Chapter 12

Hastings~

I wasn’t sure what had me stupid enough to start an argument with Saxton Voss, but here we were.

Staring up at his gorgeous face, I wasn’t sure what was bothering me the most. While I wasn’t a supermodel, I had pampered myself for two days and put in the work to look pretty tonight. Truth be told, I was trolling for dick, but that was none of his business.

“How do you figure?” I asked, acting braver than I really was. “Just because I’m Kincaid’s roommate doesn’t mean you’re obligated to babysit me, Saxton.”

He stepped towards me, and his tall, broad, sexy frame was towering over me. “You think this is about you being Kincaid’s roommate?”

I crossed my arms over my chest, and it was probably a bad move. My dress didn’t leave a lot of room for movement. “What else would this be about?”

Saxton’s grey eyes flared with something that looked like lust before his left hand came around and grabbed my ass. Hauling me up against him, he asked, “What do you think this is about, Hastings?”

I was very aware that he had just asked me a question, but my mind was misfiring with all kinds of confusion. Saxton Voss had his hand on my ass, and he was holding onto it like he owned it. My body was flushed up against his, and there was no mistaking the bulge that was poking at me.

My hands grabbed hold of his biceps, and that was a huge mistake. I knew the guy was built like a god but feeling that muscle underneath my hands had me imagining how those muscles would flex as he held himself over me, driving deep inside my body.

“S…Sax…Saxton…wh…what are you doing?” I stammered, confused but also turned on.

His dark head leaned down, and his breath was warm against my ear. “What do you have on underneath this dress, Hastings?” he asked.

“Uh…”

“Or would you rather I find out for myself?” he asked softly, but it felt very much like a threat.

“I…I’m…dressed,” I semi-lied. I mean, I had underwear on, but some people’s idea of underwear differed.

“Let’s see about that,” he smirked.

I could feel my lungs cease to work as Saxton Voss’ large, warm, capable hand slid down the back of my ass, then back up, underneath my dress. My ass cheek felt on fire as Saxton touched bare flesh, and I couldn’t hold back the needy whimper as his fingers slid underneath the lacy thong strap that ran between my ass cheeks.

“A fucking thong,” he growled, and I moaned.

I actually freakin’ moaned.

I also didn’t care that we were in the middle of a crowded party and that anyone who cared to look could see me cornered by Saxton Voss, his hand under my dress. Sure, the guys would think I was nothing but a voyeuristic slut, but I also knew all the girls would be jealous. Any one of them would trade places with me in a heartbeat if they could.

“Saxton-”

All coherent thought vanished as I felt his hand slide back across my ass, over my hip, then rest on the top of my leg. His thumb had slipped underneath the lace fabric of my thong, and only an inch stopped his thumb from rubbing my clit.

Holy shit.

“Were you looking to get lucky tonight, Hastings?”

I leaned back and Saxton had no choice but to straighten, so he could look down at me. “What if I was?” I asked bravely.

If I thought Saxton Voss was gorgeous before, that was nothing compared to how he looked now with his pupils blown with desire and naked need decorating his face. “Were you looking for anyone specific?”

His question surprised me, though it shouldn’t have. Scott and I have never been a secret, and it was very possible that Kincaid could have mention Scott in passing or something. Still, I wondered if Saxton would back off if I told him that I was looking for someone else.

It was a fleeting thought, but I pushed it to the back of my mind. No matter what I’d been planning tonight, I’ve wanted Saxton Voss long enough to know that he’s a regret that I’d gladly live with for the rest of my life.

I shook my head slowly. “I’m not sure what I was looking for,” I answered honestly. “I just know that I was looking.”

“Are you done looking?” he asked.
