ahold of yourself Ava. Quickly retracting my hand I stood, every fiber
in my body was on high alert. Our eyes collided and my fears were
rewarded with a panty-dropping smile.
Fuck me ...not literally. More like ‘damn me.’
Universe you’re an
asshole.
Heat rushed to my head not
sure if it was from my abrupt movements or from being so close to
him. Heat also rushed to other parts of my body. That , I knew was from
his close proximity.
“What are you doing here?
Aren't you supposed to be in college?” I snapped really not sure
how I was able to speak. My body was shutting down but at the same
time being electrocuted.
“I could ask you the same
thing. And no, I’m not in college. I’m a senior in high school,
this high school.” He stretched his hand handing me the books he
picked up. “I would have shared that information with you if you
hadn't been so eager to take off, leaving me naked in a bathroom.”
He said not caring if anyone was listening.
Shit. This was bad. Not only
did he drive my body crazy he was also a high school student. My
one and only rule was never to sleep with a guy that was still
attending high school. They all had big mouths. Honestly, if I was
going to be labeled a slut, I, was at least going to sleep with
someone who knew what the fuck they were doing. The majority of the
high school male population doesn't know the difference between a
g-spot orgasm and a clitoral one…well, if we’re being completely
honest how many men know that really? Still, my odds were better
with college guys, men, not boys.
“I haven't been able to stop
thinking about you since that night.” He whispered
sweetly.
No. No. No. This cannot happen. I grabbed his arm opening the
nearest door. Fortunately it was a janitorial closet. Perfect. I
pulled him in shutting the door behind us. Ah, déja vu. Ugh…focus Ava! Gabriel
looked at me eyes filled with desire, I shivered as his eyes lower
to my lips. Oh God, why was he so sexy? Setting his books inside
the utility sink beside us he stepped in front of me placing one
hand on my face the other gripping my waist. My lungs gasped for
air as he pressed my back against the wall melting his body into
mine. Gabriel’s essence was irresistible it should be illegal to
smell the way he does. He held the power to completely shut down
any inhibition I may have left. It scared the Sicilian out of me no
guy has ever affected me the way he does. He could very well become
an addiction, an insatiable addiction. Lowering his mouth to my ear
I felt his warm breath on my skin as he whispered. “I haven't been
able to stop thinking about you. The way you moaned my name.” He
nipped my earlobe before continuing “the smell of your skin.”
Gabriel kissed my neck sending my lower muscles into a
frenzy. Good God .
What was he doing to me? All logic got thrown out the window as the
need to kiss him clouded any reason in my brain. “Gabriel.” I
whispered forcing him to look at me. Our eyes interlock with
feverish hunger both communicating without words. His fingers grip
my hipbone as his thumb slipped under my shirt forming circles
around the exposed skin causing my nipples to pucker.
“Gabriel.” I said again,
moaning in a hushed tone. Just like a cold icy shower we are
interrupted by a startling noise it boomed from the speakers
directly above us. Headmistress Harvey welcomed everyone to the
first day of class continuing with the morning announcements. I was
grateful but pissed that it zapped me back to reality. Don’t have sex with high school boys!
Again!
Gently, I pushed Gabriel
away from me. “Gabriel, I can’t.” I said shaking my head. He
stumbled back like I had punched him in the gut. “Listen, Blue, I
really enjoyed what we did but I thought you were in college. I
wasn't aware that you were in high school, more importantly a
student here.” I held my head high as I continued maybe that way
I’d convince myself I meant what I was saying. “I know all you
