lake shore. I was speeding, and I intended to keep speeding until I pulled into my driveway.
“Why are you driving so fast? Can’t wait to get rid of me?” She kept her gaze trained out the passenger side window.
I reached over and put my hand on her upper thigh, giving it a soft squeeze. “It takes fifteen minutes to get home, ten if I drive like this. Which gives us a good ten minutes to park the car, and sneak into your empty house.
“When I said I wasn’t done kissing you, I meant it, baby.”
Chapter Ten
Savy
He called me baby. I freaking melted. For years I’d been waiting for him to see me that way. I kept quiet and kept my hands to myself on the drive home, but I was itching to touch him, to kiss him again. I was shocked that Jeremy had decided to be my hook-up and that he actually wanted me. That I turned him on. It made me feel powerful, and it made me feel alive. Which was exactly what he wanted for me, and what I wanted for myself.
He threw the car in park and then jogged around to my door, opening it and pulling me out. We ran like two little kids, hand in hand to my house. Through the front door, up sixteen stairs and then into my bedroom. The room that I’d slept in since I was six years old when my parents bought this house. The bed on which I watched movies with Nate.
“You know, for someone who has only been kissed once in eighteen years, you’re a good kisser Savannah Nightingale.” Jeremy twirled me around and then backed me up against my closed bedroom door, capturing my mouth with his once again.
He kissed me until I was breathless, then he began placing pecks along the column of my throat. I laughed. “You know I have a bed. Wouldn’t that be much more comfortable than this door?” I swallowed hard, trying to keep my composure while he tortured me with his mouth. This make-out session had turned my brain foggy.
“Mmmm, yes it would be.” His hands grabbed my butt cheeks, pulling me tighter against him. “But if we move to the bed, if we get comfortable, I’ll be tempted to take things further.”
I bit my lip to keep from letting out a moan when his thumb brushed over my nipple through my shirt. Everything on my body felt so sensitive. “We can do that. We can take things further.”
He shook his head, his nose brushing against my chest as he kissed lower. “We really can’t. We’re about out of time, and the next step is one of my favorites. To do it properly, I need to be able to go slow. To take my time.”
His lips moved back to mine. He was towering over me again so he could kiss me deeper. Now I knew what lust felt like, and longing. This was what it meant to want someone. To want to be touched and tasted. The beer, the music, the dancing. The freedom. Of all the experiences Jeremy had gifted me so far, this was my favorite one.
“Sav. You up there?”
Jeremy and I both froze at the sound of Nate’s voice coming from downstairs. I hadn’t heard him pull in, and I hadn’t heard the front door open. I was so completely consumed with Jeremy and what he was making me feel, everything else had fallen away.
I met his gaze. I was panicked, he seemed less affected but still shaken.
He put his lips to my ear and whispered. “Tell him you’re changing and you’ll be right down.”
I turned and cracked my door enough to stick my head out. “Hey, I’m changing, I’ll be down in a sec.”
“Okay. Take your time, I’m going to grab a glass of water.”
I shut the door, throwing the lock and then sagging against it. I picked my head up to find Jeremy at my closet, going through my clothes. “What are you doing?”
He turned to look at me over his shoulder, his hands still on my clothes. “I’m trying to find you something to wear, you don’t want to keep Nathan waiting, do you?” His voiced sounded strained, like he wasn’t pleased with the interruption.
I wanted to think it was because he wanted to stay, but it probably had more to do with the fact that his brother almost caught us.
“I’m not changing with you in here.” I knew that part of hooking up
