“I’ll make you a cheesy sandwich, but I want to tell you something too.”

She nodded.

His pulse quickened, adrenaline hammering through his bloodstream as her doe-like eyes searched his soul. “I know we kid with each other a lot, but I need you to know.” He ran a thumb along her bottom lip. “You’re not just a roommate to me. You never really were.”

She licked her lips.

“The day I met you, I’d never been at a lower point in my life. And it was like you were just standing in the stairwell, waiting for me. Waiting for us...”

She smiled. “More like trip—”

He pressed his lips to hers as he tugged her inside and shut the door. Her purse dropped to the floor with a thud as her leg lifted to wrap around his middle. “Austin...” she murmured against his mouth.

A shiver ran through him as her fingernails raked his hairline. “My Casey girl...” He dropped his hands to squeeze her butt, lifting her small body into his arms, the pressure grating against his pelvis and fogging his brain.

He carried her down the hallway and backed into her darkened bedroom, lit solely by the Christmas lights in the window. He stumbled, stubbing his toe on an unknown heavy object. “Shit. Ouch!”

“Sorry! It’s my textbook!” She giggled. “I told you political science wasn’t a good idea.”

He snorted and set her on her feet, tugging his leg upward to rub his toe. “Yeah, but it’s kinda what brought me to you,” he whispered, dropping his foot back to the floor. He lifted his shirt up and over his head. It fell, covering the offending textbook.

“I guess it’s not all bad then.” Her gaze raked over his bare chest.

Drawing her body closer, Austin gripped her hands and pressed them to his heart. He dropped his forehead to hers as her fingers explored, each fingertip ice cold to the heat radiating from his body.

With a grin, he tugged at the hem of her shirt until she raised her arms. He lifted the soft material from her body, pulling it free until she gasped. Pressing his lips back to hers, he unhooked her bra and cupped her breasts.

She groaned, dropping her head back as his palms glided over her nipples. “Mmm... Austin...” she whimpered. “More.”

Warmth thundered through him, the purr of her plea squeezing his heart and wringing it dry until every ounce of adrenaline in his system flooded his veins.

Her hands dropped to the zipper on his pants. The pressure in his groin built, growing and mounting with each ragged breath she took. Anticipation roared through his bloodstream as her fingers fumbled with the button and dragged the zipper down. She tugged the material from his hips, letting it fall to his ankles.

“Casey...” he whispered as she sank to her knees, taking his boxers with her.

His breath hitched as her fingers encased the length of him.

“You did say I could suck something of yours later,” she whispered.

I’ll never ask you to study again...

The air escaped his lungs as her mouth closed over him. He groaned, threading his fingers through her hair as she moved, shockwaves of pleasure exploding inside each nerve cell in his body. Her lips brought goosebumps to his flesh, chilling the sweat glistening on his skin. Closing his eyes, he worked to right the dizzying sensation invading his brain. He choked on the air in his lungs and gently nudged her back. “I’m... uh...” he moaned. “I’m not gonna last very long if you keep doing that.”

She pressed a kiss to his belly and snickered. “Another time,” she whispered and rose, guiding him to the bed.

Casey fell backward as he gripped the zipper on her jeans. He tugged, yanking the material from her legs. The red glare of the Christmas lights cast a hazy glow over her pale skin as he trailed his tongue down her torso. Pausing at the tattoo on her waist, Austin grinned and lowered his lips to press a kiss onto the outline of a royal-blue bear cub.

“Mmm,” she moaned, arching her back. “Now you know, Mr. Templeton.”

With a smirk, he tugged at her panties until they fell to the floor with the other discarded clothing. Heat surged through his body as he moved on top of her, positioning himself between her knees, pressing his arousal to her entry.

He groaned, a panicked thought slamming into his brain. “Case, do I need...”

Her breath tickled the side of his neck. “No, I’ve got us covered,” she whispered. Arching her back again, she pressed herself against him with impatience. “Austin, please,” she begged.

“Always so eager, Casey girl,” he murmured. His eyes closed as he slid into her.

She inhaled, the air catching in her throat as she moaned, the sweet sound of his own name ringing in his ear.
