I looked at the screen where Lark was still laughing. Watching her laugh at another man’s joke made a sick feeling slosh around in my stomach.
It wasn’t just that Bryce was normal. As normal as anyone in this life could be. He was handsome. Intelligent. Fit. The ideal man according to the popular standard.
And he was flirting with my girl.
* * *
Lark jumped as the door bounced off the wall. But I didn’t have it in me to care. My eyes were focused on the guy sitting across the kitchen island from her. The drive over here had been excruciating.
I couldn’t watch the cameras while I drove. I’d broken about a hundred laws trying to get to her. It was bad enough spending the day away, but knowing Bryce was here made me insane.
“Get out.” My jaw clenched as he smirked at me.
“You got it, boss.” He hopped off the stool, tipping his head at Lark. “Ms. Liddell.”
A growl vibrated in my chest, but it was the only sign that I hated him for addressing her. I didn’t yell at him like I had Brad. At least he’d shown us respect by using her last name.
Lark smiled as Bryce walked past me and out the door. The sound of the lock clicking in place and having her in front of me settled some of the restlessness in my veins.
I crossed the room in two steps, gathering her in my arms. Her vanilla scent hit my nose. Her soft skin connected with mine and the rest of my anxiety disappeared. She was the most peace I’d ever found.
“Are you jealous?” I could hear the amusement in her voice.
My fingers threaded in her hair as I held her head to my chest. “Yes.”
“Why?” She pulled back enough to look up at me. My eyes traced over her freckles before cataloguing the different shades of brown that made up her irises.
“He’s attractive.”
Her lips twitched into a smile. I wanted to slam our mouths together, swallow the sweetness on her tongue. “So are you.”
“He’s nice and normal.” It hadn’t crossed my mind to lie to her. I suppose hiding my insecurities might be a better tactic. But I didn’t know how to hide from her. I didn’t want to.
“Normal is overrated. I like crazy.” I wasn’t sure I believed her, but then she pressed her curves into my body. Her soft breasts smashed into my chest, sending heat straight through me. My fingers flexed. Tingled to explore her.
I wanted more of the other night. Her body on mine was every chemical reaction I’d read about. Experimented with. But better. Faster. Harder. Hotter.
“I thought I made it clear. You’re the one I want.” Her hands trailed up until she grasped my neck. Her lips brushed mine, and I felt the sparks of electricity. “Repeat it so I know you understand.”
I licked my lip, my tongue centimeters from hers. I could almost taste her on the tip.
“You want me?” It came out sounding like a question. Maybe because all my blood had left my brain. It was pumping through my veins. Racing towards my hard cock.
“Yes.” Her breath on my skin made me even harder.
“You want me.” I gripped her tighter. My resolve forming.
She wanted me. I needed her. I was going to take her.
“So fucking much.”
The words were hardly out of her mouth before I was kissing her. Sealing the confession between us. Her lust tasted amazing on my tongue. It was the best thing I’d ever had next to her tight pussy. I yearned for more of both.
I wanted to drown in her. I craved her taste in my mouth. Her scent on my skin. Her screams in my ears. I wanted it all.
Our tongues glided together. Her hands roamed my body, applying pressure to my chest until I was walking backwards. I couldn’t break the kiss to see where we were headed. I felt like if I stopped kissing her, I would die.
Being with her was like understanding the world for the first time. Like a scientific discovery. Because I didn’t need the world, I just needed her.
