“Are you fucking kidding? Forget that kiss?” he bit out. “It was my first. There’s no forgetting that. And it was hot. More than hot. Jesus, we were going at each other like animals. We nearly broke my chair in the process.”

I laughed at that. I’d never be able to look at an office chair the same way.

“Yeah, we did.”

Maddox licked his lips, and I remembered exactly how he tasted, and how those lips felt on mine. Not the drinking, not the high… nothing could make me forget that kiss, either. It wasn’t my first, but it was the hottest. And what was worse? I wanted another taste. More than one.

“Stop staring at me like that,” he growled and suddenly sat up. Then he slid off the bed and paced in front of me. “And what happened that night… happened. But it’s done. It can’t happen again. We’re teammates, for fuck’s sake. If anyone else finds out?—”

“I know,” I sighed.

It would be a fucking mess. One I didn’t need. Figured. The first person I really wanted, who wanted me, and I couldn’t do anything about it.

Or, we could fool around in secret? Who would that hurt? No one.

“Or—” I started.

“Kay.”

“What?” I looked up.

I fought the urge to reach for him. My roommate wasn’t around. We were alone. We had this small but surprisingly sturdy bed. And I wanted to get naked. I wanted Mad. And I wanted to forget about school, and scholarships, and anything except feeling good.

“Don’t even think about it,” he bit out. “Let’s get started on a plan for your finals.”

I heard the words coming out of his mouth, but I wasn’t paying attention. Instead, I threw off the heavy blanket and then my t-shirt.

“What the fuck are you doing?” Maddox hissed.

“Getting comfortable. It’s warm in here.”

“It’s not that hot. And like you told me earlier, put the shirt back on.”

“Why? Does my naked chest bother you?” I teased.

“Don’t say naked.”

I leaned back on my forearms, legs splayed wide. There was no hiding the bulge in my jeans. Another few seconds and my dick was going to rip right through this denim. And I didn’t missthe way Maddox’s eyes roamed over me, the way he licked his lips.

“Come here,” I whispered and crooked one finger.

Since when did I tempt anyone into bed? Like, never.

Like, now.

“No.” Maddox stood at the edge, in between my legs. “Get up. We’re going to the library.”

“But I feel lightheaded.”

No shit. All the blood in my body was in my dick.

“Are you dizzy?” Maddox asked.

“No. But I might need a kiss.”

Mad’s reaction was just what I figured. He rolled his eyes and shook his head.

“Get up. Grab your shit.”
