Fuck it.

Without thinking, I grab her chin and smash my lips to hers.

God, her taste is divine. No wonder those two couldn’t keep their hands off her. She’s like a sinful little package waiting to be unwrapped, and I groan into her mouth just from the sheer desire that’s been roaring through my body ever since I first saw her on Ares’s lap, mewling to his touch.

Maybe I should steal her from him.

Would he kill me if I tried?

She pulls away from me and stares at me, eyes flickering back and forth between both my eyes and lips, as though she’s contemplating whether to kiss me back … or kill me for daring to try.

I wouldn’t blame her if she did.

I might not even stop her if she tried.

But I will never,everregret kissing those beautiful lips.

CRYSTAL

Without thinking, I slam my lips back on his, his groans lighting a flame.

I’ve never kissed this passionately, this fiercely before. It’s like a fire consumes my soul.

My hands entangle around his thick neck, curling through his silky hair, desperate to get closer. And he answers my greed with fervent licks, rolling his tongue around mine, equally as needy to get closer while his hands snake around my waist and trap me.

But then I remember who he is and what house he belongs to, and I instantly regret what we just did.

I swiftly jump up from the bench, the shock finally settling in.

“Oh God,” I mutter, swiftly grabbing my stuff. “This was a mistake.”

“No, it wasn’t. It was anything but a mistake.” He gets up from the bench too. “I fully intended to kiss those pretty lips, darling, and I’m not going to say I’m sorry.”

Wait, what?

I thought I’d convinced him by kissing him on the cheeks.

Has he wanted to kiss me all this time?

I gulp as my eyes slowly trail down his body, settling on the hard-on in his pants clearly visible through the fabric.

“Fuck,” I mutter, biting my lip before looking away. “God, I should’ve known.”

“What?” He snorts. “That you’d kiss me back?”

My jaw slowly drops, and my cheeks begin to glow. “No, I was overcome by …”

“Lust?” He grips my arm as if he could sense I was about to turn and run. “I know exactly what you felt because the same need courses through my veins.”

I shake my head. “But I saw you at Fi’s Cups and Cakes with someone.”

He steps closer, leaning in to get on eye level with me while licking his top lip. “Ask me what you want to ask. You can say it out loud.”

“I thought you were gay?”

God, I can’t believe I’m asking this question.

He smirks. “Call it whatever you like, but I don’t care what appendage someone has as long as they’re just as greedy as I am.”
