you."
All right, I couldn't mess this up. I licked my bottom lip and took a deep breath. It wouldn't hurt to see what a kiss would be like. I closed the distance between us, and my lips touched his. They were warm and soft, and he tasted like the chocolate ice cream he'd just eaten.
He groaned as he scooted closer to me and deepened the kiss. His tongue gently ran across my lips, asking for entrance.
The kiss was nice, but not earth-shattering like the one with Liam. Ugh! There was his name once again seared into my brain. I'd never have him. Somehow, I needed to move beyond it.
Kai wrapped his arms around my waist, and the musky scent of his arousal filled the air.
No, I had to stop. I couldn't do this. I wasn't ready. Right when I was about to pull back, the door to the room burst open.
Kai pulled back and startled. "What the hell?"
Liam rushed into the room, his eyes locked on Kai and then me.
"Your sister isn't here." Kai didn't move away from me but stayed plastered to my side. "She's staying with a friend."
"Good. Now you won't be either." Liam came closer and glared at Kai. "Get the fuck out … Now!"
"That's not how this works." Kai stood and stepped in front of me. "Where are your goons anyway?"
"That isn't any of your business." He growled and grabbed Kai's arm, yanking him away from me. "You're going to leave right now or I'll make you." Liam's voice was laced with his alpha will.
"No." Kai's eyes diverted as he tried not to succumb to the pressure.
"It’ll be all right." Though I tried not to show it, my heart was pounding, and it had everything to do with the angry, sexy man standing in front of me. "You can go."
Kai turned around. "But I don't..."
"Go." Pure command laced Liam’s words, and his nostrils flared. "Now."
"If you need me..." Kai turned to me.
"It's fine." I forced a smile. Kai needed to leave before he got hurt. "Please, go."
Kai slowly walked out the door and shut it behind him.
Liam stayed where he’d been when Kai was still here. Rage, torment, and the musky scent of arousal filled the air between us.
This wasn't going to end well, not for either one of us.
"You kissed him." His words were full of accusation as he kept breathing heavily. "Your lips touched his."
"Why shouldn't I have?" If he wasn't going to claim me, to make me his, there was absolutely no reason why I shouldn't try moving on. "You told me that we wouldn't happen ever."
"And we can't." Those three words weren't nearly as strong or convincing this time.
"Then why are you here? You should leave." I held his gaze and lifted my chin.
In a flash, he lifted me up and slammed me against one of the walls. His lips crashed down on mine, and my skin lit on fire.
He pulled back. "One night. We both get this out of our systems."
The stagnant taste of his lie filled the air between us. He knew it didn't work that way, but he was wanting to pretend, and dammit so did I. I wanted this so badly even though my head told me to reject him. All rational thought had gone out the window. "Deal."
His blue eyes turned cobalt, and his lips were on me again.
Desperate to taste him, I opened my mouth and moaned as his tongue stroked mine.
Pulling me flush against his body, he growled. "I've got to get his scent off you."
"I'm okay with that." Our lips connected again, and I wrapped my legs around his waist.
"Let's go to your room. I don't want my sister smelling me all over the couch." He pushed his arousal against me. He was hard and ready.
"Okay." I'd regret it in the morning when he left. His smell would be everywhere, but right now, I didn't give a damn.
He carried me down the hall and into my bedroom. Kicking the door shut, he reluctantly removed one of his hands from me to lock it.
My lips were glued on his as if he were the oxygen that I needed to breathe. He closed the distance to my bed and threw me on it.
This wasn't going to be loving and gentle but rather hard, fast, and desperate.
He yanked off my shirt and unsnapped my bra. He leaned over, taking one of my nipples into his mouth, and slowly made me come unglued. As he continued to suck
