direction.
    “Mia,” I hear someone call out.
    “Fuck,” I hiss and feel Mia stiffen above me.
    I quickly remove my fingers from my favorite spot and lower her down the wall.
    Just as her feet hit the floor, someone steps into the mouth of the hallway. I look and see Jesse standing there. The hallway is dark but not dark enough. There is no way he won’t see what we were just doing. I press my body up against Mia, who still has her breasts hanging out of her top and her skirt hiked up. Rage hits me at the thought of Jesse seeing any part of her body. He doesn’t move, just stands there staring at us. I decided he’s seen enough.
    “Leave,” I growl over at him.
    My tone snaps him out of his daze and he jumps a bit and spins around.
    “I…uh…sorry. Jaxon sent me in here to see what was taking so long. I’ll…I’ll just leave you two alone,” he mutters the last and then skedaddles out the hallway. A few seconds later, I hear the door close.
    Looking back at Mia, I see her eyes on me, and they are not happy.
    Shit! Here we go.
    She reaches down and pulls her top back up and shimmies her skirt back down. I take a small step back so she can finish. Once she’s done, I open my mouth to speak, but she beats me to it.
    “Don’t you fucking dare! Not one fucking word!” She says heatedly.
    “Mia—“ I begin, but am cut off again.
    “No! I can’t believe I just let that happen. Of all the fucked up shit I’ve done, that’s got to be at the top of my list.” She finishes and looks away from me.
    I narrow my eyes at her because she’s starting to piss me off. Yes, we probably shouldn’t have done that in her mom’s hallway, but fuck if she didn’t want it.
    I grab a hold of her chin and force her to look me in my eyes. She tries to pull away, but I don’t let her.
    “Lie all you want Mia, but you wanted me just then. You wanted it just as much as me. You crave it just as much as me. You need it just as much as me.”
    “My body may want you, Mac, but my mind and heart don’t. They want nothing to do with you. I may not be able to control how my body reacts to yours, but I can damn sure control my mind and heart. Now back the fuck off and let me leave.”
    We glare at each other for a minute. I take a step back, deciding to battle with her another day. I don’t want to push her too far, too fast. When I’m far enough away, she leans down to pick up the picture she must have gotten from her mom’s bedroom. She turns to leave, and we hear a commotion coming from outside. There are people yelling.
    We both rush to the back door just in time to see Bailey rush in front of Jaxon who is yelling at someone out of our view.
    “Oh shit,” I hear Mia whisper.
    I look down at her and see worry in her eyes.
    “What?”
    “We need to get out there, Mac, before he does something stupid.”
    I whip open the door and hear Jaxon yell, “You stay the fuck away from my mom!”
    I look over to whom he is talking about and see Lilly standing in front of Mr. Hatley, my old science teacher. She has her hands on his chest, talking to him quietly. His hands are placed over hers. His eyes are on Jaxon, but they are calm.
    At Jaxon’s outburst, Lilly whips around, marches over to Jaxon, and pokes her finger in his chest. Bailey steps to the side.
    “You listen here, Jaxon Walker. You leave Levi alone. I’m a grown woman and can see who I want to see.”
    Okay, well then, I guess that explains it. I’m shocked as shit to discover Lilly dating Mr. Hatley. Not because she shouldn’t, but because of all the years I’ve known her since her husband left, I’ve never known her to date. It’s good for her. She’s a beautiful woman and shouldn’t be alone.
    I walk over to Jaxon just as he lowers his head to his mother. I hear him say quietly, “Mama, really? Mr. Hatley? I don’t like it. You could do so much better.”
    She laughs at that, but you can tell it’s fake. “Would anyone be good enough in your eyes,
