I was pacing. Literally just walking back and forth in my room like I hadn't just lived through the horniest, most deranged two hours of my entire life. My stomach was flipping like crazy. My skin felt electric. I couldn't sit still.
Every time I heard the pipes groan or the bathroom door creak, I jumped like a goddamn cartoon character. The text was still open on my screen:
After that... I'm coming to your room. Be ready.
Be ready? Be ready for what? For him to chicken out? For him to lose his mind and go back to Paige like nothing happened? Or for him to walk in here, drop that towel, and finally fuck me like we both knew he wanted to?
I sat down on my bed, then stood right back up. I couldn't even decide if I should be wearing clothes. Like, what's the move here? Boxers and nothing else? Naked and spread-eagle? T-shirt and shorts like this is still some kind of casual, bro-y misunderstanding?
He was taking forever.
I kept checking my phone. No new texts.
He said he was coming.
God, my dick was already hard. Just from thinking about it. From remembering the way his hands felt on me, how he spat on my hole like it was nothing, how his tongue went so deep it made my knees shake. No guy had ever done that to me before. Not like him. Not like Liam.
A few minutes later, I heard the shower cut off.
And then?
Silence.
I froze.
The hallway creaked.
My door opened.
And there he was. Liam. Hair damp. Shirtless. Just a towel slung low on his hips. His chest was rising and falling like he'd run a fucking marathon. His eyes found mine instantly, like he was afraid if he looked away he'd lose the nerve.
I couldn't even move. I just stared.
He stepped inside and shut the door behind him.
