I clap my hands over my ears, horrified at the way I can’t seem to stop hearing his thoughts.
I’m obsessed with—
I squeeze my eyes shut in desperation.Please, God. Help me with this? Please?
As I feel rather than see Hexius approaching me, I find myself imagining a door to his mind—
Bam!
And what do you know?
As soon as I slam the door shut and triple-lock it for good measure—
Silence.
Blessed, private silence...just as the bed dips under his weight, his fingers are cupping my chin, and my eyelids involuntarily fly open at the startling heat of his gaze.
“Tell me what’s wrong.”
I don’t need to read his thoughts to understand that the gruffness of his tone underscores his concern, and my heart just...melts.
Secretly.
“Nothing’s wrong.” Because technically...I’ve yet to determine if hearing is thoughts is a fluke or something to worry about.
“Then what were you thinking about when you were looking at me earlier?”
Good question.
But since I can’t seem to make myself admit the truth for some reason—
“I was, um, wondering—”
Think, Sam!
“—about how last night would change things between us?”
Phew.
It might not be the complete truth, but it’s no lie either since it’s something I really want to know as well.
“It changes nothing.”
But now I’m suddenly thinking maybe I should’ve let sleeping dogs lie because that’s definitelynotwhat I expected to hear.
“You were mine the moment I found you again.”
Oh. My. Staaa—aaaaah!
In yet another breathless, jaw-dropping, mind-spinning burst of preter speed, Hexius already has me on my lap, the covers falling from my naked body as he takes my mouth in a deep, drugging kiss that has me clutching his shoulders even as my legs wrap automatically around his waist.
Another blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment passes, and he’s on his feet, I’m pressed against the wall, andaaaaah!
All I can do is whimper as his mouth latches to one aching breast while I feel his hand between our bodies, unbuckling his belt and unzipping his pants until—
Hexius.
He thrusts inside of me, and I start seeing stars.
