“That’s…” His gaze finds mine again. “You’re okay with that?”
“I want to be.”
“Are you though?”
“I will be eventually.” I shrug. “He’s lonely.”
“So are you, Daze.”
My heart drops into freefall.
What did he just say?
EIGHTEEN
ARCH
I probably shouldn’t have saidthat. I’ve completely overstepped my boundaries and she’s most likely going to tell me to go to hell. Kick me right out of her house and tell me to never look at her again.
But damn, it’s the truth. This girl is so damn lonely she aches with it and you know what?
So do I.
“You think I’m lonely?” Her voice is so soft I can barely hear her.
Nodding, I loosen my touch on her foot, drifting a single finger up the center of the bottom of her arch. She shivers. I feel it. That little shiver has my dick fucking throbbing.
“You are. You talk to no one. Hang out with no one. Just the admin staff and your dad and the roses and now the cat.”
Her lips part and she takes a deep breath, like she might want to say something in protest over what I just told her. But she clamps those lips shut and leans back against the old gray couch, crossing her arms in front of her chest, plumping up her tits.
Slowly killing me in that pink sports bra and shorts is what she’s doing. She got all freaked out earlier asking if she looked stupid in that outfit but hell no.
She looks fucking hot.
“Arch…”
“Yeah?” I release my hold on her foot once again, drifting my fingers up the back of her calf. Her skin is so damn soft. Silky smooth. Fragrant with some sort of lotion that has my mouth watering.
This isn’t good, me being alone in this house with Daisy. She’s barely clothed and her feet are in my lap. The two of us on the couch staring like we’d give anything to touch each other for real. Like we mean it.
“Thank you for coming to my rescue.” Her smile is small. Pretty. Everything about her is so damn pretty it hurts. “But you should probably go.”
My fingers go still on her skin for a moment and I drop my head, staring at her tanned shin. She’s right. I should go. I should walk right out of here and leave her alone because whatever it is this girl wants, I can’t possibly give it to her. Not like she deserves.
“Do you want me to leave?” I lift my head to find her watching me with so much longing shining in her gaze, I already know the answer.
Slowly she shakes her head, her braids sliding across her bare shoulders. My gaze drops to her chest, noting how hard her little nipples are and fuck.
Fuck.
“Daze…”
“You can go if you want,” she rushes to say, like she’s trying to give me an out. “I’m sure you have somewhere else to be. Someone else to see.”
“Daisy.”
“And it’s okay if you do. I get it. You’re popular. Everyone loves you. No one knows me.” Her laughter is broken, caught on a sob, and she clamps her hand over her mouth, silencing herself.
