When it comes to girls, twenty-five-year old Leo Tate has one

Welcome to Briarcrest Academy…where sometimes, the best things in life
are...
Very Bad
Things.

The Kiss in the Library
“I got one last request, and I’ll never
ask again,” Leo said.
“What?” I croaked out.
He set his books on a shelf and then
took mine and set them beside his. He tugged me to him until our chests were
touching.
“What are you doing?” I mumbled in
confusion.
He put his hands on either side of my
face and slid them into my hair, letting out a breath as if in relief. “Just
saying goodbye, Nora.”
“You’re going to kiss me?” I asked,
tears pricking my eyes at the sadness in his face.
“Please, just this last time,
Buttercup,” he said.
And with that one word, I was his.
He lowered his head, his gaze holding
me captive. When our lips touched, his heated eyes stayed open and mine did,
too. My mouth melted into his, moaning as his hot tongue explored the details
of my tongue, my teeth, my lips. We started slow but it escalated rapidly, the
passion between us burning higher and higher. He owned me with his mouth, and I
was lost.
I palmed his ass, grinding myself
against him. He hissed at the increased pressure and pushed me back against the
sturdy bookshelf, positioning me so his hips fit into my pelvis. I lifted one
of my legs, and he caught it and wrapped it around him.
“Say my name,” he muttered gruffly as I
sucked hard at his neck. He grunted, and I dug my nails into his back as I
kissed my way around his collarbone, sucking another spot.
“Say
it, Nora.”
“Leo, Leo, Leo,” I pleaded, arching my
back and pushing into him.
He shuddered. “Fucking love that,” he
whispered.
He placed his lips back on mine, dominating my
mouth, like a man starved. All I could think about was him, him,
him . . . his lips, his tongue, his taste, his butterscotch
smell. I wanted all of him, and I’d never have him, and that thought made me
frantic. I gripped him tighter, pushed my nails deeper, and kissed him harder.
I never wanted to say goodbye.
