Excerpt
The time came
around nine o’clock when we’d all stuffed ourselves. Abby stood up from the
table, a little wobbly. I swooped in, waiting for her to decide it was time to
go.
“Come on. I’ll
take you home,” I murmured, taking her by the elbow. She looked up at me.
“No,” she
murmured.
“What?”
“No. I don’t
want you to take me home. Now will you move?”
“Wait. Slow
down.”
“I want somebody
else, Max. Now move.”
“Who?”
“Anybody. It
doesn’t matter. Just not you.” She shook me off—thank God we’d both been
whispering, or practically, because it didn’t seem like anybody else noticed. I
followed her out the door to the restaurant’s entrance.
“You can’t drive
in this condition,” I warned her.
“Then I’ll get a
cab. You can leave now.” She glared at me, her cheeks flushed.
“What?”
“You ruined it.
You always ruin it.”
“How the hell
did I ruin anything?”
She looked back
into the restaurant, frowning. “I was having fun. People were talking to me,
seeing me, liking me. And you had to take over like you always do.”
My car pulled up
in front of us, and I took the keys from the valet. “Come on. I’ll drive you
home, and we can talk about it on the way.” I practically threw her into the
car before she could curse me out, then got in myself. Once I locked the doors
from my side, she couldn’t open them.
“What the fuck
Max!” She slapped the dashboard, then sank into her seat with a groan. “I was
having fun. I was about to get laid, damn it!”
I bit my tongue
until I calmed down. “By whom?”
“I don’t know!
What did it matter? I was gonna get some for me, for once. And you won’t let
me. I have to always be there for you, but you can never be there for me. You
couldn’t just let me enjoy myself. No, you probably wanted to tell me all about
your stupid fucking cheerleader girlfriend and ask me what you should do about
her!” There was so much venom in her voice. She hated me.
I pulled over to
the shoulder of the road. “What are you doing?” she asked. I unbuckled my belt
without saying a word, then turned to her.
“You wanna know
why I wanted to take you home?” I reached out, grabbing her by the shoulders. I
pulled her to me before she could push me away and crushed my mouth against
hers.
She only fought
me for a split second before giving in. She sighed, relaxing, and I wrapped my
arms around her. Her lips were so sweet, soft and yielding. When I slid my
tongue between them, they opened to give me better access. I tasted the inside
of her mouth, taking my time. This girl who had been my friend for so long, and
she was right—I’d used her in a way. This girl who was always there for me
without asking anything in return. This sexy, incredible girl.
The kiss
deepened, with her tongue dancing alongside mine. She wrapped her arms around
my neck, almost growling. Sounding hungry, desperate. I ran one of my hands
over her body, listening to the way the breath caught in her throat. She whined
a little, pressing against me, and when I made contact with her tits she moaned
into my mouth.
By the time the
kiss ended, we were both breathless. Her eyes were wide, stunned.
“That’s why,” I
whispered, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.
