Forbidden Attraction (Forbidden Trilogy) by S.R. Watson

you.”
    “You want to get to know me?”
    This was a mistake. “I am sorry I wasted your time Grayson, but I can’t do this.” I get up from my seat, but he’s on me quickly. He pulls me to his chest and the smell of his cologne makes me weak.
     
    “Okay, let’s compromise. We’ll date and get to know one another, but with the understanding that this will eventually end. We’ll find places to go outside the city to keep from running into anyone from the university, but there will be no bouts of jealousy or happily ever after. We’ll be exclusive, and you can’t tell anyone about our arrangement.”
    “I have one exception. I have to be able to tell my roommate Jordan.”
    “Absolutely not! Are you insane?”
    “This is a deal breaker for me. Jordan is my best friend—my family. She could have gone to any college she wanted, but she came here to follow ... ” I realized I’ve said too much.
    “Liam,” he finishes angrily.
    I nod and continue before I lose my nerve. “We tell each other everything. She would never hurt me by outing our arrangement. I can’t sneak around or lie to her about where I’m going or whom I’m meeting. I owe her more than that.”
    He is quiet and brooding for a long time. “Fine,” he says finally. “With that in mind, I want you to stay here with me Friday evenings through Sunday. We won’t see each other outside of class during the week so I want total access to you on the weekends unless some unavoidable engagement comes up. You’ll have your own room to keep from blurring the lines.”
    I skip over the own room bit because it’s too disappointing. “Why won’t we see each other during the week?”
    “You will use that time to study and handle all your commitments before seeing me on the weekend.” A mischievous grin crosses his lips before he continues. “Be warned that I like complete control. When you cross my threshold Friday evening, you are mine to do what I please. You will always have an option to say no, but you will not want to. Your week will be your only reprieve from my sexual appetite.”
     
    Wow. I know I should be alarmed that this man wants to control me, but I’m turned on as evidenced by the wetness that’s soaking through my panties. Liam never took control in the bedroom. Sex was routine. “You’re into BSDM?”
    “I like some kink with my sex, but mostly I’m going to be in control of your pleasure. I will introduce you to things you never knew you wanted.”
    Now might be good time to let him know that I’m not as sexually advanced as he is. “Um ... I’ve only been with Liam and we haven’t explored many sexual acts,” I say nervously. I fidget with my hands and look down at the floor. I’m embarrassed that I have to say this as a twenty-one-year-old.
    “What haven’t you done?”
    “The list would be shorter if I told you what we have done.” I know my fair skin is the same color as my hair at this point. I can’t believe I’m sharing my sexual history with him. “We waited until my freshman year of college to have sex for the first time and have only done it missionary.”
    “What,” he shouts. “Are you fucking kidding me right now?”
    I flinch at the incredibility in his voice. “I think we waited long enough that he saw me as sexually inhibited and was scared to try anything with me, because he’s definitely making up for lost time now with someone else,” I say sadly.
    “Sorry. I didn’t mean to scream. It’s just God, baby, your body is made for sin. How can any heterosexual male not want to explore your body relentlessly? So no oral sex either?”
     
    Heat flushes my cheeks at his crassness. “No.”
    “Damn. Looks like I am going to be your teacher on a whole different level. Let the depravity begin,” he smiles.
    “Okay,” I reply shyly. I’ve just agreed to this casual arrangement. I hope I don’t regret it.
    The words are barely out of my mouth before Grayson is pulling me into the house.
