I smiled up at him. “It was my pleasure.”
His light eyes twinkled. “If I’m being honest, there wasn’t a part of that whole thing I didn’t like. Almost like you came over to claim your territory.”
“What if I did?”
Miles stepped closer, lifting one hand to brush a stray hair away from my face. “Raegan… fuck. We always said we wouldn’t do anything to ruin our friendship.”
I wasn’t sure what had come over me. Perhaps I needed an exorcism because something was possessing me. I needed him closer. He was overwhelming and consuming. I lifted my arms to link them around the back of his neck.
“What if we’re doing the opposite of ruining it?”
His jaw tightened and his throat bobbed as he swallowed roughly. His eyes bounced back and forth between mine once.
“Fuck it,” he growled before crushing his lips against mine.
CHAPTERSEVEN
Miles' mouth was against mine without a single ounce of hesitation or restraint. His lips were soft and warm, moving with a tenderness. My hands gripped the front of his shirt, needing to feel him closer as his tongue slid along the seam of my lips. I slowly parted them, letting him in, and there was a shift between us in the way he kissed me.
His tongue slid against mine and I moaned into his mouth, unable to help myself. His fingertips dug into my skin as his grip tightened on my waist. He was everywhere, consuming me, kissing me with such an intensity I could feel it crackling through my bones like electricity.
His hands were in my dark brown hair, holding the base of my head as he tipped it back farther to grant him more access. His tongue moved with mine with perfect precision. The elevator behind us dinged and all it took was that sound to bring us crashing back to reality. We abruptly broke apart as Miles pulled back. We were both left breathless and he stared down at me with a fire burning in his eyes.
“Raegan…” His voice was hoarse and thick with lust as he stared down at me. “Fuck.”
I stared back up at him, still feeling the rush of his lips against mine. Adrenaline coursed through my veins, mixing with the alcohol that still had me feeling like I was in a daze. I couldn’t separate the two and my body was warm with need. I clenched my thighs together.
“Are you both coming?”
Julian.
His voice broke through the silence and Miles didn’t move away from me, still cupping the sides of my face as he glanced over his shoulder at Julian. I shifted to the side, my eyes meeting Julian’s from where he was standing in the elevator. He was leaning against the wall with his hands tucked in his front pockets, watching the two of us with lucid curiosity.
Miles turned back to me with a smirk and stepped away, his hands falling from my face. He grabbed my wrist and pulled me into the elevator with them. I was sandwiched between Miles and Julian. No one moved, no one spoke a single word. We just stood there as the doors slid shut.
The tension was palpable and the air was suffocating.
Julian was the first to move. He stepped forward, but he didn’t press the button for our floor. Instead, he turned around to face Miles and me. His eyes met mine first and darkness danced with the flames in his irises. He glanced at Miles and I looked at him from the corner of my eye. A smirk lifted his lips and he released my wrist as he nodded.
Julian’s eyes were back on mine as he stalked toward me, closing the small amount of distance between us in the elevator. My breath caught in my throat. Time was momentarily suspended. My mind couldn’t comprehend what the hell was going on.
He just saw Miles and I kiss and now he was stalking toward me like I was his prey.
His toes reached mine and he lifted his hands, planting them on either side of my head on the elevator wall as he caged me in. I couldn’t breathe and I wasn’t sure I even wanted to. Those flames in his eyes threatened to consume me. I watched, frozen in place, as his tongue darted out to wet his lips.
Lifting one hand from the wall, he placed his two fingers just beneath my jaw. “Your heart’s pounding, Raegan.” His voice was low and seductive. My thighs clenched again as the warmth in my body spread. “Is it from Miles,” he murmured as he trailed his fingers up to press them to my lips. He slowly dragged them down my chin and along the column of my throat. “Or is it from me?”
My lips parted and a ragged breath finally escaped me.
“Perhaps it’s from both of us,” Miles mused from where he was standing beside me.
Julian lightly wrapped his hand around the nape of my neck. “Tell me, sweetheart. Is your heart about to break through your rib cage from both of us?”
Holy fuck.
His voice was demanding, yet there was a tenderness in his tone. His touch was burning my flesh. Pulling my bottom lip between my teeth, I bit down and nodded. There was no denying it, not with the way my body was responding. And my brain lacked any sense of control as I was caught under his spell.
“You’re waiting for me to kiss you, aren’t you?”
