Chapter 22

It’s a strange feeling--living in the same house as your crush. After dinner, we both filter upstairs and hover in the hallway spanning the distance between our two bedrooms—my temporary guest room and his permanent residence. I fight hard to keep from shuffling my feet or staring at the wall and instead force myself to meet the intent emerald gaze focused on me.

A sizzling heat flares between us and I find myself gravitating towards Collin’s room without invitation. He wordlessly lifts his arm from his side and pushes the slightly ajar door open further, allowing me to walk underneath the appendage and into his domain.

This is the first time I’ve stepped foot into Collin’s room.

Curiosity has me pausing just over the threshold to examine my surroundings. The room has cream-colored walls, contrasted by dark oak furniture covered in a smattering of framed photos and trophies. His plain navy-colored bedspread draped haphazardly over the massive bed catches my attention next, and I catalogue the information, like it’s important to know whether a person makes their bed.

I step further inside, feeling Collin’s heat permeating the clothes covering my back. His sunshine-scent seems to intensify with each inhale, concentrated in this area from the amount of time he’s spent here.

The door shuts behind me, the click of the latch echoing through the silent room. My feet carry me to the bed, as if triggered by the noise. I perch on the edge, bouncing a couple times to test out its texture. It must be a rich people thing… the mattresses in the Franzen house are unreal—Collin’s included. It’s like sitting on a grounded cloud; fluffy but supportive, all at once. I swing my feet onto the bed and lounge back, making myself at home on the luxurious piece of furniture.

“You look good in my bed,” Collin drawls, his husky words causing my heart to ricochet in my chest. The beats pound harder as he steps closer, stalking towards my place on his bed like a man on a mission.

I scoot across the plush surface, expecting him to lay beside me. Instead, the bed dips next to my body when he places a leg on the outer side of my thigh. His gaze scans my face as he picks his other leg off the ground and uses it to separate my thighs before placing it in between them.

Trustingly, I meet his gaze. Collin is one of the good guys, maybe the best guy I’ve ever met. If I said “stop” I know he would.

But I don’t want him to.

As if reading the permission in my gaze, his second leg joins the first and I lift my heels off the bed to wrap around his lower waist. He leans forward onto his elbows, his entire body touching the length of mine, our faces hovering inches apart.

“McKenzie,” he sighs my name like the word is precious and my heart melts a little more upon hearing the infliction.

Collin Franzen is Dangerous.
