Chapter Nine

Mara

“Don’t move.” River's voice has changed in the last few hours. It’s deeper, with a sexy gruffness, but it’s also how he’s more direct too.

It’s something I saw my dad do with my mom or even Felipe with my sister. I used to roll my eyes and shake my head, but I don’t roll my eyes when River does it to me. My body has a completely different reaction, and it’s only to River.

“I’ll be right here.” He narrows his eyes on me like he’s not sure if he should trust me, and I’m not mad about it. He doesn’t want me putting any clothes on and wants me to stay in the bed where we’ve been since the first round on the sofa. The bed is a lot easier to explore each other's bodies.

“Why do you even need to leave?” I huff. Instantly I regret it. The last thing I want to do is to come off as needy or clingy.

“Because you’re distracting, and I ordered the food to my place and not yours by accident,” he growls before he pounces back onto the bed and pins me to it. His mouth comes down in a hard, wild kiss like he’s been gone and missed me. Okay, maybe I’m not alone in this crazy need for him.

“River.” I sink my fingers into his hair while I think about how I’m falling in love with him.

“Fuck, I love how you say my name,” he groans before pulling away.

“How do I say it?” I lick my well-kissed lips.

“Like I’m a damn god or something. It’s addictive.” He gently touches my cheek, stroking me sweetly.

“A god?” I fight a small laugh.

“Go on and laugh, but something sent you here to tempt me.” I bite the inside of my cheek as he rubs his nose against mine.

River starts to say something else, but his phone goes off. He mutters a curse before he springs from the bed as gracefully as a lion. His movements are fluid, but his landing is hard and shakes the room. It reminds me of how solid he is—not that I could forget. I can still feel the planes and ridges of his back on my fingertips.

“Don’t move,” he orders again before he’s out my bedroom door. A few seconds later, I hear my front door close, and I roll over and stare up at the ceiling.

River Andora’s mouth was all over my body, and mine was all over his. That was the last thing I ever thought would happen when I found out that not only did we go to the same school but we also live in the same building.

My mind starts to tug in terrible directions as it always does. What if River found out I’m the reason Cillian has his scars? It’s partly why I don’t think his parents wanted his sister to marry him. River’s parents hold a lot of stock in image. So much so they’d rip the Andora family apart for it, and for money.
