Cupid's Mistake

CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE

As we were walking out, a few of the couples caught up to us and asked for photos with me. I complied happily, feeling back to myself for the first time in a week. We said goodbye to the couples when they thanked us and went on their way.

"Hungry?" I asked, realizing we hadn't eaten in a couple hours. I hadn't eaten since the beginning of work.

"I could eat." Liam said and took my hand in his again. I didn't mind his warmth, so I left it.

We had only been standing outside for 2 minutes when Liam's car pulled up besides us.

"Where would you like to eat?" Liam asked and opened the door for me.

"I could make us something," I said in a hushed tone.

"Sure," Liam smiled, but I could see the confusion in his eyes. I giggled and told the driver, who was still wearing that suit my address.

"Oh," Liam smiled. "You meant at your place." He grinned.

"Is that okay?" I asked, feeling suddenly nervous.

"Yeah, that's perfect." He nodded and sat quietly with me for the rest of the ride.

"Thank you," I mumbled to the driver as we got out onto the curb before my apartment.

Liam allowed me to lead the way to my apartment and into the kitchen. I started pulling out ingredients for our meal.

"What are you making?" I smiled down at my assortment of foods.

"I'm thinking shrimp and pineapple rice." Liam pulled a face, but quickly looked away.

"Pineapple?" He asked curiously. I laughed and turned to put the pineapple away.

"Maybe another time, this is a recipe my mom used to make, but I can take the pineapple out." I accommodated him, but it reminded me all too well of Devin and my love for pineapple pizza. I sighed and continued cooking. It didn't take too long, and by the time I was finished, Liam had already picked out a movie for us to watch.

"Ready?" He asked with a smile. I nodded and dished out our plates. I joined him on the couch, watching the movie and eating our dinner. After we both finished, he set out plates to the side and pulled me to lean further into him. His arm had moved across my back, gently massaging before wrapping around me and squeezing. I hummed, still keeping my attention on the movie. His arm gradually moved from my shoulder down my arm before jumping to my waist.

"Is this okay?" He asked while gently pulling me even closer than before. I turned my attention away from the movie and really looked at him. His broad nose and curly blonde hair that he had let go. It was almost to his shoulders now, not that I minded. He looked so warm and inviting. He leaned in slightly, inviting my lips to his. I leaned in the rest of the way and gently pressed my lips against his. They touched momentarily before I drew away slightly. We were both still breathing heavily when Liam lurched forward and pressed his lips against mine in a hard kiss. I gasped and moved my lips in sync with his. We adjusted ourselves so I was pressed against his side, with hum turned toward me. He roughly grasped my thigh and swung me to sit in his lap. I giggled as he swung me around, feeling weightless to his desire. His hand moved up my thigh and to the button on my jeans. He popped it open and unzipped them. I pulled away and stared deeply into his eyes while his hands worked.

"You're so beautiful. I'm so lucky to have you." I gulped, not knowing exactly to respond. Was I his? I nodded and reconnected our lips, distracting myself from his words.

He wiggled my jeans down until they couldn't move any farther due to my legs being spread around his body. I groaned when he grasped my thigh in his large hand. It covered the entire front of my leg and his thumb left red prints on my inter thigh.
