What the actual fuck, Johnny?
“Can I get you something?” she quickly asked. “What would you like to eat?”
You.
I would like to eat you, Shannon.
“We should probably think about wrapping this up,” I stated gruffly. “It’s getting late.”
I made a big deal of checking my watch only to frown when I realized it actually was getting late.
“Shite,” I muttered. “It’s half six.”
We’d been up in her room for four hours? Where the hell did the time go?
I never missed a meal.
I wasn’t even sore. I couldn’t remember the last time I spent four hours sitting down. It didn’t happen.
Jesus, this girl was making me lose track of everything.
“Um, yeah, sure—of course,” Shannon mumbled, falling over her words in that adorable way she did when she was flustered.
Don’t worry, baby, I thought to myself. I’m flustered too.
“I really appreciate you helping me,” she added, closing her books up and shoving them back in her schoolbag. “You helped me big time.” She blew out a breath before adding, “Again.”
“We can do this again,” I offered. “If you want?”
Her face lit up and she shifted closer to me. “Really?”
I nodded slowly and resisted the urge to reach over and touch her.
“You wouldn’t mind?” Shannon asked, all wide-eyed, as she tentatively shifted closer until her knees were touching my left thigh.
“No, Shannon.” Failing miserably, I reached over and tucked a rogue strand of hair behind her ear. “I wouldn’t mind.”
Stop this, Johnny.
Stop this now!
I tried.
I truly, honest to god, tried to make my body get off her bed, but she was there, she was right fucking there, and I couldn’t find an ounce of resolve inside of me. I just sat there, knowing what was coming, knowing it was the worst possible thing I could allow to happen, and still wanting it more than my next breath.
“Maybe in the library next time,” I finally found the words to say. “Or school.”
Her small heart-shaped face nodded up and down. “Okay.”
“Because I shouldn’t be here,” I added weakly. “In your room.”
“I know,” she replied, voice small and uncertain.
“It’s, uh…” I swallowed deeply. “I should probably go home now.”
“Johnny?” she whispered.
“Yeah?”
