Blindsided (LSU, #1)

by Becca Steele

“Fuck,” he whispered, his breath hitting my lips, and then he planted his hands on the wall on either side of my face. I didn’t even dare to breathe. Then, he kissed me.

A sudden weird urge came over me, and I followed it through without even thinking about it. Stepping up right behind him, I planted one arm on the counter and wrapped the other around his waist. Then before he had a chance to react, I angled my head forwards and clamped my teeth down on the top of his shoulder.

The problem was I didn’t want to do the right thing. I couldn’t admit it out loud, but I wanted Noah for myself.

Liam used the moment to turn his head the tiniest bit. His breath caressed my skin as his soft rasp sounded in my ear, too low for anyone else to hear. “After this, you’re mine.”

There was no turning back this time. I knew I’d confused Noah with the way I’d been acting around him—but I didn’t know if he realised just how confused I’d been myself. But after our conversation in the library earlier, cemented by our mutual decision to be here together, right now, I was all in. All I wanted was to lose myself in him, to make him forget anyone’s name but mine.

The sight of him wearing my hoodie…it made me feel things that I’d never felt before. Things that scared me.

“There are no other girls. I’m not fucking interested, okay? I want you. I want you, and I can’t tell anyone.”

“I’m going to take you home and make you forget everyone else’s name but mine.”
