Chapter Eight

Daphne

“Well, I guess this is goodnight.” Garret took a cautious step back, then paused before heading into the kitchen to put his glass in the sink.

Adrenaline sizzled through my veins, crashing to a halt in one giant moment of ‘are you fucking kidding me?’

The sexual tension blazing between us couldn’t have been my imagination. It couldn’t have been one-sided. His eyes had devoured me. His lips had beckoned me. Garret wanted me as much as I wanted him and how in the hell was he walking away from me right now?

I puppy-dogged after him, dropping my glass into the sink with a hollow clonk then scurried upstairs to catch him before he disappeared into his bedroom and this feeling, whatever it was, faded away. In the hallway outside my room, I took his hand. “Garret. Wait.”

He froze as my skin brushed his, his shoulders tense, his back to me.

“Daphne…” I heard goodbye in his voice and didn’t understand.

“I thought something was happening down there and I don’t know what I did wrong.”

He shook his head. “You didn’t do anything wrong.”

“Then why…?” I dropped his hand and gathered my courage as I took a deep breath. “Why won’t you look at me?”

There was a pause so long I started to panic. Had I misread him? Had I been seeing something that didn’t exist? Was I in the middle of ruining our friendship?

With his back still to me, Garret dropped his chin. “Because I’ve wanted you since the night we kissed and I know that if we kiss again, there’s no going back.” He finally turned to face me, his eyes blazing with longing. “I don’t want to ruin what we have, because it’s pretty fucking special.”

“I love our friendship, but when you touch me…” I moved closer. “When you touch me, it sets me on fire.”

And just like that, his mouth was on mine.

His hands, tangling in my hair.

Mine, sliding under his shirt.

A gasp. A groan.

A goddamn explosion of sensation as he pulled me closer, bending down to nip and tease along my jaw. “Fuck, Daphne. I’ve wanted you for so long.”

His voice, rough against my ear, dripped with need and tension and weeks of pent-up desire. He stepped closer and I stumbled, my back pushed against my closed bedroom door. My lips parted and his tongue caressed mine. He tasted like mahogany and amber. Like the drink I’d spent all night perfecting because I needed to show him how much he meant to me.

His erection pressed against my core, teasing. Tantalizing. I slipped my hands past his waistband and wrapped my fingers around his rock-hard cock. He shuddered, moaning my name as he thrust himself forward, begging for more contact, more of whatever we were when we were together.

Undone.

I came undone.

Falling to pieces in his arms.

Garret’s hands fumbled behind me, twisting open the door, and we stumbled through, falling onto the bed in a tangle of limbs and lust. He freed me of my skirt and I yanked off his shirt, drawing my nails over the hard planes of his chest and abs.
