Janet was watching us but turned to glare at Ashley, her face a dark red again.
“Hell. Let’s get out of here before the town gossips descend on us.” Rhett grabbed me by the hand as we followed Ashley to the ER doors.
I couldn’t help but glance in Janet’s direction, her eyes wide and mouth forming a perfectO. I had been the topic of too many whispered town conversations, and tomorrow I would undoubtedly be in the center of them all. But right now, having Rhett’s warm hand in mine made it seem like all the awful gossip could be worth it.
Chapter Fifteen
Rhett
The silence inthe truck was palpable as I studied Bella in the seat beside me. Obviously, she sensed the tension rolling off me. I wouldn’t have been able to tell except for the constant wringing of her hands. She bit her lip as she glanced at me, tucking her hair behind one ear.
She shifted and crossed one leg over the other. Goddammit, why did Ashley need to bring her shorts to change into? She was perfectly fine in her jeans that covered her long, gorgeous legs. Now I was imagining those legs thrown over my shoulders while I—
Fuck. Now I’m hard. What the hell is wrong with me?
It was my turn to shift uncomfortably in my seat, attempting to talk my cock back down. Hopefully, a good workout and a cold shower would help when I got back to the cabin.
Bella finally broke the silence. “You okay?” Her voice was barely a whisper, like she was dealing with a wild animal and was unsure of how to proceed. The comparison was likely true at the moment. She wet her lips, and I had to tear my eyes away and force them back on the road.
“Yeah, I’m fine.”
“Liar,” she mumbled.
An unexplainable impulse to pull over, hold her tight, and bury my face in all those soft brown curls cascading around her shoulders had me white-knuckle holding the steering wheel. I would have loved nothing more than to run my hands through her hair while I devoured her mouth.
Don’t go there. Focus on the road, on the lights ahead, on driving back.
I glanced over at her, and I swore her eyes were sayingdo it,like she knew what I was thinking. Fuck me, I wanted her. But she deserved more than what I could give her tonight. The first time we were together wouldn’t be because I needed a quick release after a long day. She pulled her hair around to drape over her other shoulder, exposing her neck to me. Was she purposely trying to get me to react? My hand twitched to reach for her.
By the time I pulled into my parents’ drive and slammed the truck in park, my thin hold on the desire pounding through my system was slipping. If she stayed with me for a moment longer, I would have to have her in my arms.
But she made no attempt to move. Instead, she reached out and placed her hand on my forearm—and I could read it all on her face.
Take what you need. It’s yours. My body, heart, and soul.
Fucking hell.My last thread of control snapped, and I reached for her, one hand snaking around the back of her neck and pulling her to me. My lips captured hers, rough and desperate. She whimpered, allowing me to deepen the kiss. My tongue invaded her mouth—anddamn,I’m so fucking hard right now.
She gasped when I grabbed her by the waist and led her to straddle my lap, her bare legs tucked against my jean-clad thighs. My hands snaked up under her shirt to cup her breasts. I pulled one side of her bra down to rub her nipple with my thumb, which had her moaning and rotating her hips to rub herself against my hard-on.
I needed to fucking touch her. Now. My hands ran up her smooth thighs, causing her breath to catch. I undid the button and zipper on her shorts so one hand could skate down to find her soaking wet center. I used my thumb to tease her clit and then plunged two fingers deep inside of her.
“Rhett!” she cried once I moved my fingers in and out of her.
Fuck, she’s beautiful like this.
I grabbed a fistful of her hair and gently tugged to expose her neck to me. I trailed kisses down her throat and back up to her ear. Her moans shot straight to my cock, and I struggled not to bury myself inside her as she rocked hard against my hand.
I felt her walls pulling me in deeper, and watching her face, I knew she was close.
“Come for me, Bella,” I commanded.
Her core clenched around me as she came apart in my arms.
I wanted to free my cock and slam deep inside her, but I wasn’t allowing our first time together to be in the front seat of my truck. Reluctantly, I pulled my hand out of her shorts and leaned in to kiss her again, long and slow, as I savored her mouth.
A loud knock cracked against my window, causing Bella to jump. We both looked to see Kyle awkwardly turning around so his back was to us.
She quickly rushed off my lap and back into her seat, fixing her zipper. Her lips were pink and swollen, and the blush on her cheeks grew redder with embarrassment. I wanted to tell Kyle to beat it, strip Bella down, and see what other part of her body would turn pink. She stole a glance in my direction with longing in her eyes. Regret slammed into me, causing the air to leave my lungs. She deserved more than this, so much more.
