I wanted that.

What the fuck? Since when?

Rhys wrapped his hand around the back of Bex’s nape and laughed at her antics.

“For fuck’s sake,” I huffed, looking at Minty. “This was perhaps not my best plan. I thought by slipping away I could ask you out discreetly, but no such luck.”

Something flashed behind Minty’s eyes, and she smiled.

I stared harder at her than I should, but I wanted to know what was behind that smile. What it was that flashed in her eyes and pinkened her cheeks when she looked at me.

I needed to know.

Minty

I wonder what it would be like to have sex on his bike?

Our audience had grown, and I, for one, did not know my lines.

He tipped his chin down and scuffed the toe of his boot against the road.

Words failed me.

Thoughts failed me. It had been a long time since I’d felt this awkward in any kind of social situation.

I counted each finger starting with my pinky. 1-2-3-4-5.

“I would.” I cleared my throat. “I would like that very much.”

He grinned, both dimples winking at me. “Are you going to let me pick you up and take you on my bike?”

Straddling his lap on his bike, my head thrown back, his hands gripping my waist, his mouth latched onto my nipple while I ride him hard, all the boyish softness wiped from his face...

Can he hear your thoughts?

Can he read your mind?

Did you say that out loud?

He stepped closer. “I need to know what goes on behind those eyes.”

“Be careful what you wish for,” I warned ruefully.
