Cautiously, as if she was approaching her prey, she stepped closer. The air between us was thick with lust. There was no doubt in my mind that she wanted me to lose control. Wanted me to kiss her. Throw her onto the leafy ground and slip my cock into her wet slit right here and now. And by God, I wanted it, too.
And why not?I heard a tempting little voice run through my foggy thoughts.
Just do it. Just do it, now, here, put an end to your horny, sleepless nights. She wants you as bad as you want her.
But then what? Pretend to be dating until I tell her I was just using her to get to her brother?
“No,” I mumbled as I stepped back.
“What was that?” Mila asked, her voice soft.
“I mean, we should get back. I don’t want you to be late for class.”
A glimmer of disappointment flickered in her blue eyes.
“Yeah, we better go. Professor Munch is the worst.”
She turned and started walking back down the path. The fact that I was passing on an opportunity to kiss her was tearing me apart. I craved this woman like the flowers craved the sun. Like Christmas craved the snow. Like a lonely man who’d filled his life with meaningless encounters, convincing himself they were enough for him.
If I’d thought this was just about getting laid, I was wrong, wrong, wrong. There was no denying any longer that I was not only hot for her but wanted to be with her on a deeper level. The thought of the “L” word had scared me to death ever since my parents had died.Better to build a wall around your heart,I had told myself. To never feel this sort of pain ever again. But for the first time in my life, I wasn’t scared of the thought of love.
I sighed. Why did life have to be so cruel? I could’ve run into Mila Kowitsch in a million other ways. On the subway, waiting in line at the grocery store, or even just on one of those stupid dating apps. But I hadn’t. I met her during an investigation. And the thought of the moment she’d find out about it twisted my stomach.
In the distance, Mila turned to see where I was, so I grabbed the cage and made my way back down that path.
I had to get this investigation over with as if my life depended on it. Which, come to think about it, it kinda did.
“Coming,” I hollered, already planning on rolling down the car windows so her delicious scent wouldn’t tempt me again. Luckily, it was only a short ride, and if I’d managed to resist her out here in the middle of the woods, I sure as hell could do so on a busy street.
If only it could be that simple.
