Chapter Four #3
“So, remember how you said we would… finish that later? Well, I think it’s late enough, don’t you?”
He rests his forehead on mine. Our lips are so close but not yet touching.
“What are you asking me, Dee?” He smirks widely.
“Just kiss me, already,” I reply, and he doesn’t hesitate.
He leans forward, and in an instant, his soft lips are on mine, devouring me.
Passion ignites within me like I have never felt, and I wrap my arms around his neck while his entire body pushes against mine.
Even though I’m drunk out of my mind, I’m still sure this is the best kiss I’ve ever had.
I let out a slight moan, and his tongue enters my mouth.
It caresses mine softly but with urgency.
Colt moves his hand to the back of my head, grabs a handful of hair, and holds me to him forcefully.
When I move my hand down to his bicep, he takes hold of my wrist, pinning it above my head with a force that makes me whimper against his mouth.
This is scorching hot!
Colt’s hips meet mine as he grinds his erection, pressing it firmly into me, which causes a giggle to slip from my lips against his.
“Did you just giggle while I’m kissing you?” he murmurs through soft kisses to my lips. I giggle again. “Seriously, that does nothing for a man’s ego, Dee,” he says, grinding into me again.
I burst out laughing, and he pulls back, looking at me, creasing his eyebrows.
I point down to his pants, where his very big erection is clearly making itself known.
He smirks and grinds into me again, this time a little more aggressively, then moves his lips to mine vigorously, his fingers sliding up around my neck, and gripping, possessively.
I whimper slightly, his kisses so strong and seductive that I almost climax.
My breaths are heavy as his tongue finds mine again.
We’re up against the wall, making out like horny teenagers, when I hear someone clearing their throat.
Colt groans but pulls away, and I have to squeeze my thighs together to dull the throbbing ache at the loss of his gorgeous lips.
“What?” he asks, short and sharp.
And we both turn to see Jessi standing, watching us.
I nuzzle into Colt’s shoulder, hiding my embarrassment for letting myself go like that.
Public displays of affection have never been something I was up for, but I couldn’t help myself.
Colt has some sort of superpower magnetism that pulls me to him, and all rational thoughts have departed the station.
“We’re leaving. C’mon, we have to get back to the hotel. Our jet takes off early in the morning,” Jessi states, taking Colt by the hand and pulling him away from me. She walks off with a stumbling Colt, leaving me bereft in the hallway.
Colt looks back and calls out my name, so I walk casually behind him and Jessi, trying to act like I’m unbothered, but deep down, the familiar sense of dread is making itself known.
We walk outside, and the cool night air hits me like a polar storm. Suddenly, I’m freezing, the chilled air reminding me how much I really need to pee. Hopefully, it’s not far to the hotel.
I’m the last to get into the stretch Hummer and notice that Jessi and Colt are sitting at the other end. He looks at me and smiles as I shuffle next to Anna and Johnny. Then the car door shuts, and we’re on our way back to the Rutherford Regent.
I would be lying if I said I didn’t sense some humiliation that Jessi stole Colt so easily away from me, but then again, Colt was hers first, so maybe it was me who did the stealing.
Either way, it seems he’s forgotten I’m here.
He’s laughing and having fun with Dingo, and Jessi is now all over him.
“Dee, just be careful, okay?” Anna quietly warns.
“Be careful about what?”
“Babe, don’t,” Johnny urges.
“No, I have to. Be careful of Colt. He’s a heartbreaker.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the guy to death.
He’s practically family, but don’t get your hopes up.
He’s… well, he’s rock royalty, and even though Johnny and Dingo can be faithful, we were with them before the fame and fortune.
Colt, well… he’s used to getting what he wants, and then he moves on to the next one.
I like you, Dee, and I don’t wanna see you get hurt,” Anna confides, taking my hand in hers.
I swallow the lump in my throat, but it doesn’t seem to want to go down, no matter how I try.
Then I feel it, the sting of tears prickling in my eyes.
I look over at Colt, who has Jessi sitting on his lap.
He’s not looking at her, but she is all over him.
I turn back to Anna and nod, swiping a stray tear from my cheek.
“It’s too late, isn’t it?” Anna asks, and I look at her with my forehead crinkled. “You’re already falling,” she says on an exhale.
Is that what this is?
Am I falling for Colter Slade?
The biggest rock star bachelor the world has ever seen?
How could this even be possible?
I have been around him for such a short time.
It’s true.
I do like him.
I like him too much.
Could this be some sort of insta-love they talk about in romance books?
The problem is, though, this rock god is leaving in a few short hours.
It can’t work.
It won’t work.
Our worlds are so incredibly different.
I don’t fit in his.
He won’t fit in mine.
I have to distance myself from him.
But I will always have the memory of our first kiss.
And the two days I spent with Colter Slade.
But this is where our story ends.
