Forbidden With Me - Leigh Lennon Page 0,24
door of my dorm room, and it opens with ease. I twist my body around. Wells’s gorgeous but imposing frame is in front of me, a look of worry etching onto his lips little by little. “You followed me back to campus. You insisted you’d walk me to my dorm, to my room. Are you satisfied now?”
He points at the door, and he’s mad out of his mind, right? “What, are you going to inspect my room and look under my bed now?” With one hitch of his eyebrow, I know he’s caught onto a hint of sarcasm that really isn’t a hint. It’s as obvious as he is beautiful. And this beautiful man wants to protect me.
“Okay, smart-ass, that’s enough sass out of your mouth. And, yes, I need to check your room.” His alpha tendency is a turn-on.
I squeeze my eyes shut. “One little problem. I threw such a fit with my roommate about not letting others into our dorm, so I can’t let you in.”
“Tell her tough shit, and anyway, I’m doing it under the guise that I’m a cop.”
“And you’re controlling,” I counter. If this isn’t already an impossible situation, Greenlyn comes strolling down the hallway, but this time, she’s in more than just a towel—thank fuck.
“Oh, hi, Detective,” she croons. She’d pretty much jumped from the room the second Wells came in to break the trance I had been in. I think I scared her and wouldn’t have been surprised if she had moved in the ten hours I was gone.
“Greenlyn,” Wells begins, his sweet tone highlighting his upcoming request to sweep the room. “I understand you two have an understanding that no others are allowed in your space, but do you mind if I come in and check it just for my own peace of mind?”
Greenlyn darts her eyes to mine, a broad grin covers her face. “Malia has this rule of no others in our dorm, which I told her I’d respect. However, there’s always room for Malia’s Police Angel.”
I cock my tired head to the side, and Greenlyn can read my perplexed as hell and you better spill it right now look. Wells is within inches of me, and when I turn my head to his, I can sense my face redden, yet he’s smiling from ear to ear.
Greenlyn’s features soften. “Sorry, Malia, it’s what you referred to him after you sort of zoned out while I was calling him.”
Maybe I’m wrong about Greenlyn. She’s not so bad, not after she stayed to comfort me until my angel had arrived.
She directs her attention back to Wells, who’s smiling over what he knows I called him as a little kid. “Wipe that look off your face,” I demand. I open the door and wave my hand toward the open space to grant him access with Greenlyn right behind him.
“Now that I have you two together, I want to talk safety.” Greenlyn’s eyes widen, a sparkling aqua blue framed by her perfectly platinum blonde hair, sitting right above her lush tits, highlighting every inch of them. She’s paying attention to Wells, hanging on every word he says, but not because she’s scared. No, she knows a hot man when she sees one, and Wells is beyond the typical adolescent wannabe-a-man kind of handsome gentleman girls our age are used to. Yeah, I find his words mesmerizing, too.
“Safety? How, Detective?” Her voice pitches, and she bats her long eyelashes at him.
“At night, I don’t want you guys leaving the dorm unless you’re with a group of people. Never put your drink down at a party, never accept a drink from another person, and make sure when you open the door, you know who it is.”
I’m watching Greenlyn the entire time. “Is Malia in danger?” She’s sincere in her question.
I wave my hand, getting her attention. “No, his captain thinks it’s just a prank from someone who knows who I am, but I don’t want anyone knowing, so can you keep it a secret?”
She smiles at Wells, then back at me. “No one in the dorm room, check. No telling anyone about your past, check.” She curtsies, and fuck, she’s so pretty. This is the type of girl I think Wells would be attracted to if she were older. Not like the plain Jane me. “Anything else?”
“I reserve the right to add to it at any time,” he teases back, “but for now, you’re spot-on.”
Wells clears his throat. “So, now that you two are tucked in
