“Yes, you do,” I insisted. “You keep coming back here almost every day. You text constantly. What’re you trying to gain from all this?”
“Nothing,” he hissed, furrowing his brow as if offended by the question. “My only living relative on earth is here. Why do you think I keep coming back?”
“Well, Ava’s asleep,” I sassed. “So why are you still here?”
“Just what are you trying to get me to say?” he rasped out, lifting his brows and stepping intimidatingly close.
I lifted my chin and stared back, narrowing my eyes. “I’m trying to get you to admit what it is that you really fucking want.”
“Well, maybe I don’t know what the fuck I want,” he snarled back.
“Bullshit,” I accused. “You know what you want. You’re just too afraid to admit it.”
He paused and slowly lifted his gaze to mine. I blinked, growing a little intimidated by the heated glint in his expression. Not scared-intimidated, just...overwhelmed in an intimate way that made my thighs quiver and breasts tighten.
When his eyes darkened, I was almost sure he could sense how uncomfortably attracted I was to him because he drew in a breath and glanced down at my lips.
But I refused to be the one who cowered and backed away from this confrontation, even though I’m fairly positive I’d forgotten what we were even arguing about in the first place. I just knew I somehow had to win.
“So what do you want, Vaughn?” I taunted, lifting my chin in challenge. “In this very instant, more than anything else on earth, what do you want?”
Brown eyes lost their focus. Then his nostrils flared as he rasped, “You. I want you.”
I blinked once, needing a moment to process that. And before my mouth could even drop open in shock, he set a hand against my breastbone and pushed.
The insistent nudge caught me completely off guard, and I stumbled backward about two steps until my spine bumped against the wall once again.
I had no time to catch my balance before his lips were on mine, hard and brutal yet so achingly soft that I moaned deep in my throat and wrapped my hand around the back of his neck to keep him right where he was.
Arching up into the pleasure, I kissed him
back, thrusting my tongue deep, which caused him to plunge his hands into my hair and cup my face, tilting my head where he wanted it.
From there, he completely slayed me, drinking my soul straight from my lungs.
I’d never experienced anything like it before. My entire body turned into one live nerve ending, and everywhere he touched and pressed against me felt like mini orgasms racing along my skin.
My fingers left his nape to travel along his shoulders and then down to his chest, where I gripped his shirt and pressed my lower body against his. He shuddered against me and ground back, the hard bulge of his arousal making my sex prepare for immediate entry, swelling and sensitizing and going embarrassingly damp.
I whimpered, struggling to feel more of him through our clothes.
Strong fingers dug into my ass as he lifted me against the wall, and I broke free from his mouth to gasp through my relief as I wrapped my legs around his waist and humped the hell out of him, only thinking of the latest doctor’s checkup I’d gone to earlier that very day, where I was told I could resume normal sexual activities if I so desired.
At the moment, I definitely desired.
I couldn’t even recall what I’d been cleared from; I just knew I wanted this man inside me as I’d never wanted one before.
Eyes closed, he pressed his forehead to mine and panted, rolling his hips against mine and imitating the act we both obviously wanted.
Needing all obstructions out of my way, I fumbled with his shirt, hearing fabric rip in my frenzied haste.
Vaughn gave a hoarse laugh and caught my hands in a gentle halt. Then he slid his mouth back to mine, this kiss gentle and drugged, seeking warmth and affection. After cupping my hair briefly and smoothing his warm palm over it, he dropped his hand to the hem of his shirt and began to lift it for me.
He’d barely revealed his abdomen, however, when a cry from down the hall halted us both.
“Shit.”
With a gasp, we broke apart, gaping at each other as if asking what that sound had been. Then our eyes widened in horror-stricken unison.
