SIXTEEN

CALEB REEVES AND his stubborn ass were going to be the death of me.
If I had to stand here and watch him deny his body’s blatant reaction to me one more fucking time, I was going to explode.
“Gotta go.” I slipped out from beneath the arms of… Shit, I hadn’t actually caught his name, but it didn’t matter. East’s not-so-brilliant hookup idea was the last thing on my mind as I watched Caleb retreat down the hallway.
This is the problem. One look at Caleb and you’re back where you started.
“Piss off,” I muttered, ignoring the warnings and red flags as I closed in behind the man trying to leave.
Look at that. He’s leavingyou.He wants nothing to do withyou.
Close enough now to touch, I reached for his elbow and pulled him into an empty nook off the hallway, taking him by surprise. He jerked himself out of my grasp, but the second I pushed him up against the wall and he saw it was me, he went still.
Fuck, he was so damn gorgeous, even with the confusion radiating off him that fused with desire so tangible I wanted toreach out and take it. Did he want me to? Or did he just like to watch?
I took a step closer but kept from pressing my body against his the way I wanted to. For now. I couldn’t promise my patience would last very long, but he was already spooked by what he was feeling, that much was obvious.
“Caleb,” I said. “Where you goin’ so fast?”
He swallowed, his eyes dropping to my lips.“Go. Please, just go. I’m leaving.”
“Because of me?”
Caleb’s breaths were unsteady, but he managed to scoff. “Get over yourself.”
“Why would I do that?” I placed a hand on the wall by his head and leaned in by his ear. “When you get hard every time you watch me. Last night… Tonight…”
“No…”
I knocked his foot aside, spreading his legs so I could slip one of mine between them. The second I closed the space between our hips and felt how hard he still was, a strangled curse ripped from my throat.
“No? So this isn’t for me?” I shifted to rub against his erection, and his eyes slammed shut. “It sure feels like it is.”
“Does it matter? Yours isn’t for me.”
Was that an admission? It sure felt like one, but with his eyes shut, it was difficult to tell.
I lowered my head again, and when my breath whispered over his ear, his body went as stiff as his cock. “Now, we both know that’s not true.”
Caleb’s eyes flicked open. “Do we? You seem to be putting it in a different person each night lately.”
“And that bothers you?”
“That…” Caleb trailed off as he lowered his gaze to where my hips were pressed up against his. “That tracks with you. You’ve never been able to keep your dick in your pants.”
This was too fucking sweet. Caleb wasjealous.
“Been keeping track of that, have you?”
“Pretty hard not to when you keep taking it out in front of me.”
“I’d say you’re pretty hard for me whether I take it out or not.” I tilted my head to the side, daring him to argue. “But aren’t you tired?”
“Tired?”
