Hollis swallowed, her face serious again before nodding slowly. “Are you sure about this?”
I growled, closing the distance between us until our bodies were almost touching. Hollis shivered, her blue-green eyes boring into me. I reached out and placed one hand around the back of her neck, pulling her flush to me, my other hand snaking around her waist, holding her in place against me. My lips crashed into hers in a bruising kiss, one that made me want to possess every inch of her. She writhed against me, pressing her tits into my chest as my hand slipped from her waist to the curve of her arse. My nails dug into the creamy skin of her butt cheek, and she moaned into my mouth, the sound having a direct connection to my dick. Moving inwards, I slid my knuckles underneath her T-shirt and over her clit, feeling how damp her knickers were. A groan escaped my lips. As much as I wanted to take this further, we had to be careful.With a sigh, I withdrew my hand and took a step away.
“Why did you stop?” Hollis rasped, disappointment radiating from her eyes.
“Because if I don’t stop now, I won’t be able to. And I don’t want our first time to be rushed. I want to take my time with you.” I traced a finger down the side of her face, rubbing my thumb over her bottom lip. “I want to enjoy every single moment. Not to mention that the thought of your brother finding us together like this scares the absolute shit out of me.”
My last comment raised a smile. “Yeah, I get that.”
I gripped the top of her arms. “I want this. I wantyou.”
“Me, too.” Hollis frowned. “Although how we make it happen is another matter.”
“I guess we’ll have to sneak around a little.” The thought of it being forbidden made it even more exciting. “Right now, we should both go to bed. Alone.” I leaned forward and kissed the tip of her nose. “I’ll see you in the morning.”
Hollis grasped the lapels of my shirt, getting up on her tiptoes and kissing me full on the lips. “Until we can do it again.”
“Looking forward to it already. Sweet dreams, Princess.” With great effort, I dragged myself away and left the room as quietly as I could.
As I got to my door, the bathroom door opened, and Finn stumbled out. “Thought you’d gone to bed ages ago. How come you’re still dressed?” He yawned, dragging a hand through his hair and breathing whisky fumes all over me.
“Fell asleep on the bed,” I improvised. “Woke up with a mouth like sandpaper and needed some water. I thought Iheard you in the bathroom and waited until you were finished.”
“Right.” Finn nodded, seeming to believe me, and went towards his room. “See you in the morning, mate.”
Blowing out a breath and realising Hollis and I had got away with it, at least for now, I headed to bed, wondering how the hell we were going to make this work.
Chapter Eighteen
Hollis
How I got any sleep that night, I had no idea.
Last night with Jase, finally admitting how we felt about each other, had been everything. We had now crossed a line we could never go back from, all the simmering tension between us boiling over into something neither of us knew how to control. But there was one massive problem.
How on earth were we going to tell Finn?
The thought of even mentioning it to my brother filled me with absolute horror.
Hey, Finn, you’ll never guess what happened last night? Jase and I hooked up. You’re okay with that, right?
Technically, of course, we hadn’t hooked up. It didn’t make it any less difficult to tell my brother.
Then the fear started to creep in.What if Jase had changed his mind? And everything that had happened between us had been a mistake?
I couldn’t be sure whether the sickness in my stomach was as a result of that thought or the amount I’d drunk last night. Shifting onto my back, I stared at the ceiling as ifsilently begging for it to give me answers. Blindly, I reached for my phone sitting on the bedside table, squinting at the screen filled with messages. I opened the one from Jase first.
Jase
Morning, Princess. Can’t stop thinking about last night. When can we make it happen again? xx
A cheesy grin split my face, all the doubts dissipating. But reality was another thing altogether. It wouldn’t be so easy to skip off downstairs and plant a huge kiss on Jase’s lips right in front of Finn. The smile slipped a little.
As if he could tell what I was thinking, Jase sent a follow-up message.
Jase
I know it’s not going to be easy, but nothing worth having ever is. And you are definitely worth having, so we have to make it work xx
