“Study? I didn’t think you knew how,” he snarked.
I flipped him the bird just as the doors closed, grinning when he cackled merrily. I shifted sideways in the compact space, accidentally bumping into a bored-looking hipster. I smiled an apology and inched away. Thankfully, she exited at the next stop with the rest of the passengers, leaving Ned and me alone.
“Where are we going?” I asked in a raspy voice.
“You’ll see,” he said as the car screeched to a halt a moment later.
The doors opened onto a semi-dark floor that looked like the storage unit for old library furniture. Dented steel desks were stacked on top of each other, and uncomfortable chairs were corralled against a wall of bookshelves laden with marked boxes. The flickering fluorescent lights, low ceilings, and an eerie sense of quiet permeated the space. No joke, it was kinda spooky. If someone said there’d been a murder in the library, this was where the detectives would look for bodies. Yet when Ned motioned for me to follow him, I did.
I heard voices in the distance as he headed down a row of floor-to-ceiling bookshelves. He rounded a sharp corner, then stopped abruptly and threw himself at me. I stumbled but righted my balance before I hit the metal edge of the shelf behind me. I wrapped my arms around Ned and sealed my mouth over his. I had no idea what he had planned, but I had to taste him. After almost a week of nothing but a few stolen kisses, I was hungry for him.
I pushed my tongue between his parted lips and plunged inside, twisting, probing, sucking as I ran my hands along his sides. Ned whimpered when I clutched his ass and rocked my hips rhythmically against his. He broke the kiss to nip at my jaw and yank my T-shirt from my jeans. I hissed at the feel of his cool fingers splayed on my lower back, then shivered when he cupped my neck with his free hand and crashed into me with a wicked kiss.
Fuck, I was on fire. No, he was on fire. Sparks flew as we bumped and grinded, feasting on each other like a couple of vampires. Ned sucked my bottom lip hard enough that I was sure I’d look like I was wearing lipliner later. I didn’t care, and he knew it. In fact, he seemed curiously confident as he raked his fingers through my hair and gyrated in a manic quest for friction.
“Slow down, baby. You’re getting me too hot. It’s quiet here, but we’re still in public,” I whispered, licking the shell of his ear.
Ned trembled like a leaf as he fumbled with my belt. “We can do anything we want. No one comes here.”
I stilled his hands. “How do you know?”
“I worked here last year. This used to be the bindery department. One of the archive librarians has an office on the other side of the building now. The only people who come to this side are the cleaning staff, and they don’t come often. Do you trust me?”
“Yeah, but—”
Ned kissed me roughly and swatted my hands away like a boss. Or like a strict librarian.
“Let me do something I’ve been dying to do all week. Please.” He licked my jaw as he undid my jeans. Then he slipped his fingers under the elastic of my boxer briefs and gripped my aching dick. “Wow. You’re big.”
“Holy fuck,” I croaked. “What are you—”
“Shh. I’m going to suck your cock. Is that okay?” He pulled back slightly and looked up at me expectantly, as if he’d just asked what I wanted for dinner.
“More than okay. I want you so bad, I’m shaking.” I held out my hand to show him the tremor running through me.
Ned flashed a mischievous grin. “Hold on to the shelf if you feel shaky. Or pull my hair. I won’t mind.”
I blinked in surprise, but I didn’t have a chance to argue or marvel that my sexy geek had a naughty streak, ’cause he was on his knees in a flash. He tugged my jeans over my ass with enough force that my cock smacked my lower abdomen. Ned wrapped his fingers around the base and stroked me a few times before circling his tongue around the tip.
Damn, he was a wicked tease. I grabbed a fistful of his hair but immediately let go. Calm down. Don’t go caveman on him yet. I tried to be good, but it wasn’t easy when Ned hummed and repeated that slow, circular action, flattening his tongue and licking my slit. He took me deep into his throat and swallowed. Then he pulled off my cock and looked up at me with sexy, swollen lips and tousled hair. I rocked my hips forward, touching my dick to his lips in a wordless request for more.
