His minty breath fanned across my face. "Am I tempting you yet, Reese?" he asked as he pushed me farther up against the alley wall. "No!" I snarled back to the arrogant boy in front of me. He leaned in closer to me, our lips only inches apart. He stepped even closer, a piece of paper couldn't fit in between. I began shaking. "What's wrong, babe? Cat got your tongue." He leaned closer... Meet Reese Parker, your average 17 year old popular virgin. She's that kind of girl who is a mystery to most that don't get to know her. Her auburn hair and chocolate eyes tell more than you'd think. She hates those type of stereotypical guys that think they're all badass, but really, they're just jackasses. Meet Hunter Warren, your typical, most popular guy in school, but a man whore when he sees a girl wearing a tight top and mini skirt. With his chocolate brown hair and bright, blue eyes, they hold some secrets in there, like a little boy in a dark past, that not even his closest friends know. But when a certain sassy, sarcastic, auburn hair girl moves in next door, shit just gets real. Put these two together and complications, and sparks, ignite a fire. Join them in their roller coaster that only goes up, with some bumps along the road. *Rated PG-13 for some sexual content and language*
"Do I make you nervous, Sweetheart?" He spoke lowly.
"Psh, no! I just-" I gasped when his tongue flicked out and touched my neck. My hands flew up to clutch at his shirt, fingers tightening in an attempt to hold myself up. It was as if my knees turned to jelly.
"Maybe it's bad. And maybe I shouldn't, but I love that. I love the way you react to my touch. I love the way you pretend you aren't turned on. I love that I make you nervous." Oh my. His husky voice was doing a number on my already frazzled nerves. I was putty in his hands, rendered completely useless without him. "It's okay, Sweetheart. You make me nervous too."
