I felt his ribcage expand as he tore his lips from mine and sucked in a breath. His erection pressed against my groin. He held my hands over above my head, his chest against mine. His gaze never left my face since we first kissed tonight. The fear settled in; I’d never been out of control like this in my life, eager for this moment to never end. Being with Chase was like a high that there was no coming down from unless I found an adequate substitute. But I didn’t want to find one.

The uncertainty if I’d ever have my friend and mom come back to me was gone. It was just Chase and I. I was in trouble, vulnerable to being hurt just like Cindy.

“It’s so damn hard for me not to slide this”—he grasped some of my sweats between his fingers—“off of you so I can rip your panties and introduce your pussy to my mouth.” He said it so fiercely that I hadn’t felt my dampened panties against my groin until he shifted his position and I was on the stiff sofa again.

I gulped past a dry lump in my throat. “Uh…”

Chase hauled me with him effortlessly. My stomach felt light. Too light. As if I hadn’t eaten in hours and I was on the verge of fainting. I shook my head and squared my shoulders.

“Let’s have another morir soñado night, okay?”

“Yes,” was all I could manage.

“After the Tainted Virtue concert,” he said softly. His hands landed on each side of my neck. His outsized shoulders and arms made a view I was uncertain that I’d ever get tired of. “If you’re up to it, of course.”

Bringing his leg between mine, his gaze fixed on my lips. He bent his head and his dexterous fingers traveled down my back, sending a zing of pleasure coursing through me. It was like he studied my body and knew where I like to be caressed. He slanted his mouth against my lips and pulled me against him. I tugged him as he savored my mouth. And with a reluctant look on his face, he dragged his lips from my mouth. I didn’t have the strength to. My mind was in a fog of lust. Nothing about tonight, however, felt sleazy or cheap or convenient.

He walked away from me and my body cooled again. “And Beth?”

I touched my well-kissed lips. “Yes, Chase?”

He raked his gaze over me. “Wear that skirt for me on Saturday.”

Chapter 7

Chase

Once the infomercials came on, I knew that I’d watched at least four hours of late-night shows. After a hundred push-ups and a cold shower, I was still restless. I was used to functioning on at least four hours of sleep. I’d gotten my swim trunks on, but I knew that I’d remember how Beth’s wet curves looked with the sun shining on it and how I’d had her on the brink of an orgasm by grazing my fingers on those taut nipples to make the sensation sharp for her, and her pupils had dilated. My body was revved up. Having Beth sit on my lap was the ultimate test in restraint, however. Not only could I see her trying to control her reactions to me, but I felt that wonderful, warm heat getting turned on more and more as she writhed when I’d strummed my fingers on her sternum.

A year ago, if anyone had told me that I would want to date any of the girls that I’d screwed, I would’ve laughed in complete disbelief. Despite the fact that I’d been around my share of couples in high school, the concept of a monogamous relationship was foreign to me. I couldn’t imagine anyone wanting to be open to scrutiny and getting burned if the relationship didn’t work out in the end. It was a risk. A big one. I’d seen many of these couples break up. Friendships had been divided and it made things get really fucked up because my old friends had become acrimonious. Sure, other factors had come into play, but the fact was that not very much in life lasted for long or transitioned into a healthy and centered conclusion, where people could at least greet each other in passing without wishing they had never been with each other. I was taking a big risk with Beth. It hadn’t fazed me when a girl I bagged saw me at a party, at a bar, or on the street with her family and friends and hadn’t even acknowledged me. If Beth, on the other hand, were the one to dismiss me, it’d take every ounce of self-respect I had left in me not to plead my case.

As I tossed and turned in bed, no position seemed comfortable until I got up from the bed, went into the closet, and put covers on the extra pillowcases that Nancy had placed in there for me. Carrying five pillows, I lay on my side and surrounded myself with cushion for my back and my knees.

My gaze darted over to the clock; I had an hour and a half for some shut-eye. The scent of vanilla and honey washed over me. And I envisioned that I had Beth’s lush body curved into me, so I could feel her ass. The image in my head made my cock stir.

Hands wrapped around my waist. My eyes flew open and I looked at arms with pale blond hairs. Rolling off of the bed and quickly getting to my feet, Cassidy pushed her bottom lip out. I was squeamish and pissed off.

“What the fuck, Cassidy?” I stormed toward the door and it flung wide open when I turned the knob. “Get out now.”

It was like I hadn’t just kicked her out of the room. Her expression didn’t change. “So, you’re a chubby chaser, is that it?”

No one was in the hallway yet, so I moved just outside of the door. I didn’t want her to lay one finger on me again. Her words practically had me seeing red, because it was a clear jab at Beth. She wanted to see how I would react to her dumb remark about that drop-dead gorgeous woman who happened to be her cousin, and she had me—from the victorious gleam in her light blue eyes, she learned that Beth was important to me. I thought Cassidy might’ve started to bother other guys and would finally quit hounding me. But I was foolish to think that she’d stop.

“Out. Now,” I repeated.

Cassidy rolled over in her see-through tank top and boy-short underwear. Bringing a section of her hair to her nose and inhaling it, she said, “I love this shampoo that I borrowed from Beth. I have to get myself a bottle.”

When I started toward Pierce’s room, I heard her stomping behind me. Just as I opened my mouth, Cassidy was next to me. Beth opened the door. Her half-lidded eyes widened as she flicked her gaze between Cassidy and I in that instant. Shoving Cassidy off of me, the look of betrayal was clear on Beth’s face. From my bare chest and boxers to Cassidy’s lack of clothing and the way she had been on me, it was hard to come to any other conclusion than Cassidy and I had hooked up, or were about to.

“Morning, Cassidy.”

“Hey, Beth.”

Lowering her gaze to her feet, Beth swallowed and closed the door, acting as if she’d forgotten something.

I trotted to Beth’s room and knocked on her door until it was clear that she wasn’t going to open it. I even turned the knob, but she’d locked the door. Pressing my forehead on her door, I hoped that she’d unlock the door and at least curse me out.

“I don’t think she wants to speak to you right now.”
