His finger glides over my panties, and I swallow hard.
“You gonna lie to me when I can feel how fuckin’ wet you are right now? Jesus Christ, Hads. You’re soaking me through the fabric.”
I suppress the moan that’s desperate to release, but there’s no way I’m going to give him the satisfaction of being right.
“Too bad you’ll never get to taste me again,” I hiss, pushing his hand away, then squeezing my legs together.
He brings his finger to his mouth and sucks it. “Don’t be so sure.”
“Go the hell away.” I roll my eyes, slamming my shoulder into him as I escape his hold.
Before I can make my grand exit, he captures my wrist and pulls my back to his chest. His mouth hovers above my ear. “Just imagine it’s my mouth on your sweet cunt, and you’ll come as soon as he touches you.”
I yank out of his grip and continue walking without a backward glance.
Knox Bishop will pay for that one.
Another hour passes, and I successfully give Kane my full attention, making sure to keep my head clear. I don’t glance at Knox and his annoying dates. I swear he gets off on fucking with me.
“Are you ready to head out?” Kane asks, squeezing my thigh. He’s had his hand on it since I came back from the bathroom, and I haven’t wanted to push it off. I love his touch, even if I feel guilty as hell that Knox’s hands were just on me. I should’ve pushed him away sooner or not given him a chance to talk. He spends days ghosting me and then thinks he can just appear back in my life like nothing happened.
“Yep!” I say. The bar has slightly cleared out, so Knox can see me. I make sure my chair loudly scrapes along the floor as I stand so he can watch me leave with Kane.
He interlocks his fingers with mine, and I stay close while he closes our tab. Then we make our rounds to say goodbye to everyone still there.
My nerves surface when we get to his house. I’ve been thinking about kissing him for hours. We haven’t since our movie night, and I need to see how my body reacts to him. That first kiss felt like fireworks in my stomach, but ever since Knox has led me on, my head and heart haven’t been in agreement.
“You wanna find something on Netflix, or you wanna go to bed?” he asks, grabbing the blanket I always use when I stay. His couch is too small for him to sleep on, so I don’t mind it. I’d feel guilty taking his bed anyway.
“We can watch something,” I say, grabbing the remote and handing it to him. “I might pass out before it ends, though.”
We settle next to each other as he clicks on one we’ve watched a dozen times. It’s our comfort since we don’t need to pay attention.
“I had a really good time tonight,” I admit, leaning closer to him. “Thanks for takin’ me out.”
His arm is wrapped around my shoulders, and he pulls me tighter against him. “I wish I would’ve grown the balls to ask ya out sooner.”
I chuckle, then he softly brushes his lips against mine. Tangling a hand through his hair, I melt into the kiss, gliding my tongue with his. While it grows deeper and more heated, my pussy tingles with need and desire. As if he can read my mind, he shifts and pulls me onto his lap. His hands go to my ass, and I grind against him while straddling him.
My heart hammers as his mouth lowers down my jaw, and he sucks on my neck. I whimper as our bodies create friction between his erection and my bare thighs.
“Fuck, Hads. You’re drivin’ me wild, sweetheart.”
His words hit me like a bolt of lightning, and I freeze.
“Kane, wait…” I pull back so I can meet his eyes. We’re both panting. “I need to be up front with you.”
He blinks at me, waiting.
“I don’t want to lead you on, and if we go any further, I’ll feel guilty. Hurting you is the last thing I’d ever wanna do so until I know for certain what I want, I don’t think we should escalate things. I’d be devastated to lose my best friend because I cherish you so much.”
Kane flashes a genuine smile, brushing strands of my hair behind my ear. “Nothing will ever prevent me from wanting to be in your life. Whether that’s through friendship or more. You don’t ever have to worry about that, Hads.”
I sigh in relief. Not having him in my life would shatter my heart.
“Thank you for understanding. I wish this wasn’t so complicated.” I slide off his lap and sit next to him.
“You’re not the only one at fault. Like I said, I should’ve admitted my feelings to you much sooner, but I can wait.”
