I flicked ash onto the pavement. “Didn’t seem to bother you.”

“It didn’t.”

“Good.”

“Why?”

I turned toward her a little more. “Because I don’t plan on stopping.”

The air changed.

No joke.

No laughing.

Hazel’s eyes stayed on mine, and we were close enough now that I could smell whatever she had on.

Something light. Sweet.

I wanted to move closer. Find out if that smart mouth shut up when I kissed it.

Hazel drew in a slow breath. “You always this direct?”

“When I want something.”

“And what do you want?”

My cock answered that question before my mouth could.

I shifted my weight and Hazel’s eyes dropped. Not low enough to be obvious, but still fucking obvious.

I almost laughed. “You really want me to answer that?”

Her eyes came back to mine. “Maybe.”

The back door opened and we both turned.

Kori stuck her head outside. “Oh.” She looked at me, then Hazel. Her smile spread.

Hazel groaned. “What?”

“Nothing.” Kori’s smile got bigger. “CL said you’ve got two minutes.”

“I know.”

“Just helping.” Kori disappeared and the door shut.

Hazel covered her face. “She’s going to be unbearable.”

“About?”

She lowered her hands. “This.”

I looked between us. “We’re talking.”

“Sure.”

“What does she think we’re doing?” Hazel stared at me and I grinned. “Okay.”
