My Reason to Live

Chapter 7

The carnival is already in full swing when we get there. I look around, and a wide smile spreads across my face.

"I take it  this was a good call to come here then." Jade chuckles.

"It was a great call." I slow down, so we're walking side by side.

Jade drops my hand and puts her arm over my shoulder, pulling me close to her side.

"What do you want to do first?" Jade asks as we start walking down the path lined with booths selling trinkets and food.

"You choose," I tell her.

A smile crosses her face. "Do you like rides?"

I grimace. "No," I respond immediately because I really dislike rides.

Being strapped in while you go at crazy speeds and up to stupid heights or get thrown around? No, thanks.

Then, I stop myself. Like, literally, I stop walking.

Jade stops, too, and moves to stand in front of me. "You okay?" she asks, a touch of concern furrowing her brow.

"Yeah." I nod. "Just...I hate rides. Well, maybe not hate, but I definitely dislike them a significant amount."

"That was very specific."

"I'm a specific kind of girl." I flash my eyes at her.

"Okay, Miss Specific, how about we just hit up the stalls and eat food, and then I can kick your ass at games?"

I pause again, caught in my thoughts.

"You there?" Jade waves a hand in front of my face.

"I'm thinking," I tell her.

"Do I need to sit down for this? Is it going to take a while?"

"No. But then again, five minutes is a long time for an impatient child like you, so maybe you should sit." I smirk.

She shakes her head at me. "I might just sit down, so I can put you over my knee and spank your ass for being smart."

"So, I get spanked for being smart? Sounds like a win-win to me." I widen my grin.

She chuckles. "See? That's why I like you, Pez."

"Because I let you spank me?"

Stepping closer, she pushes her fingers into my hair. "That, and"—she brushes her lips over mine—"because that smart mouth of yours gets me hard at the most inappropriate moments."

Her lips touch mine again, and I feel her erection press into my hip.

"Do you need to stand here for a moment while it goes down?" I flick a look south, my lips pushing up.

"Yeah." She chuckles. "Tell me where we were before spankings and my erection?"

"I was thinking."

"Oh, yeah. How's that working out for you?"

"Quite well." I meet her smiling eyes. "I think I should go on the rides because I dislike them."

"Did you drink alcohol before you came out today?"

"Funny." I stick my tongue out at her. "No, it's on my list. I have to do something that scares me."

"If I remember rightly, it said, do something that terrifies you to the point of pissing your pants."

"Do you remember everything? Like literally everything?"

"Only the things that matter."

"My list matters to you?"
