Anna shoved me with both hands.
“Stop it. You’re making a scene.” It was then that I noticed the handful of students staring at me.
The blonde Martin had cornered earlier walked over to us with a bright smile on her face. “That was awesome. I don’t’ think anyone has ever talked to him like that. That little twerp thinks the world is his just because his father owns a few buildings in the city. Apparently, money can’t buy you a personality.” She laid a hand on Anna’s shoulder. “Keep this one close, I see a few girls here who would swoop in and nab him if you aren’t careful.”
“Thanks.” Anna gave a weak smile. The blonde threw a wink at me over her shoulder and headed out of the room.
“Give me your bag.” I held out my hand. If she didn’t listen, I’d take it anyway, but for just once that day I wanted compliance. She must have seen it in my expression because she didn’t hesitate in handing it over.
“Can we go now?”
“Do you have any other classes?”
“No, just this one. I want to go home and take a pain pill.” She winced when she moved her arm. Switching out my bike for the truck before I picked her up had been a good idea. She wouldn’t be able to hold on to me with one good arm.
“That’s why you are supposed to wear your sling.” I pressed my hand to the small of her back to get her moving. She didn’t have a smart ass response for me. “If I tell you to stay in bed and just sleep today, think you can handle that?” I slowed my steps on the stairs for her, she seemed to be dragging.
“That actually sounds like a great plan. I wasn’t going to work this evening, but I think I’ll go in anyway. I want to see how Sheryl did on her interview, and there are a few kids who started school today. I’d like to see how it went.”
The woman amazed me. “I can drive you; your car won’t be ready for a week or so. Jerry had to order some parts and the body work is pretty bad.”
She shook her head, stopping at the foot of the stairs to look up at me. “I’ll be fine doing what I always did. I appreciate that you somehow feel this responsibility toward me, but you don’t need to. I fared just fine on my own all these years. I’m a big girl now, Jackson. I can take the bus to work.”
“Maybe I just want to spend time with you. Did you think of that?” By the look in her eye I could tell that hadn’t occurred to her. Why would it have? I told her I didn’t want her in my life, had been an asshole about it, too.
“You sure you can do that without being a body guard?” She tilted her head. The teasing smile I remembered from our youth snuck across her lips. Her very kissable lips.
“Probably not.” I shrugged, leaning down to get closer to her. “I’ll always protect you, Anna.” Her tongue darted across her lips, her nostrils flared just enough to tell me she wanted more of what I gave her earlier. If I said the kiss had no effect on me, I’d be a lying fool. I pressed my lips to her forehead, grinning at the disappointed sigh she let out. If the woman knew how much she wanted my touch, I doubt she would have admitted it, but her body was aware of it. Her body wouldn’t be able to hold back in responding to me, but that couldn’t happen. I wouldn’t use her like that.
Tracy was good for a quick fuck, but never would Anna be that girl, and I didn’t want her to become that girl. But that was all I could offer. I wouldn’t drag her into my world. She needed to find someone worthy,
