“Thank you,” she whispers, looking up from underneath her lashes, and suddenly I can’t hold back.
Fuck her being too good for me and fuck what everyone else might say. Having her crushed against me all day long, then against my chest now, a man can only take so much. I’ve finally reached my breaking point where Bailey is concerned. I’ve wanted her and been obsessed with her most of my life, the hell with the consequences. I reach up, tangling my hands at the nape of her neck, and pull her head to mine, slamming my mouth down hard on hers.
Fucking hell, colors explode behind my eyes at the first taste of her, and I know in that moment I’ll never get enough. There’s no way I’ll ever be able to let this woman go. Never. She’s mine, and I’ll do whatever I have to do to prove I can be a good enough man for her. I also know I’ll never live up to that, but I’ll work every day of my life to at least be close.
Bailey moans against my mouth, and I know if I don’t stop now, we’ll get carried away. I don’t want her doing anything that she might regret later. So, with every bit of strength I have left, I pull away, resting my forehead against hers as we both try to catch our breath.
“Wow,” she mutters, eyes still closed.
“Here,” I tell her, pulling off my leather jacket. My brothers and I have matching ones with a “rejected” logo on the back Griffin designed years ago. We all wear and cherish these jackets, but something about this girl is special, and I want her covered in me somehow, even when I’m not around. I know she’s probably used to seeing girls with their boyfriend’s letterman jackets, but that’s never been nor never will be me. Still, I hope she cherishes it because it means more to me than she will ever know. It’s a part of my brothers, something only we share, but I want to share with her as well.
“I’ll meet you here in the morning before class, yeah?” I ask, not knowing how I will get a wink of fucking sleep without her in my arms tonight. I need to remind myself that even though I’ve loved her most of my life, it’s too soon for her. No matter how Bailey might feel about me, I’ll get her to my way of thinking and feeling. It’s going to be fun with all the ways I have planned to show and convince her.
“Yeah, Alec,” she says with a twinkle in her eyes, giving me a soft smile. I love hearing my name on her lips. It’s the sexiest sound in the fucking world. She gives me one last small peck on the lips before turning and hopping into her car.
I stand in that same spot, watching her crank her engine, then slowly pull out of the school lot. I climb on my bike and head toward the hangout only when her taillights are completely out of sight. I’ve never been more ready for the morning to come. The sooner I get to sleep, the sooner she’ll be back in my arms.
