Turn Up The Heat

Chapter 24 - Blake

Four years and she is still the most beautiful creature I have seen. When I was here two years ago I didn't get my chance to speak with her. She was dancing with some douchebag, and infuriated me to no end. But I chickened out and left.

Now she is here in front of me in my arms again, and I am finally home. I realized no one can compare to her no matter what.

She looks up at me with pouty lips. Lips that I just want to kiss until the end of time. She pulls out of my embrace and I furrow my brows at her. "What do you mean because of me?"

Her lips are trembling and I can see she is on the verge of tears again. "Ry it will be alright." She shakes her head and I just want to run my fingers through her hair.

"Sorry I know I'm being silly." She wipes away her tears and I just want to pull her back in for another hug. I just want to feel her pressed up against my body.

"Maybe it's from the nightmare you just had." Sam says as she clasps her hands over mouth. Like she wasn't suppose to say something.

We all look at my beautiful girl. I know she is not mine but I plan on making her mine again.

"Shit!" Lendze and I say at the same time.

"Samantha Jane!" Riley glares at my sister. Sam doesn't seem phased at all. I go to reach out for her but think better of it. My hand is just itching to touch her.

"Ry it's going to be alright." We stare at each other once again but I can feel her getting defensive. I can tell in her eyes and the way her body acts. It may have been a long time but I still know this wildfire.

"I know it's going to be. I've worked damn hard to be where I am today." Her hands on hips giving me sass.

God why is that look such a turn on for me?

Sam interrupts are staring contest by clearing her throat. "I think this is a reason to go celebrate. I mean we are out of school for the summer."

Lendze jumps up and down all excited, I can't help but laugh at her enthusiasm. " Yes let's... we have one year left of college. This is our time to go out and have fun."

Ry looks down at her body trying to shy away for some reason. "I guess it would be good to get out of the house."

Sam has a big smile on her face.  "Good because you really haven't done much since Ryan and girl you need to get laid."

I whip my head around. Who the hell is Ryan? Sam gives me a smug look and I see Riley blushing.

Fuck am I too late to win her back?

"Seriously Sam." Ry glares at my sister and so do I. Why would she say this shit?

"What you know it's true."

I feel my body go stiff like a rod. Just thinking about her with someone else makes me want to punch the fucker and make her mine. Sam keeps going on and on, that I just might strangle her in her sleep.

"You know it's true. It's a wonderful stress reliever."

I roll my eyes because of course Lendze chimes in.

"Ry, we love you but you are all stressed out."

I can't help but smirk as Riley glares at these girls. She truly is a wildfire.

"I am NOT having this discussion AGAIN. Now out I have to take a shower."

Now I'm back to my seventeen year old self, when I accidentally saw Riley naked. I can't help but wonder what her body looks like now.  I have to adjust myself discreetly so they don't notice.

Sam sighs,"fine be ready by six."

Lendze gets a gleam in her eyes. They are dancing with excitement. "Yes! because we are going to partay!"

I can't help but chuckle because they are dancing their way out of Riley's room.

"Blake hold up." I stop dead in my tracks and slowly turn towards her.

Keep your shit together.

"Ya Ry." She pats her bed for me to sit down and I feel my palms sweating.

"So what's going on. You seem a little tense."

This is not what I expected our first time talking in four years would be like this.

"It's fine... it's nothing Ry."

She puts her hand on my leg. By god I have missed her touch. I look at her hand and then back at her face. Her cheeks turn pink and she moves her hand away. I already yearn for her touch again.

"Are you sure? Maybe you are the one that needs to get laid."

She laughs, but it's not a normal laugh, but a nervous one.

"Are we really doing this Ry?"

Everything changes in that split second and she looks beyond pissed. Although she is mad with her hands on those sexy curvy hips glaring at me. She is still is the most beautiful creature I have ever seen.

"How do you want me to act Blake? huh! Act like everything is fine or tell you how I really feel."

I can see the tears forming in her eyes and damn it I'm the asshole again. She walks right up to me and pokes me in the chest.

"You left me Blake."

I bow my head because I did and I'm ashamed that I was a coward.

"You left me too Ry."

She wipes the tears from her eyes. I just want to pull her into my arms, but I know there is more.

"I'm sorry but you didn't even give me a chance and I STAYED! I didn't run away."

"I had my reasons Ry. I fucked up. Well I thought I did at the time but it doesn't matter anymore."

She shoves me hard against the wall.

"It matters to ME! But NO it didn't take you long to move on."

"I didn't move on."

Her mouth hangs open for a moment. I know she wants to say something but nothing is coming out of her mouth.

"I told Sam that so she would back off."

"B-but" she shakes her head and I step towards her but I see that fire back in her eyes. She shoves me back against the wall.

"You left me when I needed you the most." Her lips tremble and I hate myself for doing this to her.

"I made a mistake Ry, but I'm here now."

She turns around to walk away but I grab her wrist. She whirls around on me.

"Don't Blake! It doesn't matter, whatever we had, it's been over for a long time."

I place my hands on her cheeks and look into her emerald eyes. I feel her shiver. She just confirmed that I still might have a chance.

"No wildfire. It's only beginning."

I crash my lips onto hers. At first she is still until I run my tongue over her lips and she opens up. I dive right in. She grabs my hair and moans into my mouth. I let my hands roam down to her ass and grab hold. Just when things get heated she leaps out of my embrace and shakes her head

"No, this can't happen."

"It already has Ry."

She shakes her head again. "I finally was able to let you go Blake. I can't. Please leave."

I walk towards her but she steps back, touching her fingers to her lips.

"Please Blake just go."

"Fine Riley Ann but this is far from over."

Tears fall down her face again.

"It has to be Blake."

I walk out of her room and wonder if I really fucked things up for good.
