“But I told you I was going out of town,” I argued, trying to catch her out.

We came to the end of the path, and the group of students was able to spread out in the clearing before splitting off into different directions. Damn. I realized I lost sight of Shaun and Callum, and clenched my fists in frustration that I let him out of my sight.

She sighed. “Someone planted a camera in my room,” she confessed. ‘And I thought it might be you. I couldn’t get into your room at the frat house, so I went to the basement to see if you kept things like that there.”

I frowned as her explanation didn’t convince me. I stopped at the glass door of the building where my class was and tried to spot that melonhead, but still couldn’t see him.

“Are you okay?” she asked, noticing I was distracted.

I stepped out of the way of the door, blocked the way, and then scanned the foyer and beyond for that head. “Yeah,” I dragged my attention back to her, noticing her pretty face was screwed up in worry, chewing her bottom lip and I had to hold back the urge to kiss her.

I seized her wrist and pulled her around the side of the building and pressed her back against the wall. “Don’t you need to go to class?” she asked me as I placed my hands against the wall, caging her in.

“Yeah, but I’d rather talk to you,” I answered, still checking for Shaun. “You went to the basement to look for cameras?”

She sighed, disturbed by my constant distraction. Every time I sensed movement, I turned to look for Shaun. “Did he hurt you?”

“No,” she snarled, placing her hand on my chest, which I liked.

“Did he break your phone?” I insisted that she look me in the eye and answer honestly.

“Gunner,” she pushed against my chest. “Let me go.”

“No. Answer my question,” I pressed, holding my face only an inch away from hers. “Did he…Shaun or maybe Callum, break your phone.”

“I had this conversation with Ronan,” she snarled at me, looking so fucking cute.

“And? Tell me, Riley. Did Shaun break your phone?” It was wiser to focus on Shaun and her phone, rather than the hidden camera, because I wanted her to forget about it, at least for now. Then I’d rethink my plan.

She swallowed, pushing harder against my chest, then slammed her foot down on my foot, which barely made the impact she was hoping for. “Let me go, Gunner.”

“That didn’t hurt, by the way,” I chuckled, highly entertained by my sudden temper and fight.

She was such a firecracker, and…there were flecks of her personality where Riley disappeared, and all I saw was Annika—my foster sister, the gorgeous girl who ruined my life.

“Answer my question.” This time I snarled because seeing Annika in her face drove me fucking crazy. “Riley, answer my fucking question. Did Shaun break your phone?”

Her bottom lip trembled as she slammed her foot down on mine, making me laugh, but my amusement only made her angrier. Her little hand went to my crotch, and she grabbed and squeezed hard. I sucked in my breath to ease the pain as the tips of her fingers dug into my balls.

Her nostrils flared at me as those green eyes drilled into my face, watching my complexion turn red. “Let. Me. Go,” she stated evenly, clenching her jaw.

“You remind me of someone,” I growled under my breath.

A revealing look flashed in her eyes that only made me more curious. “Who?” She swallowed again, yet refused to let go of my balls.

“Someone I used to know,” I flirted with her to see how long I could drag this out.

“Who?” she asked again, and I realized I had her where I wanted her, which was under my thumb. Except she was squeezing harder on my balls and I winced as a wave of pain traveled into my cock and lower abdomen.

I grabbed her wrist and yanked it off my balls as mischievousness danced about her face making me horny as fuck. “I’m about to break the rules,” I stated coolly.

“Whose rules?” she asked, hitching her breath, gazing at my face longingly. Those eyes followed my scar down my forehead to my eyebrow, then she bit her bottom lip.

“My uncle’s, your boss,” I mumbled, utterly and thoroughly fixated by her. Thoughts of avenging Shaun were shoved to the back of my mind as I smashed my mouth against her.

A sigh escaped her lips as those arms flung around my neck. I pressed my abdomen against her, gyrating into her, drawing out moans and sighs that permeate my mouth. Her sweet little body folded into me, and I scooped her up easily in my embrace while I destroyed her with my kiss.

Running my tongue over her teeth and gums, dancing with her warm soft tongue as I ran my hands up and down her spine, grabbing her butt cheek and squeezing it hard. She was all mine, until the sounds of chatting students walking nearby pulled her out of the spell I had her under, and she broke the kiss.
