It was a command, an order she had no problem with. It was something she wanted before, but hearing him say it in that dominating way almost drove her crazy with desire. And when he lowered his head and kissed her, Adriana didn’t bother stopping the moan that pushed past her lips and into his mouth. His hand grabbed her waist even harder than before, surprised when she pushed into the hold, her hand clutching his chest as she pushed her breasts against him.

He wanted something soft and sweet. She wanted hard and fiery. One hand on her face, and he was back in charge, his hand holding her in place as his lips tortured her deliciously. He sipped at her lips softly, then took them into his mouth. Adriana whimpered when he bit her lips, her legs pushed together to stave off the onslaught of sensation that assailed her between them. He deepened the kiss, and there was no stopping it. Not the feeling of heat and wet she felt between her legs. Not the moan that came out of her mouth as she returned the kiss. Not the small jerk of her body as she felt his hard cock push into her waist. It was electrifying, knowing he was hard because of her. His hand went around her shoulder, holding her in place as he kissed her. Adriana wanted her hands up so she could run them over the hard planes of the chest she had felt beneath the light T-shirt he had on. But he did not let up, even when she struggled with him. That feeling of imprisonment was hot, and she found she loved it, hated the frustration that came with it, but loved feeling the strength of his hold.

Odysseus lifted his head and looked down at the girl who was, in that moment, tearing through his defenses like they were made of cardboard boxes.

“You’ll see me again,” he said, watching as her throat worked as she swallowed and pushed down the urge to lean down and bite her there. Not to hurt. Just enough to leave his mark on her because she was his. He had no idea how, except he knew there was nothing she’d ask for he wouldn’t give her.

Adriana nodded, unable to deny him if she wanted to, not with the way he was looking at her. His eyes made promises that made her heart beat faster and her hands clutch harder.

Odysseus smiled. “You’re driving me crazy, you know that? The way you look at me, when you part your lips like that. Almost as if you’re begging me to kiss you again. Only thing is that if I kiss you here, there is no way I’m stopping until we’re both naked and I can make you scream out my name as I fuck you.”

Adriana gasped, shocked by the candor in his gaze and the language he used. Maybe it was why she blurted out her next words without thinking.

“I’m a virgin.”

Then she immediately regretted it, and saw his eyes shut down as he took a step back. She would have punched herself in the mouth if it wouldn’t have made her look even dumber. Everything had been going well. For the first time in a long time, she was talking to a guy she really liked. Then she had to go and spoil all of that with her big mouth. Now thinking of how to make her exit while retaining the little dignity she still had left, Adriana stared down at her sneakers.

“No way!” Odysseus whispered loudly.

Adriana looked up at him. “What?”

“No way you’re still a virgin.”

Adriana frowned. “Wait, you think I’m lying?”

Odysseus paused. “Not really. Just finding it hard to believe you went to a school with guys, spend most of your time in a place predominantly frequented by guys, and still haven’t had sex. Not when you look like that and know the things you know.”

She shrugged, not sure why he would be doubting her. “The guys that came to the alley didn’t really think of me like that.”

“Bullshit.”

“What?”

“You mean they did, but you just never noticed it, and since you didn’t notice it, you didn’t do anything to encourage it. And those idiots were too scared to ask you out . . .” He paused and looked at her. “Or they did ask you out, and you turned them down.”

“No, they didn’t.”

“Okay, on a normal, good day, how many times do they ask you to come grab lunch with them, go for an ice cream, or maybe come to their house to check out a new game they bought?”

“Not . . .” Adriana stopped as she really thought back to all the times she used to spend with the guys who came to the alley and their conversations. “Maybe a few times.”

“You mean a lot of times.”

“Well, yeah. But that doesn’t mean they were asking me out. They were just being—”

“What? Friendly?” Odysseus snorted. “Come on, Adriana. Like hell they were, and I know that because if I was one of those guys, I would have asked you out to lunch or invited you to grab an ice cream with me. Bought a hundred useless games just so I could tell you to come check out this new game I just bought. Where I’m different from those saps is that when you said no, I was going to pull you to a corner and tell you what I really want.”

Adriana lost her breath as she saw the look in his eyes. “And what exactly do you want?”

Odysseus shrugged. “If you’re asking for specifics, I don’t really know. But what I do know is that I want to see you tomorrow, and the day after that, and the day after, and on and on like that until I know you in every way possible. Even biblically.”

Adriana snorted a laugh as she blushed. “I thought you’d be put off by the fact that I am . . . You know.”

“A virgin?” he said in an offhanded manner. “Are you kidding? Now I’m even more interested in you. By now, I don’t think I need to mention I am insanely attracted to you.”

“Yeah, I felt your huge attraction for me earlier.”

The sight of him laughing at her pun had Adriana feeling pleased with him, and she realized that somehow, they were once again standing really close to each other.
