She squeals, but I silence the noise with my hand over her mouth as I push her against the door that just closed behind us. Her eyes narrow at me, but I don’t let go of her right away.
“You think that was cute?” I feel her smile against my hand as her blue eyes shine up at me.
Her voice is muffled against my hand as she tries to retort, and I slowly remove it so I can hear what she’s trying to say.
“You thought it was cute to mention that we’ve seen each other.”
“Mm, that’s not what I said. All I said was that you remembered me.”
She rolls her eyes. “Do you always have to be right about everything?”
“Yes.”
“Great, can I go back out there? Someone may come looking for us.”
“No one will come looking for me,” I counter. “You, they might. What do you think would happen if they found you in here with me? What would Grayson think?” I can’t stop my scowl mentioning him.
I’m fully expecting her to tell me he would be mad, try to fight me because they’re together now. Madly in love and that what happened just a few days ago meant nothing between her and me because it only made her realize they’re supposed to be together.
“He’d probably join us in here.” She raises her chin.
“There’s not much room for the three of us.”
“I’m sure we could make it work.”
“Do you want to make it work?” I ask. It feels like we’re talking in code, not about the space in this pantry.
“I want more of what happened the other night,” she admits softly.
“And I want more ofyou.”I step closer, pressing my body against hers completely.
I see her nerves come back. “Here? R-right now?”
“Would you let me?” I question, sliding my hand up the side of her thigh.
Rae gasps, but doesn’t stop me. “We shouldn’t.”
I smirk, stepping back. “You’re right.”
She almost falls forward, barely catching herself. “I am?”
“Yeah, we shouldn’t. Not here. I don’t want to have to shove your panties in your mouth to keep you quiet when I fuck you.” She practically chokes on a gasp when I say that, but it’s true. I want to have her to myself when I fuck her for the first time. I want her loud. I want her unfiltered. I want the side of Rae that no one else sees.
Except maybe one other person.
“Leave with me after this.” It’s not a question, because I’m not asking.
She shakes her head. “I can’t.”
“Why not? Because of what your family will say?”
She folds her arms over her chest. “Because you love answering questions so much? How many do you think there will be if I leave with you in front of everyone I’ve known my entire life?”
I hate that she’s right.
“Fine. Come over after.”
She twists her lips. “I’ll think about it.”
