“Okay,” I whispered.
My insides were a jumbled mess as I took his hand, letting him lead me toward the house. Would I sleep with him? Did he want to sleep with me? There were so many questions running through my mind as we made our way up the stairs to the line of closed doors to various bedrooms.
He stopped us in front of the third door, gripping my hand. “Here’s your room. I’ll be right next door if you need anything.”
I gaped at him but quickly masked the expression.
He wasn’t going to sleep with me?
I thought… Hell, after the kiss we had outside, I thought for sure he wanted more.
“Thank you,” I replied, unsure of what to do or say.
Did I want him to leave?
I knew we only had a few more days together, and then I’d never see him again. I already liked him way more than I wanted, and it would be dangerous to my heart to let myself fall even further.
“You can come in if you want,” I blurted, ignoring my inner voice trying to warn me away from him.
He squeezed my fingers as his eyes roamed my face. “Only if you want me to.”
I gulped, unsure exactly what I wanted. “I do,” I said without another moment’s hesitation, sounding surprisingly sure of myself, which I wasn’t.
“We can just talk.”
I raised an eyebrow, not really wanting to talk all night, but there was one thing I could do with him for hours. “And kiss?”
He laughed softly, his blue eyes sparkling. “And kiss.”
My hand moved to the knob, opening the door, and I pulled him inside. I didn’t even look around the room. I was too busy staring at Austin, his handsome face, and the hungry look in his eyes.
We weren’t even five steps inside the room before he kicked the door closed with one foot and grabbed me around the waist with his hands, planting his lips on mine. There was no hesitation as our bodies collided and our mouths moved together.
This time, I didn’t keep my hands around his shoulders. I let them roam his body, sweeping over the hard planes of his stomach and his firm pecs. He was nothing but mouthwatering muscle without an ounce of fat anywhere on his body. Even as I moved my hands to his back, sliding them down to his ass, I was met with two ass cheeks so hard they were like granite.
“Damn,” I whispered against his lips, dragging my hands up to his back. “You’re so…” The words died in my throat as his lips glided to my neck.
I tilted my head to the side, letting him taste my flesh as I dug my fingernails into the taut skin of his sides. Just as I was starting to pant, Austin’s lips were gone.
“What are you doing?”
He licked his lips, smiling ruefully. “I can’t.”
I drew my eyebrows down, confused. “You can’t what?”
“We shouldn’t do this. After this weekend, I’ll be gone, and you’ll be here. The last thing I want to do is break your heart.”
I jerked my head back, trying not to slap him in his crazy-ass mouth. “You’re worried about breaking my heart?”
He nodded with the smirk still firmly planted on his sexy lips.
“Listen, Austin. You’re hot and kind of pretty, but just because we have sex doesn’t mean I’m going to be begging for you to put a ring on it.”
“Darlin’,” he murmured, reaching out to cup my cheek. “After one night with me, no other man will do.”
“You are so full of it.” I shook my head, grabbing his shirt and pulling him closer. “Maybe you’re not man enough to handle me, or maybe, just maybe, you’re the one falling for me. Are you scared of falling for me, Austin?” I challenged him, knowing full well he was the type of man who never liked to admit anything scared him.
“I’m not scared of you, Dynasty.”
