“I don’t have a seat belt,” I sneered.
Without hesitation, Liam wrapped both arms around my waist as the car lurched forward. “There,” he said.
My eyes bulged, but I turned my head and pretended to be unaffected. His body heat was almost concerning, but I couldn’t help but relax into him, letting the chill from outside disappear.
Milton hit his drumsticks on the dashboard, matching the tempo of the song playing through the speakers. How was he not tired of drumming after the show?
Danny turned up the volume, rocking his head to the beat.
“Tic! How many times do I have to tell you? Not on my car!” Nikko shouted over the music and banging.
Milton changed his use of drums to his water bottle, making the beats crackle louder on the plastic.
Nikko shot forward, cradling Nina to the side, and ripped the sticks out of his hands, but Milton just laughed and started tapping his fingers on his thigh.
I rolled my eyes.Boys.
We hit a bump, heading out of the parking lot, and I bounced up and down right on top of Liam’s groin. I stiffened and then heard him laugh under his breath.
My anger with him resurfaced. First, he’d kissed me. What the hell was that about? He’d had a million other girls to choose from, and I would have a hard time believing he hadn’t recognized me. Was it another joke? Another way for him to humiliate me? And then he had gotten Zayn and his date removed from the show completely, probably ruining the one chance I’d had at being friends with him in one fell swoop.
“Relax, Avery. It’s a long drive,” Liam whispered close to my ear.
Tingles spread across my skin from where his nose lightly touched my neck, awakening the goose bumps again. A shiver escaped me, making my next exhale shake.
He unlatched his hold on me and rubbed the sides of my arms. “Are you cold?”
I shook my head, feeling heat trickle down my body, all the way to my toes. “Not at all.”
Liam skimmed the bumps on my arms that were slowly disappearing. Shifting me slightly, he slid his nose up from the nape of my neck to the curve of my jaw, inhaling what was left of my perfume. I could feel his smile against my skin as he knowingly made it pucker from his touch.
“Am I affecting you, Little Fox?”
I swallowed hard and squeezed my legs together as tension worked its way to my core.
But I could now feel that my small movements were affecting him as well, and my heart raced with excitement. I glanced around the car as Liam grew harder beneath me, and when I realized everyone was preoccupied, I dipped my chin low enough to graze his earlobe.
“Careful, Liam. Two can play this game.”
I swiveled my hips again, earning a low growl in return.
Liam’s fingers dug into my hips, caught between keeping me still and grinding against my ass.
I couldn’t stop the smile creeping its way to my lips.
Lips.
Oh God. His lips.
They swept over my cheek, inches from my own.
I moved again, applying pressure to where we both wanted it most, and this time, he thrust back. A small thrust but a delicious one at that.
Desire exploded in the pit of my stomach. I wanted more.
Liam’s hand threaded up the back of my head, fisting the blue hair and locking his eyes with mine. “Avery. Stop.”
His throaty plea only made me want him more. I worked my hips over and over, making short but forceful movements, reveling in the way his bulge hit every nerve to near perfection.
