I’ddefinitelyseen it when we’d crashed together.
I wanted her. I lusted for her. But I was also head-over-damn-heels for her, in a way I’d never felt before. Andthatwas why I found myself taking a breath outside Wilder’s office before knocking.
“Yeah, come in.”
I stepped inside, my body tense and my face hardened. Me wanting to tell Wilder was one thing. Him wanting tohearit was another thing. Because even if we’d never talked about it that openly, Iknewhow we both felt about her. I knew he had probably the same damn thoughts about her that I’d been having — that intoxicating and confusing mix of forbidden lust and feelings we’d never had before.
I hadn’tstolenher from him — shit, it wasn’t like she was “his” to take. But I knew telling him might hurt him, and that felt like a knife in my gut to think about.
“How was the city?”
Wilder glanced up. He looked tense and worn out.
“Eh, it was fine.”
“The signing that rough?”
He smiled grimly and shook his head. “Not the reason I’m all tensed up, man.” He cleared his throat, started to say something, but then just shook his head.
“Speak,” I growled. “C’mon, talk to me man.”
Wilder sighed. “Kenzie, man.”
I tensed.
“I…” He frowned and swore under his breath. “Fuck, Iheardher last night, Linc. After what happened, after I spanked her, I walked by her room. She was…” He groaned, his jaw tight. “She was making herself come.”
My cock throbbed at how fucking hot it’d be to hear Kenzie playing with that tight little pussy.
“She made herself come and I fucking stood there and did the same listening to her. I’m over the fucking edge, Lincoln. I could barely concentrate today at those meetings because I couldn’t stop thinking about it. Then I goddamn called up the security cams for the house on my phone and watched that little tease laying out in that tiny little bikini by the pool.”
I looked away.
“I mean, fuck, dude, I fucking jerked off in the goddamn bathroom at the lawyers offices watching her. I’m fucking losing it.”
He sighed heavily.
“Wilder.”
He glanced up, and his brow creased as he saw the look on my face.
“What’s up?”
“It’s about Kenzie.”
He started to open his mouth, when suddenly, he saw it written all over my face, and he froze. We knew each other so well after the Marines and what we’d been through together, that I almost didn’t have to say it. But I was going to anyways, because he deserve to hear it.
“Something happened today, while you were gone. Between her and me. Fuck, man, I didn’t plan it like that. And I know neither of us have said shit about it, but I know the way you look at her.”
I grit my teeth, my hands tightening to fists as I shook my head.
“Look, I’m gone tonight, alright? I’ll move out, I just—”
“Did you fuck her?”
Wilder’s voice was edged, his hands tight on the edge of his desk like he might flip the whole fucking thing.
I shook my head.
