"Do I have permission to grab your ass, sexy?" Hayden teased. My face wrinkled in disgust.

"Gross," I muttered. His body was pressed tightly up against my own when he began to sway us back and forth.

"Ease up, Blaine," Hayden whispered. "You always look so tense. Mystery man might think we're faking this."

"Oh what a shame that would be," I sighed dramatically. 

Hayden rolled his eyes, "you want him, don't you? You want him to notice you and get jealous that you're with another guy?" 

"Yeah, I guess."

"Then loosen the fuck up, Blaine. I want a dance partner, not a mannequin."

I stepped forward and asked, "Where do you want me?" It took me a second to realize what I just said. Shit! I placed a hand on my crimson face and muttered, "Get your head out of the gutter! You know what I meant." He laughed, his voice sounded hoarse and deep even when he's laughing. I peeked at him from the gap I made between my fingers. He was close. So close. He grabbed my hand and took me to the bed. Damn! It did sound sexy. His shirt was loose. Too large for me, and it hung on me like a cloth hung on a hanger. He sat on the bed, criss crossed and pulled me to him. ♡♡♡♡♡ The thing about love is... its unpredictable. Even when you don't want love, it just happens. Cassandra is your typical anti-social tomboy where Easton is your black leather jacket high school bad boy. Cassandra and her siblings arrive at Brinkley mansion hoping the year to get by quickly so they can be back with their dad. But then they meet Easton who has a different plan for them. The to-be sole heir of Brinkley Inc., rude, party lover, filled with nothing but rage for the invaders in his house, becomes determined to bring the truth out to world about his father by making the lives of Cassandra and her siblings living hell.

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."

Jack spits. ♔ When Scarlett moved off to college, she hoped to start anew and find her way in this world alone. Two problems.

[ Book 3 in the Something Real series ] "Not your style, Blaine?" He mocked, taking slow steps over to me. "No," I said. Hayden stopped, his knees nudging the edge of the mattress as he looked down at me. "What is your style?" He played along, placing his hands on the bed and leaning in a bit closer than I had initially expected. I took in a deep breath, laying back silently as Hayden brushed the strands of my now shoulder length dirty blonde hair from my chest. His eyes ghosted over me in the most riveting way; I could feel my skin heating up with every flick of his eyes. "I haven't found it yet." I whispered. The right corner of Hayden's mouth curved slightly at my statement. Without warning, he placed a kiss to my cheek that left me longing for something more. "You'll find it," he whispered back. "Give it time." - In Scarlett Blaine's twenty-six years, all she had wanted to do was find love again; and apparently, luck was not on her side.

She looks up at me, taking a step forward and smiling slightly, "How can I ever get hurt when I have you here to protect me?" "But you could have gotten hurt," I murmur softly, hanging my head and feeling my shoulders drop, the tension seeping from my body. "No. Stop," She cuts me off sternly but tenderly, "Don't talk like that, Reece. I'm okay, you're okay, we're okay," She speaks softly, reaching her hand up to gently brush her thumb over my cheek, just under the cut that's there. "We're okay," I repeat, taking a small step closer to her. She nods with a small smile, moving her hand down from my cheek and instead placing the palm of her hand on my chest, right over my heart. I know she can feel how fast my heart is beating. I just don't know why it's doing that. ~ Reece Carter is the bad boy of Northwood High. He smokes and he fights.
