“Lizzy?” I motion for her to come further into the room.

“I’m sorry.” She sighs, turning toward my door.

“Whoa.” I jet over, reaching past her to close the door right after she pulls it open. “Where are you going?” I keep my hand planted on the door, ensuring she doesn’t try to run again.

She faces me, her eyes focused on the floor. I place my other hand on the wall beside her to trap her in, having no intention of letting her leave until she tells me why she came here in the first place.

“Why did you come to my room?” Her eyes snap up and lock on mine, her large pupils making her eyes appear darker.

“I couldn’t sleep.” Her breathy reply dances on my bare chest, the floral scent of her hair breaking down my willpower. She pushes her back up against the wall, creating a little more space between us. “Julianna was snoring really loud.”

I scoff at her explanation, my lips curling. “If you came to my room to sleep, then why are you trying to leave?”

“I, uh…” she stammers, before giving up with a slight shake of her head and shrug of her shoulders.

I tuck her hair behind her ear, sweeping it away from her neck. She shivers from my touch, and I suppress the urge to kiss her. “Are you sure you didn’t come here for another reason?” I keep my eyes glued on hers, looking for any sign that she came here for me—that she wants this too.

Heavy breathing fills the silence between us as I pull her away from the wall and into my arms. My hand settles on the small of her back and molds her body to mine, the thin piece of fabric around my waist doing nothing to keep my desire for her a secret.

“If there’s something you want…” I start, and she tilts her head back as I lean in until our lips are mere inches apart, “all you have to do is tell me. Whatever you want, it’s yours.”

Her skin feels so soft in my hands, and I’m itching to feel more of her. My vision blurs as she remains silent, my resolve to let her have the control dissolving at an alarming rate. She gasps as I run my thumb across her bottom lip, her body jerking as it presses into mine.

“Brenden, I…”

Her mouth crashes into mine, her hands clinging to my back as my tongue collides with hers.

Our kiss is filled with desperation. It’s months of longing, unleashed. A fiery blaze of desire consuming us.

My hands slide to her ass, gripping her cheeks as I lift her. She gasps, her legs eagerly wrapping around me. I carry her over to the bed, telling myself to take it slow. Lizzy has finally stopped holding herself back, the last thing I want is to freak her out by moving things too fast.

We’re both panting when I pull my mouth from hers to place her on the bed. There’s a mixture of lust and love in her eyes as she lies back, making my heart beat fiercely against my chest. My gaze roams over her, my mind committing every detail to memory—the halo of hair around her head, the glow of her milky skin in the dim light of the television, her perfect breasts budding through the thin material of her shirt.

Her legs spread as I crawl onto the bed, allowing me to position myself between them. My mouth connects with hers again, and a shudder of pleasure rocks through me as my erection presses into her center. I find the hem of her shirt and begin inching it up, enjoying the way her body quivers as the pads of my fingers caress her skin. My hand cups her bare breast, my thumb grazing over her erect nipple.

Her hips buck, her mouth ripping from mine as she cries out with pleasure. She licks her swollen lips, her eyes screwed shut as I hover over her.

“Open your eyes, beautiful,” I implore, needing reassurance that we’re still on the same page.

Her eyes flutter open, causing my heart to swell as they lock on mine.

There’s no fear or reservation in her gaze. It’s the confirmation I need to move forward with making her mine.
