“She really loves you.” He states, not acknowledging that he just snuck up on me again. I raise a brow and fold my arms.
“Of course, she does, she isn't stupid like some people I know.”
The words are out of my mouth before I can take them back, my eyes go big. Oh fuck, damn my temper is going to get the best of me one of these days. He folds his arms and I bite my lip as I see his huge arms flex as he does. God! I want so badly to feel those strong arms around me. I expect him to say something, well, actually it's more of a hope. A hope that is slowly dying each time he tells me that we can’t be together. We stand there for a few seconds just staring at each other when he doesn't say anything I shake my head.
“I gotta go, I’ll be late tonight. Don't wait up.” I say as I make my way around him and head for the open door.
“Wait!” He says and lightly grabs my arm. I turn to look up at him.
“What?” I meant it to come out strong and confident, but it comes out shaky at the feeling of his hand on my skin.
“Why are you going to be late?”
“Why does it matter? You don’t have work, I will be home tonight and be ready to take Vic to school in the morning.”
“Verity.” Hell, I love when his voice goes all deep like that. A shiver runs through my body as I picture him using that voice as I am bent over his knee, his hand on my ass. My pussy floods at the thought of his big hands all over me. I feel myself flush, I might be a virgin but that doesn't mean I don't know what I want in the bedroom. My daydream is interrupted when he clears his throat and moves his hand away.
“Why are you going to be late?” I don't know why the words come out but something in me must have snapped.
“I am going on a date,” I state matter-of-factly. I have no intention of actually going on a date because for some reason I'm in love with this big oaf, but he doesn't need to know that and technically I'm not lying I mean if you call going to study with Trinity a date then sure I’m going on a date. His eyes flash and his nostrils flare, “What?” He growls out as he stalks towards me. I don't move, just jut my chin out and stand my ground.
“You heard me. You don’t want me, and I am tired of pinning after you like a lost little puppy. If you don’t want me, I will find someone who does.”
Chapter Two
Donnie
The hell she is going on a date, I will kill any man who tries to touch what’s mine. Some men say that but in truth, they will most likely just kick someone's ass. When I say it, I mean it? I walk up to her until we are almost touching. Fuck, she smells like peaches and sin and the way she just sticks out her chin at me, not backing down has me wanting to pull her flat against my body and devour that sassy mouth of hers before turning her around and spanking her little ass for tempting me.
Ever since she walked in my front door last year, I have been in a constant state of arousal. Her luscious body would bring any man to his knees and her fiery temper has me rock hard. I want her like my next breath, but she is too young. too innocent, and way too sweet to be with a man like me. Be with a man that wants to do such filthy things to her tempting body.
At first, I thought that my attraction to Verity was just because of her amazing body but over time the lust turned into love. I fell in love with the small things. The way she laughs at her own jokes, her ability to find joy in the little things. How she seems to put everyone else first. The way she seems to know just what to say when I have had a hard day at work. Most of all is the way she is with Victoria. She treats her like she is her own. My baby girl loves her as much as I do.
I’ve spent the last year thinking that I can't risk losing her. I need her in my life too much to risk losing it all if we didn't work out. I would rather love her from afar then lose her altogether. Simply accepting the fact that I could settle for friendship, now none of that seems to matter. I didn't claim her and now she is going out with another man. As if there is a magnetic pull between us she leans in closer to me and licks her lips. When she feels my hard length against her soft stomach, she gasps.
