“It’s not luck.” She closed her eyes, her words drifting into his mouth. “It’s fate.”

“You believe in all that?”

“I do now.” She crept into him, deepening the kiss. First, it was the increased pressure of their lips, then it was their tongues. She nudged into him, their pelvises aligning, the hard length of his cock rubbing against smooth warmth as he teetered on the edge of the bunk.

Her fingernails trailed down his back, to his waist, then the elastic of his sweatpants. Her gaze met his as she tugged, wordlessly demanding him to undress.

“You sure you want to do this here?”

“This isn’t the time for chivalry, Ryan.” She smashed her mouth over his, her tongue parting his lips and delving deep. “Get your clothes off.”

He couldn’t remove them fast enough. He was wriggling, flexing, contorting, trying to get naked without elbowing her in the face. His sweatpants were around his knees when her palm grazed along the underwear covering his cock. He hissed in a breath, jerked, and felt himself tumbling backward, sliding beneath the curtain, his ass landing hard on the bus aisle before he could brace for impact.

Fuck.That shit hurt.

He climbed to his knees, and laughter carried over the blood pulsing in his ears. Loud, belly-shaking, masculine laughter.

“Have you got a license to carry that thing?” Mason spoke between gasps.

“Shit.” Sean chuckled. “Be careful impaling her with that. You don’t want to puncture a lung.”

They were staring at the tent of his boxer briefs, not an ounce of remorse.

“Fuck you.” He shot them the bird and shucked his sweats, leaving them on the floor of the aisle. He nudged back underneath the curtain and found Leah’s face buried in the pillow, her body convulsing with mirth.

“Don’t you start.” He poked her ribs, unable to stop himself from chuckling even though his ass felt like he’d spent a week in prison.

She rolled to her side, her amusement coming in gulping hiccups. Yeah, she was laughing at him, but he’d never been more enamored. He’d never been more in love with her than he was right now, her body half-naked, her cheeks flushed, her smile wide.

“You need to laugh more often.” He brushed the hair from the side of her face. “Iwant to make you laugh more often.”

“You’re doing a great job.” She wrapped her hand around his neck and encouraged him forward. “Now kiss me before we call this quits.”

Quits? Hell, no. “I gave you the opportunity to decline my services earlier.” He smothered his body against hers, leaning her into the side wall of the bus, grinding his cock against the soft lace of her underwear. “No take backs.”

She smiled against his mouth and nibbled his lower lip. “That was before you gave away what we were doing.”

“Don’t kid yourself, gorgeous. They knew what we were going to be doing before you even stepped foot on this bus.”

“Yeah?” She quirked a brow. “And what if I said no?”

“It never would’ve happened.”

“How can you be so sure?”

“I don’t have an abundance of confidence with a lot of things, but your eyes tell me exactly how much you want me.”

She arched her neck with a chuckle. “So your eyes speak of affection and mine scream with lust?”

“Pretty much.” He pebbled kisses along her throat, to her shoulder, to her collarbone. Each connection increased her breathing and the depth of her nails digging into his skin. “I can already taste how wet you are.” He ran his hand along her waist, over her hip to trail beneath her panties. Her musk scented the air, her desire seeping into his lungs, causing insanity.

He palmed her ass, then delved deeper, sliding his touch between her thighs from behind. Her heat increased the further he came toward her core, his fingertips being scorched as they trailed through the moisture of her folds. “You claim you could’ve turned me down. But I bet I could make you beg.”

She mewled as he entered her, a lone finger sliding into her pussy. Her walls clamped down on his digit, her hips thrusting for more.

“Prove me wrong, Leah.” His mouth closed in on hers. “Say no to me.”

She shuddered, her nails scarring his shoulders.
