“I’m not being annoying, I’m retaliating,” she said. I sat up a little more and gently stroked her leg. She still had her jeans on so I couldn’t feel her skin, but it was better than nothing.

“Stop it,” Lark said softly.

“Do you really want me to stop?” I asked.

After a few moments, she slowly shook her head back and forth.

“That’s what I thought,” I said, rising up on my knees and then crawling over to her upper half.

Her eyes didn’t leave my face as I leaned in and brought my face within an inch of hers and paused. Lark didn’t move back.

“What are you doing?” she whispered.

“Waiting for you to kiss me,” I said. “I’m ready. Are you?”

“You’re awfully sure of yourself, aren’t you?” Lark said.

“I’m sure when I’m right. And I know you want to kiss me,” I said.

Lark snorted softly, her breath washing over my face.

“No, I don’t want to kiss you,” she said, but her voice trembled a little. My knees hurt a little from kneeling, but I’d deal with it if it got me what I wanted.

“Liar,” I said, and purposefully licked my lips slowly. Her pupils dilated and her eyes flicked down to watch me.

“Shut the fuck up,” she said and then her mouth crashed into mine. Our noses bumped, and my eyes started to water, but I couldn’t stop kissing her. For someone who said she didn’t want to kiss me, she was absolutely kissing me.

The kiss was almost brutal in its intensity, as if she was almost mad at me for the kiss. I could work with that.

I put my hand on the side of her face, stroking down to her neck where her pulse fluttered like the beat of hummingbird wings.

Fuck, I needed this. I needed Lark’s kisses in my life. I needed all of her in my life. Just existing in the same space with her wasn’t enough.

She made a little frustrated sound, and I could tell that the angle wasn’t right, so I straddled her hips and looked down at her.

“Is this better?” I asked.

“Yeah,” she said before reaching for my shirt to pull me back down to her mouth.

This time her mouth was softer, more sensual. As if she was savoring me. I gave her everything she wanted, and a little bit more. She deserved more. She deserved the best kiss I could give her.

Lark’s tongue teased mine and I let her explore and do as she wished before I did the same. I savored every single lick and taste and drank her in like she was a glass of the world’s best wine.

It took a lot of willpower not to just go right for her clothes to get her naked as quickly as possible, but I’d said this was going to be a kiss, and unless she pushed for more, it was going to stay a kiss, even though my body was on top of hers, and my hips had started a rhythmic thrust into hers. I couldn’t help it. Just a little more friction and I would absolutely come. I’d been vibrating on the edge of coming pretty much since she moved in.

“Wait,” she said, pulling back and inhaling deeply. I sat up, panting and shaking with need. If she stopped this right now, I needed to go to my room immediately and get off.

“What is it?” I asked, stroking one of her curls. She was so fucking beautiful it was like staring into the sun.

“What are we doing?” she asked.

“Kissing,” I said.

“I know that,” she snapped. “But what are wedoing?”

“Whatever we want. We’re both consenting adults,” I said. I couldn’t stop touching her hair. It was so soft, and the spring of her waves made me happy.

“But we’re roommates. We shouldn’t…” she trailed off as I raked my fingernails over her scalp.
