"Or we could sit like this with significantly less clothingnow."

"You want me to strip in a parking lot?"

"The windows are tinted enough that no one can see inside." He used his grip on my ass to move me just a little, grinding me against his erection.

"What do you propose?" I breathed.

"You ride my fingers here, and now."

"Sounds scandalous."

"Scandals are fun." He rocked me against his erection again.

"I have a counteroffer." I was on edge, and too off my game to suppress my thoughts on the subject at the moment.

"I'm listening."

"I could rideyou."

A tense moment of silence passed.

"You've been dodging sex, Dare. You haven't even given me a reason for it. All we do is foreplay."

He let out a harsh breath. "Your first time needs to be perfect. I haven't come up with a good enough idea yet."

"What if I don't want it to be perfect?" I buried my fingers in his hair, and he closed his eyes as I tugged lightly on the strands. "What if I want to get it over with in this car, right now?"

"You're not getting sexover with."

"Why not? It's looming over us, and I'm tired of it. I just want you to fuck me."

"We're mates, Rae. I'm not giving you a quick fuck in this car for your first time."

"Fine." I opened the car door, feeling more than a little rejected.

He gripped me tighter, holding me where I was.

"I'm going to drive out to my old apartment to grab the rest of my stuff. I'll be back tonight. We can share the bed again, so your magic isn't too difficult to deal with."

"I'll go with you."

"I want to be alone right now, but thanks for the offer."

"You don't want to be alone." His voice strained. "You just fucking propositioned me."

"I changed my mind." I used my shadows to push his hands off my ass and slipped off his lap quickly. "See you tonight."

Dare stood up, stepping out of the vehicle but not following me.

I waved over my shoulder, fighting off emotions I didn't recognize or have labels for. "See you tonight."

Packing my shit would be a good way to ignore them.

DARIUS

My raginguncertainty kept my typical apathy at bay as I watched my mate peel out of the parking lot in one of my vehicles.
