He rested a hand on the wall beside my shoulder before he startled me with his blunt words. “I want to kiss you again, Casey.” He closed his eyes briefly as he shook his head. When he opened them again, the blue had darkened to almost navy. “I want to do a lot more than kiss you.” He released a sharp breath. “But I don’t know what you want.”

“You already know my life is a little complicated,” I said while my hormones did cartwheels inside and I tried to ignore the joy buzzing in my veins.

“I definitely understand complicated. Maybe we just see what happens. We don’t have to tell everybody we’re engaged,” Leo replied.

“And going to fake couples counseling,” I offered, my tone dry as burnt toast.

LEO

Casey giggled, and the sound sizzled through me. She was so damn endearing.

“Maybe that’s a good idea,” I rasped.

“What?”

“We see what happens. Tell me what you want.”

“Now?” she whispered.

Holy hell, the sound of her breathy voice was like pouring gas on a raging fire.

“Yes, now.”

She placed her palm on my chest as she leaned up, sliding her other hand around the back of my neck and pulling me close. When our lips met, it felt like lightning striking between us, sizzling and burning hot.

In a matter of seconds, our kiss went from a hot shock to wild and messy. I absolutely couldnotget enough of her. The way she tasted a little sweet, the way her scent carried hints of the crisp air outside, and the way she kissed boldly and without reservation. Her tongue glided against mine in a sensual tease. She made this whimpering sound in the back of her throat and flexed into me. I could feel the tight peaks of her nipples through her cotton blouse.

My cock swelled to the point of pain. When she rocked her hips into mine, I couldn’t help but rock with her.

Casey let out a gasp and her head fell back against the wall when we broke apart. It felt as if she was imprinted on me, all lush softness and warmth. We stared at each other in the quiet hallway. I could hear the drumming beat of my heart reverberating through my entire body.

“Oh, wow,” she said on the heels of a shaky breath.

It was all I could do not to lean close and claim her mouth again. She took in a slow breath, the air gusting against my cheek seconds later. Just when I thought I’d gathered up some semblance of control, she leaned forward and pressed her lips in the divot at the base of my throat. When she drew away, her eyes were like fire.

“Kiss me,” she commanded, her voice low and throaty.

Our mouths collided, and once again, we dove into a devouring kiss. I savored the warm sweetness of her mouth and every little whimpering sound she made. My knee slid between her thighs and she rocked her hips over it. Our kisses blurred from one to the next. The next thing I knew, her head thumped against the wall behind her again as she shuddered all over, finding her release right there in the hallway with us both fully clothed.

Her eyes were heavy-lidded as she stared back at me a few seconds later, both of us sucking in deep gulps of air. “I need to taste you,” I whispered.

Chapter Twelve

CASEY

I need to taste you.

I blinked in response to Leo’s words. All I could manage in reply was a wobbly nod.

I wasn’t sure what he meant, but when he unbuttoned my jeans and slid his hand between my thighs to dip his fingers in my slippery wet channel, my pussy clenched around him. I was still reverberating from the echoes of my unexpected climax.

When he withdrew his fingers, with his eyes on me the entire time, he brought them to his mouth. I thought I might melt to the floor right there. I watched on weak knees as he licked my arousal off his fingers. I distantly heard the sound of my choked whimper.

The friction created from his knee had been enough of a shock, but watching this sent another burst of need through me. All I could do was try to breathe.

A moment later, he buttoned my jeans. It slowly dawned on me that we were in the hallway. I knew there was nobody in the apartment across from mine, but still. I had completely lost track of where we were.
