Of course he would be in my first class. Seven hundred people in the school, and I ran into him in yet another embarrassing position.
I could feel Jack’s gaze burning into the back of my neck as I made my way into the classroom. I immediately headed towards the far end of the classroom, but he grabbed my hip in a gentle grip.
“This way,” he murmured, and I was a little afraid he had magical powers because I found myself letting him lead me to a desk in the back like he’d put me in a trance.
Or at the very least a lust trance. His fingers were branding my skin, sending heat shooting through my insides.
I rarely felt attracted to someone, my life was too hard to think about something as petty as that.
But he had me thinking all sorts of things at the moment.
I watched in complete confusion as he unzipped my backpack and pulled out my supplies, setting them neatly on my desk before setting the backpack on the ground. Then he slipped into the desk next to me, shooting me a sexy grin as he did so that zapped my brain.
“What are you doing?” I finally asked.
“I’ve designated myself your new best friend.”
I gaped at him.
“What?”
“I’m assuming you don’t have any other best friends at this school,” he said, his hand reaching out and pushing some hair out of my face like we really had known each other for forever.
“No, I haven’t quite made it that far,” I answered, a smile hitting my lips.
“That’s good, because you should know I take my best friend duties very seriously.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes,” he said, nodding.
“And what does this best friendship come with?” I asked, realizing that I was actually...flirting.
Who even was I right now?
“Let’s see if I can make a little list for you...for starters, lunchtime buddies.”
I nodded. “A good thing since I’d be sitting in the library otherwise.”
“A very good thing,” he said as his fingers danced across my skin. Again.
This guy was very familiar considering he didn’t know me.
Was he like this with all the new girls?
The needy girl inside me soaked up the attention like I was a flower and he was the sun.
“There’s also a guaranteed study buddy. As well as hockey tickets for all my games.”
My eyes went wide at that.
He studied my face, his pupils looking a little blown out and dazed.
“Wow,” he whispered, and I touched my cheek, wondering if I'd somehow gotten ink on myself.
“What?”
“You’re just blowing my mind, pretty girl.”
