But not Shorty.
And damn if I don’t think it’s cool.
She’s still giving Asher this pointed look, and all he can do is snicker, shake his head, and walk away.
“Stay put,” I tell her. “I’m gonna shower up, then walk you to class…or wherever it is you’re going next.”
She rolls her eyes. “I just popped in to give you a thank-you coffee. I’m not waiting for you toshower up. I can look after myself. I don’t need some bodyguard walking me to class.”
“Sure.” My lips fight a grin as I make a point of checking her out. “What are you? Five-nothing?”
Her lips part with an insulted scowl. “I am five-three… and a half, so just… you know!”
“Wow.” I raise my eyebrows. “What a comeback. You’re right, anger does make you stupid.”
She gasps, her eyes flashing. “Give me that coffee back.”
I hold it away from her, laughing some more as she makes a lunge for the cup. She grunts and tries again, jumping on me to reach the coffee and basically crawling up me like I’m the tree and she’s the monkey. I cinch her around the waist, and the second her breath hits my cheek, we both go still.
I turn and am caught by those gray-blue eyes, held still by the way they study mine. Her breathing grows a little punchy, and natural instinct is making me want to lean forward and kiss those pink lips.
But I’m on Day fucking One of No Come. I’m on themorningof it, and if I kiss her now, it’s just gonna make me ache in all the wrong places. I can already feel myself growing hard. Her little body nestled against mine, her boobs squished against my chest.
And now I’m getting even harder.
I lower her to the ground, and she swallows, taking a step back. “Seriously, I don’t need you to walk me to… class…” Her voice trails off with a sigh as she obviously thinks of something. Squeezing her eyes shut, her face bunches and she quickly blurts, “But that would be really nice of you.”
Wow. She actually agreed.
I raise my eyebrows in surprise, and she huffs. “Well, hurry up. It’s freezing in here, and I don’t want to be late.”
I would offer to let her sit outside the locker room and wait for me, but I don’t want Coach showing up and yelling at her.
She’ll be less noticeable if she waits on the bleachers, so I direct her to a seat and tell her I’ll be fast.
“Just stay, okay?”
She rolls her eyes again, plunking down with a little eye bulge before wrapping her hands around her coffee cup.
“Good girl.” I wink at her, and she shoots me a very raw, dry glare.
It’s hard not to laugh as I run off to the locker room.
She really is one entertaining chick.
One you should probably stay the hell away from.
Letting out a sigh, I down the last of the coffee before throwing the cup out and stripping off my gym gear.
So I wanted to kiss her for a second. Big deal. I can control this thing.
Once I walk her to class this morning, the chances of seeing her again are probably slim to none. I won’t ask for her number or anything. I’ll just deliver her to whichever building her first class is in and then be on my way.
Not a big deal at all.
