what we were doing. I’m the one who straddled you, remember?”
I laugh. “How could I forget?” I say as I run my hands over her hips. “So, what is it then?”
I can see the blush rising across her face. “I guess I’m just embarrassed we got caught. I’m not sure how we do this. I mean, I know you called me your girlfriend, but are you okay with what just happened in there? Are you okay that they caught us?” She nervously chews on her bottom lip as she focuses on the ceiling. “Is it okay if people see us like that?” This last question is almost a whisper.
I’m dumbfounded. This beautiful, smart, incredibly sexy girl thinks I want to keep her a secret. Did she not hear me last night when I told her I was all in? Hell yes, I want people to see, especially all of those fuckers who watch her every move. She’s mine, damn it. She’s staring at the ceiling so I sit up on my elbow, I’m now looking down at her. I have her full attention. “Allison, you and I are together now. You agreed to be my girlfriend, and I refuse to let you take it back.” I kiss her nose. “I want the entire world to know we’re together. I want you, all of you, and the more people who know you’re mine, the better. So, to answer your questions—no, I’m not embarrassed, and hell yes, I want them to see us.” With that I kiss her hard. She immediately opens her mouth for me, and my tongue finds its way into her warmth. Allison moans deep in her throat, and if I wasn’t already harder than a rock, I would’ve been in this moment. I find myself on top of her, bracing my weight with my hands on either side of her head. Her legs fall open and invite me in. Even though she is wearing sweats, and even through my shorts, I can feel her heat.
Somehow, I’m able to see through the hunger I have for her to realize we’re in a compromising position. I want things with Allison to be perfect. Her first time needs to be special. I slowly end the kiss and drop my head to her chest. “We need to stop, before I’m not able to.”
Allison lifts her hips into mine. “What if I don’t want to stop?”
Holy shit, she’s trying to kill me. “I want nothing more than to bury myself deep inside of you and never leave. What I don’t want is my sister and two best friends in the next room. I want our first time together to be special.” I roll off the bed and stand up, pulling her up with me. I draw her into a hug so tight I’m probably cutting off her air supply. I can’t get her close enough. “You’re special, Allison. You’re not just some girl. I need to prove to you how important you are to me.”
She places her hand on the back of my neck and pulls my lips back to hers. I gently run my tongue along her bottom lip before biting down gently. She moans, and I know I need to slow down, so I kiss her lips softly one more time before pulling back. Fuck, I don’t want to stop kissing her.
I cradle her cheeks. “I want nothing more than to stay here in this bed with you all day, but we need to go shopping.” I place one more chaste kiss on her lips and pull away. “Now, let’s get you some breakfast. You have a phone call to make before we head out.”
Chapter 19
Allison
I’m mortified when everyone walks in on me grinding on Liam. What the hell has gotten into me? I have my first official boyfriend for less than twenty-four hours and I turn into a slut. Ugh! I know slut is pushing it, but that’s exactly what I feel like when they walk in on us. Then I realize Liam might not want them seeing us like this and my embarrassment rises even more. I can feel the heat in my face, so I keep it buried in Liam’s neck. Not that I’m complaining about that part.
Liam carries me to his room and cuddles with me. Yes, my six-foot-four boyfriend is a big teddy bear. He reassures me he wants me, and he wants the entire world to know it. I must admit, I melt when he
