Finally she meets my eyes. I can see a wealth of emotions in her. But the rarest one—the one I can’t recount ever seeing in her—stands out the most. Uncertainty.
“No, I’m sorry.”
I lean back against the wall, gently pulling her with me. It’s comfortable for me to lean one leg out and she just so happens to take a step on either side of it. Like she did last night in the basement. But I can’t do what I want with her. Can’t slide my thigh up higher and give her some friction between her legs. Last time I made a move, she ran off. Even though I never saw her as the running type.
“You don’t have to apologize.” I scowl at her. “I’m fine.”
A beat passes and her lip tips up in the corner. “You don’t look fine.” She brings her thumb to my forehead first, and then both thumbs to each end of my lips. “There. That’s better.”
“You said last night that that was worse.”
She gives me a sheepish look and a one shoulder shrug. “I lied.”
“You lied?” I tease, tugging her just a little bit closer. “I didn’t see you as the lying type.”
“Sometimes, for self-preservation, I might release a little white lie out into the universe.”
“Why the need for self-preservation, Teegan?” I rest her hand on my chest and reach for her hips with both hands.
“You’re hot enough when you’re grumpy, Daughtry.”
I’m shocked. Truly. I had no clue that Teegan ever thought about me that way. I slump a little against the wall, jutting my leg out a little bit more. My thigh brushes the inside of hers and I see her whole body shiver. I haven’t slept around a lot, but I know when a woman’s turned on, and by the intense hunger in her eyes, I know what she wants.
So I risk it.
I pull her pussy over my thigh and rub against her slowly. The immediate heat from her is almost my undoing.
Her arms are cradled into between our chests and her breathing is coming in heavier.
“Daughtry, this isn’t a good idea.”
Fuck. I know it’s not. But I can see her body needs a release. Right here in the dark hallway around the corner from the bathrooms isn’t ideal.
When she lets out a small whimper, she presses up on her toes and whispers in my ear. “This is really not a good idea. I’m not wearing any panties.”
Fuck.
My brain just recircuited. You could ask me what two plus two is and I’d say five. Or banana.
My fingers dig into her hips.
“What do you want me to do about that, Teegan?”
Her hands are cupping my jaw while she restrains herself from riding my leg. Her lips nearly touch mine. “Take me home, Daughtry.”
It takes less than two minutes for us to scramble outside. Even though it was only a few shots, I don’t take the wheel. I let her drive us back to her place in my vehicle after she texts Baylor what’s going on.
The entire way back to her house, she rests her hand on my thigh. I’m tempted to do the same, but I don’t think I have the willpower not to tease her while she drives. As it is, the second she slams the car into park, I’m out the door and hauling her into her house.
The front door shuts and I push her up against it before completely invading her space. I’m less than an inch from her mouth and my body is practically holding her up. I can’t help but give a small thrust.
“Is that what you want, Teegan?”
She answers by grabbing my head with both hands and dragging me down into a passionate kiss. It’s chaos. I knew it would be. What I didn’t know was that it would be exactly what I needed.
Her hands are all over me, and I can’t undress her fast enough. Our clothes are thrown about the room and she’s guiding me back to sit on the couch.
“The bed?” I mumble.
