Our age gap. The fact that thisissexual tension between us. And I’m ten years older than her.
Enough age difference to ignite a war with her brother.
Hell, a war inside myself. I don’t have sex with girls. They can’t take what I want.
Sexual tension or not, there’s a whole assload of reasons I will not be acting on any crazy impulses.
Her brother.
My job.
The fucked up past and future that is Memphis ‘Scout’ Silas. In other words, my goddamned life.
But a trembling breath leaves her lungs and brushes over my skin like a wind signaling danger.
Within seconds the ache inside me turns into a roaring hurricane gale.
My mouth goes dry, my tongue swipes my lip.
Fuck. “Aria,” I warn in a gruff tone. As if she knows that I’m one second from doing something bad.
The storm grows and grows inside me until my abs are clenched and my muscles are burning. Heavy lust pulses through me, twists my bones, pretzeling my will. Making me crazier than I’ve ever felt in my life.
“I’m twenty one. I’m not a kid.”
Fisting my hands next to my thighs, I fight the urge to punch myself in the dick.
“Close enough.”
“That’s a lot like them thinking I can’t dive well because I’m a woman.”
“This is nothing like that,” I rasp, my hackles rising. But fuck if I can tear my gaze off her mouth.
Kissing Aria would be a disaster.
But, god bless whoever made her…
Those pretty brown eyes.
The way she gives me hell. The sweet line of her neck.
The sweeter smell of her skin. Curves for days packed in a strong little package.
But that’s not it.
That would be so damned simple. I could just jerk off or solve this problem when I get back stateside with some rando brown-eyed brunette.
But the evil asshole called logic in my head laughs at me. She’s so much more than a fuck.
So goddamned much more than a tight, wet pussy and a few hours of distraction.
Skating her tongue over her bottom lip, she sighs. “You feel it,don’t you?”
“No.” Yes. Fuck, yes.
It’s as if my bone marrow is jonesing for a hit of her.
The long kind. Days. Weeks. Months.
