I straddled his waist as I looked into his teasing eyes. I tried to read his mind but my concentration faltered as his large hands wrapped around waist.
“What are you doing?” I asked nervously.
“Do you trust me?”
“Not as far as I can throw you,” I said immediately.
He started laughing, next thing I knew he had me on my back as he hovered over me.
“How about now?” he asked as his lips hovered over mine.
I shook my head no. My mind fogging over with how close he was.
His lips moved down to my neck, “And now?”
I couldn’t breathe as his lips brushed my skin, “Stop,” I moaned.
“Why?” he asked as his lips brushed my jawbone.
“My mom will hear,” I whispered, not trusting my voice.
He laughed, “We’re both consenting adults.”
“Yea, I’m an impressionable teenager, and you’re an old man,” I laughed out without thinking.
He nipped at the skin of my throat making me freeze.
“Julian?”
He swung us around so I was on top again.
“That’s not funny,” he said with his arms crossed.
“You know it is,” I giggled, swatting his arms.
Before I knew what was happening he pushed me over the edge of the bed. We were both falling and I was seconds away from being crushed.
Somehow, he turned us so I landed on him and he was on the floor with a huge thud.
He started chuckling softly, suspiciously. I just glared at him trying to get up but he wrapped his arms around my back so I couldn’t.
“Chloe?” I froze in his arms.
“Yes?” I called out, looking Julian directly in the eyes.
“Are you all right? I heard a noise,” the doorknob started to turn.
“Yes, mom,” I called trying to pull out of Julian’s arms but he wasn’t having it, “I’m fine. Just fell out of bed.”
It stopped turning, “Okay, sweetie, be down for breakfast in a half hour.”
“Okay!”
I glared into Julian’s amused eyes after she walked away from the door.
He sat up, making me straddle his lap, “Well, that was fun. But I think it’s about time we get going.”
“What?” I asked as he pushed me up so I was standing.
“I thought you’d be happy to get home to your puppy,” he said, his voice borderline angry.
Home, his words repeated in my head.
“That’s not the point,” I mumbled as I headed towards my bathroom.
He grabbed my arm and turned me around, “What is the point?”
He definitely crossed into angry town.
“I can’t just leave,” I pleaded.
“You did it before,” he argued.
I looked into his eyes for a long moment, trying to see my future in them.
