Intercepting Love (Second Chances #5)(36)

“Oh yeah, so what was it you wanted to talk to me about? You said it was important. Did you falter on your meds?” she asked quietly.

Taking her hand, I looked down at her and smiled. “No, I think I’m fine with that. I’m pretty sure I can stop taking them now and be okay.”

“Cooper, don’t do that,” she warned. “You may feel great, but you have to do this slowly. Your withdrawal symptoms are minor right now, but if you stop them cold like that your symptoms will be brutal. I’m surprised you’re not having more issues than what you’ve had.”

It’s because I have you, I wanted to say. Being addicted to her was a better drug than any pain killer.

“Actually, I wanted to make sure you were free tomorrow. I have somewhere I have to be and I want you to go.”

“Where?” she asked curiously.

I looked around at everyone close by and knew it would be risky to even mention it. “I can’t tell you here, but as soon as we get you back home I’ll explain. Will you be able to spend the day with me tomorrow?”

Mischievously, she smiled and shrugged her shoulders. “I think I could probably say yes if you tell me what you and Luke were arguing about. It wasn’t about me, was it?”

Sighing, I moved closer and gazed down into her stormy gray eyes. “Not exactly, but if you want the truth I think your name was brought up at least once.”

She groaned and hung her head. “I knew I should’ve just called off the date with him. He’s been my friend for so long, it’s hard to say no to him sometimes. When I was still depressed over everything that happened, he was one of the people I could always count on to bring a smile to my face.”

“You don’t have to explain it to me; I understand,” I told her. “But you’re not planning on anymore dates with him, are you?”

Shaking her head, she laughed and reached for my hands. “No, no more dates. I wouldn’t exactly call what we’re doing a date either. I think he knows it’s a losing battle.”

I wasn’t too sure of that.

“Do you think we’ll get in trouble if I kiss you right now?” I asked huskily.

She bit her lip and peered at everyone all around us. Luke wasn’t in sight, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t watching. “Probably, so we might want to be careful what we do out here in front of everyone.”

Lifting my hands to her cheeks, I swept her golden blonde hair away from her shoulders and smirked. The strapless, white sundress she wore showed off her bare shoulders and it just so happened that she still had a few bite marks on her skin from last night. I smoothed my fingers over them and a raspy moan escaped her lips. My cock got hard just listening to it; it brought back memories of the night before.

“I see you found the marks you left behind last night,” she teased.

“They look good on you. How about I put a little more?”

Lifting up on her toes, she put her hands on my shoulders and rubbed her body against my dick while whispering into my ear, “Follow me then.”





The moment Cooper’s eyes found me, I knew … I could feel it. When I turned around and saw him walking toward me—his blue eyes focused solely on me with a smirk on his face, dressed in a pair of jeans and a black T-shirt—I knew I was going to be in some trouble. My insides lit up like fire and immediately my clit throbbed in remembrance of last night. He said he was addicted to me, but I had a feeling I was slowly growing addicted to him. That had never happened to me before.

I had no idea Cooper could surprise me anymore than he already had. Not bringing Lindsey to the party because of me was something I didn’t expect. If anything, I figured he’d want to bring her since I was there with another man. You would think most guys would do that … but not him. Luke would have, though. That was what made Cooper different from the rest. All of my preconceived notions about what he was like from the newspapers weren’t what he was like at all.

When we got inside of the house, it was pretty much vacant except for a few people here and there. No one noticed me and Cooper sneaking off down the long hallway. As soon as we were out of sight, Cooper trapped me against the wall and quickly lowered his lips to mine, hard and aggressive.

“I wanted to do this the moment I saw you tonight,” he growled, biting my lip. His hands came around my back and grabbed my ass underneath my dress, squeezing it tight.

“We can’t do it here,” I exclaimed. “We’re almost there.”

I wasn’t about to take him to one of the bedrooms because that would be the first place someone would look. Instead, there was a room at the far end of the house that hadn’t been finished yet. My brother didn’t know what to do with it, so he kept it empty until he decided.

When we got into the room, I shut the door and looked around. Yep, it was still the same; empty with cream colored walls and beige carpet. Once I locked the door that was all it took for Cooper to descend on me again. “We probably need to do this quick,” I advised.

With my arms around his shoulders, Cooper picked me up in his arms and I straddled his waist before he pushed me against the wall. “Trust me, love. I can do this hard and quick.”

Once his jeans fell to the floor, he grabbed the backs of my thighs and slid my underwear over so he could slip a finger inside of me; he moaned in delight.
