11 parts Complete Once Grayson and I reached my home, he stayed for a moment longer. I stared up at him, he reached out to me, and tucked a lock of my hair behind my ear. I blushed as his fingers brushed against my skin. He tilted my chin up towards him. I shuddered and looked up at him through my lashes. I lightly gripped his upper arm. His face hovered over mine. His hot, shallow breath against my lips made me shift. He slipped his other arm around my back, and pulled me gently towards him.

"And why not?" He asked gently. His eye bore a hole in me, right in the center of my heart. The place that wanted me the most to love him unconditionally and to hold onto him and never let him go.
"Because May will be mad." I replied. I closed my eyes, bracing myself for the warmth of his lips to overwhelm me. He stayed where he was, his lips just out of reach. He was teasing me. I opened my eyes, and looked into his. The cunningness and he way he flattened his eyelids over half of his eyes made me shudder in excitement again. There was something else in his eyes. Something I've never seen before. He was looking at me in a way no other man and ever.
"I don't care about her anymore." He whispered against my lips.
