Worried.
He was worried about me.
And I liked that a lot more than I should have.
His head turned, and his gaze found mine. His shoulders instantly relaxed, and a small smile tugged at his lips.
“So, you like him, don’t you?”
“I guess I do,” I admitted. Because I knew better how this would go if I didn’t give in right away. Lottie would keep poking at me until I relented eventually. It was easier just to admit it right away.
“Gah! Oh, my God. I love that so much for you.”
“Ah, thanks,” I said, unsure how I was supposed to respond to that. “But circling back to why I actually called… I want you to install some cameras,” I told her.
“I have to talk to my roommates,” she said. “It’s their privacy that is being invaded too.”
“It’s their safety we are talking about too.”
“Okay, Mom,” she said in a long-suffering voice. “I promise, I will talk to them. Now go have fun with your guy,” she said. “Love you!”
“Love you too,” I said, hanging up.
Your guy.
I liked that more than I should have as I sat back, watching him through the window as he unpacked his bags, finding myself excited about what he was going to make me for dinner.
When he was done, he made his way out back, tossing a bag of sour candies up and down in his hand, then slapping them down on the table beside my phone.
“I almost forgot them,” he admitted. “Talking to your sister?” he asked, pulling the other chair in front of me.
“Yeah. I just didn’t want her showing up at my house right now. And I tried to talk her into cameras. She said she has to talk to her roommates.”
“She’ll reason with them,” he said, reaching outward toward my knees, his fingers dancing over my skin.
Despite the heat, little goosebumps spread down my arms and legs and a little shiver moved through me.
“Did you get all the stuff for dinner?”
“Yep. And dessert,” he said as his fingers moved further up still, toying with the frayed edges of my cut-off jeans.
“What are you making?” I asked, hearing the breathlessness in my own voice.
“It’s a surprise,” he said as his hands moved from my thighs to my chair, grabbing it, and pulling it closer to his, our knees touching.
“Tease,” I said as my heart tripped into overdrive.
“Yeah,” he agreed. “Got a lot of teasing in mind,” he added as his hands sank into my hips, and pulled me forward until I was straddling him on his chair.
My hair fell forward into his face, and he reached up to tuck some behind my ear before his hand shifted to the back of my neck, using it to draw me down toward his.
Our lips met with a jolt that moved down my spine, a sizzling, electric sensation that had me inching forward, my chest crushed to his.
Finn’s hands moved to my ass, sinking in, and dragging me down onto his lap more firmly, making me feel his cock pressing against me.
My moan was muffled by his lips as I ground against him.
His tongue moved inside to slide over mine as I continued to rock against his hardness, but it only managed to make the ache intensify.
Finn’s teeth nipped my lower lip as his hands sank more tightly into my ass.
His body tilted forward as he started to get to his feet.
My arms and legs wrapped around him as he walked us back toward the house.
We barely made it into the kitchen before he was slamming me against the door, his hips rocking against me.
A frustrated growl escaped me as his lips went to my neck, his lips and tongue teasing as his scruff scraped over the sensitive skin.
I wanted to feel that between my breasts, down my belly, up my inner thighs.
As if sensing the course of my thoughts, Finn turned, laying me down across the kitchen island, the cool quartz meeting my overheated skin.
But as Finn’s head lowered, kissing between my breasts, the heat bloomed to overtake me completely.
His hands moved out, grabbing the front of my tank top along with the cups of my bra, yanking them both down to expose me.
There was just a second where the chill in the room made my nipples twist into tighter points before he was lowering down, his lips sucking one into his mouth as his hand covered the other. Stroking and rolling with his fingers as his lips sucked and his tongue circled.
I arched upward as he moved across my chest, continuing the torment.
It was so much, yet not nearly enough.
Desire was a clawing, aching need that only seemed to get more acute with each passing second.
Finn lifted suddenly, pulling me up by the front of my tank top, then pulling it up and off before reaching behind to remove my bra as well.
