“Tanna, you in there?” A familiar voice breaks through the pounding in my head.
“Luke?” I push myself up, my knees still shaking as I make my way to the door and open it.
“You expecting someone else, babe?” His smile drops as his eyes rake over my face. “What’s wrong? What happened?” he asks, his glare shooting behind me like he’s going to find the answers there.
“N-nothing. I’m fine,” I tell him. My heart is slowing down and the fear is seeping away.
“Don’t lie to me. What happened?”
“I didn’t know it was you. I heard footsteps and I just panicked for a bit. It’s not a big deal.”
Luke takes a step forward, and it’s as if he’s moving in slow motion as his arms wrap around me and he pulls me up against his body. “I’m not going to let anyone get to you, Tanna,” he says. “I promise.”
I let myself sink into his embrace. “How was your flight?” I ask, changing the subject while also trying to distract myself from the fact that I’m in nothing but a towel. Pressed up against the one guy I never could stop dreaming about.
Well, me and probably ninety percent of the female population. I’ve seen the headlines. Luke has been named the NHL’s most eligible bachelor. Not that I’m surprised. If hockey doesn’t work out for him, he could easily make it as a model.
“It was fine,” Luke replies, holding me tighter. “You’re shivering.”
“I know.” I tell myself to step back. To move away. But my legs don’t follow my mental instructions and decide to stay rooted to the spot.
I’m having feelings in places I have no business having feelings. I told Aliyah I wasn’t ready for any kind of relationship, that I couldn’t trust myself yet. I know that I love Luke. I always have. But I can’t trust that love right now.
“You’re okay.” Luke presses his lips to the top of my head and I make the mistake of looking up at him, staring into those green eyes of his.
“I will be,” I say, trying to believe my own words.
“I’ll make sure of it.”
My thighs squeeze together. There’s this need in my core I’m doing everything in my power to ignore. I’m in denial. I might be attracted to Luke, because I’m not blind. But no way is this attraction going to lead to anything more.
I step back and his arms drop from my waist. My hands hold my towel in place, my fingers clenching around the fabric.
Luke’s head tilts to the side as he assesses me. “You know you can ask me for anything and I’d give it to you.”
“I know.” I nod my head. I don’t think he’s talking about the one thing I really need right now though.
“I don’t think you do know,” he says. “Come here.” Luke takes hold of my hand and leads me over to the bed. “I know you don’t want to acknowledge it. Fuck, you might not even be ready for this, but I’m not about to leave you wanting, Tanna. For anything.”
The undersides of my thighs hit the edge of the bed, and Luke presses on my shoulder lightly, guiding me to sit down. “I don’t know… Wait. What?” I peer up at him, confused. And then he drops to his knees in front of me.
“You need a release, Tanna. I can see it. And I’m going to give it to you.”
“What?” I whisper as his hands land on my bare thighs. I freeze. This is not happening. I need to stop this.
Luke’s lips land on my inner thigh as he presses featherlight kisses over the bruises that are still visible there. “No strings, Tanna. Just let me make you feel good,” he says as he spreads my thighs wider.
He never takes his eyes off mine as his mouth moves higher. My breathing picks up, and I can feel the need in my core. I’ve had this dream. A lot.
“You… you don’t have to do this,” I huff out while trying to move away.
“Tell me to stop and I will, Tanna, at any point. But don’t for one second think that I don’t want to do this. I’ve been dying to taste you since I was sixteen.”
I stop moving. I don’t know what to say, so I don’t say anything at all. I look down and watch as his lips continue to move higher and higher. When his tongue finally slides through my folds, all rational thoughts leave my head. The only thing I can think about is how much I want him to do that again.
“Fuck,” Luke growls before his tongue slides up the length of my lips for a second time. “So fucking good.”
“Oh god.” My eyes close and my thighs shake as he seals his lips around my clit and sucks.
