And just like that, all the tension building in my body disappeared because if anyone could kill the mood, it was Rachel. Forcing my eyes to her, I saw she was standing at the end of the aisle, grinning with amusement as some tall, non-descript blonde guy stood behind her.
She flicked her hair over her shoulder before licking the edges of her lips. I shivered, feeling slightly queasy that it was her I was watching.
“Sorry for interrupting, man.” The guy seemed like he was in a drunken haze, so I guessed my disruption came after he, ahem, came. That was a win for him, at least.
“No problem.” Tanner’s voice boomed behind me, and I suddenly remembered how we looked. Tanner’s hand was sitting firmly on my thigh, his finger teetering at the edges of my skirt, and my hips were curved into his.
How I urged for his fingers to follow their intended path and touch me.
I gulped because, did I just think that?
Yes, I’d been thinking about Tanner a lot recently, but I’d never thought about guys I knew in a sexual way, and yet, here I was, only wanting Tanner.
Who was I kidding? It was all the horniness talking.
Tanner chuckled, and it reverberated through my chest, only intensifying the feeling between my thighs, and I inadvertently shifted to get some release for myself. That was a mistake because it only served to push his hand higher up my skirt. He was unwittingly close to my center, which made me try to back away.
Another wrong move because that had me grinding into his crotch. I felt Tanner grunt, but he was much better at holding it together than me. Rachel and that guy were watching our every move and if we wanted people to believe he was into me, I had to at least act natural.
“I guess we’ll leave you to it, then.” She winked, giving me a mischievous finger wave before taking the guy’s hand and walking off.
With Tanner’s index finger a mere inch away from my soaked panties, and my ass grinding into his crotch, we stood in an awkward clinch for longer than necessary, but we needed to make sure the coast was clear before we moved.
Once it was deathly quiet, I pushed Tanner off so hard he hit the other side of the aisle. I immediately dusted off my skirt, adjusting it and stepped from side to side to gain some movement in my legs again.
“What the hell was that?” I whisper-shouted.
With a crinkled brow, he said, “Seriously?” He pointed to the end of the aisle where Rachel and her blow job partner were. “That was me saving your ass. Again.”
I jutted my jaw and looked up at him in defiance. It was all I had at this point because I didn’t want to be embarrassed and admit how the whole thing was making me feel. “And what makes you think my ass needed saving.”
He had a bemused look on his face as his eyes flicked across my body. I shivered but folded my arms, hoping he didn’t notice. Then, I rubbed my arms, pretending it was the air conditioning that caused the goosebumps across my skin. Not Tanner’s touch.
“Are you really going to pretend you weren’t just watching your arch-nemesis give head through a gap in the developmental learning section?”
Fuck. How long was he standing there for?
“Because I only came over to let you know I probably had the book you needed. Then I saw you standing there, biting your lip, and clutching onto a couple of books like they were your only lifeline.”
So he saw it all, and I could feel my face heating at the mere thought of him standing there watching. Did he know I was getting horny? “You’re annoying,” I spat out. “And she’s not my arch-nemesis.”
He gave me a slow smile, studying my face to a point that it made me feel uncomfortable. It felt like he was never going to mention kissing me again, yet he seemed more than happy to touch me in ways that made me nearly climax against the bookshelves. “Maybe she isn’t, but either way, you ticked her off.”
“Oh, yeah? How do you know?”
“I could see it in her face. My hand was on your thigh, not hers. And she didn’t like it.”
I rolled my eyes, pushing his hard chest away, forcing myself to pretend I didn’t like how it felt. He was just so hard everywhere. It was like I was trying to push a brick wall. “Cocky, much, Mr. Quarterback? She was literally sucking off another guy less than a minute before, and all you’re thinking about is how jealous she was that you were touching me.”
Grabbing my hands, he held them for a second longer than I felt necessary. We were close enough that standing next to him, I had to tip my head all the way up to see his face. I never truly realized he was so tall or muscular until I had him wrapped around me. “Not cocky at all. If I was that cocky, I wouldn’t have asked for your help and I would have come up with some elaborate way to cheat myself back onto the team, thinking no one would notice.” I caught my breath because Connor immediately came to mind. “It’s just I know girls like her. They are looking for one thing. A meal ticket and operate on a tiered system. The guy she was sucking off is one of the top baseball prospects next year.”
“Baseball, Hockey, Football? Is there a sport she hasn’t tried?” I grumbled.
“Exactly. No one on the hockey team will touch her after her foray with Connor, so she’s looking for athletes with better prospects. So forgive me if I like to flaunt the fact that she’s never going to get it from me every now and again.”
Turning on his heel, his shoulder brushed past my nipple and in my stupid, slightly erotic state, my whole body tingled because I enjoyed that a little more than I should have.
What was wrong with me? It was almost as if the minute Tanner kissed me, he unlocked some kind of magical key to my erogenous zones. I didn’t like it. No one should have a key to that but me.
