“Move in with me,” he said again.Cutting her off.He wasn’t going to give her time to overthink.He’d thought enough about it for both of them.
Letting his lips brush hers, he repeated his demand.“Move in with me, baby.”Another brush, this time his touch lingered, long enough to swipe his tongue across the seam.“Let me love you the way I want to, NeNe.”
He captured her lips that were already parted and waiting.Swallowing Bethany’s whimper as he used his free hand to grip her hips and haul her body into him.
This was a fight he was determined to win, and he was willing to play dirty.
CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
“You’re moving in withhim?”Lucy looked just as confused as Bethany felt.
“I don’t know what happened.”Bethany shook her head.“One minute I was showing him the apartment and the next I was agreeing to move in with him.”
That was a lie.She knew exactly what happened.Benny had not only dropped the L word, he’d also worked his voodoo sex magic on her with his stupid mouth.His clever fingers.And his giant...
Okay, stop!
The point was, she’d been put in a compromising situation where she would have basically agreed to anything.And did.
“Anyway.”Bethany shook her head, she was getting distracted.“Tell me more about this Mark guy?”
Lucy turned back to the vanity to continue doing her make up.Bethany had helped curl giant waves into her hair already, and was now sitting on the bathtub edge, watching her friend get ready for a date.
“Uh,” Lucy pulled a tube of mascara out of her shiny pink bag and started applying it to her long lashes.“He just moved back from the city, apparently, he grew up here.Well, he went to Goldacre High, so near here, anyway.And his parents live in Woodvalley now.”
“Does that mean he’s living with his parents?”Bethany frowned.“How old is he?”
Lucy shot her a ‘really’ look in the mirror.“People in glass houses, B!”she reprimanded.She supposed she deserved that.Who was she to judge when she was still crashing on her friend’s couch.“And he’s thirty.”
“And you met on one of those apps?”
“Yep.”
“You’re seriously not gonna give me any more details?”
Bethany was trying her hardest to not make tonight’s date a big deal.But itwasa big deal.A huge fucking deal.Lucy, her shy friend, did not date.Ever.And other than admiring the odd movie stars’ physique in passing while they watched a film, she never, ever, talked about guys.And when Bethany asked about her romantic life, she was shut down.Quickly.
