Page 74 of Resist Me

“I spent a small fortune on an Uber, but that’s not important.”

“What’s important, West?”

His eyes narrowed at me. “You’re an asshole. I can’t stand you. What gives you the right to interfere in my life?”

“Is that what I’m doing?”

“I didn’task you for anything.”

“Okay.”

He approached me, then stopped a foot away. His nostrils flared and his cheeks had reddened.

“It was just a one night stand at a party, Linc.”

“No.”

“No?” he repeated, his bright eyes becoming more wild. He sort of looked like feral Gojo right now and I couldn’t say I wasn’t into it.

“It meant something to me,” I said simply. “And to you. That’s why you’re here.”

“What ancient ruin did you dig up to find the audacity to say something like that? King Tutankhamun would very much like it returned to him. Grave desecration is a mortal sin-”

I couldn’t listen to him anymore, so I fisted the front of his hoodie and pulled him into me. Cupping the side of his neck with my other hand, I guided his mouth to mine. His palms flattened against my chest, his lips parting immediately to let me in. He groaned when my tongue stroked his.

“Ah, you fucking bastard.”

“You were saying?” I asked.

He shook his head and walked me backward until I hit the door. “I was saying something? No, I don’t think I was.”

I tried to steer him toward the bed, but he resisted. With a frustrated growl, I gripped the backs of his thighs and lifted him. He let out a startled sound, followed by a grunt when I dropped him onto the mattress.

“That was the most appalling thing anyone’s ever done,” he grumbled.

“My dick in your ass didn’t make the list?”

He flushed that adorable shade of pink. West when he was vulnerable, emotionally or otherwise, did something to me.

“This is the last time,” he said.

I rolled my eyes. “Yeah, sure.”

“I’m serious.”

“If you don’t want this, you should leave right now. And if you stay, it’s not just for sex. I can get that anywhere.”

“Well, that’s-”

“I’ll give you five seconds to decide.”

It barely took him two seconds to kick off his shoes and scoot further back on the bed. My lips curled upward before I settled my knees onto the mattress and crawled toward him. He really looked like a cornered animal, but he didn’t cower or run. He waited, knowing full well that I was about to pounce.

West

The second time was even better. My nerves had been a wreck, but not because of the sex. Linc wasveryadept at that.
