Moving my hands from Aspen’s waist, I slide my hand into hers and lead her through the house. She picks up the pace, her feet moving quickly to keep up with me as we push through the crowded rooms. I spot Hayden standing over in the corner talking to some girl, and I pause for a moment. Aspen all but runs into my back as I abruptly stop.
She doesn’t say a word as I head over to Hayden. His gaze meets mine over the top of the blonde’s head in front of him. Eyebrows pulled together, he looks at me cautiously, but his face softens as he sees Aspen with me. Realization dawns on his face and he nods.
“I’ll be good,” he tells me before I even get a chance to say anything to him. Hayden rode along with me here, mainly because I asked him to, but he was never someone to turn down a good time. And it looks like he found his good time for the night.
“Are you sure?” I ask him, my voice loud over the bass that vibrates through the speakers throughout the room. “I don’t wanna just leave you here alone.”
“I’m not alone,” he smirks, glancing down at the girl still facing him. “Seriously. Don’t worry about me. I’ll either get an Uber or find somewhere to stay for the night.”
Nodding, I leave Hayden as he directs his attention back to the girl that he found to occupy his time. We’ve all been there and even though most people know me as the playboy, they hadn’t seen anything until Hayden King arrived. That guy runs through girls faster than some people change their underwear. But it’s not my place to judge him at all.
Aspen follows along behind me as we step out into the cold air of the night. My car is parked along the curb so it isn’t a long walk. She smiles up at me, thanking me as I hold her door open for her and wait for her to get in like a perfect fucking gentleman.
I may not have the best track record when it comes to women, but I know how to be respectful.
Sliding behind the steering wheel, I drop my hand onto Aspen’s thigh after I start the engine of my car. She glances over at me, the flames dancing in her irises as she stares me down. So help me God, if she keeps looking at me like that, I’ll fuck her right here in the back seat of my car without a second fucking thought.
“You gotta stop looking at me like that if you want to make it back to my place,” I warn her, my voice hoarse as my cock strains against my pants.
A smirk plays on her lips and she raises an eyebrow at me. “What if I told you that I didn’t want to wait until we got back to your place?” she challenges me, the temptation mixing with the tension in the air between us.
“I’d fuck you in the back seat quick and then take you home and give you a proper fucking in my bed, like the gentleman I am.”
Aspen laughs lightly, her face innocent and carefree as she tips her head back slightly. It takes everything in me to tear my eyes away from her and direct my gaze back through the windshield. I swear, I could stare at her for the rest of my life. And I think I just heard my new favorite sound.
“Okay, okay,” she resigns as I pull the car away from the curb and head down the street. “Take me to your bed.”
Swallowing roughly, I nod as my cock pulsates in my pants. Tightening my grip on her thigh, my fingertips dig into her flesh and I hold on to her as we cruise down the street. Aspen falls silent, humming along to the music that plays through the speakers as I force myself to keep my eyes off her.
It feels like it takes forever to get back to the house, but we’re there before I know it. I pull into my spot, next to Asher’s car, and put it in park before killing the engine. Aspen looks over at the two other vehicles and the house before looking back at me.
“You have roommates?”
I nod as I turn to look at her. “Greyson and Asher. Knowing the two of them, they’re both probably passed out already.” I pause for a moment, tilting my head to the side. “Is that going to be a problem, that I don’t live alone?”
Aspen shakes her head, her throat moving as she swallows. “I just wasn’t sure how you wanted this arrangement to work out. If you wanted this to be a secret too or not.”
“I don’t fucking care what anyone sees or thinks,” I admit, my voice harsher than intended. “Let them think what they want. None of that matters to me because they’re not the ones involved in this.”
“I thought you wanted me to be a secret entirely,” she practically whispers as I reach for the door handle. I freeze with the door half open, turning back to look at her.
“You’re not a secret. I just don’t want anyone to know that I need a fucking tutor,” I tell her, the words coming out in a rush. “Trust me, baby. They all already know about you. They just don’t know about you helping me with my grades and shit.”
I watch her as she visibly relaxes, almost like she can take a deep breath. Her chest rises as she sucks in a breath, her eyes searching mine as she nods. Words fail her as she reaches for her door handle and follows suit, opening her door after I do. Climbing out of the car, I slam the door shut behind me before I go over to her.
Standing by the door, I watch her as she stands upright, her head tilting back to look at me. Her lips part slightly and I push her door shut as I close the distance between us. Aspen lifts her arms, her wrists locking behind my neck as I back her up against the side of the car. My hands are on her hips, my fingers digging into her skin.
“You’ll never be a secret, babe,” I assure her, my face dipping down to hers. My tongue darts out and I trace the outline of her plump lips before nipping at her bottom lip. “Even if I can’t give you my heart, I can at least make sure you’re never kept in the dark. You outshine everyone else on this planet and I want to make sure they all fucking know that.”
She inhales sharply, her lips parting slightly as my mouth collides with hers. Pressing my body flush against her, I grind my erection against her stomach, feeling the warmth spreading throughout my body from the lust that’s been building between the two of us. Aspen moans and I swallow her sounds as she tightens her arms around the back of my neck.
Sliding my hands down to her ass, I lift her into the air and into my arms as she instinctively wraps her legs around my waist. If I don’t get her inside right now, I’m going to end up fucking her out here in the parking lot where everyone can see us.
We don’t make it past the front of the car as I lay her down on the hood, her legs still locked around me. Feeling the warmth from between the center of her thighs, my cock throbs in protest, wanting to be balls deep inside her. Her lips collide with my mouth, her tongue sliding across mine as they tangle together.
“I can’t fuck you here,” I whisper against her lips, my voice hoarse and strained with lust. “I’m taking you inside now.”
“Take me wherever you want, Cam,” she breathes, a moan slipping from her lips as I lift her back into my arms. Her face drops down to my neck as she drags the tip of her tongue along my flesh. “I’m yours to do whatever you please with.”
“Trust me, baby… I’m going to make you forget every guy who’s been inside you before me.”
My hands grip her ass as I carry her inside, not giving a fuck if anyone hears us as I slam the front door shut behind us. My footsteps are heavy as I carry her up the stairs and to my bedroom.
And now I have her right where she belongs…
