Fuck.
I really need to think of something else because the last thing I want is to have a boner in front of my sister and these two jackasses.
My eyes narrow in Reed’s direction as I join Jazz on the couch, pulling her back into me. “Don’t answer that.”
Reed holds his palms out. “Wasn’t planning on it.”
My sister scoffs. “Idiots.”
Bent abandons their game of pool and takes the seat next to Jazz. He places a small bud in the bowl of his pipe and hands it to her. “Ladies first.”
“Such a gentleman.” Jazz wraps her lips around the mouthpiece, making me think about her wrapping her lips around my dick.
Shit. I’m doing it again. I squeeze Jazz, grinding my growing erection against her back to get some relief. She wiggles as she pushes into me before turning her head and winking.
I pinch her side and lower my mouth to her ear. “Don’t push me, Jazz. I’m this close to dragging you out of here.” I hold my index finger and thumb an inch apart to demonstrate.
“Put the club away, Caveman.”
Jazz attempts to pass the pipe to me, but I decline. If she keeps teasing me like this, we won’t be in this room much longer. If she wants to call me a caveman, I’ll throw her over my goddamn shoulder and show her a caveman.
“You’re going to pay for that later.”
“Bring it, babe,” she retorts.
I groan. This girl is always testing my patience and self-control. I’ve obviously become a masochist because I get off on the shit.
Big time.
CHAPTER SIX
JAZZ
Thanksgiving break went by way too fast if you ask me. I spent most of it at Kingston’s except for my shopping trip with Ainsley or my weekly date with Belle. I still can’t get over what Kingston has planned for Belle’s birthday. It was so hard not spilling the beans when I saw her yesterday. Kingston and I agreed to keep it a secret until we get there. I’ve never been to Anaheim, but he said there are Disney signs everywhere as soon as you get into town. Kingston thinks there’s still a good possibility it won’t register with her until we’re pulling the car through the gates, though.
Belle’s going to absolutely freak, and I can’t wait to see her reaction. And if I’m honest, I’m crazy excited myself. I already have a list of princesses we need to see, and I’m sure my sister will want to hit up some fairies too. It’s bittersweet in a way because I always thought if I did have a chance to go, it’d be with my mom and Belle, but I know our mom would want this for us. She loved Disney movies—hence, our names—so much so that she ensured Belle and I got to see as many as possible.
Whenever she saw a DVD at a yard sale, or if one was on clearance at Walmart, she’d add it to our collection. Every time we had a family movie night, odds were high we’d choose one of those. I’m glad Belle was able to take that collection with her to her dad’s house. Maybe one day, she can pass on the tradition.
“You ready to do this?”
I blink rapidly, taking in my surroundings. I was so lost inside my head, I didn’t even realize Kingston and I had pulled through the Windsor Academy gates.
I turn my gaze toward my boyfriend. “If I have to be.”
“At least we only have a few weeks until winter break.” Kingston’s eyes twinkle in amusement. They’re extra green today, with just tiny little flecks of gold. It always amazes me how drastically they change color. “Then, ten weeks until spring break and after that, just over two months before we’re out of this hellhole for good.”
I smile. “Not that you’re keeping track or anything.”
“Noooo. Not at all.” He smirks before his expression turns somber. “You know, I honestly didn’t mind school all that much before you came around.”
I scoff, crossing my arms over my chest. “Gee. Thanks a lot.”
He reaches over and untangles my limbs. “Not what I meant. It’s just that things were easy for me. I could go through the motions with minimal effort beyond classwork. Nobody got in my way; one day bled into another. It was actually a nice reprieve from all the bullshit I had to face with our dads after school.”
“What changed?”
“Since you’ve arrived... I’m hyper-alert all the damn time. At first, it was because you intrigued me, and I was trying to puzzle out what made you so different. Now, I’m constantly keeping an eye out for anyone who’d try fucking with you. And before you say it, I know you don’t need me to do that, but I can’t help it. That inner caveman of mine you love so much demands it. Plus, it’s pretty obvious you hate this place, and that doesn’t exactly give me the warm and fuzzies.”
