No bears of any kind.
I swallowed hard. “Sure.”
Mr. Carrington turned on his heel and began to walk away, and I shot a look over at Travis, who mouthed,Try not to get toofilthy.
I ignored the imbecile to follow Mr. Carrington, the man who had every part of my body going haywire. When he disappeared inside one of the study rooms, I ducked in behind him. As the door shut, Mr. Carrington turned and leveled me with an assessing stare. The polite mask from moments ago was gone.
“Lock the door, please, Preston.”
“Lock the?—”
“I don’t think you want anyone to overhear the conversation we’re about to have, so, yes, I think it would be best if you lock the door.”
Oh shit.I wasn’t sure if I should be excited or terrified by the seriousness of his voice. But my dick sure knew whatitwas feeling as it throbbed back to life.
The lock clicked into place and seemed to echo off the walls as I found myself standing in the small confines of the room, and for the first time ever I understood the appeal of fucking around during study period.
I could totally fuck around in here.
With him.
“I had a very interesting conversation with Serena this weekend.”
So I’d been right. He knew.He knew we weren’t dating. He knew we weren’t really a couple.
If that was the case, why did he look so…annoyed?
“Oh?”
“Oh?” Mr. Carrington put his coffee cup down on the desk behind him and took a step toward me. “Is that all you’ve got to say for yourself?”
I opened my mouth, about to say yes, because that was the proper response, but fuck it. This was my chance. This might be myonlychance to really speak my mind, my truth, around this man.
“No. I have a whole lot to say. I’m just not sure if you want to hear it.”
“I want to hear the truth.”
“Really?”
“Try me.”
If he wanted to know the truth, I’d give it to him.
My eyes shifted to his mouth. “I’ve wanted to kiss you from the first moment I saw you.”
Mr. Carrington’s brows hit his hairline. “Preston, that’s not what?—”
“You meant?” I asked, deciding it was now or never. “What you wanted to hear? I thought you wanted the truth? And the truth is that night at the charity event was the hottest moment of my life. And it wasjusta kiss.”
His lips parted in surprise, and apparently I’d shocked him, because he wasn’t able to say a word.
I took a step toward him. “I know it was wrong. But you have to understand that Serena and I aren’t together like that?—”
“But that’s what I don’t understand,” he said. “This lie that the two of you perpetuated… Explain it to me. Are you gay or bi or confused?—”
“I’m not confused.” I took another step closer. “I know exactly what I want—I just never thought I had a hope of getting it.”
We were close enough now that I could touch him, but Mr. Carrington surprised me by touching me first, putting his hand on my chest. If the move was meant to deter me, it failed. Because that touch was a shock that reverberated through my body, shooting straight to my dick.
