“I told them I had no idea. You don’t talk about friends.”
She felt her cheeks heatas she thought about the double meaning that could have. They didn’t talk. So what else did they do? Sex. Lots of it. That’s what some of the women had said in the beginning. He must be dynamite in the sack.
“Yeah, that sounded bad.”
He chuckled. “No, it sounded like you and me are busy talking about a lot more than my friends.” He kissed her head. “I don’t have any friends.”
She tilted herhead to the side. “How is that possible?”
He leaned down and pressed his lips against her ear. “How is it possible for you to be a virgin attwenty-nine?”
She rolled her eyes. “Easy.”
“Nah, I’d say you’reanything but easy.”
This did make her laugh.
Staring into his dark eyes, she felt that answering thrill rush through her body.Ruin made her heart race. He made her want to be so many things. She craved him. Placing her hands on his chest, she tilted her head back and looked at him. His rock-hard body was pressed against hers and she nibbled her lip.
“Callie, I’m trying to be a good man right now.”
Did she want him to be a good man?
“What if I don’t want you to be a good man?”she asked.
Ruin stilled.He stared.
She looked into his dark eyes, not wanting to break that connection.
“Callie?”
“Ruin,” she said. “I was thinking you might want to come back to my place.”
Was that so daring?Anything could happen. He didn’t answer but took her hand as they made their way back to her apartment. She felt a sense of excitement overcome her as he sped up, rushing them toward her apartment building.
They arrived at her building and it had taken her a short time to get used to not typingin her code, but it had finally worked. Ruin waited as they got to her door and she slid the key into the lock, or at least tried to do so. He took the keys from her and unlocked the door. Stepping through, he closed the door, and she heard him bolt each lock he’d installed.
She watched him. There was a single lamp lit. Ruin turned toward her. He was in her apartment once again.
“Callie, I will not do anythingyou don’t want.”
She stepped toward him. “I want to. I know it’s only been a short time, but I … I want you to kiss me.”
“I’ll kiss you.”
“No, not just kiss. I want to have sex with you.” She was ready.
Three weeks of him behaving like a gentleman was enough to drive her crazy.She was ready. More than ready. Life was so short. Her mother had told her that. When she finally found someone she wanted to be with, she had to stop holding herself back and just live. She wanted to live more than anything.
Ruin closed the distance between them.
“You’re going to drive me crazy, aren’t you?” he said. He pressed his lips against her temple and she released a moan, not wanting him to stop.
“Kiss me, Ruin.”
His gaze went to her lips and she thought he was going to tell her no. She couldn’t help but feel a little saddened.Then he slammed his lips down on hers and all thought left her mind as he kissed her hard. His fingers sunk into her hair and he held her close. She didn’t want him to stop, nor let her go. He ravished her lips. She opened her mouth as his tongue trailed across her lips, and then he plundered inside, deepening the kiss.
One of his hands traveled down her back, going to her ass. He gripped her tightly and another moan spilled from her lips. Ruin broke the kiss, sliding down to her neck, where he flicked his tongue across her pulse. Back and forth, he nibbled on her neck. He drew her close against him and she felt the hard ridge of his cock. Another moan and whimper.
