Excerpt
The time came around nine oāclock when weād all stuffed ourselves. Abby stood up from the table, a little wobbly. I swooped in, waiting for her to decide it was time to go.
āCome on. Iāll take you home,ā I murmured, taking her by the elbow. She looked up at me.
āNo,ā she murmured.
āWhat?ā
āNo. I donāt want you to take me home. Now will you move?ā
āWait. Slow down.ā
āI want somebody else, Max. Now move.ā
āWho?ā
āAnybody. It doesnāt matter. Just not you.ā She shook me offāthank God weād both been whispering, or practically, because it didnāt seem like anybody else noticed. I followed her out the door to the restaurantās entrance.
āYou canāt drive in this condition,ā I warned her.
āThen Iāll get a cab. You can leave now.ā She glared at me, her cheeks flushed.
āWhat?ā
āYou ruined it. You always ruin it.ā
āHow the hell did I ruin anything?ā
She looked back into the restaurant, frowning. āI was having fun. People were talking to me, seeing me, liking me. And you had to take over like you always do.ā
My car pulled up in front of us, and I took the keys from the valet. āCome on. Iāll drive you home, and we can talk about it on the way.ā I practically threw her into the car before she could curse me out, then got in myself. Once I locked the doors from my side, she couldnāt open them.
āWhat the fuck Max!ā She slapped the dashboard, then sank into her seat with a groan. āI was having fun. I was about to get laid, damn it!ā
I bit my tongue until I calmed down. āBy whom?ā
āI donāt know! What did it matter? I was gonna get some for me, for once. And you wonāt let me. I have to always be there for you, but you can never be there for me. You couldnāt just let me enjoy myself. No, you probably wanted to tell me all about your stupid fucking cheerleader girlfriend and ask me what you should do about her!ā There was so much venom in her voice. She hated me.
I pulled over to the shoulder of the road. āWhat are you doing?ā she asked. I unbuckled my belt without saying a word, then turned to her.
āYou wanna know why I wanted to take you home?ā I reached out, grabbing her by the shoulders. I pulled her to me before she could push me away and crushed my mouth against hers.
She only fought me for a split second before giving in. She sighed, relaxing, and I wrapped my arms around her. Her lips were so sweet, soft and yielding. When I slid my tongue between them, they opened to give me better access. I tasted the inside of her mouth, taking my time. This girl who had been my friend for so long, and she was rightāIād used her in a way. This girl who was always there for me without asking anything in return. This sexy, incredible girl.
The kiss deepened, with her tongue dancing alongside mine. She wrapped her arms around my neck, almost growling. Sounding hungry, desperate. I ran one of my hands over her body, listening to the way the breath caught in her throat. She whined a little, pressing against me, and when I made contact with her tits she moaned into my mouth.
By the time the kiss ended, we were both breathless. Her eyes were wide, stunned.
āCome on. Iāll take you home,ā I murmured, taking her by the elbow. She looked up at me.
āNo,ā she murmured.
āWhat?ā
āNo. I donāt want you to take me home. Now will you move?ā
āWait. Slow down.ā
