Both my hands found the sides of her face, and I kissed her harder, deeper. Enjoying every second of it before I pecked her puffy lips one last time.
Leaning my forehead against hers, inches away from her mouth, I opened my eyes to find hers already open. Like she never closed them to begin with. They were dark and dilated, luring me into her heated gaze.
Neither one of us said anything, not a word, but I was the first to break the silence.
Throwing her words back in her face, I rasped, “Still want to bite off my tongue, Harley?”
She didn’t respond, which was very unlike her.
“I didn’t steal anything this time, you gave it to me. This pin though.” I showed it to her. “This, I’m taking back.”
Still, she said nothing.
I should have known better.
I should have seen it coming.
Nope.
Her leg flew up and kneed me in the balls so hard, I toppled over while she shoved me off her.
“That’s fucking cheating, Harley!”
“I didn’t give you anythin’! Real kiss stealer!”
“Who were you gonna kiss anyway? I just did you a favor.”
“I told you not to mess with me. See what happens when you don’t listen.”
“Gremlin, I can’t even see straight right now,” I groaned, rolling onto my back.
“Good, then maybe you’ll leave me alone. Serves you right for not only stealin’ my first kiss, but my real first kiss too. You’re a thief. It didn’t belong to you!”
“Don’t act like you didn’t want it.”
“Don’t flatter yourself, Rudolph.”
“I’m just speaking the truth.”
She snatched the pin out of my hand. “This is mine. Not yours. Mine!”
“You better run and hide, Harley Jameson. ‘Cuz the second I can stand, I’m coming for you.”
“Good, I’ll be waitin’. Oh, you know what?” She tried to kick me again, but I blocked her. Taking her down to the shingles with me.
“Didn’t see that coming, did you?”
She shook off the haze, spewing, “I hate you, Jackson Pierce.”
I didn’t waver in replying, “Not as much as I hate you.”
Meaning every last word…
Or so, I thought.
