Her body swayed toward ainst , and I didn’t doubt she could feel it, if not hear it Her large eyes looked up into mine, and suddenly they hardened at the sao "God, you piss me off"

"Whoa, whoa Did you just say ‘piss’? I’lare and stor lot By the ti on the curb texting someone on her phone, but her seriously-pissed-off look hadn’t left her face yet Oh well, I like her like this

Once ere back at h ere the only two in the living roo onto one of the couches I watched her bare legs sway back and forth as she watched--the news? Who the hell watches the news? Especially an eighteen-year-old girl! I shook ain Before I could stopup her feet, and sitting on the couch I laid her legs back onto my lap and had to force my hands not to run up and down them Princess had stiffened s, and her body slowly relaxed back into the couch I had to bite down on my cheeks, so I wouldn’t smile

I looked slowly up her body and over to her red cheeks, her teeth worrying her bottos I’d been catching a glis in my lap I’d have to thank Bree for her hand in that Monroe piercing, but I couldn’t see this girl letting so like this "So I seeyou poorly"

"Do I even want to knohat you’re talking about?"

"This" I touched just above her lip and had to bite back another freakin’ groan when she shivered against me

"What, you don’t like it?"

"I never said that, it’s hot as hell" That was an understate you into stuff already Figured you weren’t one to give in to people like that"

She roughly withdrew her legs from my lap, and I’d turned to ask what her problem hen I saw her expression, and the question died on my lips "Not that it’s your business, but I was the one anted theht it up I didn’t know at that tiet them, too, and I certainly wouldn’t let so like that Glad to know you think so highly of me" Without another word, she hopped off the couch and went down one of the halls toward s like that? Like with Kristen earlier, why does she have to look like I’ her off even ht I needed her to stay away; I’d already come to terms with the fact that I couldn’t stay away from her even if I tried, so I needed her to leave When she looked atshe was showingBrandon I sighed and answered as I walked outside "Yeah?"

"All right, I’ain after this, you’re like a brother toon with you and Harper?"

"I’irl"

He laughed hard once "Then why did you keep looking at me like you wanted a round with ritted teeth

"Fine, then is she there?"

"What?"

"There you go again, brother" He sighed, and I heard his Jeep start up "I want to talk to Harper; can you give her your phone?"

I kept ether as I opened the sliding glass door, only to find her on the couch again I held the phone out as I neared her, and she juhtly when I said, "It’s for you"

She looked at me with confusion, and mixed in there was some of the salanced at the screen of the phone before bringing it back to her ear, a s her face as she relaxed into the couch "I don’t ot even wider before she could bite down on her lip to try to contain it "I’d like that Did you want me toagain "See you" She practically threwoff down the hall and pounding on what could only beto pickout of the house and toeverything up for the party when Harper ca back into the house Her eyes were clouded over, and she was sht past me and toward rabbed

"I got her back safe, Chase"

"I saw that"
