Catching Feelings (Orleans University, #2)

by Maren Moore

It’s not love, but it’s definitely lust, and when it comes to wanting Vivienne Brentwood, I’m a fucking goner. I never stood a damn chance.

“Yeah, okay, Viv. And I would’ve broken his fucking nose, so by all means…” I sweep my hand out toward the bar. “Go back in there and find someone else to kiss. Try me.”

“Fine, Father.” She smarts while she finishes arranging the Uber on her phone.

My lips tilt up at her bratty comment. “I prefer Daddy, but whatever works for you, babe.”

“Are you going to waste more time pretending you don’t want this, or are you going to let me fuck the shit out of you?”

Goddamnit, this is the hottest thing I’ve ever experienced. I want her to ride my fucking face so I can drown in her.

RIP me, death by pussy. What a fucking way to go.

“Grab the headboard and ride my face.” Her eyebrows shoot up as if she didn’t expect me to want it, but I do, and right the fuck now, or I’ll, I dunno… die.

“It wasn’t a mistake, Viv.” He snorts. “It was the best sex of my life, and it wasn’t a fucking mistake. Don’t say that shit.”

“Do you fucking see why I’m not going to let you run, Viv? Because if it was a mistake, or if it was wrong, then it wouldn’t fucking feel like this. It wouldn’t feel so goddamn good.”

“I see you, Vivienne. I see you trying to hide yourself from me, from all of our friends. But I’m going to be here, even when you push me away. Even when you hate me for how annoying I am, for threatening those walls you’ve put up. I’m not going anywhere, baby. Even if all you need from me is to be your punching bag. You are not alone.”

didn’t want anyone but you, Vivienne. Not then and not now. It’s only been you.”

“And this is what you do when you love someone. You stay. You show up for them.” He leans in closer, still holding my gaze. “I will be here to hold the weight when it’s too much. I’ll be your strength when you have none left. I’ll hold you, and I’ll take all the shit you wanna give me. I’ll be whatever you need as long as I’m with you. Let me love you, Viv. Let me be the one to take care of you and to be there for you so you’re never alone. I love you so

fucking much that I can hardly breathe sometimes. I just need you to let me love you.”
