Time stopped. I focused on my breathing.In. Out. In. Out.
Morrie’s wicked grin held the world.
“What… are you going to do?” I whispered.
“Nothing,” Morrie said. “Until you make your own move. I won’t touch you until you beg for it, Mina. But I promise, youwillbeg for me.”
I won’t touch you until you beg for it, Mina.By Isis, my name sounded glorious on his lips.
I tried to laugh it off, but it came out like a high-pitched squeal. “This is ridiculous. I barely know you, and everything I do know tells me I should run away.”
“You do like running from your problems, don’t you?” he chuckled, and even though he was ribbing me, the sound sent a shudder of pleasure through me. My nipples hardened, the tips just brushing his skin. Heat pooled inside me.Astarte, help me, I’m going to come right here.
“It’s complicated.” Heathcliff’s name circled in my head, but as my stomach clenched and the heat rose inside me, I struggled to remember why I needed to talk to him.
“Not from where I’m standing,” Morrie whispered. “All it takes is for you to make the move, and things will becomes exquisitely simple.”
Don’t look down don’t look down don’t look—
I looked down.
Morrie’s cock stood to attention, thrusting out from his body like a man on a mission. As long as my forearm, and hard as a rock.
Hard for me.
He wants me.
He knows about my eyes, and he wants me.
He knows I’m a failure and that I gave up my dream, and he wants me.
He knows I kissed Heathcliff, and he wants me.
He knows I’m suspected of murdering my best friend, and he wants me.
“I’m scared,” I whispered.
“You weren’t scared the other day, in the alley.”
“That was different. Before…”
“Before Heathcliff kissed you and then ran away with his tail between his legs?”
I nodded, not trusting myself to speak.
“Sweet Mina, he only ran away because he’s scared like you. But the only people here now are you and me. Do I look like I’m afraid you’ll bite? Ihopeyou bite.”
I remembered in the alley, how he placed his hand in my mouth, how I bit down on his skin to contain the tigress that wanted to escape me. “I want you,” I whispered.
“Louder. I’m a bit hard of hearing.”
“I want you.” My whole body buzzed with fire.
“To do what?”
Why is this so hot?“To kiss me.”
“And?”
