“How much do you regret it?” I find myself asking, while slowly dragging my fingers down and across his abdomen.
“I lost you because of it.” His voice is pained.
“You never had me.”
His deep chuckle sends a flutter of tingle through my body, from the top of my head all the way down to my toes. “That’s what you think.” He growls low in my ear.
My breath hitches.
Thud.
Thud.
Thud.
And then we’re both moving at the same time.
My eyes flutter closed when Colton crushes his mouth against mine and the world comes to a standstill. His heart thunders under the palms of my hands.
He captures my lips and I gasp into his kiss. His tongue slides inside, tasting me. Licking and sucking on my tongue. He devours my lips like he’s on death row and this is his last meal. The kiss is savage and cruel.
His hand curls around the back of my neck, his fingers dangling into my hair. I teeter on my toes, returning his punishing kiss with a violent one of my own. My nails dig into the muscles of his shoulders, and his body tenses. My teeth graze his lower lip and I bite down. Colton growls a guttural groan in response. “Fuck,” he swears into the kiss.
A needy whimper spills from my lips and he swallows it, drinking in my moans like he’s been thirsting for them all his life. “Riley,” he groans deeply, my name like a fevered prayer on his lips and my pulse quickens.
My sex clenches in response, arousal coating the inside of my thighs. My need seeps out of me like desperate waves of carnal desire.
Colton kisses me like he can’t get enough.
When we part for air, our chests heaving breathlessly, I open my eyes to find Colton already staring down at me.
He cradles my jaw in his hand before lowering his lips to mine again. This time, it’s a whispery kiss. A tender touch, almost like he wants to breathe in the taste of me, to memorize the curves of my lips.
My heart ricochets against my ribs.
“Run,” he begs me in a guttural voice. “You need to go, before I fuck you against this wall. Leave and go back to your apartment. Lock the door behind you.”
Thud.
Thud.
Thud.
“Colton—”
“I can smell the musky scent of your arousal, Riley. And I swear, it’s driving me fucking mad. You need to go right now.” He releases the back of my neck, his hand moving to grip my waist instead. He yanks me to him, hard. Colton shifts his hips, pressing the thick length of his erection against my heated core. My chest rattles with a surprised gasp.“But make no mistake. We will be fucking. Just not today, because when I have you in my bed for the first time, I’m going to take my sweet time with you. And right now, if I take you…it will end up being a hard, quick rut against the wall. You deserve better than that.”
Colton releases his hold on me and he takes a step back, giving me just enough space to escape. There’s a possessive glint in his dark gaze. “Go,” he begs roughly.
With my heart in my throat, I do just that.
Spinning on my heels, I run.
I get inside my apartment and lock the door. My knees weaken and my body slides against the door, until I’m sitting on the ground. My lips are swollen and I can still taste the minty remnants of him.
Oh God, what have we done?
We can’t go back from this; nothing will ever be the same again. His one kiss has completely obliterated the illusion of my hatred for him.
