My mouth falls, and I don’t know if I want to growl or cry. How dare he try to get me into bed and then mock me when I reject him.
What the fuck happened to him?
I don’t realize I’m tearing up until I blink. “Did you really kill someone?” I ask him.
“All of your careful plans shot to shit,” he continues, ignoring me.
I laugh bitterly, letting my eyes fall to the ground. What am I supposed to do? Hugo Navarre is coming after him.
And he just wants to fuck?
Lifting my eyes, I lock on him. “You used to feel like a giant next to me.” The words taste like ash in my mouth. “You knew everything, and you never seemed afraid. Strong and steady, and God, so tall.”
He seemed so tall to me.
“But a child’s brain sees what it wants,” I tell him, “and I actually don’t like you much at all.”
His breathing remains steady as he continues to step toward me.
“All we do is fight,” I point out. “We don’t mesh well.”
Vomit rises up my throat saying the words.
He whispers, “No, we don’t.”
And he takes another step closer.
I draw in a breath, retreating as he advances.
I swallow. “I was wrong to hold you to an ideal you never were.”
He nods.
Another step.
What happens now? Are they coming for him?
What happens tomorrow? Will he go home to Dubai?
“You’re different.” I pinch my brow together, feeling the sob rising up from my chest. “Like a ghost, fading in and out.”
“Yeah.”
I don’t know him. Not really. Did I ever?
“And I don’t think you like me much, either.” I harden my tone. “I’m childish to you.”
He cocks his head, his eyes never leaving me. They haven’t left me since he caught me minutes ago.
Is Hugo going to hurt him? What if he fucking dies?
“I’m childish to you with my little fantasies,” I tell him.
His misty eyes follow me as I move and he moves.
“Of you rescuing me from the rain and taking the long way home,” I admit. “Of you getting drunk one night, unable to resist anymore and holding me in a dark corner.”
His chest rises and falls heavier, his face pained and desperate.
I stop stepping away from him. “Of you teaching me how to come with a man inside of me.”
He closes in, taking my face in one hand and pressing his open mouth to my temple. His hot lips blaze a fire over my skin.
I want him. I’ve always wanted him, and if anything happens, I want to love him for just one night. I want Lucas Morrow to have me first.
Sliding my hands up his chest and around his neck, I press myself into his body. “Teach me how to come with a man inside me,” I whisper. “Just once. Just the first time.”
“Ah, fuck,” he groans, lifting me into his arms again, one hand under my ass and the other behind my knee. My mouth crashes to his, the hair on the back of my neck rising with the heat engulfing us.
Just once...
Walking me backward, he presses me into the door of my brother’s car.
I can barely breathe as he crushes me, bearing down and diving into my mouth, taking me over. His tongue flicks mine, sending a current shooting down my body, straight to my clit. I shudder, gasping.
A fire sparks in his eyes, and he covers my lips again, his growl falling down my throat as he thrusts between my legs.
“Ah,” I moan.
Shit.
I break the kiss, twisting my neck to search for others who might see us. We can’t be here. I’ll be too loud.
I wouldn’t put it past Noah and Farrow to be watching from where they stand guard in the woods. If they’re not killing each other, that is.
And not to mention my brothers and their kids somewhere…
Lucas guides my mouth back to his.
“We should go somewhere else,” I whisper between kisses.
But he trails his lips down my body, kneeling and sinking his mouth into my stomach through my dress. He tugs my panties down my legs.
Oh. God.
Lifting his gaze to mine, he lifts my hem, my eyes widening as he covers me with his mouth.
His hot tongue presses against my clit, and he starts sucking, shock racking through me. Gripping the car behind me, I let my head fall back and my eyes close, cool air caressing my upper body.
My worry is forgotten, everything under my skin coming alive as heat builds low in my belly.
“Don’t stop,” I beg.
He sucks slow but hard, swirling his tongue around my nub, and my smile almost turns into tears because it feels so good. He lifts my leg and hangs it over his shoulder, sinking his fingers into my flesh, and I don’t watch him. I don’t open my eyes. I’m just in it. Only feeling it and him and loving being kissed this way. For the first time.
