Chapter Twenty-Two

Walker

We stay at the beach forever.

The drive home is quiet, but it's not the quiet of earlier. The air isn't heavy or still or stifling.

It's comfortable.

Calm.

It's weird. I've never wanted to lean on someone. To share anything that guts me.

But with Iris…

I trust her.

I want her around.

I want to tell her things. To tell her everything.

After I park, we stumble-kiss our way to my apartment. It isn't the tear your clothes off heat of earlier. It isn't that I want to watch her come—I do. Fuck, how I do.

But it's deeper than that.

I lock the apartment door and toss my keys on the dining table.

She pulls my leather jacket tighter as she steps backward. Her eyes go to the floor. Her expression gets shy. Like this is the first time.

In a way, it is.

This isn't a fuck anymore.

We aren't having fun anymore.

Shit is real now.

Serious.

Intimate.

I motion to the kitchen. "You need anything?"

"Water."

I nod, pour two glasses, bring one to her.

She brings it to her lips and takes a thirsty sip. Her throat quivers as she swallows. Her eyes stay on the floor.

She finishes fast, hands the cup back over, and moves toward the bedroom.

I follow suit. Move through the open door.

She's sitting on the bed, her palms pressed against her thighs, my jacket lying behind her.

I give her a long once-over. Something is different. Wrong.

She looks up at me. Her lips part. There's something on the tip of her tongue, but she swallows it down.

"You okay?" I ask.

She stares back at me like it's the most complicated question she's ever heard. "Maybe."

"Maybe?"

Her eyes fix on me. "Maybe."

"Anything I can do?"

Her voice drops to something low and needy. "Fuck me."

It's a weird request.

But I can't exactly complain.

I sit on the bed next to her. "That's really what you want?"

She climbs into my lap, wraps one arm around my waist, slides the other into my hair. "That's everything I want."

Her lips brush mine. It's soft. Then hard.

My tongue slides into her mouth. Dances with hers.

My need pours into her. This is such a fucked-up mess. I'm pathetic and cold-hearted in equal measure.

But she isn't running for the hills. She's here.

She's mine.

Fuck, she's really mine.

I slide my hand into her hair.

She does away with my t-shirt then climbs onto the bed. She falls onto her back and presses her knees together.

Her blue eyes meet mine. They promise the fucking world.

For once, I want that.

I want everything she can give me.

I nod to the bedside table.

She reaches for it, pulls the drawer open, pulls out a condom. She stares back into my eyes as she pulls her dress over her head.

My fingertips skim her ankles. The inside of her knees. Her inner thighs.

They curl into the straps of her panties.

Her eyelids flutter closed. Her breath catches in her throat. "Please."

Slowly, I roll her panties to her ankles.

I drag my lips up the inside of her calf. The inside of her thigh.

Her fingers curl into my hair. Her hips lift to meet me.

I pin her thighs to the bed and bring my lips to her.
