“Really?” My mouth fell open. “Why not?”
He shrugged. “It’s…complicated.”
He gave my clit one final flick before pulling his hand from between my legs. Brushing his thumb over my mouth, he pushed the tip between my lips. “You’ve never been kissed like that before. Have you?”
“I have no idea what you’re talking about.” Could my inexperience be the true reason he was holding back?
“Whatever you’re thinking—” He ran the tip of his thumb over my tongue. The heady scent of my arousal wafted into my nose. “—it’s not true.”
“You have no idea what I’m thinking.” I shoved away from him. “If you want me like you say you do, you would stop pushing me away.”
“Luna.” His brows narrowed.
“No,” I snapped. “What’s wrong with me that you’re holding back? It can’t be the age thing because I’m only a couple years younger than you. Is it because I don’t have a career path set out? Or I just work with my mom at the tattoo shop? Is it because I don’t know what I want out of life? Tell me, Zach. Tell me something.”
“We can’t be together,” Zach said, but even though the words left his mouth, I could see the inner turmoil in his deep brown eyes.
“You’re lying,” I murmured.
“Fuck.” He raked a hand through his dark hair. “I’m not good enough for you.”
I stared at him, my eyes roaming over his face. The anger rushing through me just a moment before, simmered as I watched the man before me crumble with the emotions weighing him down.
“Hey,” I said gently, snaking my arms around his neck. I pulled him against me. “You are good enough, Zach. You are more than good enough.”
His rigid body relaxed at my words.
“Meet me in my bedroom,” I whispered, looking up at him through hooded eyes.
His eyes darkened even more in the shadows of the night. “When?”
I thought a moment. “Ten minutes.” It would give us either enough time to cool down or make things worse. I was betting on the latter.
“Alright, Moonbeam,” he said, his voice rough. He pinched my chin, leaning down until he was eye level with me. “Ten minutes and then you’re fucking mine.”
My breath caught.
“Let’s go before people start looking for us.” He placed a soft peck on my mouth. “I meant what I said.”
“Ten minutes and then I’m…I’m yours.”
“Yeah, Moonbeam.” He released me. Just when I thought he was going to walk away, he reached out to cup my face. “Thank you.”
Those two words had been so quiet, I wasn’t sure I heard him correctly.
When he turned around and re-joined the party, I let out a breath I hadn’t realized I had been holding.
I couldn’t believe I had made out with Zach like I did. I also couldn’t believe that I took initiative and put his hand between my legs. I was never like this before with other guys. Not that I had many lining up at my door or anything, but with Zach I felt comfortable. Knowing he needed control, I was surprised when he let me take it as far as I did. But he was right, I didn’t want to continue this beside the house. In the dark. No. I wanted to see him.Allof him.
Taking a deep breath, I slipped out from beside the house and found Zach sitting on one of the patio chairs. He caught my gaze, his dark eyes roaming down the length of me.
I glanced down at myself, elated that I looked presentable. But I was sure that my hair was a mess. My body heated, remembering how he had his hands running through it just moments before.
“Luna.”
My head snapped up, finding Zach still staring my way. “What?”
“Come here.”
