“And seductive.”
“Yes,” I whispered, and that was as loud as I could speak.
“And so fucking enticing.” His hand left his pocket, and he reached forward, cupping my waist.
His touch felt hotter than when he’d gripped my leg on the couch.
There was need in his palm.
Longing in his fingers.
“Do you know how many times I’ve tasted your lips tonight?”
Three.
I didn’t even have to think.
“Yes,” I replied.
“And do you know what that has done to me?”
“Grayson . . .”
He stepped forward again, his other hand raising and landing on the wall behind me. Our bodies were close, only breaths apart.
“You’ve been teasing me all fucking night, Jovana. Every time you bit your lip. Every time you tempted me with your eyes. Even when you put my hand on your thigh.”
“That wasn’t my intention.”
“No?” He leaned his head down. “Then what were you doing?”
I took a deep breath. “Acting the part, like I agreed to do.”
“Sure. We’ll go with that.” His hand slowly rose, halting at the very middle of my torso. “But I know something.”
“And that is?”
“How badly you want me right now.” His face dipped to my neck, his lips hovering above it. “I know how much it turned you on when I touched you on the couch and when I offered to help your friend. And when you watched me walk around your room. I felt it in your body then, and I feel it now.” His lips moved lower, now at the base of my collarbone. “When you’re lying in bed tonight, you’re going to smell me in the air of your bedroom.”
I tried to settle my thoughts.
The tingles that were spreading through my body.
But I couldn’t.
His words were making them hum.
His touch was making those hums turn to screams.
“Sounds like that’s what you want,” I said softly.
When he lifted his head, I couldn’t handle the way he looked at me.
The hunger. The tameless, feral eyes that stared back.
“Have you made me hard tonight ... yes. More times than I can count.”
Because there was another layer to this arrangement, the one he’d brought up during our last date, when he offered to keep me satisfied as long as there were no strings attached.
