Cason never sets foot in the library. The library is for people with no social life or money. We have our own library at our ownhomes and the latest computers. There is no reason to set foot inside the school library.

Then it dawns on me, but I ask anyway, “What is he doing in there?”

I need confirmation. Only one person who attends Spencer Academy is without the same privilege.

“More like who is he talking to or, rather, who is he trying to get to agree to go out with him. The guy has it bad for the new chick.”

I don’t wait for Brian to keep going. My ass moves like it’s on fire. There is no way I will allow Aura to go out on a date with Cason. He isn’t right for her.

It’s not that Cason is a bad guy. He has a great heart and a promising future as the quarterback for Spencer Academy. He already has colleges lined up, so he only has to choose. His parents have money and plenty of real estate.

This is the first time I’ve seen Cason smitten with a girl. It’s usually the other way around. Girls know he is the type you take home to your parents.

“Where are you going?” Brian calls out, but I ignore him.

Aura is mourning the loss of her parents. All it takes is the right touch and the right words from a guy for her to give in.

Pushing the double doors, I enter the library with more force than necessary. The librarian looks up, and her eyes widen when she notices it’s me. Yeah, I don’t come to the library often. None of the guys on the football team do, and if we do, it’s to fuck a chick in the back.

That thought has my head spinning. If he so much as puts a finger on her, I’m going to… what? I shouldn’t give a fuck. Her ass is in school, safe and sound for my mother’s peace of mind. That’s all that should matter.

My eyes quickly scan the tables until I find her head looking down at a book and Cason speaking softly. It looks like she isn’tpaying attention, but I know she is listening to whatever game he is trying to pull on her trying to convince her to agree to whatever he is planning. Aura’s shoulders are tense. She doesn’t trust Cason, and if I were her, I wouldn’t trust anyone either. Including me.

“Aura,” I call out.

Her head lifts when she hears me call her name. I can’t lie and not say that her name on my lips does things. Her name is beautiful, like the girl. The girl is innocence wrapped in a body made to seduce men. Her light-brown hair with a soft touch of red and the light tan of her skin. Today, she wears makeup in soft, neutral tones, but it’s not overdone like Sarah or the other girls. Aura doesn’t even need makeup.

Her legs are crossed one over the other. I approach them, sitting on the wood table, and see that her skirt rides up, showing smooth skin on her sexy thigh. My cock twitches in my pants, and I mentally snap out of it, trying not to embarrass myself in front of her. Cason looks at me with a slight scowl on his face, and I give him a hard stare that sayswhat the fuck are you doing?

“Yes, Kalum,” she answers in a soft voice.

Jesus, the way she says my name is not making this feeling in my cock any better. Even her voice is intoxicating. The softness with which my name rolls off her lips makes my heart beat faster.

“Where were you? I was looking for you.”

She chews her bottom lip nervously and then looks at Cason. Watching her chew her lip has me wanting to kiss the damage she is inflicting on the soft flesh of her lower lip. It makes me want to groan.

I need to get laid. Thinking about this poor girl like that is ten types of fucked up.

Her eyes dart between me and Cason and finally land on me.

“I-I got here early and left before you were ready to leave. I-I was trying to stay out of your way like you wanted.”

Cason closes his eyes and shakes his head disappointedly. She rubs her arms, and you can tell she is cold. I don’t feel how cold it is inside the library because instead of our school blazers, the football team wears their letterman jackets like the one Cason and I are sporting.

“How did you get here, and more importantly, where is your sweater?”

“I got here like I did the first day, and I don’t have a school sweater.”

“I can take you to school. You don’t have to walk, Aura,” Cason says.

My fists clench to my sides.

“She doesn’t need a ride from some asshole trying to get under her skirt.”

“Nah, it’s better for some creep to snatch her from the side of the road because the dickhead that is supposed to give her a ride has a stick up his ass and doesn’t want to be seen with her in his car. And for the record, Kalum. You know me better than that. I don’t need to give a girl a car ride to get under her skirt. That’s Jimmy’s MO.”

He gets up, clearly pissed at me. He looks at Aura and begins to take off his jacket. My lip snarls. “Give her that, and I swear, Cason, you’re pushing it,” I warn.
