I just think about him all the time and have formed a crush that is so uber, it’s practically all-consuming. A crush I’ve been trying to deny myself because I don’t want to make another mistake.

But it’s Liam.

How could he possibly be a mistake?

I know he wants me—he told me so this morning when we were checking out my en suite bathroom. His teeth lightly scraping my neck still sends a shiver through me. My body took ages to stop tingling.

I want more.

I want him.

Bubbles of anticipation pop in my stomach as we walk into the suite. With Mikayla still on his back, Ethan spins to face us. “Merry Christmas Eve, bitches.”

Liam laughs. “You, too, man.”

“I’m gonna go do dirty things to my woman.”

“You have fun with that.”

Mikayla giggles, sucking Ethan’s neck and shouting, “Oh, we will,” just before he swings the door shut.

Liam and I stand there in awkward silence for a moment, looking at everything but each other. I so desperately want to make a move, but I’m terrified. What if I lunge at him the way I want to and he gives me a polite rejection?

He wants you! He made that abundantly clear this morning.

But he’s not making a move right now, is he?

A squeal followed by raucous laughter floats out of the master bedroom.

I glance at Liam, letting out a nervous chuckle when our eyes connect… and then everything goes still between us. He’s staring at me, his swallow thick and audible. My lips part like I want to say something to entice him, but I’ve got nothing.

Two thick beats seem to pulse through the air… and then a switch suddenly flips.

We’re rushing at each other, our bodies colliding just before our tongues meet in a deep, heady kiss.

Liam’s hands weave around my body, pressing me flush against him while my gut screams, “Yes! Yes! Yes!”

“I want you,” I manage to whisper between kisses. “I want you now.”

“Yeah?” His eyes search my face like he needs to be sure I’m not just saying this for his sake.

My head bobs repeatedly, and a wolfish grin skitters across his lips as he sweeps me off the floor and hurries into my room, flicking the door shut with his foot before placing me on the bed.

CHAPTER 20

LIAM

Rachel fists my jacket and pulls me down on top of her. I only manage to catch myself on my elbows before squashing her. She’s hungry for it. Her fervent kisses are a dead giveaway, and oh do I want to sink into her hot oasis.

But when she starts tugging at her dress and pulling it up over her hips, acting like we’re gonna hit a homer fully clothed, I have to pull back.

We’re both out of breath, our desperate kisses making it impossible not to be, so it takes me a second to find my voice.

“We don’t have to go so fast.” I run my finger across her hairline.

She frowns. “What do you mean? Do you not want to…?”

“Of course I do.” I grin. “But I don’t want it to be this rushed thing that’s over like an explosion.” I brush my nose against her cheek. “I want to take my time with you.” Nibbling along her jawline, I lightly suck the spot just below her ear and enjoy the sweet exhale that kisses the side of my head. “I want to pleasure you, sweet Ray. I want to make you come and come some more.”
