But I couldn’t forget it wasn’t his house, and Heath could show up at any minute. It felt dangerous and exciting.

Chapter 9

Cole

As I kissed Daphne, the conversation with Emmett at the reception ran through my mind.

He’d asked what I was doing.

I sat back nonchalantly as I could in my chair. “Daphne doesn’t know many people here, and her friends are with their significant others. I’m just keeping her entertained, being a gentleman.”

“I don’t believe that for one second.”

I leaned forward on my elbows. “What’s the saying? Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer?”

Emmett’s eyes widened as if he hadn’t expected me to say that. “So there’s nothing going on between you two?”

I shook my head and laughed. “How could there be? She’s a Calloway, and I’m a Monroe.”

“And don’t you forget it,” he’d said before he walked away.

I dropped my forehead to Daphne’s, out of breath like I’d just run a marathon. I wanted her, and it went beyond family feuds and secret relationships.

“Are you okay?” she asked, her fingers tangled in the hair on my neck.

“I’ve never been better.” I sat back on my heels. “But you’re wearing too many clothes.

She laughed as she sat up, and I helped her lower the zipper and pull the dress off. She was left in just satin panties.

“You’re absolutely gorgeous.” Her breasts were heavy and full. I sucked one nipple into my mouth while I played with the other. She held me to her with her hand on my neck.

There was nowhere else I wanted to be than in her arms. I dipped my hand under her panties to see if she was wet. She was dripping. “Have you been thinking of me?”

“Every night,” she admitted as she looked up at me.

My dick was aching. “You touch yourself when you think of me?”

She gasped when my finger entered her. “Yes.”

“You use a vibrator?” I had a feeling she did.

Her cheeks flushed, but I wasn’t sure if it was my question or the way I was working her over. “Uh-huh.”

“You fill yourself up with that vibrator and remember what my cock feels like inside of you?”

Her eyes were glazed over, and her chest heaved with her breath. “It doesn’t compare to you.”

“Of course it doesn’t. Nothing does.” It might have sounded cocky, but I was confident we were made for each other. “I want to make you feel good.”

I removed my fingers, ignoring her whimper, then pulled her panties down her legs. “We only have tonight, and I want to make the most of it.”

“I thought we would see each other again.”

I eased between her legs. “I want that, but I don’t know what’s going to happen. Can we act as if this is all we have?”

She nodded jerkily. “I can do that.”

I licked her, my hands under her to keep her lifted for me. I didn’t want her pulling away or escaping from this. What we had transcended anything I’d ever felt before. I wanted her to feel every emotion, every touch.
