My breath got shaky the farther up my hand went, and I instantly wondered if she’d be okay with being fashionably late. How much did they actually teach on the first day anyway? But before I could convince Kiera to play with me a little before we left, she stepped away from my touch. Face firm, she pointed at the bed again, commanding me to stay back in an adorable way. “I don’t need to get you any more riled up than you constantly are by giving you a peep show.”

She began sliding on her jeans, and with a laugh, I relaxed back on the mattress. I supposed she did have a point. After all, I’d already imagined making her very, very late. But still, fair was fair, and she constantly gawked at me. If she was going to deny me eye-candy, then it was only right if I did the same. Wouldn’t want her…riled up. “Fine. I’ll just remember that the next time you’re staring at my body.”

Kiera had been digging through her bag for her shirt when I said that. Pausing, she twisted to look at me. Curious what she would do, I kept my expression completely blank. She stared at me a moment longer, then sighed and dropped the towel. Most of her was covered up, but I didn’t care—that wasn’t really the point. She’d caved because she didn’t want me to take my body away from her. Well, and maybe I’d guilted her into it…but I preferred to think that she didn’t want me becoming all shy and modest around her. Just like I didn’t want her shy and modest around me. She was perfect, and there was nothing that she needed to hide from me.

Looking away, Kiera let me leer at her for quite a while. During those long seconds, I pictured removing her cream-colored bra, sucking her nipple into my mouth. I could almost hear the groan she would make as she begged me to make love to her. Desire surged through me, and I instantly began to harden.

And that was when Kiera decided the show was over, and hastily pulled on her shirt and buttoned it up. Not able to get the image of her pristine skin out of my head, I was still staring at her chest when she finished. She had to clear her throat to break my concentration.

Lifting my eyes to hers, I gave her a mischievous grin. “Well, now I’m turned on, and you can’t go. You’re just going to have to stay here with me today.”
