But then I feel August’s lips brush against my temple, reminding me that I am very much alive. I play dead slumped against him until he presses me against the seat, giving me no choice but to open my eyes. Oh, he seems pleased with himself, from the look of satisfaction that I see on his gorgeous face.

His lips brush mine, his tongue sneaking out for a lick. “Was that proper first date behavior?”

“No.” I am smiling, and I close my eyes again. Like I’m afraid to look at him.

“Open your eyes, Sin.” I do as he says and he’s right there. All I can see. Like he’s become my entire world and nothing else matters. “I have zero patience. I enjoyed our dinner, but I’m not going to take you on five dates before I can finally fuck you.It feels like I’ve been waiting for this moment for months. My entire fucking life.”

I gape at him, shocked at those last words he uttered. Does he mean what he says? About the impatient part, most definitely.

“I don’t like playing games either. Tell me now if you want to continue this.”

“Continue what?” I ask, in a daze.

“This.” He swallows. “Us.”

Chapter Thirty-Five

AUGUST

It feels like everything hinges on what this eighteen-year-old angel-faced beauty is about to say and I’m pissed at myself for falling so hard for her. But it’s like I can’t control my emotions. Something I have been in control of my entire life is wiped away by one woman. I didn’t think this sort of thing was possible.

But here I am. More than eager to finger or eat her pussy as many times as I possibly can without getting anything in return just to witness her coming. Because the girl comes hard, every single time, and it is a sight to behold.

Her smile is small, her face flushed and covered with a light sheen of sweat. She’s the prettiest thing I’ve ever seen. “I want to continue this.” She hesitates. “Us.”

My chest grows tight and I wonder if that’s my heart. Look at what she does to me with just a few spoken words. I’m all twisted up over this girl and I fucking revel in it.

“I want you to come home with me.” My voice is low, my intentions clear.

Sinclair frowns. “To the frat?”

I slowly shake my head. “To my apartment I have in the city.”

“You have an apartment in the city?” I think my girl is in shock. She looks delightfully confused.

“I have homes all over the world. Well, my family does.” The apartment I’m referring to is mine. Once I came into my inheritance, I made the purchase from my cousins Grant and Finn. They run a huge real estate brokerage and got me an excellent deal.

“I should probably go back to campus?—”

“Do you have classes tomorrow?” I already know the answer.

She shakes her head.

“Then you’re coming home with me.” The matter is settled and I lean back against the seat, dragging her with me until she’s curled up in my lap. Her soft curves sink into my body and my skin sizzles everywhere we make contact.

I need to get her out of this car and into my bed immediately.

“My head is spinning,” she mumbles.

I puff out my chest, proud. I must’ve given her an earth-shaking orgasm. “We’ll be home soon.”

I say home like it’s our home and maybe someday it could be.

Jesus, I have truly lost it. But for once, I’m not fighting it. I’m going to soak this up and…enjoy it.

“My stomach hurts.” She shifts against me. “I don’t feel so good.”

I glance down at her, noting the sudden yellow tinge to her skin, and I sit up, hitting the button that lowers the partition between us and the driver. “Pull over.”
