Chapter Six

Silence filled the air as I waited for Eli to reply to my innuendo-filled tease. He searched my gaze as he held both of my hands in his strong, warm ones and then with a nod he opened the door and led me quietly up a set of stairs.

I’d be lying to myself if I tried to downplay the fear which filled my chest. Eli didn’t speak until we entered a room on the second floor of the house and he had the door shut behind us. There was no way for me to know if the house was empty or if it was filled to the gills with his family and friends. The two of us hadn’t discussed living arrangements or anything which would make it sound like we were in a relationship.

It’s my fault, I thought as I stood in the dark. I don’t know him because I’ve blocked his every attempt at getting to know each other.

“Light or no light?” Eli broke the silence and caused me to jerk in surprise.

Inhaling deeply, I worked to center myself while I hoped I wasn’t making a mistake. Eli was so sexy. Just his presence made me shiver while I panted as if standing in the scorching heat. I swallowed deeply — I needed to be able to see him.

“Do you have a low one?” I murmured as I stared sightlessly into the dark room. “I’d like to see you.”

I heard a click and a small desk lamp flared to life. It took a few moments for my eyes to adjust but when they did, Eli was in the process of dropping his leather coat to the floor.

His tight black t-shirt clung to his chest and stretched almost obscenely over his shoulders and biceps. Eli was strong. It wasn’t the build of the gym assholes I saw around Vegas, instead, this was muscle built from years of tossing pizzas and lifting heavy boxes of supplies. My gaze ate him up as he toed off his boots and reached for the hem of his shirt.

“Last chance,” he whispered.

Without replying my hands pushed my jacket off my shoulders and allowed it to drop at my feet. When my fingers reached for the buttons of my blouse, they trembled with anticipation. Eli must have thought it was nerves because his much larger hands gripped mine and held them still.

“I won’t lie, I might die… but if you want to stop, I’m okay with it. I lo—”

“No!” I snapped as the thought of what he was about to say sent fear shooting through me. I wasn’t ready for it and I stopped him from finishing with a hard kiss.

I stabbed my tongue into his mouth and stroked our tongues together as I learned his flavor. Moaning, I reached between us and quickly undid my buttons. The blouse landed on top of my jacket while I flipped the front clasp of my bra. It was all or nothing for me.

“Whoa…” Eli once again wrapped his strong hands around my own.
