“What?”
“Do you always do that?”
“Do what?”
“Drink from the carton that way?”
I smirk and shrug my shoulder. “Do you always ogle a guy you just met like you want to jump his bones?”
“I didn't ogle you, and I definitely don't want to jump your bones. You took me by surprise, that's it. I expected your sister.” She crosses her arms and tilts her head. “You're lucky I didn't call the cops.”
Drinking another big gulp, I just watch her. She really is pretty. When Betty told me she found her new roommate online, I was a bit skeptical. Even if Betty hadn't gotten into an accident, I probably would have insisted that I was here for this anyway.
You never know nowadays. There are some creeps out there, and Betty is my little sister. She might not like it, but it's my job as her older brother to make sure she's safe. I always have and always will.
“I don't believe in luck, and you didn't. So, where you from anyway? Betty didn't tell me much, just that your name's Anna, and you're from the south.”
“Kentucky.”
“That explains it.”
“Explains what?” Her voice holds this level of sass. I'm not sure why, but I can tell she's ready to serve up some shit if she feels she needs to.
I like it. She's a firecracker. There's nothing hotter than a girl who can handle herself.
“Your accent.” I hold out the milk as I gesture toward her. “You want some before I put it back?”
“No, thank you.” She waves her hand, and giggles as she shakes her head. “I'll get my own food and stuff. You can keep your germs.”
“For now.” Grinning, I bounce my brows playfully.
“And for as long as you're here,” she snaps quickly.
I don't take my eyes off her. Even if I wanted to, I can't. She's too fucking gorgeous. Anna is one of those girls who doesn't know how beautiful she actually is. There's a hard shell around her, but in the center is a woman who turns heads no matter where she goes.
We're staring at each other. Neither one of us is blinking. I adjust the top of my pants, and her eyes dip for a split second, landing on my cock then jumping back up.
Caught you.
“Don't get any ideas now. I know you want to act like I'm the one who needs to keep their hands to themselves, but I can see right through you.”
Anna lets out a loud exhale as she laughs sarcastically. “Yeah, okay. You're crazy, you know that? I would never sleep with you. I literally just met you. The fact you're even talking to me like this is enough to know the kind of guy you are.”
“Seems to me like you're trying really hard to convince yourself more than I am. I know who I am, but you. . .” Pausing, I squint my eyes and look her up and down. “You're still figuring yourself out. But, if there's one thing I know, it's the eyes you're giving me.”
“What the hell is wrong with you? We just met, and this is how you act? You're a pig.”
I can't help myself. I know I'm teasing her, and I know she's getting annoyed. But I'd be lying if I said I'm not enjoying this. Her cheeks are crimson, her arms are pin straight at her sides, and her eyes are so big I could jump inside.
I hold out my hand, waving it lazily through the air. “All I'm saying is that maybe it's not me you're actually worried about. Maybe you’re worried about what you'd do if you had the chance.”
There's fire in her eyes now. She huffs under her breath, grabbing the handles of her bags angrily. She whips around on her heels and starts to storm off. She's heading for her room, only it's not the right one. Anna is heading straight for my room.
She stops short, and glances back and forth between the two rooms. I walk up behind her, making the distance between us no more than a half foot.
“It's too soon for that. We just met. I can't let you in my bed on the first night.”
Anna's head whips over her shoulder, and she grunts softly under her breath. Pushing herself past me, she drags her bags to her room, and slams the door shut.
I'm smiling. My cock is pulsing with desire. I'd love to show this girl a good time. It looks to me like she needs someone to loosen her up a little bit.
I can be that guy. A little release might do her some good. You can't take life so seriously. There's no point in planning ahead. That's how I live my life. I take one day at a time.
And I know that whatever happens, is supposed to happen. This girl needs a little taste of what life looks like when you let it come to you. It would be good for her to just go with the flow.
