The car smells like her, and now my jacket does, too.
I secretly look at her while driving and see her typing something on the phone.
“Guess what?” she asks, smiling.
“What? You look happy? What happened?”
“Jeremy is coming home tomorrow, and I’m starving. Would you like pizza, Chinese, Thai, and Japanese? Wait...stay with me tonight too, right?”
I’m so happy that, without realizing it, I put my hand on her thigh. God, why did she wear shorts? She’s so damn sexy, and my brain goes off on its own. Her skin is so inviting, and knowing I can’t have her is even crueler.
I can’t make love to her, but I can still kiss every inch of her body, right?
Without realizing it, I caress her thigh, making small circles. I observe how her body reacts to my touch.
She has goosebumps, and her breathing gets heavier as she rests her head on the headrest.
“I love you, baby,” I say.
“Mmmm, you’re playing with fire. We can’t.”
“I know, love, but I want to try something.”
She turns to look at me.
“I promised nothing beyond your limits. When you want, I’ll stop,” I say.
“Okay, I trust you,” she says, smiling.
“Bad choice,” I reply, laughing “And it’s obvious that I’m staying with you tonight,” I say as I slow down.
The traffic light has turned red. I reach up to her and kiss her neck, lightly sucking the skin at the base.
“Mmm, Danny...” she sighs, panting. God, I have to stop. I’m getting into trouble, and my jeans are starting to fit tight.
She squeezes her legs. I put my hands back on the wheel, growling.
I notice that she’s biting her lip and smiling.
At least I know she wants me too, despite everything she says. What harm would it do to taste what we’ll be one day? None, right? Or it might just kill me or hurt her.
I hear her say something, but I can’t understand. From behind, a horn honks.
Fuck, it’s green.
I apologize to the driver in the back, as Hailey laughs.
“You’re too sweet when you’re lost in your twisted thoughts!”
“The fault is yours.”
“That you were thinking of me was obvious, but I don’t know exactly what you were thinking. Given the nervousness I perceive, your mind has gone into forbidden scenarios for us. I love knowing that you’re thinking about it, though.”
“You’re tremendous!”
“But you love me just as I am.”
I’ll never be able to prove to you how much…not now…God, what anger.
