She gasps as my hand runs along her beautiful curves. "Tell me you feel it too. This attraction. This need I have for you. Not being able to get you out of my head." I press my forehead against hers. "Not being able to touch myself without the thought of you. Not being able to kiss any other woman unless it's you." I pant. "Spencer you know we can't. We can't no matter how much I want to. I hate you Spencer. I have to hate you." "Well I want to taste you." This is Book 3 of the Sawyer brother collection!!
