I let my hand slide from her jaw into her hair, tilting her head to me. Brushing the side of her cheek with my thumb, it’s all I can do to restrain myself from peeling her sweaty clothes off her and taking her against the wall. Instead, I let my hand on her hip move to cup her ass.
This doesn’t help my resolve.
I force myself to focus on her eyes that flare at my touch. “Judging from the interactions with your ex, this doesn’t surprise me. If you’ll let me, I can give you sweet.”
Her tongue instantly appears, wetting her lips before she catches her bottom one between her teeth. I feel her hands grip my sides where she’s hanging on, but her voice is smooth and assured when she changes the subject. “What should I wear tomorrow night?”
I squeeze her ass, loving the feel of it in my hand. “I like these.”
She tips her head. “Are we running again?”
“No. We’ll be eating, drinking, talking, and maybe eating some more.” I pull her away from the wall and fully palm her ass, making her eyes widen. I grin before leaning down to kiss her quick. “But I still like these.”
She tries to look put out, but does it while suppressing a grin, and pushes against my chest. “I need to shower and you need to leave.”
“You shower, but I’m not leaving. I’ll get in after you.”
Her eyes widen. “What do you mean, ‘you’ll get in after me’?”
“I mean, I don’t want to smell like this all night and I doubt you want me to, either. I packed a bag. I’ll shower after you. If you think I’m leaving you alone after what happened today, you’re crazy.”
“But,” she starts before biting her lip again. I’m beginning to think it’s a habit and can’t help but feel a pang of jealousy. I’d love to bite on that lip freely. “I feel bad, there’s nowhere for you to sleep.”
I shake my head and turn for the door. “I’m not leaving. Either you shower or I shower,” I stop and look back before I add, “unless you want to shower together. I’m up for that, too.”
She looks down and sighs.
“Maya?”
Looking back, I can tell she’s giving in because she raises her brows when she widens her eyes to silently acknowledge me.
“I want to know about your family—more about Joe and what I should expect from your parents. We’ll talk about that as I watch your hair dry.”
Again, she shakes her head, turning to her bedroom. But I catch it, the smallest of smiles, even if it wasn’t for me to see, just before I lose sight of her face.
When I open her front door to go to my SUV and get my bag, I do my best not to think about her in the shower. Listening to her breathing hard during our run was rough enough, imagining her wet and naked is pure torture.
I was serious though, I need to know what to expect from her family. Reading her background, I know her dad’s corporation has been listed on the Fortune 500 for years. Next week should be interesting, that’s for sure. I’ve got three days to prepare—she told me today we’re leaving first thing Tuesday morning. She’s got two days off work, that means we’ll be there for only one night.
I grab my bag and the two sacks of food I picked up this afternoon. As much as my obsession has taken over, I’m not about to become a vegetarian.

Maya –
He licks me from my opening to my clit.
Oh, yes.
More, I need more. I try to lift my hips, but I can’t. He has me pinned—deliciously pinned to the bed with his big hands behind my knees—holding me wide open for his painfully slow ministrations to my pussy.
I’ve never felt this before, I don’t want the humming to end. I want to orgasm, but I don’t want to lose his mouth.
“Please,” I call to him.
He says nothing, and I didn’t know it was possible, but his grip on my legs tighten, holding me stronger.
Then he circles my clit with the tip of his tongue before lightly scraping his teeth across it.
