Page 22 of Dirty Little Mistake

"Fuck this," I muttered, whipping around to leave, already tasting the bitter satisfaction of walking away. This was what I did, wasn't it? Keep moving, stay detached, never look back. Simple.

Except Camryn didn't seem to care. She wasn't like other girls. Even though I knew she wanted me, she wasn't going to chase me.

"Take it off," the guy next to me shouted, and I froze. That ignited a fire inside me that I didn't know I was capable of feeling, and I couldn't control anything I did after that.

Rearing back, I saw red as I slammed my fist into the short man's face, twisted, reached up, and jerked Cam off the counter. If she fought me, I didn’t notice. Anger and adrenaline were coursing through me. Shifting her, I flung her over my shoulder and stormed to the back of the house into a bedroom, slamming the door behind me.

"What the fuck?" Cam growled, and I leaned forward, dropping her on the king-size bed. "What are you doing, Trystan?" She pushed up to a sitting position on the edge of the bed. "I gave you your fucking out. Why didn't you walk away?"

"Honestly," I gritted out, my chest heaving. Standing between her knees, I stared down at her. "You make me crazy. I want to make you mine, but I know I can't, and yet the thought of anyone else touching you makes me want to rip someone's eyes out. I don't believe in monogamy, but I don't want to share you."

Her expression softened.

"I don't know what's happening." I shoved a hand through my hair, pushing it out of my eyes.

"Why did you ask me to go on tour with you?"

"Because I don't want to leave you behind, and I wasn't thinking..." I shook my head. "It just came out."

"You can't say stuff like that to me." She pushed to her feet, brushing her body against mine. "You have to say what you mean."

I huffed out a laugh. "That's the problem. I do mean it."

She shook her head. "No, you don't. You may want to mean it, but you don't."

Dropping her gaze, she bit down on her bottom lip. My hand tangled in her hair, tugging softly, forcing her eyes up as I stared down through lowered lids. "How about we just take this one day at a time? No expectations, no labels, just you and me."

"We need clear boundaries."

"We can do that."

"And honesty?"

I nodded. "Just don't ask anything you don't want the absolute truth to."

"Deal."

"So does that mean I can kiss you now?"

The corners of her lips lifted, and her hands curled into my black tee. "Ye..." My lips crashed against hers.

It was addicting.

She was addicting.

We kissed until our lips were swollen, and we were gasping for air.

"My aunt and uncle are gone for a few weeks," she breathed as I dropped my forehead to hers. "Want to come home with me?"

My lips curled into a grin. "Yeah." I wanted to set the boundaries as soon as possible so that I could spend the rest of my time here with her, in her, on her, around her.

Chapter 10

Camryn

Shoving open my bedroom door, I walked into the large dark room with Trystan following close behind me and flipped on a light.

"Where's your aunt and uncle?" His gaze flicked around the room, taking it all in.
