“If you don’t want to tell me now, I’ll definitely get it out of you one way or another later.”
I glare at him, but my traitor body squirms in my seat. He knows he’s got me. Or does he? “Maybe I’ll stay in my room tonight.” See how he likes that. I take another bite of my sandwich.
“Good luck with that, Kitten.” I’ve been in his bed every night. We've developed a routine. It’s been nice. Too nice, which freaks me out. Things always go wrong. Nothing good ever lasts for me. So I’m always waiting for the other shoe to drop.
“I’ll do whatever I want,” I huff.
Noble smirks. “What is it you want to do, Kitten?” His hand goes under the table to rest on my thigh. He pulls my legs apart as his hand drifts up the inside till he gets to the edge of my jean shorts.
“How do you do that?” I let my legs fall open even more, knowing what Noble can do to my body. He’s making me grow addicted to him, but what happens when this ends? Everything ends. I don’t fit in his world. I have no clue what world I belong to, but I know for a fact that it’s not his. “Be bossy and sweet at the same time?”
“I do what I think my girl needs.” He leans over and presses another kiss to my mouth. “I still haven’t dealt with your roommate's boyfriend. Till then, you stay with me.” He has no idea he dealt with him a few moments ago.
“How are you going to deal with him?”
“Not for you to worry about.”
“You wanna know what I think? That you’re not going to deal with him, and that way I can’t leave your bed.”
“That sounds pretty damn good to me.”
I roll my eyes. “He’s not worth your time.”
“You’re right. There are other ways I’d rather spend my time.” He pushes my shorts up, and finding the seam of my panties, he dips his fingers inside. I close my eyes and take a deep breath when he finds my clit.
“Noble.”
“I know, Kitten.” He pulls his hand out and rights my shorts. “No one sees or hears you come but me.” He brings his fingers to his mouth, licking them. “Just stealing a taste of my dessert.”
“You’re terrible.” I fight a smile.
“You love it.” He winks at me.
I do. That’s the problem.
CHAPTER 15
NOBLE
Nathan walks out of his night class with his hand on the ass of some girl that is not his girlfriend. He chats her up for a minute before waving her off. Once he’s alone, I peel away from the tree I was using as support and approach him.
“Nice night, isn’t it?” I say. Autumn and I went for a walk earlier before she went to my room to study. I told her I was going to work out.
He looks up from his phone and does a double-take when he recognizes me. “Noble? What’re you doing here? I thought you were a business major. This is the Arts & Sciences department.”
“Let’s take a walk.” I motion toward a path under a cove of trees that leads to the athletic center. The overhanging leaves provide a pretty canopy during the day and a dark umbrella at night.
“Is this about the Sigma Theta party this weekend because I’ve been wanting to go to one of your events. My past invites must’ve been lost in the campus mail.”
“Something like that.” I stop halfway down where the shadows are the darkest. I can barely make out the features in Nathan’s face. When the invitation isn’t forthcoming, I sense his unease.
He laughs nervously. “What? Are you going to beat me up?”
He sounds like a tough guy, but I can tell he’s one mean word away from pissing his pants.
“Physical violence is an easy route, but it really doesn’t have a lasting effect. Me breaking your nose isn’t going to change your behavior.”
There’s an audible sigh of relief that fills the space between us. “Then why are we here?”
“Because I believe in delivering bad news face to face.” I get straight to the point. “This is your last week of classes. I don’t know what you plan to tell your parents, but I’d spend the next few days thinking of some good excuse.”
This time his chuckle is even more forced. “Yeah, right. I paid my tuition, and I haven’t done anything wrong.”
“I used to think that I could turn a blind eye to people like you, but I was wrong. You and Rob Track, are not just assholes, you’re dangerous assholes. You make women feel unsafe, and I don’t like that.”
“What did that bitch say to you? 'Cause it’s all lies. I’ve got a girlfriend.”
I shove my hands in my pockets so I don’t punch this guy’s face in. “She didn’t say anything to me, but the fact that you’re bringing her up means you know you did wrong. You’re not man enough to change, so I’m going to remove you from the equation.” I give him a chin nod and walk away.
