I Never Thought

Chapter 11

Chase's POV

I sat there staring at the bottle on the floor. It was pointed at me; everyone was watching me. I was chosen to go into the same room that Chloe was waiting, waiting to be touched by a guy she wouldn't be aware of. I was frozen. Why couldn't I react? The reason I agreed to play this game in the first place was for the mere possibility of me being paired with her. I knew if she had gotten paired with some other guy, I wouldn't be able to just sit there and allow him to walk in there. The thought of some guy's hands on her body made my head pound and I clenched my fist in my lap.

Was this my chance to actually touch her the way I'd wanted to for the last few years? I figured I could take advantage of the opportunity so that I could figure out if I was really attracted to her or if I was just going through a phase. As wrong as it seemed, excitement and anticipation were pulsing through my veins. She wouldn't know, that was the whole point of the game. I would finally be able to feel her the way I always wanted to, I could have those beautiful breasts in my hands, and I could finally kiss her luscious, pink lips. And she wouldn't even know, so nothing bad would come of it.

I finally found the words to say.

"I guess I should get going in there then." Everyone nodded and Jonah was grinning wickedly at me.

"I just know that you want this man. Go right on." He patted me on the back. Was it really obvious that I wanted this? Did she know that I wanted this?

I stood to my feet and Donna led me to the room. I could hear my heart pounding in my ears. I opened the door and there she was, sitting on the edge of the bed. I sighed as I felt the anticipation build up in the pit of my stomach. This was my chance. I had been watching her in those shorts for the last few hours, her thighs looked heavenly, not to mention how her shorts were so tight to the point of revealing everything to me.

This was Chloe, the girl that I grew up with. I went through puberty around that girl. I went to bed dreaming of her legs wrapped around me, her lips against mine. I had those fantasies about multiple girls, but the fact that I had them about Chloe at all had puzzled me for a long time. How was this the first time I was given the opportunity to get that close to having those things happen though? Why hadn't I made a move on her before?

Yanique will never know, nobody here knows her, I told myself.

I took my first step toward her. I felt myself getting hard already, it was beginning to hurt.

"Who is it?" she whispered, clearly just as nervous as I was.
"Just tell me please, I won't tell anyone that you've cheated," she tried again. She was trying to break the rules of the game. How would she react if she found out it was me? I would have to try my best to avoid that. I wasn't going to miss out on this opportunity, who knew if I would ever be given one like it again.

I looked down at her. Her chest was rising and falling rapidly. Her hair dangled down her shoulders and I wanted to run my fingers through her curls. I wondered how silky her skin felt, how soft her lips would feel against mine. I don't think I had ever looked at her in such close proximity before. I felt like I had just won a prize and was examining it, I noticed a freckle on her nose that I didn't even know she had. It felt like five minutes had already passed but I had only been in there for about one.

Slowly, I placed my hand on her cheek, caressing her soft skin with my thumb. She tensed at the contact. I moved my hand down towards the back of her neck. She gently stood to her feet; her breaths rapid against my forearm. I looked down at her lips, they were slightly parted. She remained still, for a second, I thought of stopping because she didn't seem comfortable. But then she ran her fingertips along my arm and stopped at the hood of my sweatshirt. She closed her lips and inhaled through her nose. I watched her actions carefully. When her shoulders relaxed and she placed her hand on my lower back, I ducked my head down slowly and pressed my lips against hers.
