“Are you all not spending the night in here?” He asked.

“You made her go quiet,” Annalise said at the same time as Lukas’s question.

I blinked slowly, still coming down from the kiss.

“Lukas, come on. After a kiss like that, you’re supposed to take her upstairs and blow her back out,” Eloise said—apparently alcohol completely got rid of the tiny filter she had.

I heard Annalise choke, and my face heated.

Lukas bent down and caught my gaze. His voice was like warm honey as he spoke, his fingers once again trailing down my cheek, his thumb once again catching my bottom lip. My eyes didn’t leave his as he stared at me.

“As much as I would love to take you back up to my room, andblow your back out, as your friend so eloquently put it, you’ve been drinking, and I will not be doing that…tonight. Beautiful drunk girls cannot give consent.”

“ButIkissed you,” I breathed, his thumb moving with my lips.

“Yes, and against my better judgment, I let you, and kissed you back,” he said, his gaze dropping to my lips, before it bounced back to mine.

“Do you regret it?” I whispered, really wishing Eloise and Annalise were literally anywhere else besides sitting next to me.

I felt like making really,reallybad choices that would be so good. Lukas leaned in, his thumb doing that little brushing motion on my lip and it was taking every ounce of self-control tonotlick it.

“Not. At. All,” he said, his eyes never leaving mine, and holy shit.

He stood up and walked away, leaving me sitting nearly panting and definitely wanting on the couch as he grinned and shut the door to the library behind him.

“I think I might need to go change my underwear,” Eloise said.

And I grabbed a pillow and buried my face in it and squealed.
