Also, it's a long chapter. ;)

-------

I left Alice and the rest of my friends at the club because, let's be honest, I need some sex. Or at least something to get rid of the tension in my body. Kieran brings out an animal in me too, and I can't seem to tame it.

Kieran and I are both horny and intoxicated, so getting a ride in an Uber and making our way up to the apartment is interesting to say the least. The sexual tension is so high it's unbearable. I think the Uber driver was uncomfortable because he felt it too. We sat far from each other in the car, knowing if we touched it would be even worse, especially for the driver.

I unlock the apartment and step inside, pulling Kieran with me. Sliding the lock in place, I press him against the door, the lioness coming out of me more by the minute.

My hands are on Kieran's chest, running over the abs that I can feel beneath his shirt. I reach my face up to be just close enough to his without touching.

"You are infuriatingly hot; did you know that?" I whisper against his lips.

"Not as hot as you are, Gem." He pushes his mouth against mine with a hunger I didn't think was possible. Our hands search each other's bodies, never feeling enough to satisfy the lust flowing through my veins. Kieran takes control and rolls us around so now I'm against the door. His tongue runs across my lower lip, and I don't let him in, teasing him. I smile and he removes his lips from mine.

"No teasing, you'll regret it." His face is serious, and I sober up for a moment. What does that mean? I don't think I want to find out. Or do I? I pull him to me again, letting him in, his tongue exploring mine. Kieran's hands fall behind my thighs, tugging until I comply and wrap them around his waist.

I feel us moving before I can stop what's happening. He's carrying me. Holy hell.

I try to keep my thoughts on our activities, but I can't help but have a fleeting thought about how much I weigh and how he probably thinks I'm heavy. I think Kieran can tell I'm having this thought because when we get to my room and he kicks the door shut, he doesn't let me go or lay me down on the bed.

He takes his lips off mine again and I groan in dismay, trying not to move too much.

"Stop thinking about how much you weigh. I can easily stand like this with you around me all night. But...I don't really want to because I'd rather have you in that bed." He nods toward the bed behind me. I blush at how well he knows what I'm thinking already. That's scary. I push the thought to the back of my mind.

"Take me there. Now," I demand against his lips. He listens like the good boy he is and lies me down, hovering above me.

I take his leather jacket off without leaving his lips. His shirt comes after, his mouth traveling to my neck making little stops on my skin in-between. I take a moment to explore his chest and stomach with my fingertips. God, he's so good-looking.

I feel a chuckle come from Kieran and I realize that I, once again, said that out loud.

"Oh well, it's true," I say as I continue my perusal and Kieran tugs at my shirt asking for permission to take it off. I give it to him without hesitation. I'm left in my jeans and my black lacey bra. Thank God I wore a cute bra and panty set tonight.

"You're so beautiful, Gem." Kieran touches my stomach softly in all its naked glory, bringing his hands higher to my chest while his face stays near mine. He feels my nipples over my bra. They're already standing to attention. "I love how turned on you are right now," he whispers against my clavicle, moving slowly down.
