Killian marched around the jacuzzi, and I trailed his broad shoulders to the little niche in the corner of the room. A massive four-poster bed stood with gauzy curtains wrapped around the dark exotic wood that made up the posts.
“Where are you sleeping tonight?” I eyed the oversized king bed, and that anxiety bubbled back to the surface.
“That’s funny, Red.”
“They didn’t have a room with two beds?” Even I could hear the irritating high pitch in my tone.
“Nope.” He popped the P like a total asshole.
Awesome. Guess I was sleeping on the floor then. Or maybe on that hammock on the balcony.
He dropped onto the mattress and stretched out, his black shirt riding up to reveal those perfectly carved abs and the sharp V leading to?—
Nope. Nope. Not going there.
I strolled across the room to the enormous windows that were actually sliding glass doors. Pressing my hand to the glass, it slid open, revealing a balcony over the lagoon. A private staircase led right to the mesmerizing blue waters below.
I couldn’t decide what I wanted to do first: dive into the shimmering pool or soak in the warm hot tub.
Heated breath ghosted across the shell of my ear, sending goosebumps rippling over my bare arms. I could feel Killian’s warmth behind me even before I turned around.
“You ready, Red?”
My heart smashed against my ribcage at the jagged edge to his tone. “Ready for what?”
His arm snaked around my waist and forced me back a step and into his unyielding frame. The heat of his body—his now naked body—leached through my clothes. Shit. Why was he naked? His hard cock brushed against my ass, sending heat unfurling between my legs.
“It’s time to make good on my promise.”
CHAPTER 31
RIGHT WHERE I WANT HER
Killian
Instead of pushing me away, Lexi melted in my arms, her chest heaving with each shaky breath. A crimson flush spread across her skin, and her nipples peaked against her shirt.
“I-I’m not having sex with you, Killian.” The husky rasp to her words made her declaration less than believable. “Back off before I toss you over this balcony.”
My chuckle stirred the delicate hairs around her face.
“As if you could.” I swiped her hair over her shoulder and kissed her neck, the shiver rippling through her body giving me another dose of satisfaction. I had her right where I wanted her. “You’ve been dreaming about having my cock buried inside you, haven’t you? It’s time to stop pretending to be disgusted.”
Lexi scoffed. “Youdodisgust me.”
“Have it your way. Since you insist on being such a bad girl, I’ll have to punish you.” My hand slid between her legs, cupping her warm pussy. “The things I’m going to do to you will have you begging me to let you come.”
Her head fell back against my chest, and her eyelids closed, her dark lashes fanning her flawless cheeks. “We’re here for a school project. Stop trying to turn this into some sex-fueled getaway.”
“You’re the one who’s grinding on my hand, Red.” I rolled my hips, rubbing my hard dick into her ass.
My fingers slipped inside the waistband of her shorts, ready to yank them off and fuck her against the balcony. Then my phone rang.
A string of curses plowed through my mind. I would have ignored the call, but I’d asked Gage to keep an eye on Bass. If my stepbrother was investigating the mystery girl, or Lexi, I needed to know.
“Saved by the bell, Red.” I grabbed her jaw, forced her head toward me, and gave her a rough, savage kiss. “For now.”
Her dramatic scowl only made me smile as I headed inside to grab my phone off the dresser. But the name on the screen sent my anxiety skyrocketing.
