“No, I’m right. And the thing is, I couldn’t even be happy I won because I was worried about you. I wanted you to win, Baylor, but I knew if I let you, you’d skin me alive.”
Looking away, she shakes her head. “Just go away.”
“No. Stop pushing me away.”
“No, I can’t, Just go!” she yells, and I shake my head.
“Look at me,” I say, but she doesn’t. I fully expect her to move away when I take another step toward her, closing the distance between us, but she doesn’t. She stands there, sucking in breath after breath, and it’s honestly killing me. Taking my chances, I lift her chin with my index finger until her eyes meet mine. They are full of anger, remorse, and lust.
They are downright sinful.
“I can’t go away, Baylor,” I whisper. “I’ve tried. I can’t.”
Her eyes are wide, locked with mine, and she looks just so damn beautiful. “Please.”
“Please, what?” I ask, my brows coming together.
“Please, just go away.”
“Do you really want that?”
She doesn’t answer for a long time. My eyes are searching hers for any sign that she wants me. I can see it, but I need to hear her say it.
But then she whispers, “Yes, you freak me the fuck out.”
I smile; she’s so cute when she’s vulnerable.
“Good, because you freak me out too,” I whisper back.
Then I take another chance.
I drop my mouth to hers.
And I pray she doesn’t punch me in the dick.
I saw it coming, I did, but in my twisted fucked-up brain, I didn’t believe that he’d do it.
And now, his lips are moving with mine.
And I’m kissing him back.
I have to.
Oh sweet God above.
Stop him.
No, don’t stop him.
Yes…please, don’t stop him.
Closing my eyes tightly, I thread my fingers into his hair as my back comes against the wall. He tastes like mouthwash, his body hard against mine as he devours my mouth in a way only he can. His lips are soft, inviting, and man, I can’t stop. He smells so fucking good, and oh my God, I need him. As our mouths move
together in a hot and dirty embrace, my heart beats wildly against his. I’ve waited for this, wanted this, but I wouldn’t let myself have it.
I’ve tried so hard to resist him, but resistance is the last thing on my mind now.
Need is more like it.
