Fault Line (Coastal University #2)

“What about your no-sex rule?” I ask, pulling back slightly to look at her. She rolls her eyes, frustration clear on her face. “Fuck the rule. I need you. Now.” My resolve starts to slip away at her words, but I need more confirmation than that. “Tell me you like me, and I’ll consider fucking you.” Her eyes widen. “What?” “You said you wouldn’t have sex with me because we don’t like each other. I already admitted that I adore you, so it’s your turn to own up.” I nudge her shoulder with my nose. “You like me, Karras. And you always fucking have.” “Like you?” She nearly chokes. “You mean, as a person?” “Sure, as a person.” I swipe my thumb over her nipple. “As a friend.” “We’re not friends.” “You’re right.” I let out a humorless chuckle. “I don’t often lick my friends’ pussies. So yeah, we’re a little fucking more than that now, aren’t we?” “Beck.” “Say it, Kaia,” I demand, voice ragged. “Or you’re gonna end up fucking yourself tonight.” “Fine. Fuck.” She pinches her eyes closed, takes a deep breath, then, “Okay, I like you.” My lip quirks. “And?” “And I always fucking have,” she grumbles, yanking my head back down. “Now, stop using your mouth for talking, and let it do what it’s best at.” “Always the romantic.”
