She squeezed her eyes tight. She didn’t know where to begin.
“What do you need?”
She needed what she knew only he could give her, but she didn’t know how to ask for it. She shook her head. “I…I don’t know.”
“What made you cry?”
Fresh pain stabbed through her. “It’s complicated.” She opened her eyes to see him studying her.
“Nothing is that complicated.” He shifted his gaze to her lips.
Her nipples tightened and her hypersensitive skin grew desperate for his touch.
Eros sucked in a breath. “I want to kiss you.” He leaned in closer, his lips so close to hers. “I’ve been dreaming of kissing you since we first met.”
He’d been dreaming of kissing her?
“Can I kiss you?”
“Yes,” she whispered.
He gave her a gentle smile and brushed his soft lips against hers with tenderness. He tugged at her bottom lip, coaxing her to open for him. She parted her lips and surrendered to the smooth caress of his warm, silky tongue.
He slanted his mouth against hers and his kiss shifted from tender to hungry. He released a moan deep in his throat. She’d never heard a man make such a feral, lust-filled sound before. This was the passion she’d been yearning for. She welcomed it as if it were the oxygen that would keep her alive. Heat pooled through her body and headed straight to her core.
Bold fingers skimmed her midriff, lifting her shirt. She shivered with goosebumps spreading across her skin.
“Is this okay? Tell me to stop and I will,” he murmured.
“It’s okay. I want you to.” Cassie’s craving for him exploded. She placed her hand on top of his and guided it up her waist.
Eros kept his eyes on hers as his hands edged slowly up her torso, his fingers brushing the underside of her breasts. His movements were measured, as if he was in no hurry to unwrap her. She craved more of his touch. She wanted to rip off her top so there would be nothing between them.
Instead of lifting her shirt off, he held onto the thin cotton and brushed the tips of her nipples. His eyes hooded with lust, watching her.
She gasped, shuddering with arousal. Her breasts felt heavy, and desire pulsed through her body.
“I want you.” His rough voice rumbled through her. He kissed her again.
She wanted him too but couldn’t articulate the words. This would be the perfect time to let go, just this once. Without saying another word, Cassie pushed her hips closer to his.
He grabbed her ass and yanked her against him. His unmistakable erect length pushed against her belly. “I am so fucking hard for you.”
His crude words inflamed her need for more of him.
The gate continued to slam against the metal hinge.
He buried his hands in her hair, and kissed her, harder this time, tugging on the strands just enough to feel the prick of pain. With one kiss, she was branded by him.
“Say you want it, too, and I’ll take you to my bed or fuck you right here.” His seductive gaze lowered her defenses.
Reality slammed into her brain like a freight train. She’d never done anything like this before. She’d never had a one-night stand, never snuck a guy to her dorm room, and never went to a wild frat party. “I shouldn’t.” Of course, she should. It’s what she’d been dreaming about since she met him.
“What do you want?” he asked in a deep rasp.
Such a simple question. Owen used her, pure and simple. The burning anger of Owen and Daphne’s betrayal and the pain of her loneliness exploded inside her.
Her breath quickened. “Can you make the pain go away?”
