CONSUME ME

JOSH STILL IN THE PAST

The silence between us stretched, awkward and loaded, as Laura cradled the mug in her hands. She wasn't saying anything, just looking at me with those eyes-so damn expressive it was like she could see straight through me. I could feel the words hovering in the air, the ones I wanted to say but couldn't quite find.

But I didn't let her finish. I turned, dumped the steaming tea into the sink with one swift motion, and slammed the mug down on the counter. "It was shit, actually," I said, my voice rough.

Laura blinked at me, her lips parting as if to protest, but I didn't give her the chance. I didn't have it in me to hold back any longer.

I closed the space between us in two quick strides, my hands finding her waist as I pulled her flush against me. She fit perfectly-right where she belonged-and every possessive nerve ending in my body screamed for her to be closer. "Josh-" she started, her voice barely audible.

But I didn't let her finish that, either. My mouth crashed into hers, rough and demanding, all the restraint I'd been clinging to snapping like a frayed wire. This wasn't soft or tentative-I couldn't be soft, not when I'd been starving for her like this.
