“We have to stop,” I murmur, as I try to take my lips off her, but it’s impossible.
My fingers slide underneath her hoodie, craving that touch, that closeness as I let my hands roam across her pretty body. All mine.
“Just a little more,” she whimpers. “Please.”
Her begging is enough to make a man want to go to his knees as my tongue rolls around her mouth, and a needy moan escapes her throat.
I take off her hoodie and drop it on the floor.
“I know we shouldn’t,” she murmurs as I let my tongue travel all over her neck and kiss her beneath her ear.
“They’ll kill me if they find out you’re here with me,” I whisper, biting her earlobe as my fingers find their way to her nipples, twisting them so she’ll moan some more. God, I’m so fucking greedy when it comes to her. “But if I die now, it’s worth it.”
“No,” she says with a hampered breath. “I can’t. Not after I saved you, not after I’ve …”
She swallows her words as I bite down on her shoulder, greedily taking what I shouldn’t. And I can’t help but push myself up against her, my bulge hardening more and more with every passing second.
But a knock on the door makes her pull back, and the spell is broken.
Fuck, what a mood killer.
“Enough,” a voice growls through the door. “I know what you’re doing in there.”
I frown and whisper, “You brought Grey here?”
“I told him to watch the door,” she says, swallowing. “So no one will see us exiting together.”
“It’s time,” Grey adds.
She opens the door, but I slam it closed and grab her face one last time for another kiss, just one more. One. That’s all I’m asking for. That’s all I need. All I crave.
Just. One. More. Kiss.
When her lips leave mine, it feels empty, but I know she has to leave sometime and go back to being with Grey, back to pretending I’m someone she hates.
God, how can we ever keep this up?
“See you tonight?” she asks.
I peck her on the forehead. “In my bed. I’ll bring the plugs.”
She grins and swiftly exits the room, closing the door behind her, while my heart palpitates in my throat. And fuck me, now I’m going to have to wait until the boner disappears.
After a few minutes, there’s another knock.
“You can come out now, Loverboy.”
I roll my eyes and pull open the door, where a smirking Apollo waits for me with his hand against the doorpost. “What are you doing here?”
“Making sure no one knows you were here,” he muses. “Aspen sent me.”
“Right. Because we need a chaperone.”
“Just covering our tracks, that’s it,” he says as we both walk out into the hallway.
A bunch of students passing us by giggle, and I narrow my eyes when everyone we see starts gossiping behind our backs.
“Are you noticing something?” I ask.
“No, why?” Apollo replies without even looking at me.
“They’re staring at us. And talking.”
“Can’t help it. They adore the pecs.” He flexes his arms.
My eyes nearly roll into the back of my head. “Sure, bighead.”
A fellow gym rat high-fives Apollo on the way to our next class. And when a girl walks past us, she says, “Is two enough for you or do you want a third?” She winks at him.
I frown at him. “What did you do?”
“Oh nothing,” he says, shrugging. “They’re all jealous because I just casually announced over the loudspeaker that I’m fucking both Grey and Aspen.”
I stop in my tracks. “YOU DID WHAT?”
CHAPTER 59
Levi
“Are you fucking for real? You just announced to the fucking world that the Torres family is involved with the Carusos!”
“Hey, there are two Torreses families here. Mine is not yours.”
“The world doesn’t see it like that, asshole,” I say, punching his shoulder. “If her parents find out, they’re going to kill me.”
“Hold your horses there. I didn’t tell anyone you were involved.”
“It. Doesn’t. Fucking. Matter,” I say through gritted teeth. “You put a target on her when we were trying to stay under the radar.”
“The attention will die down, don’t worry,” he says, like it’s all so simple.
I guess it is to a simpleton like him.
“When? After they’ve come for me and ripped me apart, limb from limb?” I quip.
“They won’t. Like I said, I put the attention on her, me, and Grey. You’re still off the hook. Relax, bro.”
“That’s easy for you to say when no one’s trying to kill you.”
“Oh really?” He raises a brow, looking at me.
I fold my arms. “I fucking might after you pulled this stunt.”
“Proving my point.” He snorts. “You worry too much.”
“You worry too little,” I reply.
He taps my forehead. “Or maybe I’m the only sane one out of the four of us.”
I grab his finger and nearly break it. “If you’re the cause of my death … better pray for fucking mercy because I will fucking come to haunt your ass until you die of annoyance.”
