The corners of her mouth draw down, and I realize how this came out. I close my eyes briefly. "Shit, no. That's not how I meant it."
I let go of her hands and pull her into me. She returns the embrace without hesitation, burying her nose in my shirt. The strain that I didn't realize had my muscles coiled melts away. I place a kiss on the crown of her head.
"I have to get back for practice, but I want to see you later," I murmur against her hair, inhaling the fragrance of her shampoo. I halt mid-sniff.When did I start smelling a girl's hair?
King draws back slightly and peers up at me. "You do?" A laugh bursts out at the astonishment in her voice.
"What? You thought stabbing this motherfucker would change my mind? Make me want you less? Did you forget who my friends are?"Were.
Their actions never were the issue. It was the betrayal that ruined everything.
Something I can't decipher flashes across her face, and her eyes become watery. It's gone as quickly as it appeared, and I chalk it up to this day being an emotional mindfuck.
When a lone tear spills over, I untangle my arms from her and brush it away with my thumb. Her sadness chokes me, and I want to take her pain from her.
I open my mouth to start explaining why I had disappeared for almost a week when she shifts and hooks her arms around my neck. Her grip tightens, and I automatically engage my neck muscles against the sudden force. I don't fight as she yanks me to her, and our lips connect.
My brain short-circuits as her tongue strokes mine and—holy shit!It's not our first kiss, or second, but this is…any coherent thought leaves me. At the bar, I was marking my territory when I didn't have a right to—yet. But I had to make sure everyone knew that she was mine beforeIadmitted to myself that she was. This time, she is claiming me.
My pulse speeds up, and my cock is rock hard within seconds. I thrust my hips against her as her tongue tangles with mine. I drop my hands and glide them down her sides until I find her ass—her very firm ass. How many times have I watched her in her skintight jeans stalk around the bar, endured with clenched fists as every guy's eyes also followed the sway of her hips as she moved past?
Mine, a voice inside my head growls, even though I am the only one here.
Yes, she's mine.
I lift her up, and King wraps her legs around my body as soon as her feet leave the ground. Grinding her hips against me, I groan at the friction she causes. Despite the cool air up here in the mountains, a sheen of sweat covers me from head to toe.Too hot.The limited space inside my pants becomes smaller, and I want nothing more than to press her against the nearest tree and fuck her senseless.
She moans against my mouth, and my fingers dig into her butt. She tastes like heaven, and I wonder if she tastes this good in other places.
Fuck, I need to stop, or I really won't make it to practice.
I slow the kiss, and she whimpers in protest, applying more pressure against the back of my neck, wanting to hold me in place.
"Princess…" I try to get the words out when she nips at my bottom lip, and my control is about to snap. A metallic taste fills my mouth. She's drawn blood—this little devil. Instead of being bothered by it, I swipe the tip of my tongue against the spot and close my eyes at the sting. What the hell has gotten into me?
I let go of her ass, and she slides down my torso. As soon as she hits the ground, I take a step away, lifting my hands as if to hold off an assailant. King looks at me through her lashes, her chest rising and falling rapidly, mimicking my own breathing.
God, she is so fucking beautiful.
"Why did you stop?" Her question is breathy, and I huff out a laugh.
"Because I was this close"—I hold my thumb and forefinger about half an inch apart—"to fucking you in the middle of the woods."
Her bottom lip sticks out, and her pouting evokes a fierce need to jerk her to me and continue what we (almost) started. How can I deny her?
"I have practice, and you're scheduled to work," I reason with her as much as I do with my protesting cock. I swear, the profanities he's hurling at me inside my head would make Kai proud.
Yeah, I'm not happy either, but I have enough common sense left not to want our first time to be in the middle of the forest with me pounding King against tree bark and making her backside bleed.
I reach for her and intertwine our fingers. She squeezes my hand in return and steps closer. I don't stop her now that the hormonal crisis has been averted.
Leaning down, I place a gentle kiss against her still-scowling mouth. Before straightening, I whisper, "Don't worry. You will get thoroughly fucked—very soon."
Her eyes widen, and her lips part. Her tongue darts out ever so slightly, and I can't stop the groan escaping me. I turn and stalk in the direction we came from, dragging her behind me by our clasped hands.
"We need to go." My gruff tone is met with a chuckle, and for the first time in my life, I have the urge to spank a female.
This girl will be the death of me.
