“You’re trying to make me change how I feel.” I gripped her shoulders. “Baby, I’m here to tell you it doesn’t work that way. I want you no matter what.” I tilted my head and smirked. “Especially like this. I can help loosen you up…”
“Shh,” she hissed. “What if Lucy hears you?”
“Nothing’s changed. This has been happening for a while now, you and I.”
“You need to go.”
“Okay,” I mumbled, removing my hands. Before I left, I said, “I’m scared, too, Hadley, but not the way you think. My fear comes from your not giving me a chance before we even begin.”
Hadley would never understand how she twisted me into knots. Could she honestly say that she didn’t want to try with me? Normally, I never doubted myself, but she had me all kinds of fucked-up.
At least Lucy was disappointed that I was leaving.
For the rest of the evening, I sat around and thought about what I should do and decided maybe the best course of action was to take a step back and let Hadley have her way. Of course I wanted my hands on her. I wasn’t even going to pretend that I didn’t want to flirt with Hadley. The one mind-blowing time with her the other night was making my chest hurt thinking I’d never get to be that way with her again.
Man, I was depressed.
She kicked me out. Well, not technically but she still didn’t want me there, and that messed with my head. Would she even come around to the idea of us or was that my new reality? Did sleeping with her really terrify her that much? Or did she regret it and that was why she was so uncomfortable?
Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!
Honest to God I couldn’t breathe. The air didn’t return to my lungs until the mom who tore my life to hell sent me a text around eleven that same night.
Hadley: You asleep?
Two words but my stomach churned in fear. Would that be the end for me?
Elijah: No. Is everything okay?
Hadley: Lucy and Eli are asleep…
Holy shit! Was she suggesting…? Heat crawled up my neck, and my cock twitched.
What was I thinking? Hadley made me leave earlier. Why the late night fuck text? I should be fucking pissed and demand she let me take her out on a date. I wasn’t a booty call. She needed to know this shit between us was the real deal. She wasn’t getting away from me.
Hadley: Come up, if you want.
Who was I fucking kidding? I barreled through my hallway, stumbled over some random shit on the floor, slipped on my boots, and headed out the door. She didn’t regret what we did. She wanted to do it again.
I couldn’t wait to smack that ass for scaring the fuck out of me.
Before I could knock, she opened the door like she was waiting on me. Her small hand fisted my shirt and yanked me through the doorway. Hadley closed the door behind me as she stood on her tiptoes and urged my lips to meet hers.Hadley’s small petite frame pressed me up against the door, her tongue in search of mine as she gripped a chunk of my hair like a crazy woman.
She had liquid fire pumping through my veins. No, she was in my veins. The woman was all through me, embedded so deeply I knew there wasn’t a thing I wouldn’t do for her. Just to have her in my life… For me to be hers… To wake up with her in my arms every day.
I didn’t doubt that the pink grandma gown she wore was so that I had easier access to her. The giant thing was hot as fuck on her. I pulled away from her mouth for a second just to see her in it. I took in her ocean-blue eyes, fueled by lust, in the darkened kitchen. Then I let her resume pawing at my chest as I slipped my hand up her gown and gripped an ass cheek. She gasped and my tongue dove into her open mouth.
“Hold up a second,” I groaned as I patted her ass a few times in hopes she’d stop stealing my soul with her kisses. She didn’t listen. She didn’t even respond. I had to grab her shoulders and pull her away from me. “We need to talk.”
Her eyes were glassy and cheeks were flushed as she gazed up at me. “Why?”
“Are you done being a sour puss?” I asked her.
She rolled her eyes and sighed. “Elijah…”
“You’ve been a little shit all day.”
“I have not,” she tried to say, but I shut her up quickly.
