Diana was acting like my presence had no effect on her. Or she was purposefully teasing me, luring me in like a fish, and she was the bait I was more than willing to take. In fact, I was positively eager to dive in and chase after her.
“Thanks for picking it up.” I grabbed the green and white cup off the table and dropped myself onto the couch. Sipping my coffee, I leaned back and unabashedly enjoyed watching her set up the computers and recording equipment.
Eventually, she spun around, leaning on the table. She crossed her arms and lifted a shoulder. “Yeah, well, you looked like you needed it.”
A brief chuckle left me. “I did. You’ve been beating me up over this song, so I stayed up practicing.”
“Really?” A spark of intrigue pulled her closer. She took a step when I gestured at the mess.
“Yeah, that’s what all this is.” I reached forward and rustled a stack of paper.
“I’m glad you’re taking this seriously,” she commented. An offhand remark, but one that stung more than she realized.
I set my cup on the table and shot off the couch like my pants were on fire. “Of course, I’m taking this seriously. What makes you think I’m not?”
Diana shook her head and angled away from me. She shrugged once and exhaled. “I shouldn’t have said that.”
I rounded the coffee table and stole the last step into her personal bubble. Her breath hitched, and her brilliant eyes widened. She tipped her head back to keep me in her sight as I towered over her.
Diana was so much smaller than me. Petite and curvy, every inch of her a perfect handful.
Just like her attitude.
“You just can’t help yourself, can you, Diana?” I stepped closer and the gentle warmth of her body radiated against my skin.
She gripped the edge of the table, mindful of the equipment. Her legs inched wider, and I moved in until my thigh settled between them. Fully chest to chest, her breasts pushed against me when she subtly arched into my body.
Goddamn, she wasn’t wearing a bra either.
Staring down at her, I fell into the depths of those jade green eyes.
They were deeper than the sea and if I didn’t come up for air soon, I'd drown. But fuck me, maybe I wanted to.
We were so close, hardly anything separated us. I wanted her, needed her, and I could have her right there and then.
And the look in her eyes made me think maybe she wanted me too. There was longing swirling in that ocean of mesmerizing green.
Unable to help myself, I reached up and grabbed her chin. Her mouth parted so invitingly for me, and I swiped the pad of my thumb across her bottom lip.
“Watch out, I bite.” She nipped at my thumb.
I drew my hand back, and my cock twitched inside my pants. Then I caressed my knuckles over her cheek, reveling in the softness of her skin. Her lashes fluttered shut when I curved my hand over the back of her neck.
Diana’s body responded intensely to every stare, every touch, and my body near hers.
Leaning in, I inhaled the perfume clinging to her skin. Pressing closer, I skimmed my lips against the shell of her ear and whispered, “And you’ll beg too.”
I needed to hear her desperately calling my name, wanting me to be inside of her. I wanted her to beg for me and permit me to be the first to have her.
“Levi,” she gasped. Her fingers twisted in the front of my shirt, and sparks raced over my skin.
As willing as she seemed now, I didn’t want to risk her running off again. It wasn’t the right time to fuck her. I wouldn’t take her unless she was completely comfortable and ready to receive me.
“We should probably get to work.” Withdrawing from Diana and her panting breath took every ounce of my willpower.
“Y—yeah, you’re right.” Her head snapped to the side, and she swiped a hand across her forehead. Her throat bobbed when she swallowed, and I had to leash back the urge to lean in and press my lips to her delicate skin.
“Music won’t write itself,” I smiled for her to ease the tension in her shoulders. Giving her the space we both needed, I backed up across the room.
