I catch him by surprise, and at first his lips are hard. Then they soften and mold to mine. His hand splays across my lower back. My tank top has ridden up some, and the feel of his warm hands on my bare skin is heaven. He pulls me closer to him as his other hand cups the back of my head, angling my head so he can kiss me back passionately.

I keep my eyes closed and moan into his mouth. My body arches of its own accord and my pussy heats for him.

I’ve waited years just for this kiss, but it isn’t enough. I want more.

As the sound of another car approaching barely registers, Ryker breaks the kiss and moves us backward and onto the sidewalk.

He looks down at me with his chest rising and falling, and lust in his eyes.

My lips feel slightly swollen from his bruising kiss.

“You need a ride?” he asks in a low voice.

I start to answer, but then my eyes fall. I clear my throat. I don’t want to go back to the dorm. I don’t want him to just drop me off.

But I’m not going to tell him no.

“What’s wrong?” he asks, searching my eyes before I can even answer. He cups my chin in his hand and forces me to look at him.

“I just want to go home with you tonight.” I say each word slowly and carefully. My heart races in my chest.

I’ve never gone home with a man. I’ve never done anything with a man beyond kissing. And even then, it was nothing like what I just had with Ryker.

Ryker cocks an eyebrow and an asymmetric grin pulls his lips up.

He leans down and quickly plants a kiss on my lips.

“I’m not gonna say no to that, kitten.” His rough voice sparks the desire in my core once again. My heart flutters in my chest as he reaches behind him and grabs a helmet off the back of his bike.

RYKER

Irev the engine a little more as we get closer. Catherine lets out a small squeal of delight, and her arms squeeze me tighter.

Her cheek is pressed against my back, and it’s everything I thought it’d be.

We ride in silence as her warmth molds to my back and her arms hug my waist.

As we pull up to a red light, her hands slip down lower. She starts to slide them past the waistband and down farther. Her fingertips tickle my pelvis, and my dick jumps.

Fuck, I need to control myself. I wanna get off this bike and bend her ass over. She’d have it coming to her, teasing me like this. Instead I grip her wrist and put her hand back where it should be.

“You’re going to have to wait, kitten,” I tell her over my shoulder. I watch as she gives me a sexy little pout.

Now my dick is hard, and my girl is horny. Thank fuck my place is right around the corner. I can’t wait any longer.

She’s a good girl the rest of the way, but feeling her body pressed against mine and knowing she wants me has made mydick impossibly hard. Fucking her tight pussy is all I can think about as I pull up and climb off as quick as I can.

I help her off the bike, making the bike bounce slightly. She almost stumbles, but I right her and keep the bike from tipping. My little kitten is not graceful.

“Thank you,” she says as I help her with the helmet and set it back on the end of the bike. I got that just for her. I wanted to make sure if she was there, she wouldn't have any excuse not to come back with me tonight.

“You live here?” she asks with slight disbelief. I take a look at the condo and second-guess myself. It’s a nice little place, but it’s basically a bachelor pad. I mean, it’s not huge or in an upscale, gated community, but it’s a nice place. A sense of insecurity runs through me. This never fucking happens. But with her it’s different. I crave her approval for some unknown reason. If anyone else questions me, my belongings, or anything I do, I shrug it off. I don’t give a fuck. But with her, knowing she approves is important to me. I don’t think that’ll ever change.

She pulls her hair over her shoulders and points over to the dorms behind the condos.

“I live right there,” she says as she looks up at me with a small smile. “So you’re still the bad boy next door.”

I smirk at her and nod my head. Both my shop and my place are close to campus. A lot of business comes from the students. A bike is cheaper than a car.
