“I freaking love them.” She reaches over and gives the snoozing cat a quick scratch on the back. “Poor Boo has to deal with sleeping with the light on after we watch them.”
I admire that fearless attitude, the way she owns her space and her choices. As she grabs the remote, I’m struck by how fucking sexy she is, the way her confidence holds me spellbound.
“Maybe you could stay tonight so we can sleep with the light off,” she fires back, and the glint in her eye tells me she’s feeling the pull between us, too. She hops up and turns off all the lights before returning to sit next to me.
“I’ll do anything for you.” I hug her close to my side as the movie flickers to life. The tension in the room thickens with every heartbeat. I can feel her pulse racing next to me as the adrenaline of jump scares blasts through the air and simmers between us. Each time something unexpected happens on-screen, I sneak a glance at her, seeing the way she reacts, caught between excitement and fear.
But I lost all interest in the movie the moment Leni settled beside me. I’m drawn to her and the physical chemistry igniting between us. She rolls her eyes at a cheesy jump scare, laughing, and it reverberates in my chest. I can’t help it. I lean in closer, my lips brushing against her ear.
In this crazy moment with the horror movie dimming down and Leni stealing all of my senses, a fierce realization hammers home. I’ll never let her go. I’m captivated by this fiery woman. She’s a force of nature who’s ignited something crazy deep inside me.
The movie flickers on the screen, but I can hardly focus on the plot. The shrill screams and gruesome scenes play out in the background while tension grips me, but it’s not the horror on the screen that has my heart racing. Oh no. It’s the heat radiating from Nash, who’s got his arm draped casually around me.
I settle against him, trying to find a comfortable position, but every time his warmth seeps into my side, it sends my pulse skyrocketing. All my blood rushes straight to my girly parts every time his thigh brushes against mine. His scent, powerful and enticing, envelops me, drowning out the spine-chilling soundtrack.
Caught in this intoxicating moment, the scenes flash past me while I battle to keep my attention on the film. The characters scream as they dodge the villain, but I’m fighting my own internal battle against the electric tension sizzling between us. The undeniable pull of his presence makes it nearly impossible to give a damn about the killer chasing after unsuspecting victims. All I want is to lean into him and let the world fade away.
I steal glances up at him, shadowed in the darkness of the room, the flickering light casting his jawline in sharp relief. He’s intently focused on the movie, but I can see the wicked glimmer in his eyes when they catch mine. It sends a thrill coursing through me.
As the film reaches its climax, the tension builds to a crescendo. I feel the sheer force of his energy beside me, and it’s hard to ignore the rush of anticipation building in the air. The credits finally roll and the haunting soundtrack fades, leaving an echoing silence surrounding us.
I turn to look up at Nash with my heart hammering in my chest. There’s something electric in his gaze, a spark telling me he’s feeling the pull between us, too.
And before I can even process what’s happening, he leans over to catch my lips in a passionate kiss. It’s fierce, hungry, and utterly consuming. A raw wave of desire crashes over me, pulling me down into its depths. My body responds instinctively, melting against him as I sink into the kiss, feeling like my entire body is on fire.
His hands cradle my face, thumbs brushing over my cheekbones as if he’s memorizing every detail. The world outside ceases to exist as we lose ourselves in the heat of our connection. He pulls me closer, deepening the kiss, and every shred of my resistance crumbles as his warm hands slowly slide across my back. His tongue slowly explores my mouth, sending my thoughts scattering.
Lust and adrenaline mingle, surging through me like a current as I tug him in tighter, craving more of his touch.
When we finally pull apart, breaths mingling in the space between us, the world outside the cozy apartment fades away. All I can focus on is Nash. His eyes, dark and intense, reflect my own shock. Silence surrounds us as both of us reel from the raw intensity of the kiss.
I’m still buzzing from the taste of him, the way his mouth moved against mine, possessive yet gentle. Every nerve in my body tingles as an electric hum runs through me, making it hard to catch my breath. I can’t find the words to explain the whirlwind of emotion swelling inside me.
