Her eyes come back to mine, flashing with anger. “I’m not.”
“Because we’re just friends, right?”
“Exactly,” she says through gritted teeth.
I watch her for a moment. I’m not imagining it—there’s definitely been a shift between us this time. I’ve been jealous before, having watched her dating other men. But this time, it’s different being around her.
While I ended up with minor injuries out of my wreck, the fact that I’d almost been shot shook me more than the accident itself. The whole situation had me thinking differently.
Life is short. Maybe it’s time to test the waters with Olivia.
“Well, guess what? I was jealous.”
Her eyes widen. “You were?”
“I wanted to rip Wyatt’s head off.”
She bites her lip. “I wanted to rip Blondie’s extensions out of her head.”
I shift closer and brush against her chest, the heat from her body burning me from the inside out. “Oh yeah, why?”
Her chin comes up, holding my stare, and our noses almost touch. “Because she’s tasted you. She knows what your lips feel like on hers. She’s felt the weight of your body on hers. Inside hers. And I want to know that.”
Fuck me. My cock hardens to the point of pain that takes my breath away.
She breaks the stare by looking down and shaking her head. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said that. You’re my best friend, and I don’t want to mess that up. Just go back inside, and I’ll be in shortly. You owe me a bad rendition of ‘I’ve Got You Babe.’”
Her words are like ice water on the fire. I take a step back and drop my arms. I want to give her space, but I don’t want her feeling bad about what she said.
Because I loved hearing those words from her mouth—more than a friend should, but here we are.
I may never have a moment like this again. I’m walking the line here. And I’ve never been one to back down from a challenge.
I move forward and take her face in my hands. “Olivia, look at me.”
For a moment, I think she’s going to be stubborn. But then she raises her head, and those summer sky-blue eyes are a mix of emotions. Some of them I don’t dare to hope for.
It’s now or never.
“I want that too. I want to know what you taste like…everywhere. Your mouth, your skin, your pussy. I want you to wrap those long legs around my waist, your hips meeting mine when I drive my cock inside you. I want it all, Olivia. All of it.”
Her eyes darken and those pretty pink lips part. The column of her slim neck moves as she swallows. “How long have you…”
I close my eyes briefly before meeting hers again. I can’t tell her all that yet. I am already risking her running by what I’ve just told her.
The fucking head south of the border is doing the thinking tonight, so I evade the best I can.
“Long enough.”
Her breath quickens and her gaze drops to my lips. She touches my lips, outlining them with the tips of her fingers. Her touch—this kind of touch—makes my knees weak.
After tracing the lines of my lips, she meets my eyes again. “Just once, Caleb. Let’s have one night together.”
I raise a brow. “Get it out of our systems?”
“Yes, exactly. And then I’ll go back to Dallas, and we’ll go back to being best friends like always.”
I’m not sure I will ever get her out of my system if I have her. But if I have to choose between spending one glorious night with her versus none at all?
