And his eyes are boring into mine and kissing him is literally all that I can think about.
I could just kiss him. One kiss won’t hurt anything, right?
I don’t say anything.
I stop thinking.
I launch myself forward and give myself over to him.
Chapter Five
Blaze
I didn’t expect this.
Days into knowing Melissa, I knew it for sure. I’m not just attracted to her. I like her. A lot.
I love how focused she is on her work and how dedicated she is to making this production the best production. I love the way that she takes in all of her surroundings, always on alert. She sees every detail. She plans for any disruption.
She loves theater as much as I love football and that passion is infectious.
I bought my ticket for opening night on the second day of working with Melissa.
And now, here we are.
She’s in my arms.
Her lips are on mine.
And I am gone.
I know how bad of a move this is. I know that I shouldn’t touch her. I know that I should have left when she told me that I could. I know I absolutely never should have been alone with her.
This can’t go anywhere… not if I want to stay playing football.
What would Coach say?
What would the team say?
I wish I had a minute to ask Zephyr’s advice. He would know what to say.
But it doesn’t matter now.
I’m making out with Melissa Barnes, my Coach’s daughter. And I can’t go back. I only want to keep going.
I lower Melissa onto the stage, kissing her all the while. She tastes like the tea and honey that she keeps in her thermos and I want more.
I kiss her neck, grazing my hand down her waist and gripping her hip. I grind into her, feeling the urge to rip both of our clothes off and take her right here, right now.
This is crazy.
I can’t do this.
I pull away from her. “Should we stop?”
She looks at me wide-eyed. “Do you want to stop?”
“No. I mean we should… but I don’t want to. What do you want to do?”
