“Oh my God, I’m so sorry.”

Quickly, I snag a throw blanket off the couch and cover myself. “What are you doing here, Shay? It’s supposed to be my weekend here.” I see she's still turned away and say, “I’m decent.”

She turns around slowly. “I’m sorry. I didn’t think you’d be here. Today’s one of the days that I wait for Lochlyn at the library, but I forgot my notebook here, and I have to study for a test. I came back quickly to get it.”

My eyes narrow at her as something clicks in my mind. “How’d you get in? The door was locked.”

“Lochlyn gave me his key. I told him before that I forgot it, and he suggested I swing back.”

“You walked?” It’s not a far walk, but I doubt she’d have time to come here and get back before he was done.

“I drove.”

“Wait a second.” I hold a hand toward her because I’m just utterly floored. “Lochlyn let youdrivehis car?”

“Yes.” She seems so nonchalant about the whole ordeal.

“Wow. I mean, I know he loves you and all, but wow.”

“So, um, I’m going to just grab my notebook and be on my way.” She lowers herself a bit and points to the table behind me, which contains nothing but her spiral book.

She scoots around me and grabs her book, muttering a thanks as she brushes by me. And on her way out, Weston catches the door before it shuts, looking after her with his brows drawn together in confusion.

“Shay okay? She barely acknowledged me when I said hey. Did something happen between her and—” He stops talking when he sees me wrapped in the blanket, one eyebrow reaching up to his hairline. “Um, you cold?”

“No.”

“Then what’s going on here?”

“Close the door, and I’ll show you.”

As though he forgot he was holding it, he steps to the side, and it slowly shuts. Without taking his eyes off me, he reaches behind him and flips the lock.

That’s when I drop the blanket, the gray fleece pooling at my feet.

Weston’s backpack hits the floor just as fast, and his eyes bulge. “Fuck, baby. You get all dressed up for me?”

His signature cocky grin pulls the left side of his mouth a little higher than the right. It’s not something most people notice. But I have, since the first day I met him.

“Maybe.”

He crosses the room in three large strides, wrapping an arm around my waist and tugging me against him as the knuckles on his other hand trail down my cheek to my neck. “Maybe my ass.”

When he closes his mouth over mine, I wrap my arms around his neck and jump up, looping my legs around his waist and locking my ankles. His hands slide to my ass, giving a squeeze as his tongue slips through my lips.

Every time Weston kisses me, I lose all sense of time, of location, of everything but his mouth moving against mine. That’s why I don’t realize we’ve crossed the apartment to his room until he lowers me, closing the door and turning us around so he can press me up against it, one hand on my hip while the other wraps around my throat.

His chest vibrates against mine with a low hum as he takes me in, his gaze tracking from head to toe and his bottom lip planted firmly between his teeth. My heart races in anticipation, my body thrumming with a need that always exists when he’s this close to me.

“Mmm, so damn sexy. And all mine.” In one quick move, he spins us around and lowers me to the bed, then quickly flips me so I’m facedown.

My feet are still planted flat on the ground. Starting at my ankles, he licks his way up my legs and over my ass, grabbing my thong in his teeth and letting it snap back with a loudthwack.

“Ow.”

“Pleasure means pain sometimes, sweetness. But don’t worry, you’ll get the pleasure part, too.” He slowly pulls down my thong, sliding his fingertips ever so lightly up my leg before slipping them along my soaking pussy. Two fingers dip inside me, and I bury my face in his comforter as I grip it tightly.

There’s something a little extra enticing, extra salacious about being practically naked while Wes fingers me, knowing he’s completely clothed. We’re not on an even playing field here, and I’m finding myself more and more okay with that with each and every exchange we have.
