drew
his eyebrows together looking confused. ”Besides they live across
the hall, I live on my own. I thought you weren't worried about
Gage finding out."
    I shook my
head and replied, "Oh, I just assumed you lived with them. But this
isn't about Gage, it's about Trent. We have a history and he still
seems a little stuck on me. I didn't want things to be weird if we
walked in and he was sitting there."
    Larkin gave me
a crooked smile, shaking his head before opening his door and
leading me inside. Once he shut the door he had me pinned to the
wall, one hand on either side of my face and saying, "Well then
country, I guess it's a damn good thing I live alone." He lowered
his lips to mine, his kiss started slow, but turned ravenous within
seconds. He picked me up, I wrapped my legs around his waist and he
carried me to his room.

CHAPTER 6
    He dropped me
on the bed and lowered himself so he was mere inches above me, just
watching. He was making me so nervous, I wasn't sure what to do so
I slowly tried turning my face. He grabbed it with both hands and
held it in place. I looked into his eyes. His eyes were not just an
intense dark brown, but they had black rings and tiny gold flecks,
giving me the feeling he could see right through me.
    Larkin gave me
a soft chaste kiss. "Your eyes are mesmerizing. At first I thought
they were blue then I thought green but they are the most stunning
teal I have ever seen."
    "Thanks." What
the hell could I say to that?
    Lowering his
mouth to mine again our kiss was hot from the start. I felt him
running his tongue across my bottom lip before he drew it into his
mouth to nibble and suck on it. When he let go, I opened my mouth
slightly and he took full advantage. His tongue invaded my mouth
and explored like he knew exactly what he was searching for. That
boy had mad kissing skills, his tongue ring didn't hurt.
    He pulled
away, both of us panting and scrambling to breathe. "Let's get you
out of this." Larkin started pulling the hem of my dress up. When I
felt his hands skimming across my lower belly, I couldn't help the
little moan that escaped my lips. Larkin took his sweet time
pulling my dress up and over my head. I felt his eyes on me the
entire time. When he finally threw it to the floor he dipped his
head and kissed the tattoo I had on my hip bone. He moved his lips
up to kiss the one I had running along my ribs. "Damn, those are
sexy." He ran his hand along my ribs, causing my body to buck a
little, "What does this one mean?" he asked as he continued rubbing
my ribs.
    Only Gage knew
the true meaning of that tattoo, not even my parents knew what it
said. I had told them it was Arabic for living life and being happy
or some random shit like that. I closed my eyes and when I opened
them, Larkin was studying me. "I got it when I was seventeen. It's
Arabic just to remind me of my past and to never let anyone get too
close. They’ll just hurt you in the end.”
    Larkin knitted
his brows before smiling. "I couldn't agree more. What about this?
Why an anchor on your hip?"
    I tried not to
sigh. I hated playing twenty questions, but I also knew Larkin
would most likely be in my life for a while, at least during
football season. Might as well get it over with now. I stated, "It
symbolizes that I refuse to sink, no matter what happens I am
strong enough to put on a smile on forge through. Nothing can bring
me down."
    "Wow. Mind my
asking why you got those?"
    I ran my hand
through Larkin's hair. "I don't really talk about my past, it's
done and over with. No use in bringing it up." I shrugged my
shoulders and tried to look away.
    "Jenna, I like
you. Pretty sure that much is obvious but I understand. My past
isn't something I like talking about, either," Larkin said as his
eyes grew darker, if that was possible, and I swear I saw pain
flash across them. But as quick as I saw it, it was gone and he was
smiling. "Any more ink?"
    I smiled back
and nodded. "Yes sir. I'm surprised you didn't see my back
