Page 50 of Broken Love

“No.”

I tighten my grip around her wrist. “Then, we’ll just have to sit here all night and you can explain to everyone else what we were doing out here when they catch us in the morning.”

“You really have no sense of decency, do you?”

I shrug. “It comes and goes.”

She tugs her arm, but I don’t let go. “Carson.”

“Just admit it, Caleb.”

“What? That you’re an asshole? Done. You’re an asshole.”

“Admit that you kissed me, you liked it, and that you’ve been avoiding me ever since because you’re scared you’ll do it again.”

“Yeah, you’ve really got that like-an-adult thing down.”

I sigh and release her. “Fine. Don’t admit it. Doesn’t change the truth and we both know it.”

Her eyes twitch with anger as I ease back into the seat. I even rest my hands behind my head to sell the point home.

I kissed her. She kissed me. She wants more.

“You’re wrong,” she says.

“Oh, yeah?” I smirk.

“Yeah.”

“Then, why haven’t you left yet?”

She grits her perfect teeth. “You are so annoying.”

I laugh. “You’re stalling.”

“For what?”

I grab her again and pull her across the seat.

“Carson—”

I take her face in my hands. Her warm cheeks tickle my palms as I place my lips against hers, knowing full well she’s capable of breaking my nose with a single punch. Still… feeling her again, tasting her, kissing her, even for a moment…

It’s worth the risk.

My heart slams in my chest. Desire overwhelms fear. My blood runs hot and fast, so quick it leaves my digits numb against the soft skin of her face. I suck lightly on her bottom lip as a tremor shakes her entire body.

Caleb opens her jade eyes and stares into mine. I wish I could be a fly on the walls of her brain. It’d be nice to know if I should block my balls right about now.

She licks her lips, trembling softly in my hands, and leans over to kiss me back. Just like the other night, she parts her lips and I feel the warm jerk of her tongue against mine. I pull her closer and she straddles my waist, settling into my lap like a perfect puzzle piece.

A moan escapes her throat, tickling my lips as it vibrates off hers. She slides her hard body against me. I twitch as every drop of blood inside travels south. I feel behind her, gliding my fingers beneath her shirt to touch her smooth skin.

She reaches for my belt and my muscles lock.

Holy shit.

“Boxcar.”
