“It seems the universe—or Brooke—wants us to be together.”
Something flickers in his eyes at my words, but he doesn’t give me a chance to ask. “It seems that way. And who would we be to deny the universe what it wants?”
His hand slips up the length of my neck before his fingers tangle in my hair. He grips and tips my head back slightly so I’m at the perfect position for him.
“Friday night can’t come soon enough,” he mutters before his mouth crashes down on mine.
My lips part the second his tongue seeks entry, and I can’t help a groan rumbling up my throat when they connect.
I sag back against the car, relying on his body to hold me up, and he renders me useless with his intoxicating kiss.
My head spins as he consumes me. His fingers grip tighter on my hair, his hard length pressing against my hip and driving me crazy with need.
His hand slips down from my waist and hooks my leg up around his hip. It causes him to press exactly where I need him.
Knowing how easily he could make me fall completely under his spell is like a bucket of cold water. I pull my leg from his grasp and press my palms against his solid chest.
He pulls back and looks down at me. His pupils are shot, the blue almost swallowed by the black of his desire.
“Harlow?” His chest heaves as he tries to catch his breath.
“Friday night?”
“Y-yeah. Can I … call you?”
I nod, heat creeping up my neck. I was just basically dry humping him against my car for all my neighbors to see. Why is it that the suggestion of him calling me turns me into an excited teenage girl with her first crush?
“You can.”
A car pulls up somewhere behind us, and, after a quick glance at it, Corey’s focus is back on me.
“That’s my Uber.”
“Okay.”
“Thank you for today. It was … unexpected. From beginning to end.”
A chuckle falls from my lips as he steps back and turns toward his waiting car.
“Hey, Brit boy,” I call.
He looks back at me over his shoulder, a panty-melting smile on his face. A bolt of lust hits me as his eyes drop to my body.
“Sneaking out this morning might have been the best thing I’ve done in my life.”
His smile lights up his entire face. He knows as well as I do that if I were still in that bed when he woke this morning, none of this would have happened.
“Until Friday.”
I nod and smile at him, dizzy with excitement. It’s a feeling that’s eluded me for a very long time.
After watching his car speed off, I push through the front door before falling back against it and giving my heart a second to slow down.
“You’re welcome,” comes from the living room where I knew she was watching. I can’t help but laugh. “Did you have a good afternoon?” she asks, appearing in the doorway.
“What do you think?”
“Well, from the fact that I just watched your little porno in the driveway, I’d say yes. But I never know with you.”
