on his lips. She was the sweetest thing he had ever known, and he wanted her more than anything before. All he wanted to do was take her home, carry her up the stairs to his bed, and make love to her. But they had to go back to her house to check on their parents.
That made him smile, as if they were the adults and their parents needed supervising. If anyone could read his thoughts right now, they would know it was him that needed supervising. All the things he wanted to do to Drew, starting with kissing every inch of her luscious body. Starting at her toes, he would work his way up until he reached his prize. That heated part of her that would be even sweeter on his tongue than her lips.
“Eirik, you missed the turning,” she said.
“Sorry. Thoughts elsewhere.”
She slipped her hand across to lay it on his thigh, and then she began to inch up higher. He swallowed, trying to concentrate on getting them home. She wasn’t helping. Not one bit.
By the time he turned off and headed to Bear Bluff, her hand was stroking the hardness that his pants hid. Lazily moving up and down, while she looked out of the window into the night. Shifting his body, he thought about pulling over. He desperately needed some kind of release from the pent-up tension in his body.
Gripping the steering wheel harder, he watched the road, moving his hips in time with her hand. When she cupped it over the head of his cock and rubbed it very lightly, it was too much.
“Fuck. I’m going to come,” he said, the whites of his knuckles showing as he fought to keep control.
“Isn’t that the idea?” she asked, her voice so sexy he wanted to throw her in the back of the truck and fuck her right now. Instead, he came in his pants.
Swerving quickly, he pulled the truck over while he let his mind concentrate on exactly what her hand was doing. He thrust up to meet each stroke, and closed his eyes, gasping for air when he finally finished.
Looking across at her, she had a smug look on her face. He leaned across the seats and fisted her hair, groaning while he captured her mouth. His other hand went to her breast, and he caressed the soft flesh hidden from him beneath her clothes.
“I want you, Drew.”
“We have to go home.”
“I know. Meet me tomorrow.”
“Where?” she asked breathlessly.
“Same place as we met today. If nothing else, we can go up to the mountain.”
She didn’t ask him what they would be doing up the mountain; she simply nodded, searching his face for reassurance. But reassurance about what? She knew they weren’t fated to be together. Then he got it. She was worried he was taking advantage of her and was going to screw her and then run.
He leaned forward and tenderly kissed her. “No pressure. If you change your mind at any point, say the word and it will be over, and I will never bother you again if that is what you want.”
Damn, he hoped it wasn’t.
Chapter Fourteen - Drew
A new day. It felt like a new life. They had arrived home, trying to act normally around their parents. Not that they would have noticed. Their parents had spent the time Eirik and Drew were at dinner, going over old photos. It was amazing how much they had in common. And the great thing was that rather than dragging her dad back down into depression, the photos had made him happy. As though he felt it safe now to remember her mom without sadness.
“So what do you have planned?” her dad asked when she came into the kitchen.
“I have to work.”
“All day? Want to meet after work? I could walk down and meet you.”
“I can’t, not today.” Why did she feel so guilty? Because you are planning to have sex with a man who is not your mate.
“You have to work late?”
He knew she always came straight home after work. But she didn’t want to tell him where she was going, or who with. Instead, she tried to be evasive. “No, I... I just have something else on.”
He came to her and looked her straight in the eye. “He’s
