“How the fuck am I supposed to say no to you?”

She smiles. “You’re not.”

“One night.” But even as the words leave my lips I know I’m lying. One night will never be enough with her; I don’t think a lifetime would be enough.

“Tonight.”

“It has to be. I can’t go any longer without feeling your body wrapped around my own. Your place?”

“Kind of has to be your place. I’m back living with my mom right now.” She grimaces as the words leave her mouth.

“Fuck.” An agonized rumble leaves me as I drop my head to her shoulder. “You’re not making me feel better about this.” I feel her hand rub over the back of my head, her nails scraping along my scalp.

“You’ll get over it.”

I don’t think I will.

She’s not someone you just ‘get over’.

Give me the orgasms.

Although, I swear to God, if he can’t find my clit then I really am joining a convent because he screams BDE.

My cell pings again and I think it’s one of the girls, but it’s Hudson sending me his address.

Huh. He lives right by Reed. There must be something about that road and sexy as fuck men.

Another message comes through seconds after that one.

Hudson: I’ve ordered Chinese food. Come round when you’re ready. I only get one night with you, I want you for as long as possible
