Page 24 of I Did Before I Do

That smile did things to me.

I shifted, biting my lower lip. “Nah. Don’t change anything.”

Chapter Ten

Ryker

Don’t change anything.

I liked that.

I held Sydney’s purse out to her. She reached for it, and I pulled my hand back, out of her grasp. She laughed, taking a half-step closer and reaching for it again.

“Hey, c’mon!” She bounced up on her toes, reaching.

Her tits bounced with her.

My cock twitched again.

I had to get this girl in bed.

I lowered her purse. She grabbed it, her fingers brushing against mine. The touch was shocking— it felt like fire, or electricity.

I hadn’t felt that since Bay left.

Sydney continued to giggle as she slung her purse over her shoulder. She looked up at me, green eyes heated. “You’re something else, you know that?”

“One of the nicer things I’ve been told about myself.” I folded my arms, grinning down at her.

“I mean it. You’re…mysterious.” Sydney took a step back, mirroring my posture.

It was cute.

“Mysterious, huh?”

“Yeah. Like you’ve got some secrets. Some shit nobody knows about behind those pretty green eyes.”

She had no idea.

“I’m gonna—I’m gonna figure you out, Ryker.” She shook her head. “You can’t keep your secrets forever. I won’t let you.”

I laughed. “Well, you’re welcome to try.”

“Syd?” Kenzie’s voice cut through the dark.

I looked up. She and Lora stood by their cars, watching us.

“Syd, you okay?” Kenzie asked.

“Yeah!” Sydney waved to them. “I’m good. We’re just chatting.”

“Okay, well, see you soon.” Kenzie got in her car, and Lora followed suit. Sydney and I watched as they both pulled out of the parking lot, heading home.

“Now.” Sydney looked back up at me. “Walk me to my car?”

“With pleasure.”

I let Sydney lead, following her into the parking lot. She swayed just a little on her feet.
