“And tonight, you better be coming out with us since you bailed last night.”
I try to quickly think of a way out of it since I still need to find my phone, and a night curled up with a movie and pizza sounds much more appealing. I draw a blank, though, and as I finish packing up, I nod.
“Sure. But remember I’ve lost my phone so we should do pre-drinks at my place.”
“Excellent.” Ana presses a swift kiss to my cheek in delight, then we head down the steps toward the exit. A few feet from the door though, Finn calls my name.
“Emma, could you hang back for a minute?”
“Oooo,” Ana teases in a low voice. “Maybe he’s finally caving in.”
“Shut up.” I shove her lightly. “I’ll meet you by the coffee cart when I’m done.”
She nods, waves at me, and then hurries out of the class with the rest of the crowd. As I turn and head up the stage toward Finn, my stomach twists itself into knots and my heart flutters like it’s weightless. I might not have a chance with him but being in his presence is more than enough to get me excited.
“Is everything okay?”
Finn places his book upright on the desk, leaning onto it slightly as he watches me. “I heard that your car was broken into last week, and some stuff was stolen. Are you alright?”
There’s such intense concern in his eyes that the urge to reassure him desperately rises up, so I nod my head and press one hand to my abdomen as I chuckle.
“Yes, I’m fine. I wasn’t near it when it happened. I just found the aftermath. The cops are dealing with it though, and my dad’s working on getting it fixed so I’ll be back to normal by the weekend.”
“It’s still an awful thing to have happened,” Finn says as his brows pull together. “Do they have any idea who it was?”
“Nah. Honestly, the cops didn’t seem to care all that much, but my friend Megan told me there’d been a few crimes like that across campus, so I guess I was just next in line.” I lift one shoulder, half shrugging. “It's no big deal.”
“But your laptop?” Finn lifts one brow. “I heard a lot was stolen. Do you think you will need an extension on your assignment?”
Of course that is what he’s really concerned about. The assignments and not me. It’s difficult to swallow the rise of disappointment, but I force a smile and rummage in my bag.
“Don’t worry. I actually have a backup on a pen drive, although now that I’m here, I could just give you what I have already and then edit it through the cloud.”
My fingers close around the pen drive and I step over to his desk. Finn moves around me while I lean over and plug the drive into his computer. As my bag slips off my shoulder and thumps onto the floor, a sudden warm presence heats up against my back. I swallow hard as dryness sweeps across my tongue and down my throat, staring hard at the screen.
Then, Finn is against me. His chest presses against my back and he drapes over me like a blanket. One arm snakes around my waist while the other slides down my hip. Fingertips graze my bare thigh just below the hemline of my skirt. I breathe in, and the soft scent of parchment and whiskey fills my nose. He smells warm and comforting, and my heart skips a beat.
“Sir,” I gasp out, my voice trembling. “What are you doing?”
“Do you want me to stop?” His voice is like honey against my ear. His lips tease the outer shell of my ear and then his chest rises as he breathes me in. Just the thought of me flooding his senses is enough to make my core clench and dampness beads between my thighs. Bracing both hands on the desk, I don’t look away from the screen.
“No,” I whisper. “But … why?”
Why now? What’s different about today? What did I do that finally made this gorgeous hunk of man crack and give himself over?
“The thought of you in danger…” Finn groans and his arm tightens around my waist. As he presses against me, the hard ridge of his cock digs into the back of my leg, making me whimper.
“Every day you come in here and every day I have to fight with myself to resist.” His voice is low, and the vibrations rumble against my back. His fingertips skim underneath my skirt, stroking higher and higher to the hotter, softer skin of my inner thigh.
“Every day you come in here and flirt like it’s your only purpose, and every day I tell myself that I can’t have a taste because the rules are not worth breaking.”
My breath hitches and his fingers finally cup my mound, nestling between my legs. I gasp loudly, then bite on my lower lip to quiet myself. The door to the lecture hall is still ajar and one wrong sound could bring the wrong person hurrying back in.
“I’m not worth breaking those rules, huh?” I whisper, tilting my hips and arching back against him.
“Then I hear that someone broke into your car, and no one would tell me if you were hurt. If you were okay. And then I realized something.”
“What?” The files suddenly burst to life across the screen just as Finn’s fingers slide underneath my panties. The first touch against my bare pussy is electric and he slides three long fingers through my folds.
