One thing I'll always remember is my parents saying "Everyone has a story" "Everyone has a story with a past, tragic or not. Everyone has a story that is meant to go unjudged, even if it was never told" But sometimes we forget that. Like when I though that my guardian was the devil. Even though he taught me how to laugh, how to protect, and even possible how to love. I only asked one thing "Why?" I still remember the one phrase that changed my life"Let me carry her" This one single and normal phrase was said by none other than Cooper Kingsley, our school's and town's bad boy. He was the championship boxer who drove a motorcycle and got into trouble frequently. He's the guy with brown hair that looked soft enough to run my fingers through, the guy with irresistible cold blue eyes and the guy with a built and strong body that made girls crazy. He wasn't your typical player either; no he was just hard to get- A complete tease. And the fact that he would volunteer to help a girl like this, was not normal. So what did Cooper Kingsley want anything to do with the bland and boring me? I was completely and utterly average. Or so I thought. So why did the devil suddenly become my guardian? Let's find out.

******* She started breathing heavily which made me move closer than I already was. I leaned in and lightly brushed my lips on hers. She closed her eyes and gasped softly. All rational thoughts flew out of my head and I finally planted my lips on her soft ones. I kissed her slowly and I drank in the taste of her. I ran my tongue on her bottom lip and bit it softly making her open her mouth, granting me access. Our tongues mingled in a sensual dance making me grow harder. i groaned and pushed her closer till there was no space between us. She locked her legs on my hips and ran her hands through my hair. I growled when she pulled it making me kiss her harder. I reciprocated the action and lightly grabbed a fistful of hair. She moaned in my mouth and kissed me back passionately. We were running out air and I finally let go of her mouth and moved my lips to her neck. She gasped for breath and moaned when I bit her neck lightly. She was driving me crazy with those sounds she was making. I sucked her neck, taking the taste of her skin in my mouth. ****** 'Have the world at your feet and keep your fate in the palm of your hand'.
