“Dexter.” I took a step toward him, wishing I could touch him and know he’d receive it well. “I’m not here because I need to be. I think you’re just as incredible as the other guys—and just as attractive. I didn’t thinkyou’dbe into me that way.”
For the first time, those bright green eyes lifted to catch mine and held there for several beats. The full force of Dexter’s gaze was enough to take my breath away.
“I don’t normally feel this way,” he said. “I’m not even sure how to talk about it. But something about you draws me in. I’ve felt it since you first started working with us. I’ve wondered what it’d be like to touch you, to have you touch me… Watching you with the other guys… you have no idea. I kept wondering what it’d be like to be with you the same way.”
My heart thumped faster, an eager flutter passing through my chest. Dexter wasn’t anything like the other guys, but that made his confession thrilling in a totally different way. I didn’t know what to expect from him or where this could go, but a huge part of me was dying to unravel that mystery.
“I’d like to find that out too,” I said quietly. “I’m here now. What would you like to do with me, Dex?”
At the implied familiarity of the nickname, his eyes flickered. He took a step toward me, closing most of the remaining distance. His gaze skimmed down my body and back to my face. Then he lifted his hand and let his fingertips come to rest against my cheek.
That delicate touch woke up every nerve in my body. I knew how much Dexter normally avoided physical contact—I knew how special it was for him to initiate it, to want this closeness with me.
“Can I kiss you?” he asked, matter-of-fact as always but with an intensity beyond anything I was used to from him.
My heart just about leapt out of my chest with excitement. “Please.”
He bowed his head and carefully brought his lips to mine. The second our mouths met, a sizzle of heat shot over my skin. I had to hold myself back from grabbing him and pulling him even closer.
Instead, I let Dexter take the lead. His hand slid from my cheek into my hair, his fingers curling to grip the long strands with a tug against my scalp that made my pulse skip. He leaned closer to deepen the kiss bit by bit. When he tipped his head, seeking out the best possible angle, I couldn’t hold back a gasp of delight.
The sound seemed to spur him onward. He nudged me against the wall next to the hand dryer, bringing his other hand to my face, and kissed me so hard pleasure trembled down to my toes. I tentatively grasped the front of his shirt, and his breath stuttered against my mouth.
He drew back no more than an inch, an eager shiver passing through his own body. “This is good. Really good. I—there are so many ways I’d like to touch you. But not in a place like this. You should have better than this.”
The library bathroom was pretty clean as public restrooms went, but I had to agree it wasn’t the best site for a first sexual encounter with a guy who was pretty cautious about the entire experience. Just the fact that hewantedmore than this had me soaking my panties.
I could wait. The challenge in the Vigil office had been about me. I could make this moment about him instead.
Monitoring his reaction for any sign of discomfort, I trailed my fingers down his chest to the waist of his slacks. “Maybe for now I could just help you finish what you already started?”
Dexter’s eyes widened, but with a spark of hunger. “Yes,” he rasped. “Yes, if you want to—”
“I do,” I assured him quickly, and he dove in to claim my mouth with even more enthusiasm than before.
I fumbled with his fly and then delved my hand inside his pants. My fingers closed around the silky skin of his rigid cock. He was a little slimmer there than the other guys, like the rest of his body was, but just as hard and twitching against my palm when I gripped him.
A choked sound burst from Dexter’s throat. He kissed me hard enough to bruise, one of his hands dropping to cup my breast through my shirt. His hips bucked with the jerk of my fingers over his shaft, and I swallowed a moan at the thought of what it’d be like to have him inside me. What this intense, pensive, unusual man might be able to bring to the bedroom that’d be totally unlike anyone I’d shared that kind of intimacy with before.
I increased the pressure, stroking him faster until he was groaning against my lips. Dexter thrust into my hand with increasing desperation, his kisses turning wilder but still searing. I swept my thumb over the head of his cock and smeared the precum beading there down his length, and his fingers pulled tighter on my hair.
His lips crashed into mine. His breath had gone ragged.
“Madelyn,” he mumbled against my mouth as I pumped him toward his release. “I’m going to—Fuck.”
The curse sent a shiver of pleasure over my skin in the same moment as his body stiffened against me. Warm fluid spurted over my palm and wrist, and then Dexter sagged over me with a shaky sigh.
“We should clean that up,” he murmured, but he couldn’t seem to resist stealing one more kiss before he reached for the paper towels. His gaze caught mine, hopeful but nervous until I’d wiped the cum from my arm and drew him in for a final kiss.
“Next time we’ll find a place where we can get more comfortable,” I suggested, and a rare, shy grin stretched across Dexter’s face.
“You have no idea how much I’m looking forward to that.”
His smile set off a renewed flood of heat through my veins. “Oh, I think I have a bit of a clue.”
When we’d completely cleaned up, I grasped his hand, and we headed back to the Vigil office together. My pulse kicked up a notch imagining the other guys’ reaction to the statement I intended to make, but if they had a problem with this development, they’d just have to get over themselves.
The guys were still standing in a loose cluster, Slade and Beckett next to each other and Logan keeping more distance. Their voices fell away as Dexter and I stepped into the room. I felt as much as saw their attention shoot to our clasped hands.
