“Too much, how?”
He bit his lower lip, and just the sight of it made me crave having his teeth biting onmylip again instead.
“Like, I want someone who can put me in my place,” he said. “Not always, but when the time is right, you know? Someone who calls me on my bullshit. Who knows that what Ireallywant, deep down, is… complicated.”
I cocked my head to one side. “You want someone to boss you around a little, Casey?”
I fucking loved the way it made him look at me.
“Little bit,” he said, his voice low.

CASEY
I was royally fucked.
I’d flirted with guys before at bars. Plenty of times. But it hadneverbeen like this.
When Rome had dragged me into that kiss earlier, I’d been half convinced that I could have come right then and there into my pants. I was already all worked up, managing the state of my hard-on all night.
But when he looked at me with those kind, hazel eyes, and asked me in a deep voice if Iwanted someone to boss me around?
Yep. Fucked. I was totally fucked.
And so hard under my jeans that it was starting to hurt.
I swallowed. I was trying to maintain my composure on the outside, not giving away the fact that I was already dying for him to do whatever he wanted to me.
“Sometimes I want someone to tell me what to do, yes,” I told him. “And sometimes I want to tell someone else what to do, too.”
Rome hummed. “I’m starting to think you were made to drive me insane,” he said. “And that you’re reading my mind. And you know exactly what turns me the fuck on.”
Now it was my turn to tease him right back. “I thought you said I was too young for you?”
“I think I don’t care anymore,” he said, his voice a low purr. “Or, maybe I’m starting to like it.”
“Damn,” I whispered, shifting in my chair to try to get my dick into a slightly more comfortable position.
“Come over here and kiss me again.”
The inside of my chest went molten. “Who says I want to kiss you again?” I bluffed, knowing he’d catch that bluff in two seconds flat.
“Yousay it,” he told me, calmly and confidently. “With your eyes. With every word you’ve said to me since you saw me. With that thick bulge at the front of your pants.”
I sucked in air. “Like you don’t have a bulge, too?”
“Kiss me,” Rome repeated.
I groaned. “I can’t.”
“Why the hell not?”
I looked around. Jade Brewery was calm, friendly, and cozy as always. Across the bar I could still see Shawn, Nathan, and Charlie, having a chat over some drinks, and Harlan was restocking bottles of cinnamon ale behind the bar.
“Because the moment your mouth is on mine again,” I said, my voice low and steady, “I’m going to want to push you onto the top of this bar and make you come. And that’s just not appropriate in public, okay?”
This earned a lopsided smile from Rome, crinkling up to his eyes again in that irresistible way.
