“Because my brother-in-law gave it to me, you dumbass!” I mutter, shoving him away.
“What?”
“Exactly what you heard. There is no other guy. There has never been another guy. This year was supposed to be aboutme, but then you walked into my life and started to boss me around with your demands and games.”
“Birdy…” He tries to reach for my hand, but I push it away. I was so done with him.
So. Freaking. Done.
“No, you don’t get to Birdy-me. You can’t just enter my life and expect me to fall in line with your expectations. You drive me crazy. You crash into my music room time, but then you sit down and play piano with me. You go out of your way to help me with the freaking list, only to get angry at me when I do exactly what you want me to do, and… Ugh, I’m just so done with it all.”
“I’m angry because I hate seeing another guy’s name on you!” Sebastian yells. The heat of his body slams into me as he closes the distance between us. I bump against the counter, his hands falling on either side of me, encompassing me in. “I could say the exact same thing about you. You drive me crazy, and I don’t know what to do about it. I don’t know how to deal with all of this. I’ve never felt toward another woman what I feel every time you’re around me, and it drives me crazy.Youdrive me crazy, Penelope.”
“Sebastian…” His name is barely a whisper, but I don’t know what to say.
“Do it,” he whispers, his hand cupping my cheek.
Tomorrow, Birdy. Kiss me tomorrow, and I’ll give you everything you want,the words he told me the other night ring in my head loud and clear.
I shake my head. “You’re sick.”
We’re so close my lips are brushing against his. Sebastian rubs his thumb over my cheekbone, soft tingles running under my skin from his touch.
“I’m fine.”
“You were burning up just last night. I’d hardly call that fine.”
“Well, today, I’m burning for a completely different reason,” he murmurs, his voice low and husky. I press my thighs together, feeling that ache between my legs. “Do it. Unless… you changed your mind?”
Changed my mind?
I want to laugh at the absurdity of the statement. As if that is even possible.
“I didn’t change my mind.”
I raise my hand, skimming the tip of my finger over the underside of his lip, feeling the soft texture of his mouth. His warm breath touches my skin, and I can feel my heartbeat speed up as I rise on the tips of my toes and close what little distance is left between us.
The first touch of Sebastian’s mouth on mine is pure fire.
I tried to convince myself that our first kiss was just a coincidence. A mix of all that pent-up tension between us and the alcohol, and that it couldn’t have possibly been that good, but I was wrong. So damn wrong. Because this one feels even better.
I swear I can feel the air sizzle between us, scorching hot, not that either of us moves away. His lips tremble underneath mine as I gently press them in a soft kiss.
His body feels solid against mine, the heat radiating off of him and into me, making my blood rush faster.
Sebastian lets out a low groan, his chest vibrating under my touch. He almost sounds like he’s in pain. I pull back slightly, the sound of my heartbeat echoing in my eardrums so loudly it takes me a moment to register his words.
“Screw this.”
I suck in a breath, expecting him to push me away, but he doesn’t. No, his hands fall on my hips, and he hoists me onto the counter. My legs fall open as he slides between them. He grips my cheeks, and his mouth crashes against mine, sucking all the air out of my lungs.
His mouth slides over mine, nibbling at my lower lip, and it’s like I’m burning from the inside out. The scruffy stubble covering his cheeks scratches my skin as he tilts my head just slightly and deepens the kiss.
My lips part, his tongue meeting mine, and I swear I can feel my body vibrate with need for this man. This is more than just a kiss.
It’s everything.
Any thread of restraint he was holding onto has snapped, and he possesses me in the most primal way possible.
