His voice is sugary sweet It’s the voice he uses to get his way I’ve heard it a million times, except it used to be he had to use it on other people and not ory’s used to having his way Winning He never expected me to walk away He wanted to have his cake and eat it too Or to screw around with Red, but have ame too "I’m better than okay, actually Colt…he…" I use the sah I’m so enamored with Colt that I can’t find the words to explain him when really I want to use a few choice words that wouldn’t help et in your pants"

"Yeah I’m definitely ready"

"Catch ya later, Pretty Boy" I hear the grin in Colt’s voice He latches our hands together, and alk ahile I try to ignore the tingles shooting around in my stomach

~CHAPTER TEN~

Colt

The second we step outside, I let go of her hand I’uy, especially when I’? That I can handle, but the rest of it is too frolicking-through-flowers for my taste

"What was that?" Cheyenne asks, herthe asshole jealous, like you’re paying me to"

"You didn’t have to really kiss me"

I look at her Would it hurt to show a little appreciation? "You’re just pissed you liked it"

"We should go to the coffee house It’ll be good for us to nore what I just said to you? And what if I have a class? Or do you?"

She shakes her head "I have a little break beforeoutside she looks at eous This would be a whole hell of a lot easier if she wasn’t She has these pouty, little lips I want to bite and then suck into ht "Do you have to ask? You kno you look"

"Shouldn’t you already know this, since we’re sleeping together?" I wink at her

"You knohat? Never h What is it with this wouring it out"

She crinkles her nose and her eyes flick around the rooe the subject And technically I should be a senior

"Do what?"

"Look around like that…like you are always scanning to see who’s around to know if you need to impress someone or not"

She squints her dark eyes and cocks her head Does she really not know she does that?

"Oh I know theory’s friends" Cheyenne reaches across the table and grabs reed to play this game with her I don’t like to be used and I’otta take a leak I’ll be right back" Pushing to my feet, I head to the bathroom The asshole’s friends eye h school

After I get done I see Cheyenne sitting there with her arms crossed "What happened?" I look at her friends, but they’re not paying attention to us

"Nothing Let’s just go"

Shrugging, I graba quick look at my texts I see someone needs a hook up I could walk home, but that will take too much time, so I say, "I live off ca so Adrian drove me in

"Whatever"

I follow the princess to her dorone She walks up to a Honda Accord which isn’t what I expected fro flashier
