“I’d love for you to take the con on that, Mrs. Simpson. The PTA moms scare me.”
She looks heavenward, but I swear, I see her lips heave a little. “Call me this week.”
“Will do.”
Her eyes fall on Sienna then. “Don’t tell the other parents he’s overcharging cupcakes.”
Then she waltzes away with her mind on other things, other than my wanting to fuck her teacher in her classroom.
“That was slick,” Sienna quips under her breath. “You’retoogood at this.”
I steal a glance at her and smile. “You changed your mind yet?”
“You want to be a coach?”
“Why not?”
“Don’t you have your hands tied already with work and Heath?”
“I do. But I think it’d be fun. And…I’d be around the school more to see my favorite teacher.”
Her brown eyes fall directly to my lips, and that’s where she fucks up. I’m not above breaking rules, and she’s making it hard for me to stay away without coercing her in some way to put her career on the line for me.
“Don’t do that,” I lightly scold. “I told you I was going to behave but not when you’re openly flirting with me.”
Her gaze suddenly comes up, wide and not-so-innocent. “I’m not flirting.”
“You want to kiss me.”
“I’d do more than that, Mr. Wolfe.”
Fuck me.
“Such as?” I dare ask when I know I shouldn’t.
When I know…I’m pushing it. She’s pushing it. We’re both pushing these stupid rules we pretend we’re not going to break, but…we’re going to break the hell out of them.
Sienna blushes, and I provoke her with my eyes to call out that we both can’t handle this.
And, honestly, I’m selfishly not going to make it easy.
I want her, and I want her like I haven’t wanted something in a really long time. That feeling seems to overtake all rationality in my head. It doesn’t seem to care that it could end badly.
It just wantsher.
“Micah?”
My body instantly tenses at the soft mention of my name at my back. The way it hits my ears and the back of my memory bank for purchase on who it is.
A voice I haven’t heard in over five years calling my name.
Slowly, I turn around. Every hair on my arms is on end because…there’s just no fucking way I heard it right.
But there is.
I can never get the hell ahead anywhere.
I can’t have a relationship with a woman I’m hardcore enamored with because of her job, but I can deal with that.
