SURPRISINGLY YOURS

Deals

Jagger

"You've got yourself a deal."

She stared at me as if I was insane even though she was the one who made the deal.

"I..you.."

"What? Cat got your tongue?"

"Pretty much."

"You're pretty, I'm horny," I chuckled, "I know you want me."

Those fiery eyes told me she wanted my head on a stick.

Julia

I didn't think that through, but I should have known.

He was going to be competitive and I was bait.

This wasn't the way I wanted any of this to go and now I was stuck. I could never go back on my word or this silly deal.

I couldn't deny my hormonal raging when I was around him--he was hot and I was..

Well, he just said I was pretty.

Perhaps he was desperate?

"Earth to Julia?"

"Huh?"

"We have a deal?"

I sighed and smiled, holding out my hand for him to shake.

"We have a deal."

"Great," Jagger said, pulling me into him as if I belonged there, "Go back to sleep."

Jagger

I didn't expect her to fall asleep so quickly after I'd commanded it in a joking manner, but she did.

I stayed up partying and I am sure she stayed up studying most of the time.

I was interested in her--not to date her, but she couldn't just waltz away now that she knew that embarrassing thing about me.

I shouldn't have let it get to me--I should have just held my head high, but I didn't.

Her little snores tickled my neck and I smiled at the way she moaned in her sleep when she shifted.

Her perfect little body molded into mine and I couldn't help but wonder if I could get away with beating the shit out of Eric.

No, this was strictly business and pleasure--nothing more!

"Julia.."

I shook her gently, watching her eyes flutter open.

"Yeah?"

"It's a little after ten, but the storm is raging outside. Want some breakfast?"

She eyed me cautiously and then nodded, her stomach rumbling betraying whatever no she was going to give me.

"Whatcha got to eat?"She asked, "Oh my God! Jagger! You--no--shit!"

I smirked as she covered her eyes. Yes, I'd somehow managed to shimmy off my bottoms in the middle of the night and was butt ass naked, but pulling up my sweats with only my ass in view.

"I'm sorry," I chuckled, "Did you like it?"

"What? Ughhh..."

"You can look," I told her, "I'm dressed now."

She peeled her eyes open slowly and scowled.

"You did that on purpose!"

"I didn't," I said, "I am...I'm not sorry about it."

"Ass..." she shook her head, "I should go."

"No," I said, "Why? Have you seen the weather? You live across campus, Julia."

She stared at me with so much doubt in her mind.

What had Eric done to her?

Julia

"Fine," I huffed, "I like oatmeal."

He raised his eyebrows, "Seriously?"

"Seriously," I smiled, "Do you do keto or something?"

"I love meat," he nodded, "But I absolutely love oatmeal."

He took a step forward and crawled back up onto the bed, this time his body hovered over mine and it took everything in me not to pull him on top of my flesh.

"But I got some really satisfying sausage for you, Julia,and I guarantee you that before this week is over, I'll have your tight little body wrapped around mine. You just wait and see."

Losing this bet was the last thing I ever thought would happen because there was no going back now.
