“Your legs are twice as long as mine.” I almost want to laugh, but I can’t read him right now. He stops walking suddenly. I don’t get the chance to say anything else before I’m in his arms. “Aw, big guy.” I wasn’t expecting that.
West turns at the end of the hallway, going down his. Jack steps out from one of the rooms, his eyes widening slightly when he sees us. I feel my cheeks flush. Think this makes it more than clear that there is something going on between West and me.
“Good evening,” Jack says with a smirk as we pass by.
“Evening,” I say back because what else do I say?! And I don't want to be rude.
“Fuck off,” West tells him, making my mouth fall open. Jack only chuckles and slips back into his room.
“That was rude.”
“Jack is a nosy shit.” There is no fire behind his words, and I’m getting the sense this is their relationship. “He always knows everything.” West enters his room, kicking the door closed behind him before putting me on my feet.
“Are you mad?”
“Mad?” The word comes out clipped.
“Yes, mad,” I repeat, not backing down.
“Yeah, I’m fucking mad.” His hand comes to my face, tilting my head back as his mouth crashes down onto mine.
That's all it takes for me to forget everything and start kissing him back. This kiss is harder and wilder than the one before. “You drive me insane,” he says when he rips his mouth from mine.
West lifts me off my feet once more. I wrap my legs around him. “I don’t mean to.” But I can’t say that I hate it if he’s going to kiss me like that when I do. He carries me over to one of the chairs. This room is as big as all the others. He sits down so that I’m straddling him, his face going to my neck.
His breathing is still heavy, and I can feel how tense he is. I start to run my fingers up and down his shoulders, then to the back of his neck and down, trying to soothe him.
“Talk to me.” I sink my fingers into his short hair.
“Stay out of his room,” West finally says, lifting his head.
“What?”
“I don’t want you in his room.” His comment about me not going into Rich’s room that first day comes back to me. I’d forgotten all about it.
“But I can be in your room?”
“Teddy.” He half-growls my name, and it’s damn hot, but his stare is intense. I try to match it right back.
“West.” I have to fight a laugh.
“I’m not joking.”
“Well, then.” I drum my fingers on his shoulder. “You’re going to have to tell me why. I’m not saying I won’t stay out of his room; I’d just like to know the reason.”
“Because it pisses me off. The way the two of you are together has been getting under my skin from the first fucking day.” Whoa, I can tell he's really pissed off. There is so much emotion coming from him. I can hear it in his words; I see it all over his face.
"Hey, now." I softly bring my hand to his cheek. I can feel the effect just my touch has on him. I love that he gets so worked up over me but with the simplest touch I can calm him. “Rich is my friend. I’m not attracted to him in the least.” His eyes meet mine, and this time it’s me that initiates the kiss.
It starts slow and gentle, but it’s not long before West takes over, wrapping one of his hands in my hair and kissing me as though he can’t get enough. His other hand comes to my hip, gripping me there as I slowly rock myself against him.
“Careful Teddy Bear,” he warns.
Right now, the last thing I want to be is careful. I just want to be his.
Chapter Fifteen
WEST
Her breath hitches as she rocks her hips again. I can’t believe I got her back into my room. I was sure I wouldn't get to touch her again till tomorrow. I knew how little control I had; it’s why I’d kept my ass in my bedroom where Jack brought me my dinner. I knew I wouldn't be able to keep my hands off her.
“Teddy Bear?”
“You’re so damn soft. All I want to do is keep you close.” Her sleep clothes aren’t helping those thoughts either. When I’d seen her on the cameras come upstairs and down the twins’ hallway, I thought she was going to see Willa, but she’d knocked on Rich’s door and then went inside.
I saw red. I lasted all of five seconds before I was out of my room and heading toward her. I didn't think Teddy was the type of girl who would kiss me and then someone else, but that didn't stop the jealousy that filled me. I couldn't control myself.
