“I’m going to kiss you, Kitten.” I lick my lips as he continues, “Anyone ever kissed you before?”

“No.” He’s making his intentions very clear.

“Good, because I’ve never kissed anyone,” he says before his mouth claims mine right in the center of campus.

CHAPTER9

NOBLE

“Get a room!”

“Someone take a video!”

“Is that Noble Patton-White?”

“Is this a prank?”

“My turn next!”

It’s the last shouted phrase that causes Autumn to wriggle out of my grasp. I scowl at the girl standing directly behind her. She grimaces and slinks away into the crowd that seems to have gathered while I was kissing Autumn.

I dismiss them from my mind and return my attention to the girl in front of me. Her lips are wet, and her cheeks are rosy. If the crowd wasn’t here, I’d eat her up, lick her from the tip of her forehead to the bottom of her feet. She tries to move, but I hold her in place.

“I need your protection,” I say.

“From what?”

I direct her gaze downward where my thick shaft is bulging against the denim.

“Oh,” she says with widening eyes as she realizes to what I’m referring.

I let out a small rueful laugh. “This is an actual dilemma. If you move, everyone is going to see my hard-on, and if you don’t move, my erection isn’t going away. Thoughts?”

“I could punch you in the nuts.”

“Drastic but probably effective. Let’s try a little space.” I move her back two steps and wave my arm toward the crowd. “Show’s over, everyone. Go back to your regularly scheduled programming.”

There are some grumbles, but the crowd disperses enough that the entire campus won’t be talking about my woody by dinner.

I jump up and down a little, re-adjusting myself as surreptitiously as possible. After about ten seconds of thinking of the most gruesome things possible, I say, “I think I can walk now.” Autumn’s cheeks are still red. I guess knowing that she turns me on is embarrassing for the little virgin. I slip her hand into mine. “Where to? You have another class? Dinner? Workout?”

“I hate working out.”

“You hate—okay, me too.” I actually love working out, but if my girl says it sucks, it sucks.

“I don’t believe you, and I have my doubts about the whole never kissed anyone before either.” Some of the sparkle has faded from her eyes.

“That good, was it?” I know I could swear it was the truth, but some things are hard to accept with just words. “There’s more where that comes from. No worries.” I grip her hand tighter, tugging her forward. I’m going to have to stick by her side because it’s obvious when we’re apart she has second—and third—thoughts about whether I’m a player. I’m not sure why I give off that air. Other girls have assumed that I bed anything that shakes their ass in my direction, as if I have no control or I’m some untrained dog that gets rabid at even a whiff of a tit. I haven’t touched a woman since I stepped foot on this campus—save for Autumn. So, I have no clue where this idea comes from. I’ll never be my father.

“I didn’t say I was worried,” she replies. “I don’t even know if I have time for this—whatever this is.”

“Kitten, I’m the easiest person to be around in the whole world. You don’t have to make time for me. I’ll be wherever you are.”

“I need to study, and I have work. I’m not here to hook up with random guys.”

The thought of her hooking up with random guys makes me want to puke. “Yeah, I’m not going to be happy if that happens either. I’ll have to beat that man’s ass, and then someone will report me to the honor’s counsel and then my mom will show up and pay off the school. After that, she’ll give me a sad look and say how I disappointed her, which I don’t want to do, so for my own family harmony, please don’t be chasing after other men.”

Her mouth falls open, and she appears to be at a momentary loss for words. “Good, I see you agree with me. Glad we’re on the same page.” I check the time. “Looks like it’s dinner time. Let’s go eat. I don’t have a campus meal plan, so we’ll go to the hot pot restaurant down the street.”
