Chapter Five

Knox

I watched McKenna sway and twist her hips to the beat of the music She looked beautiful Pink cheeks, soft curves, and waves of shiny hair flowing around her face Her eyes were focused onfor my friendship, I knew she wanted more And somehow I kneouldn’t be hard to talk her into it She felt this intensity between us just like I did

The desire to explore her body, to fk her until she cried outThe more time I spent with her, the more difficult it became to resist her And what scared e to fk other girls evaporated There was only McKenna Her sweet scent, her gentle nature, and her quiet strength tototo push her into the aruy?

I whispered, letting my chin rest on her shoulder

"Fine," she whispered "Just…thinking…"

"Overthinking," I whispered back "You tired?"

She nodded, her cheek resting againstover?"

"Do you want to?"

She hesitated and I spun her in my arms As turned on as I’d been on the dance floor, I wanted her to see that she could trust entleman with her and I wouldn’t betray that trust She’d done toohere and I couldn’t fk this up Not for me and McKenna and not for my brothers either

Brilliant sapphire eyes looked up into ht nod Even if she knew she shouldn’t want this with someone like me – she did That was all the reassurance I needed I wouldn’t lure her intoon her The fact that she was choosing to be hereShe knew my fked up past, and still she was here

I placed a soft kiss on her forehead and gathered up some pajamas for her A pair of a sweatpants and an oversized T-shirt I kneould be huge on her "For you" I left the clothes in her hands and headed into the bathroofor McKenna to do the saether
