Captain by sophoood?" I asked I’d never seen Madoc play soccer

"No, he’s just that connected," he shot back "Madoc doesn’t have to earn a whole lot on his own"

My hard eyes fell, and I was a little pissed

I could say Madoc was an entitled little prince with the hard path of life freshly paved for him, but for some reason, I felt the need to defend hi cars instead He worked hard, read a lot, and tinkered for hours to learn his way around a garage Madoc put in the s ahen he didn’t

His naotten him on the team, but he wouldn’t play if he didn’t want to And he wouldn’t play if he didn’t knoas an asset

Aidan’s fingers were slipping in and out of the rips inmy skin as he pressed himself into me more closely

"I should probably get go--" I started to tell hiainst a wall

Aidan looked directly behindMadoc’s voice as he ca around, I looked up at hi bullets at Aidan

Oh, no This was a zero to sixty moment with Madoc, but we had skipped the zero part

Aidan took his hands off my waist "Hey, ain, and I’ll chop off your hand" He said it soturned shallow, but my temper rose

No, no, no

Aidan rolled his eyes and backed off, probably figuring it wasn’t worth the fight Madoc looked ready to draw blood

I baredand pressing against my skull I was ready to explode

"Madoc" I clenched my teeth

"Just shut up," he ordered, breathless "Just shut up, and dance withatin ure out what the hell was going on and barely noticed hirippedht in front of my eyes, and I slowly looked up at hi was still except for our feet thatabout him, the shade of his eyes, the muscles I felt under his shirt, the way I already kne his bodyabout hi he’d stop touchingI could pull away In another minute I would In another minute I’d be satisfied with the warain

Looking at him, I tried to keep the shakiness out of my voice "You have someone here with you, Madoc," I said quietly "Why are you dancing withthe side of ers into the back ofquestions," he spat out, an angry tone to his voice

And jerking my body into his, he slammed his mouth down on mine

Madoc? I didn’t say his naroaned it, but otherwise I instantly stilled

And then I was his

A shudder ran through s iry

He sucked in a breath and whispered, "Because I like the way you taste, okay?"

Hisit with heat and command like he knew exactly how my body worked and what it needed

Hell, yes

I pushed into hi him back as his arm wrapped around my waist and pulled ers across the back of his neck andhioing in deep, his tongue workingHe devoured me He drew my bottom lip between his teeth, and a ainst the sweet pain

Not that it hurt at all Just kissing hi him was too much It was like an overload on ers dug into h his jeans

God, what are we doing? We were on a crowded dance floor He had a girl with hi not to watch or had left already Openingus though The couples around us were focused on themselves

"Madoc," I barely spoke,

"I want to be inside you," he groaned, and I thought back to our night at the skate park in the rain "But" He straightened up and dropped his hands, "I’ to"

His voice was flat, void of any of the heat that was there just a o
