turned upside down because of a beautiful girl consuming my every thought, every emotion.” I take a deep breath, this is it; I’m going to let this girl in. I’m giving her the power to destroy me. “I’m taking a chance too, beautiful girl, but you have to take one on me as well. We’ll be in this together, you and me. You’re all that matters,” I whisper as I crush my mouth to hers. I need to taste her. I need her to understand this isn’t a game, not just a hookup. She is mine—I want her to be mine, need her to be mine.

Chapter 17

Allison

I’m trying to process what Liam just said. He tells me I’m all that matters, and then he crushes his mouth to mine. I moan deep in my throat. I can’t control it, even if I wanted to. The taste of his lips on mine is annihilating my common sense. I don’t want to fight this anymore. I want him and his kisses. I reach up and wrap my arms around his neck, pulling him in as close as I can get him. He drags his lips away, and I groan at the loss. He continues his assault on my senses by placing kisses on my cheek, down my neck. He pulls away, breathing heavy, as his hands make their way to the hem of my shirt. Without question or thought, I raise my arms in the air. Liam gently raises my shirt over my head. He then takes my hand and helps me stand. I watch as he places kisses on my collarbone, down my chest, working his way down my stomach. Once he reaches the waist of my jeans, he looks up at me with hooded eyes, seeking my approval. I can only nod my head as I run my hands through his hair. Liam slowly unbuttons my jeans and slides them down as he peppers kisses on my thighs.

Once my jeans hit my ankles, I step out of them with Liam’s assistance. He stands and wraps his right arm around my waist while placing his left hand behind my neck to pull me close to him. He crashes his lips to mine and kisses me with so much passion that if he wasn’t holding onto me, I would fall to the floor in a puddle of lust. I never want him to stop. I want to spend every second of every day wrapped in his arms being consumed by his kisses.

Suddenly, there’s a knock at the door. “Ash, you guys done in there?” Aiden yells through the door.

Liam pulls away and places his forehead against mine. “He has impeccable timing. You might want to answer him, baby. I don’t think he would trust me if I said you were fine.”

“Give us a minute, Ace!” I yell back. How I’m able to find my voice and use it is beyond me. What started out as me flirting with Liam, asking him to help me change, turned into confessions and scorching kisses. I’m perfectly capable of changing on my own, my hand doesn’t even hurt. What has gotten into me?

“What are we doing, Liam? What does this mean?”

Liam stares at me intently. “I would like to think I was kissing my girlfriend while helping her change,” he sheepishly replies.

“Girlfriend?” I whisper.

“Girlfriend,” he whispers back in confirmation.

I try to control my emotions at this sexy man calling me his girlfriend. I’m also trying really hard not to let my insecurities consume me. I just had my first kiss a few months ago and now here I stand in nothing but my underwear with Liam’s sexy body wrapped around me, and he’s calling me his girlfriend. Holy Shit! I should be nervous being exposed to him, my first time ever being exposed to a guy. However, I’m not nervous. Liam makes me feel safe, protected, wanted.

I take a deep breath. I’m tired of fighting it. I’m going to take a chance on Liam, just like he asked me to. I just hope my heart can take it when he walks away and realizes I’m not what he wants after all. I take another deep breath. “Well, I guess you better help your girlfriend get changed before Aiden starts beating down the door.”

The smile that lights up Liam’s face is one I’ve never seen before. He kisses me tenderly, then engulfs me in his big strong arms for the greatest hug I’ve ever received. “You’re really
