Chapter Thirteen

I kept my high beams on and took it easy as I navigated the twisted roads heading toward Brady’s place. I knew I shouldn’t allow myself to do this, especially at 1:00 in the morning, but my thoughts only drifted forward. Terror filled me at the prospect of them slipping back. At least for tonight.

The little blue house came into view within the wash of my lights. Somehow, I was unsurprised to see an amber glow seeping from the inside.

He stepped out when I reached the top of the path. He only wore a pair of faded Levi’s, despite the cooler temperatures, and breeze coming in off the lake. I couldn’t see his face, but I could hear his confusion when he questioned my appearance. “Rylie?”

Brady may not have been cold, but my dumbass neglected even a sweatshirt after being caught up in the aftermath of my nightmare. It hadn’t occurred to me to grab one, and now goose pimples parading over any exposed flesh, and my teeth chattered. But I didn’t move.

“Um, this is unexpected. Did you want to come in?” He reached out, but seemed to think better of it.

I stepped forward instead, stretched up to cradle his perplexed face, and pulled him down to me. There appeared to be a moment of surprise and indecision, but it didn’t last long, and he kissed me back.

He offered no resistance when I pushed him supine, and groaned when I kissed and sucked the side of his throat. His body tightened like a live wire, and it didn’t take a lot of thought to realize he was holding back. For whatever reason, his restraint incited my own sense of power over him. I nibbled and licked the hollows of his collarbone, worked my way down his chest to his stomach, unbothered by a trail of hair near his belly button that disappeared into the waistband of his jeans.

“Rylie.” His voice shook, and I paused my attentions to gaze up at him. Primitive hunger had etched itself into his features, lending him a wild desperate appearance. His body remained rock hard, as did the erection straining against his Levi’s. “I’m not sure … um … you don’t … uh … are you sure … uh, are you sure this is what you want?”
