I shook my head at Sophie, silently praying she wouldn’t listen to him and leave. The last thing I wanted was to get her involved, but it was becoming clear I didn’t have a choice in the matter.
“Ummm…” Her stare went back and forth between us until it settled on me. “Why do I feel like this isn’t the first time you guys have slept together?”
“I wouldn’t call what we did sleeping.”
“Caleb! Oh my God! Who are you right now?” My eyes snapped to Sophie’s. “It’s not what you think.”
I needed her to understand this wasn’t serious between us. It was just a mistake. A very stupid mistake I already regretted.
Evie, what did you do?
“I can’t imagine what Jax would have done if he was the one who walked in on you and not me.”
“Well,” Caleb emphasized, sliding on his dress shirt. “For one, he would have knocked.”
“Caleb!”
“What? You want to pretend like last night didn’t happen? I hate to break it to you, darlin’, but you look thoroughly fucked. Not to mention, I left marks all over you, so good luck covering those up.”
I threw my hands up in the air, exhausted with all of this. There was only so much I could take, and I was reaching my breaking point.
Sophie must have noticed because she quickly excused herself, leaving us alone. However, I could tell by the expression on her face that this conversation was far from over. She would get to the bottom of what was happening between Caleb and me.
Except, I barely understood us.
Grabbing my silk robe from the end of the bed, I carefully slid it on. When I lifted my gaze to meet Caleb’s, he was grinning at me like a fool.
“You were sitting on my face a couple of hours ago. Isn’t it a little late to play coy?”
I glared at him again, standing tall while tying my robe into a tight knot.
Taking a step in my direction, he baited, “You think that’s going to keep me away?”
I stepped back and held my hand out in front of me, halting his descent.
“You can gloat all you want, but you’re never going to see me naked again.”
“I can see you naked anytime I want. All I have to do is close my eyes and fuck my fist to the memory of you riding my cock.”
“Why are you talking to me like this?”
“How would you like me to speak to you, Evie?”
“Not like this. You spent the last … what? Eight years ignoring me? Now I’m supposed to suddenly swoon over you because we casually hooked up? Get over yourself, Caleb. I want nothing to do with you.”
“Darlin’, your pussy contradicts you. It still loves me.”
“There’s a very thin line between love and hate, asshole.”
“I meant everything I said to you last night.”
I jerked back, confused. “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
My response finally got his attention. “You don’t remember?”
“Does it look like I do?”
“What’s the last thing you recall?”
I blinked while hasty images of last night tore through my mind. One right after the other with no end in sight.
His lips slammed onto mine. “Fuck, I missed you…”
My head hit the wall as he slid my panties to the side, rubbing my clit in a back and forth motion.
“Jesus, you’re soaking wet. When was the last time someone touched you, Evie?”
“What?” I moaned, taken aback.
“You heard me, but I’ll elaborate. When’s the last time someone made your sweet cunt come?”
My eyes rolled to the back of my head. “Stop talking.”
He grinned against my mouth. “That long, huh?” To prove his point, he slid two fingers inside of me, going right for my g-spot.
I leaned into his hand, rocking against it. “We’re not having this conversation.”
“Great, seeing as I have no desire other than to make you come down my hand. Give it to me, Evie.”
Faster and faster, I swayed my hips in the opposite direction of his skilled fingers.
“Let me love you, darlin’.”
My eyes shot open. “What?”
“Did I stutter?”
“You can’t just—”
“What? Huh? What can’t I do? Tell me as I get on my knees in front of you.”
“Caleb, please…”
“Of course, darlin’. How can I say no when you’ve asked so fucking nicely?” In one swift motion, he did exactly that.
The liquor coursing through my veins had me losing all sense of reason when it came to him. We were at my brother’s vow renewal, in a corner of his house where anyone could catch us. The thrill of getting caught was as much of an aphrodisiac as all the booze in my blood.
For the first time in over eight years, we were hooking up.
Chapter 2
Evie
The subtle touch of his lips against my silk panties had me melting into his embrace, making my body shudder and head spin.
Lightly, he bit my clit through my panties. “This what you want, Evie? My mouth on you? Tell me … I want to hear you beg for my love.”
