“Five minutes, Clay,” he says, jerking the buttons free until I feel thebodice loosen and slide down my torso. “How much damage can I do in fiveminutes?”He covers my lips again and grinds into me, the twenty-four-hour scruffon his chin poking my face and lips. I scale my hands up his chest, hismuscles tight and thick under his shirt, and I dive into his mouth deeper,waiting for the pulse between my thighs to need what he’s doing. To like it.I’m tired of not fucking around like everyone else. I want my own guy.I want someone touching me.I want to search him out for more and not be able to control myself whenwe’re together.He forces my head back and kisses my neck, sucking and biting as hegrips my ass and rolls his hips against my panties over and over again.And I feel it. I freeze for a moment, the pulse on my clit starting to pumpas the lace of Liv’s panties rubs so good against my nub.Heat spreads as I grow wet, and slowly, I close my eyes and let my armsfall away from his body. They hang at my side, images flashing like lightningbehind my lids. So quick. So hot.Skin. Wet skin. And her face is on fire, glowing and golden and coveredwith my mouth.I moan, slipping my hand down her panties that I wear, rubbing mysmooth skin and dipping my fingers inside and wanting her to watch me. Tomake her want me and make her happy.“Goddamn, Clay,” Callum growls, and he’s stopped kissing me. I thinkhe’s watching.But after a moment, lips land on me again, and I kiss so slow and gentle.With my tongue taunting and savoring her. Not him.“Come home with me,” he whispers in my ear. “Neither one of us canstop this.”My orgasm crests, and tears fill my eyes, grateful and gutted. I can comewith him. Now I know how.But God… What the hell is going on in my head?I hear something and open my eyes, seeing Liv through the crack in thecurtain. It lays open six inches, and she stands there, a stack of shoe boxesnext to her on the table as she stares at us.Her gaze falls, and I know she sees her underwear. She sees CallumAmes with his hands all over them, and I can’t help the pleasure I feel in my
stomach as I watch her watch me rub up on him a little more.I linger on her chest, the faintest points of her nipples poking through herblack T-shirt, the tan skin of her stomach peeking out the bottom. She’s notwearing a bra, and my fingers hum, another moan escaping as I feel myselfslide my hands up her shirt.“Clay,” he says again against my neck.But I don’t blink as I look at her. “The ball,” I tell him. “After the ball.All night.”He can have me all night. I’ll like it. I know I’ll like it.Liv’s eyes narrow, the muscle in her jaw flexing, and I know she didn’thear me, she’s probably just mad her plan to piss me off with the dress didn’twork.I matter, you brat. You don’t. You can’t just run from me. You’ll leavehere, but you’ll do it knowing you never survived me. Not really.We still have months, Jaeger. The fun is just beginning.
