Clarissa Grayson Tate grew up in a wealthy home. From a far, her family looked perfect. To anyone who saw them in a picture or exchanged a few words with them at a party they were lucky enough to be invited to, they seemed like an annoyingly perfect...
"Nothing go away." I demanded pushing him away by his face but this encouraged him and he stepped closer to me.
I turn to look at him weirdly but his face is closer than I thought so I turn back around and ignore him. "It was right on the tip of your tongue. You've been fucking someone?" His voice was hard and angry. Almost.. jealous?
"Oh my god! That is so not your business Derek! Why would you even ask me that?"
"You have! Your face is red as fuck right now. My god how?! Who?! Issa-"
"Can you stop? Okay yes I've been having sex regularly but it's none of your business to know or ask that." I said my hands dropping to my sides in anger and balling into fists. He really has some nerve!
"Who?!"
"None of your business! God you seriously have absolutely zero bounda-"
"Will you two tampons stop shouting?! I'm trying to sleep in for a change!" River burst into the room with a very grumpy look twisting his pretty face.
"Shut up Axel. Everyone else is awake so why should you have special requests for us when no one else is complaining." I snap back, checking myself in the mirror one last time.
"Tampons? Is that really the best insult you can think of?" Derek mused which earned him a glare from River who grumbled and hit the door on his way out of the room.
I grab a few things ready to leave but I feel his eyes following my every move whilst not making any move to leave himself. He just plops right back down on the bed. I look at him only to look away as though looking at him burned me. His shirt rode up and the waistband of his jeans were pulled down slightly, giving me a good view of his perfect v-line and the slight trail of hair that led from his belly button and disappeared into his jeans. It's not fair that I have to worry about Emery's feelings while I'm being forced to be in a fake but very sexual relationship with someone that makes me nervous just by looking at me.
Besides worrying about those things, the girl in me is miserable with the knowledge that whatever happens with Derek... it won't be real. Every touch. Every smile. Every loving exchange won't be real. It's become more than just worrying how this will effect others. I'm absolutely terrified that my feelings for Derek will grow, only to end up having to force myself to hide them. I'm terrified that every first that I've wanted to have with him, that I will have with him is just for show.
"Ready to go?" I ask walking to the door only to be pulled back and pushed to the bed.
Before I can register what just happened, Dereks face is suddenly inches from mine. I gasp when his hands find mine and he laces his fingers with mine before pinning them on either side of my head. His body hovering over mine has my heart beating extremely fast and I'm worried my palms were starting to sweat. My face is burning and I can't help but glance between his beautiful eyes and his delicious lips.
"Is it serious?"
"What?" I say breathlessly. This is the closest we've ever been and I'm definitely not complaining. Hopefully he can't feel how fast my heart is racing.
"You and the guy you're fucking." He growls. "Is. It. Serious?" His leans down, leaving only centimeters between our lips. Our noses almost touching.
Is it? No Emery basically told me I could let myself go with the other guys and if it came down to it he'd let me go if my feelings no longer reciprocate his. On the other hand he's admitted having intense feelings for me. I care about Emery I really do. Am I sexually attached to him? Yes. Does he make me happy? Yes of course. But do I see myself in a long term serious relationship with him? ... I've never thought about it.
"No. I don't know.."I trail off as our noses brush and I smell his minty breath as it tickles my face.
"You don't know?" He asks moving closer, his eyes flicking from my eyes to my mouth. I shake my head, unable to speak.
I don't move as his lips barely brush my lips before he moves head swiftly to the side and he leaves a single kiss on the side of my sensitive throat. This is the first encounter I've had with a guy that has left me completely breathless and utterly speechless.
His lips drag up my throat slowly until he stops at my ear. "It's a yes or no question doll. Now let's try that again. Is it serious?" He whispers and my hands tighten in his.
"No." I whisper back, afraid my voice would betray me if say it any louder.
I gasp when his teeth graze my earlobe. "Good."
I'm left laying in the same position completely shocked when he was suddenly off me. The absence of his body on mine leaving me cold. I look at him and he holds a hand out for me. Pulling me up. I look at my phone when I remember we have school. Shit.
"We have to go. We're gonna be late!" I say without looking at him. His hand stops mine from grabbing my backpack.
"Doesn't matter. We aren't going today." He states as he makes his way to the door. As if he knew I wasn't following him, he turned around and raised a brow with an amused look on his face.
"Coming doll?" He crosses his arms and I force my eyes to stay on his eyes rather than his bulging arms that never failed to make me drool every time we trained.
I remember his comment about the stick in my ass and groan. Great. Just great. I'm letting this ass get to me. I need to learn how to act as though he doesn't. With that in mind I simply shrug and walk past him. Leaving my backpack as a show of compliance. His hand rests at the small of my back and I ignore my body screaming at me as I push it off.
"So where are we going point break?" I ask without looking at him.
"It's a surprise." He says and I can't feign boredom as I start to excite myself about what we're gonna do next. Off mission and disobeying instructions are two things I've not really done before so the fire in my veins is burning so bright that I'm sure I'm glowing at the thought of rebelling with Derek. I just hope this influence on me is because he's my friend...
