“Why do you think all the single teachers are always talking about him? He’s like a freaking unicorn no one can catch. Not even for a fast fuck.” Apple wiggles her eyebrows.
I get up and go into the kitchen, trying to clean myself up. Apple appears moments later.
“Listen,” she says, putting her hand on her hip. “Don’t freak yourself out. Look at the facts. He’s never seen out with a woman, and now he’s asking you to go out on a very public date. Not only that, everyone has been whispering about how he’s always looking at you. Something he’s never done with anyone else. Just you. All this shows me is he really wants you. This isn’t a game. He’s more than into you.” She takes a step closer, handing me my refilled glass of wine. “And after what I’ve seen today, that date will be happening one way or another. Drink your wine and let’s think on what kickass dress you’re going to wear tomorrow.”
I take a big gulp, knowing she’s right. I could tell today Reese is going to have me. It’s just a matter of how long it will take.
Chapter Four
REESE
I walk into the school gym and look around, searching for her. This day has felt like an eternity, and I know I can’t wait another second to get my eyes on her. Touch her. Finally know how soft her lips are.
The room has been transformed into a castle like mansion, complete with people who have been hired to perform tricks. The school goes over the top every year, but always raises a lot of money for charity with the event. Looking around the space, I see students, parents, and teachers playing games and dancing.
Scott tugs on my hand and points, and I follow his line of sight. Kim and Eric come up on his other side, and they see our exchange.
“Come on, Scott. Let’s go see if your dad will buy us some cotton candy.” Kim winks at me and they all step away. Scott is full-out grinning. He’s been my little wingman through all of this.
I scan the crowd again and spot the red and black. Of course Charity is wearing a in a dress that molds to her delectable curves. It’s got little hearts on it. I smile to myself as I walk over and look her up and down. The dress really does show off her lush full curves in all the right places and makes my mouth water. Her hair is down, and the soft waves frame her face. She’s got her glasses on looking more like a sexy librarian. The woman is a every man’s sweet wet dream, and I’m having a hard time walking a straight line to her.
I don’t know how I'm going to keep it together. My guess is I’m not going to be able to. I’ve wanted her for too long, and all this need is pushing forward, finally wanting out, and it’s going to take all my control not to take her on the nearest surface and finally find out just how sweet she really tastes.
She finally sees me and her mouth opens a little in shock before her full lips form a perfect little O. She looks me up and down, and then a smile pulls at her mouth.
“Don’t we make a pair,” I say, opening my arms a little.
I see her cheeks blush as she takes in my dark suit with the red tie that matches her dress perfectly. I’d noticed over the last few months she always favors red. I thought a red tie was a safe bet.
“You have any idea how sexy you look tonight?” I ask.
She blushes and bites her lip. The move is so innocent and sweet. I take a few steps forward, and she mirrors my move, stepping back farther into the dark corner. Whoever she was talking to earlier has stepped away, and now we have this private area all to ourselves.
There’s a wooden structure that’s been built for the event right beside us, and it’s perfect for what I want. I just need a taste. A small one, I lie to myself. A small anything with her will never do, but I still can’t stop myself. I reach out, taking Charity’s hand and pulling her back behind the structure. It offers us even more privacy, which is what I desperately need with her right now.
“Reese?” She says my name in a questioning tone, but there’s also a hint of excitement there. I can see it in her eyes. I’m starting to see I’ll have to push her a little. She needs it. And from her voice, I think she desires it, too.
Once we are hidden, I press her back softly against the wall and stand in front of her, shielding her from view if anyone happened to walk back here.
