“Shut the fuck up, dickhead,” Ford growls, glaring at him.
“That’s enough, Monk. You’ll be pleased to know that you’re needed in the Principal’s Office. Can’t have you feelingleft out,” Mr Langdon retorts sarcastically, before handing Monk over to two big burly men dressed like security guards who’ve managed to creep up on us all. I’ve not seen them around before, but then again, it’s not as if I’ve gone looking.
“See you later, Asia,” Monk says, allowing the men to walk him off the field.
“Not if I see you first,” I retort, letting out a long steady breath. What a dick.
“Are you sure you don’t need to go to medical?” Mr Langdon asks again the moment Monk is out of earshot.
I shake my head. “I’m sure.”
“Then get going. Ten laps.”
Without even waiting for Ford, I start running. I might hate P.E. but that doesn’t mean to say I’m unfit. Running from the police on numerous occasions means I’ve got stamina, and with anger still bubbling inside my chest I need to expend it somehow. Back home, on occasions like this, I’d let off steam by taking off in the middle of the night and finding a blank wall to spray. I guess running around this field a few times will have to do.
Concentrating on keeping a steady pace and schooling my emotions, I chase the group in front of me. Ford catches up and falls into step, his soft breathing the only thing I hear over the pounding of our feet on the track. I don’t speak to him and he doesn’t speak to me. The silence between us does all the talking. When everyone else finishes their ten laps and heads off the field, I keep going. I don’t want to go inside just yet, and despite the sheen of sweat covering my body, and the thirst I’ve got going, I carry on. Ford sticks with me, not letting up.
Glancing at him, I notice that his dark blonde hair is stuck to his head and his white t-shirt has a circle of sweat on the front, sticking it to his chest and defining the muscles beneath the thin material. He catches me looking and I snap my head around, picking up the pace. Suddenly this has become a race that I need to win, and I pump my legs harder, focusing all that pent-up anger.
But like me, Ford has stamina and keeps up stride for stride. After another ten minutes I stop running by a copse of trees at the edge of the track. Leaning over, my hands on my knees, I breathe deeply. Sweat drips from my forehead and down my nose, falling to the floor. I see Ford’s feet just in the periphery of my vision. He’s stopped too, his breathing as ragged as my own.
“Are you done?”
“What do you mean, am I done? Who the hell do you think you are?” I ask, standing upright.
“Has your anger run its course or are you still looking for a fight?” he retorts, running his hand through his hair. It sticks up all over the place, but he still manages to look sexy…sexy? I groan loudly. I really don’t need this shit right now.
“Whether you like it or not, Monk outmatches you. I can help you get the upper hand.”
“I told you I don’t need your kind of help or protection. I can look after myself,” I snap, striding off across the grass.
“Let’s see about that,” I hear him say, and before I can do anything about it, Ford has me pressed beneath him on the ground, the wind knocked out of me. “Just as I thought.” He smirks, but there’s disappointment in his eyes too as though he’d hoped he wouldn’t be able to take me down so easily. I can’t believe the arsehole just jumped me. His strong thighs encase my hips whilst his hands have my arms pulled up above my head. Beneath my tank top, my nipples are embarrassingly hard.
“Get. Off. Me!” I shout the second the shock has worn off and I’m able to think about something other than the fact that he’s straddling me.
“Make me.” His breath tickles against my skin, as he leans over me and brushes his lips against my cheek. When he pulls back, I can see that he’s just as shocked by that action as I am. Shockedandturned on. Or maybe that’s just me?
“You fucking asked for it,” I respond, bucking my hips at the same time I bring up my knee and aim for his crotch. But he’s too quick. Before I can predict his next move, he’s thrown himself to the side, grasped my hips and yanked me on top of him. My pelvis is crushed against his, but before I can break away, Ford wraps his legs around the back of my thighs. If I’m not mistaken, he’s hard. My cheeks flush a deep shade of red. It’s just as well I’m still sweaty and breathless from running, or my reaction to his hard-on would be embarrassing.
“What now?” he murmurs, watching me. His grey-green eyes flick from my mouth to my eyes and back again. I’m so shocked by the fact that I’m as turned on as he is, that I just lie there, spread out over him like some cheap blanket. He grins darkly, goading me with his plumpkissablelips.
Kissable?“Get a fucking grip, Asia,”I tell myself.
“Cat got your tongue?”
“Dickhead,” I mutter, pushing upwards in an attempt to get away from this boy who’s fucking with my head. Except Ford has other ideas. In another ninja move I am pinned beneath him once again. He’s flipped me over so many times that I’m positively dizzy. Between us his dick is pressed firmly against a part of me I wish it wasn’t, given the way it’s making me feel; stupid, brainless,distracted. Holding my breath, I wait for his cheeks to colour as deeply as my own. They don’t. He knows he’s hard and he owns it.
Arrogant…cock. I almost laugh out loud at that thought.
“If you want to survive in this place, you need to learn how to fightproperly,Asia. You might’ve got a few licks in with Monk, but he would’ve wasted you before you could’ve done any real damage.”
“Icanfight,” I retort angrily, twisting beneath him in a pathetic attempt to get away.
Ford laughs, keeping me pinned down with one hand holding my wrists, using his free hand to swipe the sweaty hair off his forehead. “That might be true, but you lack skill, strength andsense. Whether you like it or not your size puts you at a disadvantage. Sometimes rage just isn’t enough.”
“And I suppose if I join your gang, you’ll be the one to teach me?”
He opens his mouth to respond but I cut him off. “I told you I don’t do gangs, and in case you need reminding Icanlook after myself.”
