His small, amused smile is enough to make my stomach drop to my toes. His lips brush mine, just the smallest of touches. The lightest kiss I’ve ever had, yet, as soon as he touches me, the world lights on fire.
“You drive me fucking crazy,” he murmurs against my lips and I can’t tell if he meant to say it out loud or not.
I let out a shaky breath, completely resigning myself to the fact that I’m doing something I shouldn’t.
So, since the damage is already done, I close the distance between us, kissing him lightly before pulling away. He doesn’t let me, following me until my head falls back to the creeper, and his lips stay locked with mine.
Slowly, like he’s savoring me, his tongue tangles with mine and my body melts into a puddle on the floor from the groan that reverberates through him.
There’s no love in his kiss. It’s pure sex. Uninhibited, volatile, soul-stealing sex.
“Fuck,” he rasps and a shiver rolls through me.
And I want every bit of it.
Until a throat clears.
I jump, almost bashing my head into Mason’s and he sits up on his knees, glowering at the person in the doorway.
I scramble away from him like we’re forbidden lovers caught in the act as none other than Mila Carpenter steps further around the car.
Oh, shit.
“What?” Mason snaps and she rolls her eyes.
“You really forgot?”
My stomach sinks, the overwhelming emotion of guilt surfacing.
“Hi, I’m Mila,” she greets, holding out her hand. I look down at my own greasy one and she chuckles, taking mine anyway and shaking it. “Mason’s little sis—”
She stops. Her eyes go wide and her mouth clamps shut.
Awkward tension builds in the air and for a moment, I think about leaping out the window in the garage door.
She knows.
Of course, she knows.
“Mason,” Mila says, voice higher than usual. She looks to Mason, who hangs like a dark cloud over my shoulder. “You didn’t tell me you were dating Hannah.”
“We aren’t together,” I say at the same time Mason says, “Didn’t know I had to.”
“Looked pretty together to me,” Mila mumbles. “Sorry, Hannah. I just thought you were someone else for a moment.”
Yeah, the woman who helped rip your family to shreds . . .
“It’s okay. No worries.”
Mila smiles, albeit a little tight-lipped, and turns back to her brother.
I can’t blame her for being apprehensive. She has no reason to trust me or even to be nice to me. For all she knows, I could be the same as Missy, ready to tear into her brother the same way Missy and Marcus tore into each other. She doesn’t know me.
“We need to leave. We have to be there in half an hour and you know traffic in the city’s going to be hell.”
“Just tell Mom I forgot. I’ve got a car to finish.”
“I can finish,” I volunteer, even though I have no idea what I’m doing. Mason shoots me a warning look. Somehow, he manages to pack more heat into the look than he could if he covered me in gasoline and lit a match.
