He arched an eyebrow with an amused expression on his handsome face.
“I just meant”—I stupidly shook my head—“I thought you’d be a girl.”
“I hate to disappoint you, kitten.” He mischievously grinned. “But I’m all man.”
His smile was contagious. I couldn’t help but return the sentiment. We stood there for a few seconds, neither one of us saying a word. His inquisitive regard didn’t falter. Although his eyes didn’t move from my face, I still felt his stare on every inch of my body. So much so that I was the first to look away.
Bowing my head for a moment, I swept a strand of my hair behind my ear, pitifully trying to break the unexpected tension between us.
Unable to remain silent any longer, I questioned, “Where should we start the tour then?”
I never expected him to reply, “How about in my bed?”
My eyes widened as I jerked back. “Excuse me?”
He chuckled. “Oh, kitten, you should have seen your face. Are you always this entertaining?”
I was about to respond, but he did yet another thing that completely caught me off guard. He grabbed my hand.
“What are you—”
“You’ll see.” With that, he began walking, pulling me close behind him as I tried to keep up with his long strides.
The only thing I could contemplate was how much bigger his hand was in comparison to mine. It didn’t take long until he was taking me into an empty classroom. In one quick movement, he let go of my hand, closed the doo,r and leaned against it with his arms crossed over his chest.
What was happening?
“Are you scared, kitten?”
My eyes snapped to meet his.
Was I scared?
Yes.
No.
Maybe?
As if reading my mind, he threatened, “You should be.”
Instinctively, I stepped back as he pushed off the door. With each of my backward steps, he met my stride. Stepping forward as I stepped back.
I swallowed hard, trying to remain calm in a situation I wasn’t prepared for.
I did the only thing that came to mind, stating, “I think we’re late for class.”
“And she finally speaks.”
Another step back.
Another step forward.
“Riley, isn’t this against the rules? Us being in here alone?”
“Rules were made to be broken, kitten.”
Three steps back.
