Crimson Ice Bundle (paperback)

“What did I do wrong?” I ask. She’s clearly mad. Is it because Ashton was hitting on her, or something else? Harper stops walking and spins around to face me. It gives me a few seconds to catch up, closing the distance between us. “You really have to ask?” she scoffs at me. She can barely meet my stare, her gaze everywhere but on me. And I could be wrong, but her eyes almost look like they’re glistening, as if she’s holding back tears. I reach out, my fingers guiding her chin up, staring into her dark gaze that captivates me and lures me in. My breath catches in my throat. “You’re mad.” “Did you get all that from me leaving the party? You must really be a genius,” she seethes. I bite down on my tongue. She’s got a mouth on her. I glance at her lips and then back up to her dark eyes. “Spell it out for me,” I say. Her gaze tightens, and she sucks in a breath. “I shouldn’t have to. We’re just friends. Barely even that.” She pulls out of my embrace, and the air is even colder than before. “If we’re less than friends, why are you running away?” I ask. It’s obvious she’s upset. I’m just not quite sure what I did wrong, and by the look on her face, I’m to blame. Her tongue darts out, swiping across her top lip. I can’t stop myself; I lean in, taking a taste, desiring to silence her anger. I expect her to pull away, to smack me across the face, yell, scream. I’m waiting for her reaction, but it isn’t what I’m anticipating. Her lips melt into mine, and she leans closer, her fingers trembling against my chest as I wrap my arms around her waist, pulling her tighter. The kiss starts out simple yet passionate, but when she doesn’t back off, I drag my tongue across her bottom lip. Her mouth parts, granting me entrance as I deepen the kiss, and I hear the perfect sweet moan fall from the back of her throat that elicits a primal response deep within me. Fuck, she sounds hot. I want to hear her moan my name, listen to her panting and breathless as I bury my cock deep inside of her. Harper pulls back, breathless. Her cheeks are rosy and her lips swollen. She’s a gorgeous sight, and the cold air surrounds me yet again. I’d forgotten I was freezing while kissing her. “We can’t,” Harper says and pulls her hands back from my chest. “I’m not that girl.” My gaze tightens. “What does that mean?” I’ve never been more confused in my life. “I know what you were doing, Luca. I’m not an idiot. You’re not bedding two girls in one night. Well, not me.” Harper turns and keeps walking, heading down the road, leaving me standing there dumbfounded. Bedding two girls?
