CHAPTER 16

HEIDI

The second he pressed his weight onto me, I knew I was a goner. His bare skin, pressed against my bare skin, was almost enough to send me over the edge. I’d been waiting for this since the first moment I saw him, no matter how much I’d tried to deny it. What had existed before only in scorching fantasies was now unfolding before me. And he was right. There would be no going back.

Lucky for me, I had no desire to go back. I was just fine where I was.

Part of me knew I was being an idiot. He’d literally handed me a fortune and a new start, and I hadn’t taken it. How many times, as a kid, had I dreamt of that very thing? Of saving enough money and taking off, never to be seen in Boston again? So many times I’d lost count. And yet I’d been given the chance to do that very thing, free of charge, and I hadn’t taken it.

Adolescent me thought adult me was a freaking fool.

He hauled my leg up, and I wrapped it around his waist, my insides melting when he pressed his erection up against my core, and all thoughts of condescension against myself faded away. Because adolescent me hadn’t known Lucas Donahue. In the past, it had always taken me a while to be ready for that kind of contact, but with Lucas, all it took was a smirk and a sarcastic reply, and I was there. This was a bad idea because there was no happy ending here.

But I was going to do it anyway.

I almost hated myself for it.

His hand closed over my breast, squeezing with the perfect amount of pressure, and I arched my back, trying to get closer to him. His mouth moved over mine, stealing all rational thought, and I ran my hands down his hard back. I’d had no idea he had ink and a piercing, but it was hot. So hot I couldn’t even process it.

“No.” He caught my wrists in one hand, trapping them above my head. With his other hand, he cupped my core, his palm pressed against my clitoris. “My turn.”

My heart skipped a beat. “Yes,” I breathed. “God yes.”

He kissed a path down my neck, over my shoulder, and scraped his teeth over my nipple. I cried out and strained against his hold, longing to pull him closer, but he didn’t budge. Not even an inch. He sucked harder, making everything inside of me strain for more. By the time he released me, I was a mess of need and frustration.

“So delicious,” he breathed, his tone almost full of wonder. “I could spend all night teasing you. Taunting you. Tasting you.”

Unacceptable. Especially when I knew for a fact he could get me off in under sixty seconds. “God, Lucas, I’m going to kick your—”

He nipped the skin right above my hip. “Uh-uh. No talking back.”

“But—”

He nibbled on my hip again, and I drew in a breath through my clenched teeth.
