He hasn’t really seen you yet.
Fuck off.
The elevator stopped. I took a deep breath, then stepped out through the opening doors and strode toward Tanner’s condo before I could talk myself out of it.
A few steps shy, that voice was about to say something to make me retreat—I could fucking feel it—but my own hubris didn’t get ahead of it this time.
Tanner did.
He opened his door and met my gaze, and my mind went blank. Hell, I almost tripped.
Oh.Fuck.
On the other side of the threshold, Tanner wore nothing but a wicked grin and a pair of black track pants. I didn’t even get a chance to drink in the perfect abs he had on display or the not-so-subtle tenting of his pants, because I zeroed right in on those eyes.
Christ, he looked at me like he wanted to eat me alive.
Please do.
All my hesitation and self-consciousness evaporated in the heat of his gaze, and I regained my footing. I had every intention of getting him inside, but apparently Tanner wasn’t interested in waiting that long. He closed the remaining distance between us, grabbed my shirt, and…
Oh, my God.
Finally.
Tanner’s lips were against mine, and the whole world just… stopped. The nagging voice in my head fell so silent, my ears rang.
I wrapped my arms around Tanner, sliding my palms over hot, bare skin. He was lean and built, but his skin was soft and so was his kiss. His fingers loosened their death grip on my shirt, and he slid them up into my hair, and my spine and scalp prickled with goose bumps. Then he deepened the kiss, making my knees shake, but it was the barely audible moan that almost dropped me to the floor at his feet.
So. Damn. Sexy.
I was trembling all over and breathing hard when we came up for air. Touching my forehead to his, I murmured, “Should we go inside? So your… Your neighbors…”
“Mmm, yeah. We should.” He hooked his fingers in my belt and tugged me toward the door. “Don’t want the cops showing up.”
We stumbled just far enough into his condo, to shut the door, and he paused just long enough to make sure it was closed and locked. When he looked at me again, the heat in his eyes made me forget how to speak at all.
Fortunately, I didn’t need to say anything. Tanner pulled me against him, and he leaned against the wall as we kissed deep, hard, and messy. Now that we were behind closed doors, we didn’t hold back anymore, making out like this was going down right here, right now. And hell, maybe it would; all I knew was how bad I wanted this gorgeous, hungry man who was trembling against me. I got a little braver, sliding my hands between him and the wall and down over his perfect ass, which drew a moan out of him. He leaned into me, rubbing his hard-on against mine through our clothes. I pushed back, and he broke the kiss with a gasp.
“Jesus Christ,” he breathed.
I leaned down to kiss his throat, and just like he had the first time I’d done that, he swore and arched. He was so deliciously responsive; I couldn’t get enough. His neck, his mouth—I couldn’t decide between the two, so I moved back and forth between them, loving how much that made him whimper and shake.
“God, Isaiah,” he moaned as I started down his neck once again. “Fuck…”
“Like that?”
“Uh-huh.” He dragged his hands up my back and purred, “I’ve been horny before, but not like this.”
I shivered. “Happens when we’ve been teasing each other for two damn weeks.”
“That didn’t help.” He tugged my shirt up and slid his hands under it, his palms hot against my back. “Mostly I just want you so fucking bad.”
“Same. I was about to lose my mind in traffic,” I mumbled against his throat. “Couldn’t get here fast enough.”
He whimpered softly. “It’s okay. Gave me… Gave me more time to get ready.”
“Yeah?”
