She shakes her head, but I don’t miss the small smile that appears on her lips at the thought of him.
“You’ve really got him under your spell, you know that, right? If it weren’t for me, you would stand a chance with him.”
Her smile spreads. “Nah, we’d never be a couple. He’s just not…”
“Not…”
She hesitates, moving her gaze to look over my shoulder. Reaching out, I take her chin between my fingers and move her so she has t
o look back at me.
“He’s not you,” she breathes.
Her honesty wrecks me. It’s exactly what I want to hear, but at the same time, it’s exactly what I don’t need.
I miss her so fucking much it hurts. But I stand by my promise to her. I’ll wait as long as I need to make her mine again.
“Hads, I—”
“Do… do you want to come up?”
I look over to the building, desperate to go inside with her, to have her all to myself for as long as she’ll allow me.
“Um…” My need to do the right thing stops me from jumping from the car like a man possessed and dragging her up to her room.
“Come on.” She shoulders the door and waits for me at the trunk.
The second I join her, she slips her hand into mine and, side by side, we walk through the main door.
“Won’t you get in trouble for having me here this late?”
“What are they going to do? Tell my parents?” she asks, but although she’s trying to stay strong about everything, I hear the waver in her voice.
“Hads, I—”
“Don’t, please. I didn’t ask you to come up to talk about all of that.”
“No? So why did you?”
We come to a stop at her door and she looks up at me through her lashes. My cock jumps at the sight, and I’m unable to keep wicked images filling my mind.
She pushes her key into the lock, and I follow her inside.
“Hadley?” I ask when she just stops in the middle of her room and turns to look at me. “What are we doing here?”
“Make me forget, Cole.”
“Dove,” I sigh, stepping up to her and wrapping my hand around the back of her neck, dropping my forehead to hers. “You can’t ask me things like that.”
“Why? Don’t you want to?”
A pained laugh falls from my lips. “More than you could possibly imagine. But you’ll regret it in the morning.”
“Would I?”
“You know you would.”
“And what if I tell you that I was wrong? That all that stuff I said in Conner’s car wasn’t true.”
