“I want to be with you.”
Her mouth dropped open. “Oh.”
“Oh?”
Dammit. Did she not want that? Had she only used me for sex?
“What are you saying?” she asked.
“I don’t want to be in the friendzone.”
“I don’t want that either.”
“But I don’t want to be a casual fuck buddy, either.”
Her eyes widened. “Oh. Like you want to date me?”
I nodded, tipping her head up to look me in the eye. “I want to take you on a proper date. Not just to Local Hangout. I want to hold your hand and say you’re my girl.”
“Really?” she whispered.
“Yes.”
Her smile lit up the room, but then it immediately slid off her face. “Oh. But…my brother.”
“I’m gonna sit him down and talk to him.”
She shook her head. “Matt…we still don’t really know each other all that well. I don’t want to say anything until we know for sure that this—us—is something we want.”
I furrowed my brow. “I don’t understand.”
“Can we…keep this on the down-low? Not forever. I want to figure us out before getting my brother involved.”
Unease spread across my chest, telling me this was a bad idea. I needed to be upfront with Noah. I couldn’t date his sister behind his back.
“Are you sure?” I asked.
She ran a hand down my chest. “Come on, it’ll be fun. We get to sneak around and be naughty together. Don’t you want that, babe?”
I wanted to date her, but I didn’t like this plan one bit. Going behind Noah’s back was a bad idea, but when she looked up at me with that naughty twinkle in her eyes, the rational part of my brain lost. Horny Matt won out, and he didn’t give a fuck about the right thing to do.
“If that’s what you want,” I said.
“You know what I want?” she purred.
I grinned as she slid her hands through my hair. “What’s that?”
“You.”
My lips upturned into a grin. “Yeah?”
She nodded. “Out of these clothes and making me come again.”
The grin on my face got bigger. “You’re a horny little thing, huh?”
She groaned. “You have no idea. Now that I’ve had you, I want you again and again.”
I pulled away from her, shedding my suit jacket and undoing my tie. She ran a perfectly manicured hand up my dress shirt, her touch sending a shock through me. She pulled me down for another kiss, and I settled myself between her legs.
