Hello 435 Chapter 435 Chapter 435 "And... hard," I teased, watching Hayden's jaw tighten.
He didn't say a word, but I could feel the tension. His grip loosened on me, but his mood was obvious.
"Seriously, Hayden?" I tugged on his arm, pouting like a pro. "You're not actually mad, right?" "No," he muttered, but his face said, 'absolutely yes.' "Con, you're not the type to get all worked up over something like this, are you?" I tilted my head, trying to figure him out.
"I know exactly what you mean," he said, liftinglike I was nothing and ploppingright onto the hotel room's rocking chair.

He swallowed hard, trying so badly to keep his cool, but the way his body stiffened under my touch? Oh yeah, I had him right where I wanted.
He looked so serious, almost adorable in this new, flustered way. I couldn't help but push more.
"What's wrong? Cat got your tongue?" I smirked, my legs still wrapped around him, shifting just enough to mess with his head.
Hayden still wouldn't give in, but I wasn't letting him off that easy. I pulled him closer, the chair swaying beneath me.
He leaned forward, hands gripping the chair for balance, while I reached up, yanking him down by the collar of his shirt until his face was inches from mine. His breath hitched, and I could feel him starting to crack.
"If you won't say it, I will," I murmured against his ear, feeling his skin heat up. Yeah, I knew exactly what I was doing to him.
He tried to pull back, but I didn't let go, pressing my body closer.
"You're not the type to fuss over details or baby anyone," I said, pausing just long enough to feel the tension in his muscles spike. "That's how you were when I first met you-rough around the edges. And once I get an impression, it sticks. You're my tough guy, Hayden. Always have been." I couldn't see his face, but I felt his body tighten under my hands.
"And as for hard..." My hand trailed down from his chest, gliding lower, teasing. "You wouldn't deny that, would you? Hard enough to-" Before I could finish, the chair rocked beneath us, harder than before. I gasped, and in one quick move, Hayden grabbed the arms of the chair, stopping it, then liftedlike I weighed nothing.

Men-always so composed until you push the right button. Then instincts kick in, and their real side shows. Chapter 435 +25 BONUS I wrapped my arms around his neck and whispered, "No." Hayden gavea deep look. I knew he misunderstood-he thought my "No" meant I was shutting down the whole thing.
"I don't want to go anywhere," I said, smiling up at him, all coy. "I want... it right here." He glanced at the rocking chair, then back at me. "It's too small."
"But it sways," I teased, watching his expression shift. A rare flicker of hire flickerofn unease crossed his face, and I leaned inFelose to his ear. "Might save you swork.
"I don't need saving. But if you want it here, I'll make it happen." His voice was low, full of promise With that, he sat down on the rocking chair, pullingonto his lap. The chair dipped under our weight, swaying gently. We locked eyes, and the heat between us was practically electric. Sometimes, it's the little things-the teasing, the unexpected places-that build the most tension.
His hand slid under my dress, fingers tracing a lazy, torturous path up my yous path thigh. I leaned in my teeth gently catching the buttons of his shirt, tugging them loose, one by one. But just as things were about to get serious, a knock from the room next door snapped us back.
"Nate, you up?" Retta's voice cut through the walls.
Of course, she'd show up just to ruin Lena's night. Chapter 436
