“Ithink you know why.”

Those five words have ignited a fire within me. I don’t know what I expected when he invited me over, but I kind of figured he’d take the high road and put a stop to this long before we wound up here, in his bedroom. But I can’t deny how fucking stoked I am that he hasn’t.

Neither of us says anything else for a long moment, but our eye contact is heady. I’m doused in lust and need, dying to close the distance and taste him again. William reminds me of a frightened wild animal right now, though. One wrong move, and it could all be over, so I have to let him come to me. Have to let him call the shots, which admittedly, isn’t easy for me. Taking what I want is something that has always come naturally. I don’t beat around the bush or pussyfoot around anything, but William is in a league of his own.

If he doesn’t initiate whatever is about to happen, then he’ll run away like he did when I kissed him at Conrad’s place. He’s obnoxiously stubborn, not that it’s deterred me so far.

Pushing off the door, William takes a step, then another, his gaze locked on mine the entire way. My pulse races, my heart in my throat the closer he gets. As he comes to a stop in front of me, I see it. He falters for a single moment. There’s doubt in his eyes, and I know he’s nervous. Thankfully, he’s able to shove whatever’s in his mind away because in the next moment, he’s grabbing me by the back of the neck, hauling my mouth into his.

As soon as our lips lock, my hands are on him. The need to have William as close to me as humanly possible takes over, and I’m wrapping my arms around his waist while he does the same to me. It’s electric, the way our lips move together. The way his tongue surges into my mouth, tasting mine. The kiss feels feral. It feels carnal; a need we both have, an itch we must scratch.

William’s fingers find the hem of my shirt, and he starts lifting the material before he pauses, taking a step back. “Take this off,” he growls, his ocean eyes darkened. “I want to rip it off of you, but I don’t want to hurt your shoulder.”

I breathe out a laugh as I do as he says. Something about the level of care he has for my shoulder hits me right in the chest in a way I didn’t anticipate. He’s a doctor; of course, he would be cautious of my injury, but for some reason, it feels deeper than that. Like maybe he cares for me. Shoving those thoughts away, I let my shirt drop to the ground as I wait on bated breath for his next instruction. As hard as it is for me to follow somebody’s lead, I must admit, there’s something really fucking hot about watching William boss me around.
