she grinds against me. Fuck, the friction is divine. My cock is screaming to be inside her.

Not yet.

Not until she's begging me for it.

The elevator dings and she pulls back.

We are alone in here.

Violet lets out a needy sigh. "Ethan…" Her expression is a plea.

She is begging.

But I have to get to the fucking hotel room before I give her what we both want.

It's hard to walk with the way my cock is turning my slacks into a tent. I manage to do it long enough to whisk Violet inside our room.

Again, I pin her to the wall. I don't even look at the room. I've already got my eyes closed and my lips glued to hers.

Violet's moans vibrate against my cheeks and chest. She spreads her legs then hooks one around my hips. Her back arches. Her lips part.

I lost her once.

Almost did it a second time.

Right now, there isn't a doubt in my mind. Violet is mine.

Fuck, I'm the luckiest guy in the universe.

Violet tugs at the knot of my tie. She pulls back with a heavy sigh. "How the fuck does this work?"

"Your dad tied this for me."
