I can’t help the smile that tugs up the edges of my lips, which he mirrors before stepping into the foyer and opening his arms to ask for a hug.

I roll my eyes, naturally, taking the three steps towards him to nuzzle into his chest. He smells clean, like he showered before he came here, I catch a hint of his manly cologne before I pull back and look at him – spice and musk.

“Summer’s last name is Knight. What are you doing here, Travis?”

He huffs out a laugh, “I missed you, pretty girl.”

My stomach drops even farther, if possible, I get the urge to check the ground at my feet to see if it’s there.

I want to scream, smile, crazy laugh and mount him all at the same time.

I take a breath through my clogged throat and pop an eyebrow, “Youmissedme?”

He squints at me before taking a step forward and closing the distance between us again, reaching out to run his hand down my arm.

My skin pebbles in goosebumps, I’m mildly aware of my nipples now standing at attention through my thin tank top.

He grins before pulling me even closer, and kissing along my jaw, “You didn’t miss me?”

His hands explore my waist, my hips, my ass, making my eyes roll in the back of my head and my breath catch in my throat. I’m nodding before I know what I’m doing, then he’s lifting me up and I’m wrapping my legs around his waist, my sweatpants pulling tight on my thighs.

He spins us, pressing me against the wall next to the elevator before smashing his lips against mine and groaning into my mouth.

His hands are slipping into the waistband of my pants and gripping at my bare ass before I can take another breath. He’s kissing me and groping me like he’s starving for me, it’s making my head swim but I can’t help grinding on the thickness he’s pressing into me between my legs.

His mouth feasts on mine, his hands squeezing and kneading me under my sweats, and I’m weak as fuck for it. I’m paralyzed for him, a ragdoll that will do anything he wants.

“Well, look what we’ve got here.”

Summer’s voice breaks through the sexual fog that I now live in with Travis, and I squeal a little out of surprise. Travis pulls away, hiding his head in my neck, his chest shaking with laughter.

I look across the room at my best friend, “Well, hello Little Miss Cockblock.”

She snorts, her mouth pulling tight in a stupid grin across her mouth, “Am I supposed to enjoy our girl’s day all by myself? Elena just became a vampire.”

I roll my eyes and wiggle my hips to get Travis to release me, then slip my legs down the wall to stand.

“I’ll be right there, Sum.”

She hums as she walks backwards back into the kitchen, and winks at me before she leaves my line of sight.

Travis gives me a look as if to sayI know what you’re fucking doing.And I give him a little smile in response.

He laces his fingers in mine and squints a little, “Can I take you out tonight, pretty girl?”

“I am going to a party tonight.”

He leans a little closer to me, his mouth level with mine, “Tomorrow, then?”

I sigh, “Travis.”

His eyes fall downward as he grips my hands a little tighter, “Why are you fighting this?”

I shake my head, “I don’t date.”

His hands drop mine and he takes a step back, spreading his hands out as if to put himself on display and the grin he gives me shows off his dimples. “Whatever you want from me, take it. I’ll be whatever you need.”

I laugh a little, “That’s the thing though, Travis. I don’tneedanything.”
