“I…” She takes a breath and exhales. “I came home this morning, and she was up, like, I think she was waiting for me. Then she blocked me from getting into my room and smelled me.”
“She what?” I frown.
“Yes, she said she smelled you on me. Then after our phone call this morning…” Her cheeks flush.
Trying not to smile, I take her in my arms. She’s clearly upset. “Go on.” I stroke her hair.
“Apparently, she called my dad and told him I was sleeping with you. And if she told him, I would think she’s telling others.” She sniffs into my chest like this is the worst thing possible.
“So your dad knows about us?”
She raises her head, “Well, no. I mean, I don’t know. My brother just said it was ‘her boyfriend.’”
“I’ll handle Skylar,” I tell her.
“But.” She looks shocked. “You aren’t freaking out?”
“Baby, she has zero proof. Skylar’s up for tenure. She’s not going to say anything that would ruin her career.” I bring her close. “You hungry? How about dinner?”
I kiss her lips, and she leans into me. I rub my nose on hers.
“Brett, isn’t it bad for us to… I mean, isn’t it against the rules?” she mumbles as I brush my lips on hers, then lift my head.
“What? Me fucking you?” I grin as her eyes get big and instantly look at my door.
“It’s one hundred percent against the rules.” I laugh as she stands frozen, as if she’s been blindsided. I grab my keys from the desk, her eyes following me.
“Pizza? Cheeseburger? Salad?”
“Wait.” She holds up her hands. “You don’t care if we get caught?” She says this slowly, as if she’s trying to digest it all.
“No. I care. I just know we’re not getting caught. There’s a difference.” I take her hand, but she pulls it away.
“Brett, are you kidding me? I’ve had a really bad day. Been terrified that you’re going to be ruined because ofme.” She dramatically puts her hand on her chest. “Thatyouwere going to be fired. And you’re a genius, so all of mankind would suffer because ofme.” She exhales and looks up at the ceiling.
My eyes trail down her slender neck to her hard nipples, beckoning me through her tee.
“And all you can say is you know we’re not going to get caught?” she snaps. “And do I want pizza?”
I grin. Can’t help it. “So you don’t want pizza?”
“Oh my God.” She goes to slap my chest, laughing.
I pull her into my arms again, liking everything about her.
“Pizza is great.” She rolls her eyes, looking up at me.
“Look, why don’t you pack a bag, and we can hide out at my house. You can study, and I’ll work between your legs…” I waggle my eyebrows at her.
Pressing her lips together, she doesn’t full-on smile.
“I hope you feel bad,” she huffs at last. “I’m pretty sure I failed my physics test worrying about you.”
“I do. I’ll make it up to you, I promise.” I step back, holding the door open for her as I watch her face fight a battle that’s futile. I can’t stop this fucking need any more than she can. I cock my head, my eyes narrowing as we both stare at each other. Our energy thick, erotic…
“Well?” I demand.
She takes another deep breath, straightens her shoulders, then walks out, head held high, and my heart gets that weird ache again as I follow her to the exit.
