I mimicked him and wiped the corner of my mouth.
“Other side,” he said with a smile.
I wiped the other side.
“Here, let me get it.” He leaned closer and wiped beneath my lip with his thumb. “There. Perfect.”
It felt like all the air had left my lungs. I was still finding it hard to believe that Bennett liked me.
“Lame.” Otto coughed into his arm. “Pick-up.”Cough.“Line.” He coughed again.
Bennett threw his napkin at him and then grabbed my wrist. “Come here.” He didn’t give me a chance to follow his instructions. He just pulled me onto his lap.
His other hand settled on my waist as his lips fell to my ear. “I was so desperate to feel your lips around my cock earlier that I realized I haven’t even kissed you.”
The combination of his sinful words and hot breath in my ear had me leaning closer to him.
I lifted my arm and wrapped it behind his neck. Never in a million years did I think I’d be sitting here like this. With him. With all of them. “So are you saying that there wasn’t anything on my face, and you just really wanted to kiss me?” I whispered.
“I also wanted an excuse to touch you.” His fingers slid back, his hand falling to my ass.
I smiled. I was starting to understand him. He liked being the one next to me. A touch here and a touch there during dinner as we all laughed. And he definitely seemed to like when I touched him back. I slid my fingers into his hair as I turned my head toward his.
“Then how about we rectify the situation?” I whispered against his lips.
He ran the tip of his nose down the length of mine. But he still didn’t kiss me. We both just sat there. A fraction of an inch away from what we both wanted. Ibreathed in his exhales as my heart ricocheted against my ribcage.
He lifted his hand from my wrist and put it against the side of my face. “I should have known the answer was right in front of me. I’d almost given up.”
“On…what?” I whispered.
“On finding the right person.”
The way he said it made my heart ache. He’d thought Emma had been the right person. I thought he was still hung up on her. But he wasn’t looking at me like he was lusting over my best friend. He was staring at me like I was his missing piece.
And I knew he was worried because until a few days ago all I talked about were casual hookups. But I was going to prove him wrong. I wanted to be his person. I closed the distance between us and pressed my lips against his.
He groaned and dug his fingers into my skin.
My lips parted for him as he deepened the kiss.
I’d dreamed of kissing Bennett ever since I first saw him in town. And this was so much better than my dreams. He held me tight, completely possessing me. If he hadn’t already ravished me tonight, I would have straddled his waist right here.
“Ow, ow!” yelled one of the guys.
I’d been so lost in the kiss that I’d completely forgotten his friends were watching.
“Get a room,” Otto coughed.
I laughed and pulled away. And for some reason, I turned to Titan.
He grunted and pushed away from the table, his chair scratching against the concrete.
I cringed as he walked away. He opened the door to the roof and disappeared down the stairs.
“Don’t mind him,” Huxley said.
It was a little hard to just ignore Titan. His dark glances and grumpy demeanor were starting to shake me. Not to mention his threats downstairs. It seemed like Titan thought that I wasn’t being honest about my intentions with his friends. And I wasn’t sure how to convince him that I was all-in here.
