My ass hits the hard brick, sending a sharp bite of pain down my legs, but his arm protects my back from the same fate, squeezing me close to him.

His free arm is pressing into the wall on the other side of my head, effectively caging me in. Our matching heavy breaths mingle in the cool air, my breasts brushing against him with every intake of air. My nipples tingle, hardening under the feel of his hard chest as I examine his face.

His jaw is clenched tight, a nerve pulsing on the side, as his eyes rove over my face. “Are you hurt?”

I start to shake my head, but stop. “No.”

He smiles. “Hmm. Good.”

“How’d you catch me so quickly?” I internally curse how out of breath I sound.

“Did I spoil the fun?” he whispers, running his nose along the shell of my ear.

I shiver, my hands tingling at my sides to thread my fingers through his hair and pull him closer. “No.”

“Well then, it seems I’m owed another secret.”

“What do you want to know?” The words are barely audible above the crowd a few yards away. My eyes flash down the alley, with the realization that anyone who turns around would see how incredibly intimate we appear. But instead of deterring me, it excites me more, sending another wave of shivers down my arms.

“I want to know if I slip my fingers inside of you right now how drenched you would be.”

The overwhelming need pulsing in my clit fuels me. “Find out.”

Adrian jerks his head back and meets my gaze. He must see something in my eyes that tells him how serious I am, because he lets out a deep growl of approval. It rumbles through my chest and settles deep in my core.

He unhooks his hand from around my waist and lightly trails it around, lifting my shirt enough for his fingers to make tortuous contact. The entire time he moves, he never breaks eye contact, watching as my face undergoes the shifts from my increasing arousal. By the time he reaches the button of my jeans, I’m nearly panting.

“Let’s see, shall we?”

I saw my bottom lip between my teeth as I nod. “Let’s.”

A delicious smirk curls one side of his mouth before he somehow pops my button in one swift move, then drags my zipper down so slowly I feel each click of the metal separating.

When his hand slips beneath the thin lace of my panties, I can’t keep the moan from slipping out, or my eyes from squeezing shut.

“I need your eyes on me when I’m touching you, Bambi.” His fingers dip dangerously low, the whisper of his touch against my clit causing me to hiss and my eyes to fly open.

Adrian smirks and slides the fabric to the side before gliding a finger from my entrance to my throbbing clit, the sensation causing a moan to get stuck in my throat. “Cocky little thing. You wanted me to see how wet you are. All for me.”

A deep, involuntary rumble vibrates through my chest at the sound of his voice taunting me, matching the neediness of my strangled moan. My back arches on instinct while I tilt my hips into his palm. That one little swipe felt so damn good. “Again.”

He leans forward, nipping my chin. “For another secret.”

“Anything.” I can’t help my hips from searching for more friction, but his hand holds me still.

“Oh, Sam. Don’t say that.”

“Adrian.” My voice is a borderline plea. “Ask me what you want to know.”

He chuckles against my throat before withdrawing abruptly. My chest nearly caves, the loss of his touch tearing the seams of my fragile edges. Before I can make a smart remark, he holds his finger up between us.

My arousal coats the digit, the evidence shimmering in the low light of the alley. He presses his fingertip into his mouth and licks it clean. My stomach clenches as his eyes roll and he groans against the taste.

When he’s done, I’m half delirious, my heart fluttering so fast, I feel it everywhere. Finally, he drops his hand from the brick, buttoning my pants up.

I start to protest, but a gleam in Adrian’s eye stops me. He steps forward, dipping his head, and his hands find my hips. His fingers dig into the soft flesh, his warm breath coasting along the column of my neck as he rumbles in my ear.

“I want to play again.”
