Of course he remembered. The conversation had replayed in his mind countless times. “Yeah, I remember.”

“Was that a joke? Or were we being serious?”

He swallowed. “I don’t know if I’d call what I want to do to you a claimin’. In my mind you’d play a much more active role in the whole thing… but… yes, Aja. I think we were bein’ serious.”

He noted the exact moment when she started trembling and he clenched his fingers to keep from putting hands on her. He wouldn’t do that until he had express permission to.

She blinked up at him slowly. “I know it’s not cool or spontaneous or whatever to talk about all this… before… but I need to be clear about what we’re getting into, so I don’t drive myself up a wall overanalyzing everything. Are we doing this just the once?”

Walker hadn’t so much as kissed her yet and already he knew that he wouldn’t be satisfied with only having her the one time. Something about Aja told him that her touch had addictive qualities.

“If that’s what you want,” he told her, letting her know that he would follow her lead. “But I don’t want you to miss out on claimin’ your prize either.”

The moment was thick with suspense, but Aja’s cheek dimpled as she smiled. “Yeah, we definitely wouldn’t want that… so… twice then?”

He screwed his lips up. “We could make it a kind of tradition,” he said. “Any time one of us wins a bingo game.”

“It’s also a way for us to get out this obvious sexual tension without risking falling into something neither of us wants or needs right now.”

“A two birds–one stone kind of thing.”

“Exactly.”

Aja stared at him before finally she closed her eyes and let out a wry chuckle. “I cannot believe we’re doing this in the bingo hall parking lot. I thought—” She stopped and released another breath.

“What did you think?”

Aja opened her eyes slowly. The right one first, peeking at him, then the left.

“I thought maybe we would wait until the night before you left to acknowledge it. Whatever the hell this is”—she gestured between them—“I thought we’d do it one time and you’d leave and that would be it. I definitely didn’t think we’d try to make some kind of sex arrangement like we’re in a dirty ’80s movie or something.”

“I had more faith than that,” he chuckled. “I thought I’d be strong enough to deny it entirely. Still don’t know how the fuck I ever thought I stood a chance when you…” He trailed his gaze over her, trying to narrow down words for what she was but coming up short. “When you’re everythin’.”

Another breath, but this time, she followed it by leaning towards him and resting her forehead against his shoulder. His hand went to her back, resting in the center, waiting for her reaction. When she snuggled a little closer, he stroked his hand along the expanse.

“I’m hungry for you too, Walker,” she whispered into his shirt. “So, so hungry. There’s so much of it inside me, I don’t even know what to do with it all.”

He touched the shell of her ear, trailing the pad of his fingers along the warm skin all the way down to her jaw, cupping there as he made her look at him.

“Let me take care of it then.” He leaned close until their noses touched. “I can make sure you get that hunger satiated plenty, and then some.”

She bit down on her lip. “We are so ridiculous,” she said, seconds before she brushed her mouth over his.

“Absolute fuckin’ fools,” he agreed.

Theirs had all the exhilaration of a first kiss after a period of tension-filled waiting. There was an urgency to the way their mouths moved. Wet and rough, and a little sloppy in the best way possible. Aja pressed her body up against his, grinding their hips together.

“You really are hungry, huh?” He nibbled gently at her bottom lip. “Rubbin’ yourself against me like you’re desperate for whatever I want to give you.”

She whined. “I didn’t think you’d be the type to tease.”

“I’m not teasin’, I just want to make it last for as long as possible.”

Her tongue went to his neck, licking over his birthmark, making his eyes roll up into the back of his head. She had the same urgency she’d had when kissing his mouth. Wet and warm and insistent, so fucking overwhelming that it made his dick pressing against his zipper almost painful.

“I don’t want to wait,” she whispered into his skin. “I just want you.”

He could already feel her hard nipples pressed against his chest, feel the slight trembling of her body. Slowly, he walked them forward until her back rested against her car again. She raised her left leg all on her own, that luscious thigh wrapped tight around his waist.
