A girl stumbledout of Jax’s back door, nearly slamming into Lucas before a warm smile spread across her face. “Oops, sorry. Didn’t see you there.”
All that happy glow that had been building inside me flashed to flame, and I took a step toward her. Lucas caught me around the middle, his chuckle soft in my ear. “Easy there, Killer. You’ve got me. Let’s go.”
His fingers stayed closed around mine as he led me into the house. I followed behind Lucas as he shouldered through the partiers. If possible, it was even more crowded than before. We used the sea of people to hide our entwined hands as we made our way through Jax’s place.
“Where are we going?” I had to shout for Lucas to hear me, and he squeezed my hand in response, pulling me closer to his side. His lips brushed against my ear. “Do you trust me?”
“Yes.” The word slid off my tongue, the easiest thing I ever said.
His hot gaze met mine, and he rubbed his thumb along his bottom lip, which slowly curved into a smile. “Good.”
He grasped my hips and spun me around until my back pressed into a wall. He crowded into me, and my heart pounded in my ears and my breaths grew shallow as my gaze flew over partiers, looking for Marcus.
Lucas ran his nose along the column of my neck, drawing my attention, before nipping my earlobe. His tone was amused when he said, “You’re supposed to trust me, remember?”
I relaxed into the wall, dropping my head back, and met his hooded eyes. “We’re in the open.”
He moved so that his shoulders blocked my view of the living room and vice versa before dropping his forehead to mine. “I need your mouth.”
Shit. That was hot. I raised on my toes and pulled his bottom lip between my teeth, drawing a deep rumble from the back of his throat before he dipped down and took over the kiss.
His touch was softer than before as he took his time exploring my mouth and cupped my cheeks between his massive hands.
He pulled back and kissed between my brows. “You have no idea how long I’ve been waiting to do that.”
I stiffened and tilted my head to the side. “You mean kiss me?” I looked at the hollow at the base of his neck, unable to meet his gaze. “You never even looked at me.”
He laughed and kissed me again before speaking against my mouth. “I’ve never looked away.”
My chest whooshed with flutters. Having him here, looking at me like that, was more than I’d let myself dream of having. I wasn’t going to let this chance slip by in case it didn’t last. I raked up his stomach, enjoying the way his muscles flexed under my touch, and I traced the hard lines beneath his shirt. He leaned into my touch, and his mouth descended on mine with slow, languid strokes.
I traced Lucas’s shorts, dipping my thumbs underneath, and grazed his hip. He stiffened, dropping his head to the crook of my neck. “Baby, I’ve got to get you somewhere private before I make a fucking scene.”
A laugh bubbled from me, loving the way his words seemed pained at even the idea of stopping. Hearing that one word from him took my breath away. I took pity on him and placed my hands safely on his shoulders. “Guest room?”
His groan tickled my neck and sent goose bumps down my spine before he pulled back and searched my face as if reading if I was serious or not. I’d never been so serious in my life as I was right now.
I slipped from his grasp, ducking under his arm, and made my way to the stairwell that led to the second floor. Warm fingers met mine, and I looked back to meet Lucas’s wide gaze. I ran my tongue along my bottom lip before biting it.
A wicked smile turned up his mouth, and he cleared the two steps between us. The heat of his chest connected with my spine as he rasped, “You keep looking at me like that and I’m going to forget we’re in public.”
A thrill went through me. A part of me desperately wanted to see what he’d do if I pushed him a little further, but there was no way I was going to let Marcus interrupt this. Not when I’d waited so long.
I sprinted up the stairs, chuckling at Lucas’s shocked noise before turning the corner into the dark second-floor hallway. I didn’t make it ten feet before Lucas spun me around, lifted me off my feet, and crashed his mouth into mine. I wrapped my legs around his thighs and gasped when he palmed my ass and pulled my core against his hard length. His mouth captured mine, stealing my breath away in slow, hungry kisses, and I tightened my thighs around his waist as he carried me to the guest room.
He shut the door behind us, muffling the loud music from the party raging downstairs.
Lucas slowly lowered my feet to the ground, and I moaned as his hard body dragged against mine. I dropped my forehead to his chest and breathed in his spicy scent as lust took over my senses.
His heart beat rapidly against mine, and his chest rose and fell in quick breaths. I needed him more than I needed anything in my entire life, and I was terrified. “Lucas, this means something to me.”
His fingers dug into the back of my hair, his thumb and forefinger massaging my scalp, and his low words reverberated through me. “You’ve always meant more to me. I should’ve told you sooner.”
My eyes burned, and I buried my face in his chest, letting the warmth of his words wash over me. His fingers trailed down my spine and up my side before tracing the strap of my dress. He dropped his head to my shoulder, kissing softly, before guiding the thin fabric off. His thumb pulled down the other side until the neckline of my dress pooled low and caught on the edge of my bra.
He stroked his thumb over the top of my breast, sending delicious heat between my thighs before he pulled back. “Is this okay?”
I nodded, and his eyes met mine. “Use your words, baby.”
