I let out a short exhale as pleasure pumped through me in delicious waves. It was attraction like nothing I'd ever experienced. It was heady, and I wanted more of it.
"Because you thought I was someone else." I reached out and touched the side of his face, loving so much the way he felt pressed against me. I wanted to offer up control, to give him exclusive rights to any part of me that he wanted access to.
He moved back up, balancing himself with one hand pressed to the ground beside my head. "What do you mean? I know who you are."
"You do now, but at first you thought I was just like my family, like my parents. I'm not anything like them." I ran my thumb over his bottom lip, only to have him suck it deep into his mouth. His tongue flicked around it as he sucked it in deeper. Every part of me came alive.
"Take me back to my room. Now." I pulled my thumb from him mouth and tried to stop myself from panting, but I couldn’t seem to help it.
"Alright, baby." He kissed me once again before helping me to my feet. "Pack up the food, and we'll go back. You can sneak me in, right?"
"Yeah." I stood up with his help and started to gather everything up. Some part of me wanted to make it through one damn date without something interrupting it, but nothing was more important than getting the sexy guy beside me naked and taking full advantage of the heat between us.
I'd never wanted anyone so badly.
I prayed like hell that he felt the same.
Chapter 20
Val
The drive back to campus felt like it took damn near forever. I was a nervous wreck by the time we parked the truck and Tate turned it off.
He glanced over at me and reached for my hand. "You still alright with me coming up?"
"Yeah, I want you to." I gave him a cocky smile that I didn't feel at all before getting out of the truck and pulling my coat closer. "I texted Katelyn on the way back and she's staying with Martin, so we're good there."
"I feel like a teenager again." He moved up beside me and reached for my hand again. I was almost too comfortable being beside him, letting him touch me however he wanted to.
"Well, don't act like one." I opened the door to the house and poked my head in, listening for voices. A couple of girls were in the kitchen, but the living room was empty. "We're good. Just stay close."
"I can do that." He pinched my butt and caused me to yelp.
I jerked around and narrowed my eyes at him. "Keep it up, and you'll go home with blue balls."
"No such thing. You're so naive." He moved past me into the house and took the stairs two at a time.
I rushed to keep up with him as excitement overtook the worry inside of me. He was so fucking hot – way more my kind of guy than Paul could ever dream of being.
"Which room?" He glanced back at me.
"Last one on the left. Hurry up." I popped his butt and jogged after him as he opened the door and slipped into my room.
I moved in behind him and turned, closing the door and locking it. I pressed my forehead against it and let out a shaky laugh. "We should have gone back to your place."
"Naw, this is better." He moved up behind me and wrapped his arms around me, pressing himself to my back. "There's more priv
acy here."
One strong hand moved up to squeeze my breast as the other slid down into my pants just over my panties. His fingers tugged at my sex before tapping lightly. His voice was low and thick with lust.
"Besides, with those laughing girls downstairs, no one will hear you scream my name, right?" He opened his mouth and pressed it to the side of my neck just under my ear, pushing his teeth against me.
I groaned and pressed my hands to the door, pushing back against him, undulating my hips. My nipples budded tightly under his teasing, and my skin became incredibly sensitive to his touch.
"I don't care what they hear." I slid my hand into my jeans and refocused his efforts inside of my panties. A cry left me as his cold fingers spread me open and played with the sticky wet entrance of my body.
"So fucking hot, Val. I love how turned on you are." He pressed his finger deep inside of me as his cock wedged between the curves of my ass.
