A sudden noise catches our attention, ripping us from the trance.

She pushes off me as we both turn to find Brody staring hard with a glass cup in hand.

“Hey, buddy!” Elara marches toward him, ignoring me while kneeling before him.

When she whispers something in his ear, he eagerly nods, grinning at her with excitement.

I happen behind her and Brody gives me a tight look.

“What are you two up to?” My eyes connect with hers, and it’s like the world shifts all over again. Every single time she looks at me.

I can’t stop myself from touching her, the molecules in my veins pulling to hers. My hand caresses up and down her shoulder, feeling her quiver.

“We’re gonna go watch a movie and eat ice cream. Wanna come?” She plays with her hair.

I’m making her nervous.

“Yes.” No hesitation.

“Great.” She clears her throat and grabs a carton of ice cream from the freezer while Brody retrieves three spoons.

Maybe he doesn’t hate me that much.

Who am I kidding?

He leaves us for the den while Elara fidgets, holding tight to the ice cream.

“So, we’re eating right out of this thing?” I ask.

“Have a problem with that?” There’s a twinkle in those beautiful eyes.

“None. Just checking what the rules are.”

She laughs, like a real laugh. And I vow to make her do that again.

“I promised him, and I keep my promises.”

“That’s a good trait to have.” I feather my thumb over her bottom lip as soon as Ruby disappears. “You’re driving me crazy,” I growl, pushing her body up against the wall, my hand tangled in her hair.

“We talked about this, Tynan,” she moans, grabbing my wrist, yet not even attempting to push me off.

My skin instantly warms at her touch.

“I can’t help myself.” My mouth descends to her throat, tempting her with hurried kisses.

In the background, the noise of the television comes to life, and she releases a heavy groan.

“Please…” She tugs my hair, pushing my mouth even deeper. “Please stop.”

I chuckle against her beating pulse, kissing there, inhaling her floral scent. One I wanna get lost in.

“Only ’cause you asked nicely.” I smirk against her throat, leaving one last kiss on the spot where her shoulder and neck meet.

Reluctantly, I let her go before she ends up getting fucked against the wall. Running a frustrated hand down my face, I promise myself to behave the rest of the day.

“Ready?” I ask her.

She nods, clearing her throat and rushing out of the room.
