Be With Me (Adair Family #4)

by Samantha Young

I remembered the way he’d held my gaze as he moved inside me and how it had felt more right to be connected to him than any boyfriend from my past. It was terrifying. A giant red flag. Yet whatever Arran saw on my expression, it made him charge into the house, slam the door closed behind him, and lift me like I weighed nothing onto my dining table.

“Every time I see you, you’re more beautiful than the last time. How is that possible?”

“Do you want my mouth?” “What do you think?” I huffed, pushing my hips toward him. I felt his chuckle against my skin. “I remember you being a little more patient the other night.” “Then you remembered wrong.” I opened my eyes. “Please.” His expression turned tender. “Fuck,” he whispered. “For the rest of my life, all you’ll have to do is say that word, and I’ll be putty in your hands.”

“Arran and I are dating.” Stunned silence greeted me. I looked to Mac, who was frowning. “Our friendship,” I hurried on, “has been important to me, and, um, to Arran, but we realized it’s more than that. So we’ve decided to date. Each other. Just each other. We’re seeing just each other, no one else. Not that I was, anyway.” I laughed nervously. “But Arran is just seeing me. There’s no one … yeah, we’re dating.” I clamped my mouth shut to stop the nervous rambling.
