“You want me?” I bore into her. “Take it. I’m all yours.”
I shift, rolling my hips to tease her with the reminder of what I’d offered the other night in her kitchen.
I lied earlier.
This.
Her soft little mewl of a moan is the sexiest thing I’ve ever heard as she bites down on her bottom lip,feelingme that much more. Her pupils have inked her irises to nothing but pure ebony.
She wants me, I see it, but I gawk, wanting her back as painfully.
My stomach flips, the words hidden around her smirk. I’m held captive by her smile. “Finn, I—”
“—Dinner’s on me tonight, guys. Congratulations!” Eli murmurs joyfully as his hand pats my back.
Fuck!Seriously?
How many times do my friends plan on cockblocking me today? First, Rory, after Hailey was about to tell me why the heck she was so upset this morning, and nowthis? My chest strains with fury.
My juju freakin’ sucks.
“Sounds good.” I half chuckle, half huff. Despair layers my words.
Hailey wiggles, so I let go, her feet hitting the sand with a thud while I do my best to swallow down my raging emotions. The sound matches the solid punch to my ribs.
The moment is more than broken, it’s pulverized.
Cole taps me on the back, and Hailey’s dad gives her a subtle congratulatory hug. Rory is still over at the bleachers with a propped-up foot and Aiden in her lap. She gives me a thumbs-up, but I can’t muster the energy to return it.
We accept the trophy, but what I really want as a reward is shredding Hailey’s tight spandex shorts straight off her ass.
I’ve completely given up hope on that dream by the time I reach my car. Climbing in, I pull the snug pink shirt from my body and fling it to the back seat in a worse tantrum than my two-year-old son.
My finger is at the ignition, ready to meet up with everyone else at the diner, when the driver’s side door is ripped open. Hailey’s eyes are as wild as her cheeks are flushed and full.
“I convinced everyone else I’d drive separately,” she pants, winded. My ribs expand, doubling in buoyancy at the intoxicating sight. Her eyes glimmer with greed. “You said all I had to do was ask?”
I gulp, clipping a curt nod.
The air thickens around us like an invisible haze when her face lowers. The beating of her heart as untamed as her flushed skin and feral eyes.
Briefly, I follow her line of sight, remembering I no longer have a shirt on. Solid muscle and tan, smooth skin have her whole focus.
Hailey’s throat bobs on a swallow, but it’s so rough it’s as if she’s in physical pain.
The silence is earsplitting as her face twists.
I don’t move a muscle, an inch, zilch. I do nothing but stay stagnant in my seat. One second, she’s watching me, then the next, the thin line of her sanity just…
…Snaps.
“Screw it,” Hailey heaves, mounting me as she climbs inside, slamming the door behind her without remorse or guilt.
