No guy has ever looked at me the way Micah has been all day. With reverence. His eyes are filled with lust.
It makes me wonder if he sees the same desires reflected in my own.
After sandwiches are made and devoured, we all pile back into our respective cars. Micah and I are once again situated in the back of Declan’s truck, even though I suggested Kendall sit in back with me. Declan squashed the idea, staking his claim on her, and she didn’t put up a fight. Unless smiling like a love-sick teenager is putting up a fight.
As we pull up to the Palmers’ house, I let out a soft sigh of relief. I need to put some distance between me and Micah. He hasn’t said one word to me all day, yet his presence alone has my mind reeling with naughty ideas. Ones I shouldn’t want to entertain but my imagination continues to defy me.
“You. Me. One night,” he whispers as I turn to get out of the truck.
“Get over yourself,” I state firmly.
I’m surprised the words actually come out because they weren’t what I was thinking. Nope. Not even close.
I wanted to scream, “Yes!”and start stripping right there, begging him to take me.
Whatever’s come over me today is startling. It hasn’t beenthatlong since I’ve gotten laid. Hell, my longest stretch was eighteen months. A year is my average. I shouldn’t be this willing and ready, especially considering who I have my sights set on.
By the time night falls, I’m barely holding it together.
Evie’s been hinting at things, putting ideas in my head.
Micah’s been whispering dirty thoughts in my ear. Telling me exactly what he wants to do to me. Attempting to wear me down.
I’m holding strong, but no amount of alcohol is going to douse the fire burning inside of me. The only thing that will is the one thing I shouldn’t have.
Him.
And he knows it.
He’s been reading my body language all day.
Which is why I situated myself on the other side of Kendall when we sat down to watch the fireworks.
Which is also why he’s pissed off. Because he tried to get me to sit next to him and I denied him.
Which led to him storming off, Declan following, and I’m certain a whole host of other issues will follow.
As long as I stay strong and don’t give in to my growing desires, everything will be fine.
I can ignore this feeling for a few days. I’ll avoid him from sunup to sundown. And when the time comes to call it a night, I’ll just turn my back to him and pretend he’s not there. That I can’t smell his intoxicating cologne.
We’ll part ways on Sunday and life will go back to normal.
Work, study, repeat.
Just the way I like it. Complication free.
The thought makes me sad as I stare up at the lights exploding overhead.
“Those damn boys are so moody,” Kendall says. “What’s wrong with you today?”
“Nothing,” I lie. “He’s just really annoying.”
And bad for my libido.
“Declan will calm him down. He’s not normally like this,” Kendall defends Micah even though she doesn’t have to.
“I know. We’ve met a few times, not that he remembers.”
