I’m so damn hungry for more.
The course I’ve set is a dangerous one. If I were smart, I’d rethink each decision before making it.
But let’s be real, I’m way too far gone and that’s not going to happen.
“Hey, Wolf.”
My head snaps to the side only to realize that a pretty girl has sidled up next to me when I wasn’t paying attention. My gaze flickers to her for a second or two before returning to the entrance of the building. I’ve seen this chick around campus and at the bar, but I have no idea what her name is off the top of my head.
“Hey, how’s it going?” Even though I toss out the question, I don’t really give a shit about the response.
Unfortunately, she takes that as a green light to proceed and sidles closer.
A little too close for comfort.
“It’s good. What are you up to? Are you finished with classes for the day?”
My gaze flickers toward her for a second time. “Um, yeah. I’m waiting around for a friend.”
I wish there were a way to stop this convo in its tracks. In my mind, I can already see how it’ll play out. She’ll ask me to do something (probably head back to her place), and I’ll turn her down flat.
“Oh.” She tucks a stray lock of shoulder-length blonde hair behind her ear. “I thought maybe if you weren’t busy—”
I straighten to my full height as Fallyn steps into the sunshine. Her long, inky-colored hair falls around her shoulders as she scans the thick crowd. Her lips look as if she’s wearing stain on them, but I know it’s just their natural color. She’s never been one to wear a lot of makeup.
And damn if that isn’t sexy.
The sheer force of her beauty hits me like a punch to the gut every single time. It’s been that way since we were kids. Back then, I was too young to understand what it meant.
All I knew was that I wanted to protect and watch over her.
Be as close as possible.
There’s a natural pull between us.
Like an invisible string slowly being reeled in.
At least for me there is.
And it’s only deepened with time.
Keeping my distance all these years has been torture. Now that she’s back in my life, these little snippets of time I’ve been able to snatch are nowhere near enough to satiate the beast that lives deep within.
I crave more.
I crave everything.
Especially now that I’ve tasted her silky flesh.
I won’t be satisfied until every piece of her belongs to me.
Until I’m all she sees.
All she can think about.
Until her need is as ravenous as mine.
I have no idea if that’s even possible.
“Sorry, I gotta take off,” I mumble before the blonde can push out the rest.
The moment I step in Fallyn’s direction, her gaze slices to mine and she stumbles to a halt. A few people knock into her in their haste to escape the building before she explodes into movement. Her gaze shifts to the girl left behind in my wake before resettling on me again with narrowed eyes. People scatter out of my way as I move through the congestion that clogs the walkway until finally reaching her.
With a tilt of her chin, she holds my gaze. “What are you doing here?”
Now that she’s in front of me, close enough to wrap my hands around and haul against my body, it takes effort to keep my muscles loose.
Especially when the scent of her rosemary and mint shampoo teases my nostrils.
I want to breathe her deep into my soul and hold her captive until she no longer finds it necessary to fight the inevitable.
“I’ve got a little bit of time between class and practice. I thought maybe we could hang out.” I keep my voice casual so it comes out sounding like no big deal when nothing could be further from the truth.
“Where?”
Her response throws me off. I was expecting a flat-out denial and that I’d have to cajole her into spending time with me. I had a whole spiel worked out in my head.
Is it possible that I’m making a little bit of headway with her?
One side of my lips quirk. “It’s a surprise.”
The less she knows right now, the better.
When indecision flashes across her features, I realize she’s thinking about our last meeting set up for later this afternoon. As stupid as it sounds, I don’t want to have sex with Fallyn without spending more time together.
Anytime I shoot her a text, she barely responds.
So here I am…stalking her movements across campus.
It’s tempting to drag a hand down my face.
Is this really what it’s come to?
“I don’t know…”
The urge to reach out and touch her throbs through me. When it becomes almost too much to resist, I clench my hands at my sides.
“It’ll be fun, I promise.”
