“Piper,” he breathed out.

“I got you.”

Adam held out a hand and brought me forward, his eyes trailing over my body. The joke was gone. Finished. In its place, Adam drew me in closer. His dark eyes made me feel like I wasn’t wearing anything at all.

“Adam,” I warned. We weren’t exactly alone on the sidewalk.

Slowly, he nodded and opened the door for me.

“Thanks for driving,” I murmured, taking my place in the car.

He didn’t say anything. He just took the driver’s seat and we were off. The moment we zipped out of campus, Adam’s hand went to my thigh, covered by five layers of the dress.

“So where is the banquet?” I asked with a smile.

“We need to try that again.”

My eyebrows furrowed. “Try what?”

Adam brought the car along the curbside at a quiet street and opened the door. I gazed out at the neighborhood. There was no way they were holding the Romans banquet here. That just wasn’t happening. But Adam strode around the car and opened my door too.

“Is this…?” I frowned. “Um…where are we?”

“We have to try that again. Come on.”

I took his hand and stepped out of the car, a little difficult with the dress. Adam was insistent though. He set me on the sidewalk and when I tried to follow after him, he grabbed my shoulders and made me stay.

“Don’t move.”

I raised my eyebrows. “What are you doing?”

Adam made a long walk around the car and I watched him, confused, until he double-backed to walk over to me. His mouth fell open. He jogged ahead and grabbed me by the waist, whirling me around in the air.

“Adam!”

“You’re so goddamn beautiful! Fuck!” Adam shouted.

“Oh my god!” My mouth fell open. “Keep your voice down!”

“Gorgeous! You’re a fucking dream!”

“Adam, I swear—”

He wrapped his arms around me and yanked me forward, crashing his lips to mine.

I melted against him, kissing him longer. That’s what he wanted.

“There we go,” he murmured against my lips. “Thank you.”

“This isn’t the banquet?” I whispered.

“It’s my banquet.”

I giggled. “We have to get out of here before they call the cops on us.”

“Mm-hmm.” He smiled against my lips, pulling me in for another kiss, pressing me as close as he could, and dipping down to give my neck, long, slow kisses.

“Adam.”
