Taken Hard (The Hard Boys 2)

“No, I … I need to go home. I don’t know what is happening here, Caleb. I thought we were both on the same page, but clearly, we’re not, and I need to go figure some things out.” She pushed her hair out of her face and dressed quickly.

He tried to pull on his jeans, but she was already out of the door.

“Lilly, come on,” he said.

“I’ll talk to you tomorrow or something.”

He watched her leave, pretty much running as far as she could get away from him. Slamming his hand against the door, he knew he’d fucked up, big time. This wasn’t what he wanted to do.

Lilly was everything.

This should have been easy for him.

Running fingers through his hair, he gritted his teeth.

He grabbed his cell phone and called Aunt Betty, making sure Lilly had arrived safely. He was still on the phone when she did. He wanted to talk to her, but Lilly claimed to be tired.

In the end, he hung up and promised himself he’d make it up to her somehow. The truth was, he didn’t even know what he’d done wrong.

Chapter Eight

Lilly was putting more books in the stacks when Caleb came to visit her at the library. She was in a rarely used section and she was having to dust off the books and arrange them properly.

“Hey,” Caleb said.

She glanced behind her to look at him. “Hey.” She felt empty. It was a strange feeling. Last night when he’d touched her, she’d been on cloud nine. She craved his touch so much that she felt like she was becoming addicted.

When he refused to let her touch him, well, it had hurt a part of her. It was like he didn’t think she was good enough to trust with his body, and that bothered her.

“What are you doing here?”

“I came to see you. I stopped by and talked to Aunt Betty. She said you didn’t talk to her about what happened.”

“It’s private. Besides, I don’t need more people to know that my boyfriend can’t stand to have me touch him.”

She tensed up as he closed the distance between them. He put his hands on either side of her head, trapping her between the stack and his hard body. Much to her annoyance, she found his display arousing. Caleb wouldn’t hurt her. She trusted him.

“You’re wrong, Lilly.”

“Really? Then tell me where I’m wrong. Tell me what part about last night I was wrong about, because you couldn’t stand for me to touch you.”

He pressed his face against her neck. “You think I don’t want you?” His pelvis thrust against her ass. His cock was hard. “You make me so hard all the time. Lilly, I want to be gentle with you. You’re a virgin.”

She growled and spun around. “Stop it. Stop using it as some kind of magical weapon for you to get what you want. You have no right. Yes, I’m a virgin, but that shouldn’t matter.” She glared at him, tired of him using that word. “You think I want to stay a virgin forever? You’ve read the books I write. I want to feel passion, Caleb. I want to be fucked.”

Caleb slammed his lips down on hers, silencing her as he plunged his tongue into her mouth. He took her hands within his own, trapping them against the shelves as his body rubbed against hers.

He pulled her hands above her head, keeping them locked in place as with his other hand, he began to stroke her tits. He broke the kiss and trailed his lips to her neck. “You think I don’t want to fuck you, Lilly? You think last night after I made you come, I didn’t want to bend you over the sofa, spread your ass, and fuck your cunt raw?” He spun her around, cushioning her face with his hand, holding her close to him. “There are a lot of dirty things I want to do to you. I want to make love to you, get you used to feeling my cock, and then I want to show you how I really fuck. I want to get you dirty. Fill your cunt with my cum. I even want to finish off on your tits.” He groaned. “I want everything. I’m a greedy bastard, Lilly.”

She took a breath. Her body pulsed with a fresh wave of arousal. She couldn’t stop the feelings flooding her body.

“Then why don’t you?” she asked.

“Because I want you to beg me for it.”

Lilly tilted her head back. “Then how about lunchtime, we go back to your place and you put your dick where your mouth has been.”

His nostrils flared and his tongue came out to dance across her ear. “I’ll pick you up.”

He let her go after kissing her hard. She watched him leave, her heart racing, anticipation filling her.
