He pulled me closer, and he fully looped his arm around my lower back just as the fingers of the other hand tangled in my hair.
My hands were pinned between us as I hung on, and I could feel the intensity increase.
Could feel the desire curl through his massive, vibrating body.
The way he wanted to take it deeper.
Devour me. Ruin me. Wreck me.

The man’s eyes were a toiling mess of greed.
Body twitching in volatility and restraint.

River
Favorite color? Tell me it’s pink like those sheets I got a peep at on your bed. Pink like those distracting scrubs you always wear. Same as the pink that flushes your cheeks when you’re turned on. Because I’m pretty sure that exact color just became my favorite.

Me
Pink is my favorite color.
River
Favorite food?
Me
Pizza. You?
River
Steak.
Why was I not shocked?
River
How old are you?
Me
Twenty-six. You?
River
Thirty-two.
