“Well, you’re not exactly known for your solid boundaries.”
“Ouch. Harsh.”
“Sorry, but it’s true. Look at what we’re doing behind my brother’s back.”
His thumb rubs back and forth over mine, and I relax a tiny bit.
“This is entirely different. I’m single, you’re single. We’re grown-ass adults. If we want to get involved with each other, I’m sure Danny will be fine with it. We just have to keep things civil between us if…”
My breath hitches in my throat, heart hammering double-time.
“If what?”
Colt’s Adam’s apple bobs in his neck, a vein throbbing at his temple. “You know—when we go our separate ways.”
Disappointment lodges hard in my gut and I try not to show it. After all, we have a no-strings-attached policy firmly in place.
“Right. Because we’re keeping it casual. It’s better all around if no one knows. Just like we agreed.” I force my voice to sound stern and businesslike.
“Exactly.” Colt nods, but keeps holding my hand, and now I’m more confused than ever.
Because a part of me wants Colt to stay and not go back to L.A. But I know that’s definitely not the game plan. It’s better for everyone if we stick to the original friends-with-benefits strategy. That way no one gets hurt and we’re both free to live our best lives. Separately.
But why does that thought make me so sad?
CHAPTER 17
COLT
Hearing Trix talk about sticking to the game plan and keeping things casual hits me harder than I’d like to admit.
C’mon, Wild. Get your shit together, man. You have big plans—and they do not include getting stuck back here in Peach Springs.
No matter how appealing Trix is, the sheer fabric of her dress clinging to her curves, emphasizing her round, full breasts. The way she leans into my touch, her body so responsive when I stroke her smooth skin. How she flushes, her lips parting slightly, giving away her secret desires.
I glance over at her as I make the turn into the apartment parking lot. Her lip’s between her teeth again and she’s gnawing at the flesh like a starving bunny.
“Didn’t you get enough to eat at your brother’s?” I park the car, cut the engine.
“Huh?” Her head swivels to face me, but she doesn’t stop chewing.
Wordlessly, I reach out and thumb at her bottom lip. Her breath’s warm on the rough pad of my thumb and I instantlyharden, my pants now uncomfortable. She’s so damn fuckable and I can’t wait another second to feel that mouth on mine.
Leaning over the console, I touch my lips to hers. Lightly at first, then with more pressure. A soft moan fills the cab of the truck and she wraps her hands around my neck, tickling my nape with a whisper-soft touch. I lick at the seam of her mouth and she opens to me, the carefully constructed dam of self-restraint between the two of us crumbling.
Our tongues collide, hot and ruthless, dancing and tasting each other. She’s sweet and earthy from the wine, softly panting into my mouth. Her fingers twine in my hair as I drop my lips to her neck, kissing down the long, graceful column all the way to her chest. I suck at the tender skin, licking and nipping before pulling her dress down and freeing her breasts from the satin bra.
“God, you have fantastic tits,” I murmur, my lips vibrating in her cleavage. I thumb at her nipple and the tight bud pebbles at my touch. “So damn luscious.” I circle the sharp point with my tongue and she shivers, her head thrown back.
“Colt—” She groans my name as I work her breasts, rolling one nipple, then the other between my fingers until she writhes against the leather.
“I want to taste you, Trix.” My palm presses up between her legs and she grinds down on my hand.
“Mmm—” is all she manages.
“Let’s go inside. So I can take care of you properly.”
I unlock the door and circle around, but Trix is already out of the truck, her dress resituated like nothing happened. She doesn’t say anything, jogging to the door and unlocking it. We hurry inside, slamming the heavy wood behind us.
