She turns back around with a frown. “I just told you, I’m–”
“You’re not walking home in the middle of the night. I’ll drive you.”
“I can take an Uber, it’s fine.”
An angry growl rumbles up my chest. “You’re not getting in a car with a stranger either.”
“It’s fine, Tristan. You don’t need to do that for me.”
“I’m doing it for me,” I say, closing the distance between us. “You’re freshly fucked and you look it. You barely have any clothes on and my cum is leaking down your thigh. I won’t have a second of mental peace if I let you walk out that door into the dark of fucking night by yourself.”
She gives me an inscrutable look. “Are you always this protective of your hookups?”
I want to tell her no, because I’ve never slept with the same woman twice before, nor, frankly, have I ever cared what happened to them after I was done fucking them.
“I’m not letting you go anywhere without me, Nera. Either you get in my bed and cuddle or you get in my car and let me take you home. Which is it going to be?”
She huffs at the finality of my tone. She grabs the car keys where I hung them on the hook by the door and lobs them at me.
I snatch them out of mid-air as she throws the front door open and stalks out.
“Careful,” I say, calling after her as I walk out and close the door behind me. “You know how much I love to fuck the attitude out of you.”
My grin widens as my words make her miss a step on her way to the car.
“You’re insatiable.”
“Yes.”
She whips around. “You’re not going to argue it?”
“What is there to argue?” I ask, closing the car door behind me and pulling onto the road. “The only time I’m not thinking about fucking you is when Iamfucking you. Which is exactly why I’m not letting you put yourself in potential harm’s way.”
She rolls her eyes. “Nothing would have happened to me.”
“Maybe not. But what if it did?” I throw her a dark look. My next words are soft. “How would I live with myself then?”
My hand comes down on her thigh and she looks at it for a long time before looking out the window.
“Okay,” she says. Her hand lays on top of mine like before, her fingers burrowing under my palm to hold it. She doesn’t look at me as she does so, like she doesn’t want to acknowledge this small sliver of vulnerability.
I pull into The Pen’s parking lot and park in front of her building. She doesn’t immediately move to get out.
Progress.
I clasp her nape and angle her face towards me. Tired, unshielded eyes meet mine and the pull between us calls to me. I’m about to bring my mouth down on hers when she closes the distance and claims mine.
I groan loudly, satisfied, and her hand reaches out tentatively to cup my jaw. I unbuckle her seatbelt and pull her into my lap to get better access to her. My hands tangle in her hair as we kiss like we’ve been separated for weeks.
Finally, she pulls away, breathing heavily. Her eyes are glazed over and looking at me almost softly.
Does she know every little thing she does is making me want to keep her? Does she have any idea at all?
“Come back tomorrow,” I demand.
Surprisingly, she nods. “I can’t stay the night.”
My teeth grind together in frustration. Had you told me four months ago that I’d get annoyed when a girl refused to sleep in my bed, I’d have laughed you out of the room. Now, it’s downright turning into my biggest, most desperate fantasy.
