“Good girl.”
She inhales sharply as her pupils dilate.
This girl couldn’t be more fucking perfect if she tried.
It shouldn’t surprise me that she likes to be praised. As fiery and scrappy as Carina can be, at the end of the day, she needs someone to gently stroke her hair and tell her what a good girl she is.
And I’m just the man for the job.
When I’m confident that she won’t sink to the floor, I release my grip on her arm before slipping around her and taking a quick step in retreat.
She turns to watch me. “So…that’s it?” Her voice bristles with indignation. “You’re just going to leave me hanging again?”
Our gazes stay locked as I continue backing away. Once I reach the threshold, I pause. Her cheeks are heated and even though she’s agitated, arousal sparks from her eyes. It takes every ounce of willpower not to shove her against the wall and take her right here in the empty classroom. I don’t care who walks in and sees us. My desire for this girl borders on the obsessive.
If I don’t claw back a small shred of control, she’ll walk all over me.
“Yup, that was the plan.”
“You’re a real jerk,” she snaps, eyes spitting fire.
“Probably.” I flash a grin. “But I’m a jerk you want between those pretty little thighs.”
A small screech erupts from her as I slip from the room.
It’s better to escape before Carina finds an object to throw at my head. Say what you want about her, but she’s got one hell of an arm. If she wasn’t so passionate about dance, she probably could have played softball. Luckily for me, the hallway is deserted, so no one’s around to witness me adjust my junk.
I never realized just how much I enjoy winding her up.
The unintended consequence is that I’m doing the same damn thing to myself.
And there’s only so much more I’ll be able to take before finally claiming what’s mine.
Chapter Seventeen
Carina
Holy crap.
Did that actually just happen?
I can only stare in disbelief at the empty doorway Ford disappeared through.
Exactly how did he gain the upper hand in this relationship?
I wince.
This is in no way a relationship.
It’s screwing.
Plain and simple.
Well…at some point in the not-so-distant future, that’s what it’ll be.
I hope.
Right now, it’s a whole lot of pent-up agitation.
