~ Excerpt ~
I
got out of the shower and dressed hurriedly, anxious to get back to Cuba.
The
door opened, and like he did it every single day, he stepped inside the steamy
bathroom.
“Think
I need a shower, too,” he said, his fingers easing off his football practice
shirt.
What? Now?
Trying
to play it cool and failing miserably, I moved my eyes off his naked chest and
checked out his track pants and the obvious bulge he sported.
Oh. Did his lower body match the rest of him? Was it all
sinewy muscle and big?
Just,
yeah. That thought got stuck in my head and went round and round.
“You staying?” he asked, a grin working his
face. Pleased at my open admiration, probably.
“No,”
I said, but made no move to go. ‘Cause I had no shame when it came to catching
a glimpse of his muscular body.
“Good,”
he said, his smile broadening.
He
pivoted to turn on the shower, and my eyes betrayed me again, admiring the
muscles in his back, checking out how they twitched and rippled when he moved. Football
and rowing had been good to him. My fingers itched to know how they’d feel
underneath my hands. Which was stupid because we had nothing in common. Not a
rich Highland Park boy and a poor girl from Ratcliffe.
And
most importantly, he was a player, not to be trusted.
He
hooked his thumbs into his pants, paused a moment—maybe waiting to see if I’d
run from the room?—but when I didn’t budge, he slid them and his underwear off.
My mouth opened. Cuba Hudson, the most popular guy at Briarcrest was standing
right in front of me, naked and beautiful. And like the cocky bastard he was,
he posed for me, his big-ass biceps and chiseled abs making me vibrate all
over. Need for him slammed into me.
Did I say he was hot?
Well,
I was wrong.
He
was off-the-charts, no-holds-barred, freaking going make-me-lose-my-mind-right-there
delicious. The ultimate man-candy, the kind I knew to stay away from, yet here
I was, ogling him.
“Still
leaving?” he asked huskily.
“Any
minute,” I said in a weak voice, backing up to the wall and propping myself up.
“Just chillin’. Shower wore me out. I might need to hold this wall up for a
sec.”
“I
want you to stay,” he said, eyes at half-mast, glowing with heat.
“Why?”
I said, aching to touch him. But that was crazy. I was a virgin, and I didn’t
know jack about touching a guy’s you-know-what.
“Look
at me, Dovey.”
I
tore my eyes from his manhood, blushing.
His
eyes burned. “There’s a sense of urgency in my head. Like our time is limited.”
I
nodded. Yeah, same here.
“And,
I’ll be honest, I don’t want to rush you, but I’m dying to sink into you. I
want to set you on fire with need for me.” He ghosted his hands over the steel
rod between his legs. Once, twice, and—holy shizzle, he didn’t stop.
My
chest rose faster and faster, and I tried to chill-out, but I couldn’t.
He
lowered his voice. “Kiss me again, Dovey.”
Oh.
“That’s a terrible idea, Cuba. Cause you’re naked, and I’m turned on because
you’re naked. And you’re touching yourself. And
you’re naked.” I sucked in a sharp breath. “Not a good combo. Odds are
we’ll end up in that shower together or back in your bed doing the
double-backed monster.”
“Then
join me in the shower. I’ll be good. For you.” He arched his back, his hands
still doing that back and forth that was driving me insane.
Liar, liar, pants on fire, I thought. No way he would he be
good.
Because
he was the Heartbreaker of Briarcrest Academy.
And
one wicked boy.
