Blindsided (LSU, #1)

by Becca Steele

There was no doubt that he was very, very hot, but it was more or less negated by the fact that, based on first impressions, he was a complete and utter bellend.

“You’re bi?” Preston stared at him. “Uh, yeah. The year after you left school, when I became captain… You know our old rivals, Highnam Academy? We started some shit with them, and their team captain didn’t take it too well. One thing led to another, and now…he’s my boyfriend.”

“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. And my entire world was turned upside down.

If I could think straight, I probably would’ve said something like, What the fuck am I doing? But all I could focus on was the fact that Elliot had his hands all over Noah, and no. Fuck. That. Mine. Mine. Mine. The word resonated through me like a drumbeat, impossible to ignore.

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.” Fuck

“Touching me while I’m asleep? Bit creepy.”

“Wanna see the maze?” Noah didn’t miss a beat, instantly lightening the atmosphere. “Is it a-mazing?” “Shut up.”

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

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

“You’re mine,” he rasped. “Yours. And you’re mine.” I kissed him, hard, and he moaned into my mouth.

“All I want to do is kiss you. I’m fucking addicted to your mouth.”
