KENAN
Quinn’s stunning eyes were dark as they held mine. Her cheeks were pink, and her lips were puffy and swollen from our kiss. I felt, well, there was no other way to put it — wildly out of control inside. Desire pounded in a relentless drumbeat through my body. My cock was so hard it hurt. I knew that later tonight, I would be once again finding my own release with my hand as visions of Quinn danced in my thoughts.
As Quinn stared at me, I tried to shackle my need, to wrestle it under my control. It was a total waste of effort. My heart drummed out a chant of want and need.
I tried to slow my breath, and I succeeded, just barely, taking in at least one deep, steadying breath. “What if —” I began.
She blinked rapidly, looking away and catching her bottom lip with her teeth. I knew that habit of hers. Because I knew her well. I’d often see her in her office, jotting notes with a pencil and biting the corner of her lip when she was thinking. She said she liked to write by hand because it helped her when it came to strategy. As a corporate lawyer, it wasn’t that she ended up in court all that much, but she constantly reviewed contracts and made recommendations for us and helped, usually me, handle odd problems.
Although it had never happened before, the sight of her teeth creating a little dent in the smooth pink surface of her lip sent a shot of blood straight to my cock. I had never wanted anyone with such force that I felt a little out of control inside.
“We’re friends,” she said, almost forcefully.
She was still sitting on my lap. I could feel the heat of her arousal. I had to grit my teeth to keep from rocking my hips into hers.
“We are,” I agreed. “We’ve already kissed,” I pointed out.
Quinn rolled her eyes, the pink on her cheeks deepening. “So we have. What’s your point?”
“We can’t take that back. We’ve kissed twice. I want you, and you want me, so what would it hurt to see where it goes?”
She studied me quietly. I knew that big brain of hers was spinning through scenarios. She swallowed, blinking and biting the corner of her lip again.
Her chin rose slightly as she stared at me. I felt as if she were daring me to question her even though she hadn’t said anything yet.
“What?” I pressed, a familiar feeling rising inside—the urge to spar with her. Hell if I knew why because I sure as fuck didn’t know what she was going to say.
“Fine. We can see where this goes. But if it starts getting weird, we agree to stop, and we’re friends. Are we clear?” She actually wagged her finger at me.
A sense of triumph rose inside, the feeling pouring into the desire already rushing through me. “Crystal clear,” I said slowly. “Anything else?”
“Yeah. We’re not having sex.”
“Why not?” That question slipped out before I could think better of it.
Quinn’s eyes narrowed. “Because I said so.”
“So we’re just going to kiss and fool around?”
All things considered, that was perfectly fine with me. Well, maybe not perfectly fine. The idea of being buried deep inside Quinn was beyond tempting. But I’d had enough sex to know that plenty of things could be just as good as the full act.
“Yes, we’re just going to kiss and fool around,” she said, her tone pointed and sharp.
I had one hand resting on her hip and couldn’t resist giving her a light squeeze as I replied, “You’re fucking hot when you’re bossy.”
She rolled her eyes.
“I have another question.” I held my hand up as if I were a student in a class, Quinn’s class.
She pressed her lips together, letting out what I could only describe as a prissy little sigh. “Yes?” Her brows arched up.
“Are we done for the night?”
“Done with what?”
I knew she was flustered, or she wouldn’t have quite lost the thread like that. I smiled, my hand sliding up from her hip over the sweet dip at her waist and along her side, resting just where I could feel the curve of her breast on the edge of my thumb.
“Done kissing and fooling around for tonight? I know you like things to be clear, so I just wanted to clarify.”
