“Yeah, Stone. We’re good.”

“Good.” He rises from his chair and rounds the desk, pulling me to my toes and wrapping his large arms round me. “As a result of I need you nonetheless I can have you ever, Ivy.”

My breath catches, and I swallow onerous to clear my throat, regardless that I’ve no fucking clue how to answer that. Worse? My physique is reacting to Stone in a giant method. My nipples are onerous, and there’s a telltale pulsing between my thighs. I pull again a couple of inches to place only a trace of area between us, however once I look into his eyes and see the warmth, my eyes go to his lips.

His nostrils flare, and he leans ahead just a bit, or possibly I lean ahead. Both method, the outcome is similar. We’re so shut that our breath mingles. So shut I can see his gaze because it darkens with need.

Want for me.

We transfer collectively on the similar time, nearer and nearer.

The bell sounds once more, three knocks following it, and I do know who it’s. “Grey,” I whisper.

“Proper,” Stone replies, dropping his palms and stepping again. “Sorry.”

“No, I imply, that’s who’s on the door. It’s his knock.” My gaze refuses to look away from his lips, forcing me to surprise what they style like. No. I can’t care what Stone’s full lips style like. Not even a bit of bit. That’s what I inform myself as I open the door for Grey who’s sporting a thunderous expression. “Hey, Grey.”

“Why is Stone right here?”

My brows dip in confusion, and the guilt I felt a second in the past is changed by anger. “He introduced lunch.”

“You stated you needed to be alone.” His tone is accusatory, which pisses me off.

“I did need to be alone, however Stone dropped by with lunch.”

“And instantly, you didn’t need to be alone anymore?” He steps inside, brushing his shoulder in opposition to mine as a substitute of giving me his standard peck on the cheek or lips.

“Grey, what’s your drawback? I didn’t know he was coming, however he introduced lunch for fuck’s sake.” I observe him into the kitchen and witness an epic stare-down between him and Stone.

“You have to depart.” Grey’s voice is tight, however his anger is obvious. “Now.”

Stone flashes a cocky smile that’s positive to piss off Grey much more. “You’re her boyfriend, not her proprietor or her daddy.”

Grey’s palms ball up into fists, and he steps ahead.

Stone doesn’t flinch, and worse, he retains smiling.

“I stated depart. Now.”

Stone ignores Grey and shoots me a glance of concern as if asking if I’m all proper.

I respect it, however the fact is that this pressure is simply stressing me the fuck out. “Each of you get out. Now.”

Grey whirls round, brown eyes extensive with shock. “You’re kicking me out?”

I nod and provides his chest a shove out of the kitchen. “Yeah, I’m. So, go. Each of you.” I give him one final shove till he’s on the opposite facet of the brink.

Stone steps round me and stops beside Grey. “See you round, Ivy. You too, Sage.” His grin grows at my sister, who I assume has appeared from her magnificence sleep behind me, taking all of it in like trashy actuality TV.

“Bye, Stone. See ya, Grey,” she says, nonetheless groggy from too many hours, conked out on her pillow.

I slam the door and lock it for good measure earlier than urgent my again in opposition to it. I stare at Sage and let loose a feral growl of frustration. Males complicate all the pieces.

“Too unhealthy,” my sister grins at me. “It was simply getting good. I used to be able to make some popcorn.”

“Glad I can entertain you,” I reply sarcastically.

“Me, too!”
