“You can’t know that.”
He smiled. “Babe, Icanknow that. We’re not one percenters.”
“I don’t even know what that means.”
“I’ll explain it to you one day. I promise.”
“I’m not good with crowds,” I confessed.
Austin gave me a sexy grin. “We can go to my room anytime you want to. Just say the word.”
“You live there?”
“No. But I have a room there should I need it.”
“See? I don’t even know where you live,” I said.
“I’ll take you home sometime. We’re gettin’ to know each other. It’ll happen.” He cupped my neck and thumbed my pulse. “What’s really goin’ on inside your head, Dani?”
“It’s just that I know nothing about you and you’re taking me to a place with people who know everything about you and with whom I have nothing in common. What will I talk about?”
“Whatever the fuck you wanna talk about.”
“Well, that’s helpful. Thank you.”
“Babe. Get dressed. It’s gonna be fine.”
I drew my eyebrows together. “What if I follow you?”
“What?”
I bit my lip. “I’ll follow you to the party. That way, you can stay if you want to, but I can leave if it’s too much.”
“Hell no.”
“Why not?”
“My woman is not driving herself to a fuckin’ family get together, Dani. That’s why.”
“I’mnotyour woman!” I pointed out.
“What the fuck?”
“We’ve known each other for less than a week,” I continued. “I’m not your woman. We’re not anything yet.”
His mouth landed on mine with an intensity I wasn’t prepared for. He tugged the towel from my head and slid open my robe, cupping my breast and rolling my nipple between his fingers. Guiding me to the bed, he pushed me down, placing one hand on my chest to keep me planted where he wanted me, while his mouth moved from my lips to my neck.
“Austin?” I rasped.
He didn’t reply as he drew a nipple into his mouth and bit gently. I gasped at the sensation. Austin pushed open my knees, sliding my thighs over his shoulders and began a delicious assault on my clit. I whimpered as he sucked, licked, and kissed his way around my most private area.
He slid one finger inside of me, and then two, and as much as I tried to resist the fire burning inside of me, it was useless. I cried out as my orgasm hit and he kissed my inner thighs before releasing my shaking legs and climbing back up my body. “You are absolutely my fuckin’ woman, Dani. Got me?”
I squeezed my eyes shut.
“Dani,” he pressed. “Do you get me?”
“No, Austin, I don’t,” I admitted as I pulled my robe closed again and sat up. “You confuse me.”
