Dangerous Rock (Dangerous Noise 3)

"But why me?" she asks.

"Why me?"

"You're deflecting."

"Answer anyway."

"You make me laugh."

"Is that all?" I tease.

"No… I like who I am around you. I don't like who I am around my dad. Or my friends at school. I didn't like who I was around Stan. I don't even like who I am when I'm alone. I don't even know who I am when I'm alone. I've been bending myself into the shape that best suits everyone else for so long…"

"I like who you are."

"Can you explain it to me?"

"You bite back. You're smart. Quick. You see through bullshit. You know what it's like to pretend like everything rolls off your back." I run my hand through her hair. "I like that you're wound up. I want to unwind you. I want to get you messy and dirty."

She digs her fingers into my back. Even through my t-shirt, I can feel the heat of her skin. The pressure of her touch.

I wish I had a better explanation. But I don't.

I brush her hair behind her ear and lean in close. My cheek brushes against hers. My free hand goes to her lower back.

I whisper. "There wasn't one reason. It just felt right."

She rubs her cheek against mine as she rises to her tiptoes to whisper in my ear. Her voice is shaky. Uncertain. "Does it still feel right?"

Yeah, but there's not enough blood in my brain for me to be sure which organ is making that decision.

I let my hands slide to her hips. Her ass. Fuck, she feels good. Soft. Warm. Mine.

She needs to be mine.

If not forever, then right now.

But then I'm losing my ability to think about anything but being inside her.

Now.

I pull her closer. She lets out a soft moan as my hard-on brushes her stomach. All these fucking clothes in the way.

I hold her body against mine. "I want to fuck you."

Her lips part with a sigh of pleasure. She sucks breath in through her teeth. "You're evading."

"Yeah."

"Joel…"

Her voice is shaky.

She wants to give in to her desire too.

She wants this as badly as I do.

"I am evading." I pull her dress up her thigh and run my fingertips over her soft skin. "I still want to fuck you."
