Rumba Romance by AllyQuill

"Then my mind must just imagine the way you react to my touch. The way you shiver when I'm close to you, the way your breath catches when I whisper in your ear," he said, his voice growing huskier as he leaned in closer. I could feel the heat radiating from his body, the intoxicating scent of his cologne filling my senses. His words, his proximity, everything about him was making it harder to maintain my composure. "And the way your pulse quickens," he continued, his fingers lightly grazing my wrist, "like it is right now. The way your lips part, waiting for my kiss. The way your body leans in, even when your mind says no." My heart was pounding, and I hated that he was right. I could feel the pull, the undeniable attraction that I was trying so hard to deny. Carter's eyes locked onto mine, and I could see the confidence there, the certainty that he had me figured out. "Admit it," he murmured, his breath warm against my skin. "You want this. You want me." ✺✺✺✺✺✺✺✺✺✺ When 17-year-old Olivia Hayes is unexpectedly paired with Carter, the skilled and charismatic dance captain, for a challenging duet, her life takes an unexpected turn.

"Who do you think you are, dude?" Levi spits, getting in Jack's face. "Look, Scarlett was just helping me out with a proj-" "I'm not your dude," Jack bites, and I want to tear my hair out of my head. This is going downhill very fast. Jack turns to me. "Scar, we need to talk," he says lowly. Then loud enough for Levi to hear, "So can you please get this kid to leave." "Hey, you don't get to come in here and start ordering her around," Levi says harshly. "You don't control her." "And you think that you do?" Jack spits. ♔ When Scarlett moved off to college, she hoped to start anew and find her way in this world alone. Two problems.
