Chapter Fourteen

Elyse

Holding the steaming bag by one corner, I grab the popcorn out of the microwave and pour it into a large bowl. Hero is already sitting on the couch, getting the movie started. His expression looks grim and a bit annoyed, which goes along with the grumpy mood he’s had all day. I thought he would lighten up a little bit at least. It was his idea to pick up a movie after all.

“Hero?” Chewing on my lip, I contemplate asking him a question. With the way his mood has been all day, I don’t know if I should risk it, but my curiosity to know more about him outweighs the fear of him shutting down. “Can I ask you something?”

“You can ask me anything you want. I’m not sure I’ll have an answer for you, though.”

“How do you afford living here?” I watch his facial expression carefully, hoping I didn't ask something that might hit a nerve. Luckily, my question has the opposite effect.

His face softens and his eyes turn a little kinder. “My mom. She left me everything she had. She set up a life insurance policy while I was in prison, before she got sick. She always wanted me to go to college. It was one of her last wishes. That’s really the only reason I’m here.”

“I’m sorry you lost her.” I cover my hand with his, meaning nothing more than to comfort him. But even that innocent touch sends a sexually charged current through us.

“Let’s just watch the movie.” He pulls his hand away from mine, crossing his arms in front of his chest.

The movie starts, colorful images flicker across the screen, but I can’t concentrate long enough to understand what it’s about. Loud explosions fill my ears, reminding me Hero picked an action movie. No doubt, he chose the least romantic movie he could find and the most boring ever for me.

I nearly groan as a sex scene starts. A few weeks ago, I would have shriveled up and died from embarrassment, especially with a guy sitting next to me.

Thank goodness it's dark in here. If it wasn't, Hero would be able to see my heated cheeks and the warmth creeping down my neck onto my chest. Clenching my thighs together, I shift uncomfortably on the couch. My panties are soaked, and my body’s begging me for things I can't give it.

As if Hero can read my mind, he shifts against the armrest to face me. “If I were to reach between your legs right now, would you be wet? I bet you would be.” A smug grin appears on his perfectly sculpted lips. There's a hunger in his eyes that excites me as his gaze roams up and down my body, surveying, watching.

“I can see your nipples through your shirt. They’re hard and begging to be sucked.”

I watch his hand twitch while talking about my nipples, knowing he wants to touch me. The large bulge forming under his sweatpants is a dead giveaway if I ever saw one.
