Page 35 of Surrender

“Not yet. We just got here, and I don’t want to be rude. Plus, you’re meeting a lot of new people, which is good.”

“Everyone’s been really nice.”

“Hal was very excited to meet you.”

“Yeah, he follows me on social media. He gave me his number, because he wants us to work out together.”

Tracy frowned and muttered, “I’ll bet.”

“What does that mean?”

“That’s obviously not why he gave you his number.”

“You think he was hitting on me?”

He shot me a look. “Obviously. A guy like that is probably exactly your type, too.”

“A guy like what?”

“Hal’s a former model, and one of the most beautiful people I’ve ever seen.”

A grin spread across my face. “Are you jealous?”

“Bite me.”

“You are! But you’re also wrong. He’s not my type.”

“Gorgeous ex-models are everyone’s type. He’s nice too, not to mention smart, talented, and ambitious. He’s studying fashion design and?—”

“Are you trying to talk me into him?”

“No, but saying you’re not into him makes no sense. Why wouldn’t you be?”

“Because I’m interested in someone else.”

“Who?”

I brushed his hair back and asked, “Isn’t it obvious?”

Tracy seemed flustered. “I thought… I thought maybe, but you’ve never done anything about it.”

“So, let’s change that.”

The parakeet on Tracy’s shoulder didn’t like it when I started to lean in. He shrieked, “What the fuck,” and flew straight up before flying toward the kitchen. This stirred up the cat and dogin turn. They tumbled off Tracy’s lap, and the dog shook himself before the two of them trotted off in the same direction.

This time though, I wasn’t going to let anything distract me. I gently took hold of Tracy’s chin, and he tilted his head as our lips met.

I’d planned to keep it light, but instead, the kiss instantly ignited. He grabbed the front of my jacket with both hands and pulled me closer, and I ended up straddling his lap as he parted his lips for me.

The way Tracy kissed me was electrifying. There was an urgency to it, as if he needed me desperately, which was a huge turn-on. I completely gave myself over to the moment, reveling in the taste of his mouth, his familiar scent, the softness of his hair as I slid my fingers into it.

My entire body responded to him. He was right there with me, grinding his hard cock against mine through our jeans. By the time I finally sat up, both of us were flushed and breathing heavily. “I don’t want to stop, but considering where we are…” My voice sounded rough to me.

“Yeah.”

I sat down beside him again, and once we caught our breath and calmed down a little, Tracy said, “We should go back to the party. Our friends are probably wondering what happened to us.”

We both got up, and as I followed him to the living room, I found myself grinning. I had no idea what was going to happen next, but I couldn’t wait to find out.
