I needed sex again. I needed it, like,bad.
Except I’d been fine thirty seconds ago before I’d turned around and looked into his whiskey eyes. Sex had probably been the last thing on my mind.
Which meant, I didn’t just need sex at all, did I?
I needed Damien.
It didn’t matter that he was dressed down as much as I was. Sporting a worn HaveU T-shirt and drawstring jogging pants, the man looked scrumptious, and I wanted to devour him whole.
“I live just around the corner,” he was saying, motioning in some direction, who knew if it was north, east, south, or west. Who even cared? He was standing right in front of me, and he just lived around the corner.
Hisbedwas just around the corner.
I started to wonder who I had to fight to get a spot in it tonight.
Because I would.
With weapons.
Jaylani’s words zipped through my head.The dude gives off serial-killer vibes. He has secrets in his eyes. But at that moment, I didn’t care what kind of skeletons were in his closet. I wanted his hands on me.
And then Thalia’s face flitted by.I forbid it.
But not even her wish for me to stay away from him swayed me.
I needed Damien.
“Yeah, I tried shopping at the store closest to my apartment first,” I heard myself telling him, motioning in some direction that might or more likely probably wasn’t even close to the way that store lay. “But they didn’t have my favorite K-Cups. So I tried another. And then another. Until, yay… Fourth time’s a charm. There they are.”
When I glanced up at them on the top shelf, Damien looked too.
“There they are,” he murmured in husky agreement as he stepped closer.
I sucked in a breath and lifted my chin in order to keep looking into his eyes.
“So…how’ve you been? Your concentration still on track?” he asked, shifting closer until he’d basically boxed me in against the shelf full of assorted coffees. Then, he reached up past me, our faces only inches apart, before he pulled my K-Cups off the shelf.
Still keeping eye contact throughout all this, he rasped, “Here you go.”
I exhaled roughly. But God, even his voice did things to me.
My eyelashes fluttered as a wave of arousal suffused me. “Tha—uh…thank you.” Taking the cardboard box from his hand, I hugged it to my chest to hide the fact that my nipples were hard.
“No focus problems, then?” he pressed, remaining close and distracting me with his heat and smell.
“No…what?” I asked, wishing he’d just crowd me the rest of the way against the rows of coffee and take me right there.
Damien’s lips twitched into a knowing smirk. “The last time I saw you,” he reminded me. “You were having trouble focusing on classes. I was just wondering if Ireallyhelped clear that up. Or…” I swear he didn’t move a muscle, but suddenly, he loomed closer. “If you need me to make another go of it.” Lifting his hand to capture a lock of hair between two of his fingers, he wound the dark strands idly around his digits as he added, “I wouldn’t want anything to distract you from your studies.”
I started nodding dumbly even before he finished the sentence. “You know,” I said, my smile blooming. “Now that you mention it, I think you may be right. One more round just might be required after all. To make sure I gotallof the distractions out of there.”
A white row of teeth appeared as he grinned. “Yeah?” he asked, beginning to unwind his finger from my hair, his hand moving lower as he went. “You think you need another round?”
“Oh, yes, sir. Definitely.” The bobbing of my head turned a little more insistent, and his eyes darkened with heat. His finger came free from my hair, and he not-so-accidentally brushed his knuckles across the front of my shirt, directly over the hardened tip of one breast, which told me I hadn’t been hiding shit from him.
“When?” he said, making my heart race.
I swallowed thickly, feeling my thighs heat. “Well, you’re in luck,” I managed to say. “It just so happens that I have an opening tonight. I think I can…squeeze you in.”
