Stuck With The Cassidy Boys

Chapter 16

Her eyes widen in shock but before she can move I place my hand gently over her mouth and look into her eyes

"Shhh, stay" I said calmly and she just nodded, not that she had much choice. Her eyes went down my body, taking in my appearance of my now soaked shorts, she was checking me out.

I didn't look down at her body yet, I know I'm a douche but she's naked and I don't want to make her feel anymore uncomfortable...yet!

"What the fuck Luke" she screeched as I remove my hand, placing it in her shoulder making her tense up and flinch. Why?

"Shhh" I whisper leaning into her ear, my breath fanning against her neck, her body tenses even more of That's even possible.

"I thought we could carry on what we started the other day" I whispered, slowly trailing my hand down her arm from her shoulder before attaching it to her waist, I still never looked down at her body, only her eyes.

I've noticed things about Emerson since she's been here and I want to find answers to the questions they have given me,

She seems confident but I can see it's sometimes an act,

her body is scarred and bruised but I don't know why,

she gets frustrated when I mention her past home life but I don't know why,

I hear her screaming at night, her nightmares so intense she cry's endlessly but I don't know why'

She has tattoos and piercings all over he body but I don't know why,

She puts all her trust and spends all her time with Avery but I don't know why,

She was kissing Daniel and it hurt me but I don't know why,

I like her, but I don't know why

And I need to know why

Emerson's P.O.V

I was currently naked, in the shower with a partly naked Luke Who was staring directly into my eyes, his big hands gripping onto my waist, I was nervous

"I thought we could carry on what we started the other day" he whispered in my ear making me shiver, damn I should have known he would retaliate this is all a game to him, well two can play at that game,

I decided to go along with whatever he does, to a certain extent, Avery says that all the boys like me so I want to understand what he means, he's rarely wrong.

I remain quiet as we stair at each other, to say I'm uncomfortable is an understatement, I feel self conscious of my body, I had no Avery to hide behind, just my naked, expose self, but...

He hasn't once yet looked down at my body, only at my face, staring deep into my eyes, what is he doing?

My breathing quickens as he leans in and placed a light kiss on my neck, slowly trailing his tongue up to behind me ear, he stops and nibbles on it softly,

"How's That?" He asked, his voice deep and seductive, I nod slowly, I didn't need to play along, he had me feeling something unusual.

He moves his hands from my waists a bit further up to my bruised ribs, making me flinch which he notices, his lustful expression softens at my reaction

"What happened?" He asks, not breaking eye contact with me, damn him and his pushy ness, never knowing when to leave things

I shook my head "N-Nothing" I stutter out, Yeah well done Em he's definitely gonna believe that, Kudos.

His gaze switches from my eyes and slowly go down, he looks down at my body and I squirm under his watch, I am naked after all.

A slight gasp comes from his mouth as his eyes land on my ribs, this is Nothing new to him, he's seen me naked before I'm sad to say.

He lightly traces my bruise and scars with his fingertips, staring at them intensely, but only the scars and bruises,not my chest or the rest of my body, just my wounds

"Please s-stop" I said quietly feeling embarrassed and upset, I didn't want him to see this side of me, to pity me, he needed to stop

"Why won't you tell me Emerson?" He asked, urgency in his voice like he needs to know, like his life depended on it.

"I c-can't" I whispered to him and his had left my stomach, cupping my cheek,

"Tell me" He said firmly, looking into my eyes once again, why did he care so much, who was I to him other than some random girl with issues who was sent to live with him?

A tear rolls down my cheek "I don't want pity, that's why I won't tell you" I said, feeling vulnerable.

"I won't pity you, do you not know me? Just tell me" he said and something in his voice made me believe him, he was a cold person who lacked emotion, he probably wouldn't pity me or care and that's a good things, pity makes me upset, it annoys me.

"My dad abused me" I say bluntly before letting out a little sob, that's the first time I've every actually said it out loud to anyone other than Avery and it felt good to get it of my chest if I'm being honest.

I felt the hand that was still around my torso tighten and his jaw clench, but hen I looked into his usually emotionless eyes, I saw sadness, I saw he cared

"Thankyou for telling me" is all he said, his tone apologetic but he never pitied me, not for a second.

I nodded and started to cry, when he realised he pulled me into a tight hug, and I forgot that we were in the shower, I forgot he ambushed me, forgot that I was completely naked and I hugged him back.

What happened next, I didn't expect, he pulled away from the hug and crashed his lips into mine and I started to kiss him back lightly, there was a spark, the same feeling as when I kissed...Daniel

Oh no Daniel, aren't I with him or something, so wouldn't this class as cheating? I never said yes because he never actually asked me.

Did I like Daniel, maybe I liked Luke, no I can possibly like Luke, he's done nothing but torment me since I got here, so why am I kissing him whilst naked, in the shower...realisation hit

I'm naked

In the shower

Kissing Luke

I pull away from the kiss and jump out of the shower, grabbing my towel, wrapping it around me and running into my room, slamming my door behind me, I turn to see a confused looking Avery.

"Luke just kissed Me"
