Chapter Eighteen

ALEC

I propped my head up on my hand so that I could look at Taren. She was lying next to me on my bed—her shirt tossed on the floor, her long blonde hair a beautiful mess of tangles, and her lips still marked with the touch of mine.

“I love kissing you. I could kiss you forever.” Taren reached up to run her fingers lightly down my arm. I noticed that she touched me a lot, like I was a piece of art her body had to memorize.

“We’ve got a pretty good start on forever. I don’t think we’ve been out of this bed in hours.” I nipped at her shoulder, and she giggled.

As soon as my bedroom door had been shut and locked, our study session had turned into a frantic kiss-fest. Our books lay forgotten on the floor, our need to study falling victim to our need for one another. Later on, when I was up all night doing the work I had neglected, life would suck. Right now, I didn’t care.

I leaned down to kiss Taren again, and her mouth immediately parted. Her tongue twisted with mine as if we’d been kissing each other our entire lives. The slick warmth of her mouth was like fucking heaven.

I reached around her back until my fingers found the clasp of her bra, and when her eyes opened, I thought that she’d tell me to stop. Instead, her lips lifted into a shy smile. The clasp snapped open under my fingertips, and her eyes closed again. She reached up to the back of my head to pull my face into her skin.

My nose ran along the lacy edge of her bra where I could smell her perfume and Taren sighed. My thumbs slowly eased the fabric up until it was draped across her collarbone. Nothing but my heavy breaths were between my lips and the smooth skin of her breasts. Hunger gnawed at me. She was so beautiful I wanted to savor every inch of her skin with my tongue. I wanted to devour her.

I leaned down and kissed the curves of Taren’s perfect chest, stealing a glance up at her face to see her reaction. I wondered if she’d stop me. I hoped not. I wanted her to trust me.
