Page 176 of The Beginning Of Us

It’s been more than two years now. Sure, I’ve touched myself countless times, but it’s nothing compared to the real thing. Sweaty bodies tangled together, the grunts of pleasure, the obscene sounds of fucking…

It doesn’t equate to self-pleasure.

I crave physical intimacy as much as I need emotional intimacy. I guess that’s why one-night stands don’t work for me. While I get the physical aspects of it, it lacks the emotional connection that I desperately need.

Colton stalks toward me and I take an instinctive step back. He doesn’t allow me to get too far though. He steps forward, his much bigger body crowding into my personal space.

Until my back is pressed against the wall and there’s less than an inch of space separating us. My hands land on his bare chest, and we’re skin to skin. Colton leans his forearm against the wall, above my head. Caging me between the wall and his body.

Thud.

Thud.

Thud.

“Are you going to kiss me?” I question breathlessly. Because if he does, I know I won’t push him away. Not today.

This has been building between us for months now. The sexual tension I had tried so hard to ignore, but I can’t seem to do that right now. His intoxicating scent and warmth surround me. Every particle in me feels greedy for this moment.

“There’s a problem. If I kiss you, I won’t be able to stop,” Colton rasps, his warm breath fanning over my lips.

I move my fingers over his pectoral muscles, softly...teasingly. His body tenses and his bare chest rattles with a sharp inhale when my knuckle brushes over his nipple. It’s by accident, but his reaction has me suddenly feeling quite bold. “And what if I kiss you?”

Thud.

Thud.

Thud.

Our eyes lock, and I slowly rub my thumb over his nipple, feeling it tighten under my touch. His throat bobs with a hard swallow, and he releases a shuddering breath.

This man is…beautiful. In a rugged, masculine way.

Be still my beating heart.

I know I’m playing with fire.

And I’m about to get burned.

But I can’t stop.

“You won’t be able to stop either.” Colton grins cockily.

“I think I have better self-control than you,” I whisper. His eyes are dark with lust and my thighs grow slick with arousal.

His arm snakes out, circling around my hips and tugging me into his body. All his hardness against my softness. God, he’s so warm. “Let’s test that theory then.”

My pulse quickens at his deep, slightly husky voice.

“Is this a bet?”

His features darken dangerously. “I’ll never bet on you.”

“I was a game to you, though.” My nails dig into his chest, leaving tiny imprints on his flesh. Colton grunts in response, but it’s not a sound of pain. Quite the opposite actually.

His lips brush over the corner of my lips, not really a kiss. It’s more like a tender touch, a tease to remind me of what’s coming. “A mistake I made and still deeply regret,” he admits, with a slight shake in his gravelly, lustful tone.

My heart slams hard against my rib cage and I wonder if he can feel it.
