check on you. You missed class today.”
She said turning on her heel. She really needed to get back. The
moment she turned her back, she became the lamb exposing her
vulnerability to the wicked wolf who was waiting to devour
her.
    She inhaled sharply as he wrapped his
arms around her and pulled her back into his chest.
    “ I like you. You’re
something else, something different, and something new.” Iris
turned his arms and gently shoved his chest. “What’s with you? I
never know what I’m getting.” She said frustrated. She watched
confused as he gave her a devious smirk. “I’ll let you in on a
little secret.”
    Iris held her breath. She wanted to
know.
    “ They call me Jay.” Was
that it? What was so secretive about that? It was nothing but a
nickname. It didn’t seem like anything special. She shrugged her
shoulders at him.
    “ Look I’ve got to go. I
just wanted to make sure you were okay.” He took her by surprise
when he grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him. His lips were
on hers and when he bit down on her bottom lip she snatched her
face away.
    “ What the hell do you think
you’re doing?” It didn’t matter whether or not she liked that kiss.
It didn’t belong to him.
    “ I just thought I should
satisfy that burning curiosity of yours.”
    “ You are such a bastard,”
she said storming away from him. She heard his dark chuckle behind
her. What was wrong with him?
     
     
     
    Iris climbed into the car.
    “ I’m sorry for keeping you
waiting Ryan. I didn’t think I would be long.”
    “ You be careful miss. I
didn’t like the look of his character.”
    “ He’s as harmless as a fly.
Nothing is wrong with him.” She said reassuring Ryan. She didn’t
know if she was doing for his sake or for her own. She smiled and
finally got out of the car glad to be home. She raced into the
house. “I’m home!”
    She looked at the note on the fridge
from her parents. They’d gone to some formal dinner party. Yes! She
was glad she wasn’t stuck attending. She left everything in the
family room and rushed to see her horse before the sun completely
set.
     
     
     
    “ Don’t worry Blitz, Iri
will be here in a minute and then we’ll both be happy.”
    Iris watched as he brushed her horse
and tended to him. She giggled when he ate the apple greedily that
Chester offered him.
    “ Hey, how long have you
been there?” Chester asked. He hoped she hadn’t heard all his
secrets he’d been pouring out to the horse. It was enough to make
him want to flee.
    “ Not long,” she said
running into his open arms. She sank into his embrace and took a
whiff of him.
    “ Are you smelling me?” he
asked. Iris looked up into his smiling face and her face combusted.
She broke away from his arms. “No!” She shouted embarrassed.
Chester chuckled at the flaming red girl. He smiled as she backed
away from him.
    “ Where are you running to,
little Iri?” he whispered. He watched as she bit her lip and shook
her head from side to side. Why did she have to be so
cute?
    “ Eep!” she squeal before
taking off. “Not so fast!” Chester shouted running after her. Her
laughter floated behind her and spurred him on. He felt so carefree
when he was with her. They raced through the house and he finally
cornered her in the studio.
    “ Cheese, I’m tired.” She
puffed out. Chester snickered, he wasn’t going to let her get away
so easy. “Nope. You owe me.”
    “ Fine. You get one
request.” Chester grinned at her as he followed her to the kitchen.
He already knew what he wanted. He would be patient for
now.
     
     
     
    He had a brandy and coke while he
waited for the pizza to arrive.
    “ You know you’re not
supposed to be drinking,” she chastised him. “Those rules don’t
apply to the rich and famous; I’m sure you’ve had a couple of
drinks before. If I remember correctly you enjoy champagne, but
your favorite is vodka.”
    She bit her lip. He had her there.
“But there was always adult
