I pressed my index finger to her lips. “No, please, no. You’re too beautiful to sing like that.”
“I’d bite you, but you distracted me by calling me beautiful, and that’s not fair.”
I tapped her full bottom lip before moving my hand away. Reluctant, but necessary—for so many reasons.
“Think I hear the bus coming,” I said.
Her shoulders jerked, and she took in her surroundings. “I hadn’t even realized we were at the bus stop. Thank you, Jude.”
“Ah, fuck, Stripes. Hearing you say my name does something to me.” I was in deep, deep shit.
She pulled her bottom lip between her teeth. “Jude?”
“You’re being evil now.”
The bus pulled up, and with a sigh, the doors slid open. I didn’t even hesitate to follow her on. I should’ve. I had no business hanging around her like this, not when my dick was half hard from my name escaping her fuckable lips.
A couple other drunk students were already on the bus, but we sat away from them in the last row, keeping a seat between us.
“I’m not going to kiss you,” she said.
“I didn’t expect it.”
“I saw the way you were looking.”
Crossing my arms over my chest, I kicked back in the plastic bucket seat and expelled a long, slow breath. “You’re hard not to look at, but I wasn’t going to kiss you. I got a girl.”
“A girlfriend?”
I turned to her. She was watching me with wide eyes. “Yeah, a girlfriend. She doesn’t love when I kiss other girls.”
“Flirting is okay?”
“No. It’s definitely not okay. I shouldn’t be doing it.”
“Why are you then? I mean...unless I’ve misconstrued the things you’ve said, which is possible.”
“Why am I flirting with you?” I asked.
She nodded, that damn lip between her teeth again, those damn eyes wide and guileless. I would have called her precious if not for the fact that she was sexy as hell.
“Maybe that’s just me.”
“I don’t believe that,” she said.
Iwasa flirt. An absolute shameless one. But no, that wasn’t why I’d been flirting with Tali. That same connection I’d felt earlier clawed at my chest, reaching for her.
I looked away, out to the black night and specks of illumination from the buildings we passed. “We’re almost to your dorm.”
“I guess I’ll see you around, Jude.” There was a finality in her voice I didn’t like. Like, for her, this was done, but I wasn’t so sure
Turning back to her, I gave her a small smile. “It was nice to meet you, Tali. It’s been interesting.”
The bus stopped in front of her high-rise dorm, and she stood, holding the bar attached to the ceiling, which caused her shirt to ride up, exposing her perfectly round belly button. Fuck if I didn’t want to grip those hips and sink my tongue inside it.
She gave me one more lingering look, mouth curling softly into a pretty smile, before making her exit. And that was fucking that.
Goodnight, Stripes.
Time to get back to my regularly scheduled program.
