“I’d love to take you out sometime.”
“Okay. I’d like you to take me out too.”
He pulls his phone out and hands it to me after unlocking the screen. “Put your number in for me.”
Our fingers touch but I don’t get that butterflies in my stomach feeling Killian awakens inside me. I push the negative thought away though. Hunter could give me those feelings too if I give him the chance.
My phone is in my car, but I promise him I didn’t give him a wrong number.
“I have to get going, but I’m going to be calling you soon and you’ll answer.”
“I will.” I nod. I walk with him out to the front yard. I need to grab my phone out of my car so I can text Hayley instead of having to search for her. We say goodbye and he gives me a small peck on the cheek before crossing the street and getting into his car and leaving. I reach down into my car to grab my phone to text Hayley and when I close my door Killian is standing behind me. I spin around bumping straight into his chest.
Chapter 13
Liri
“Do you kiss all your friends like that?” He says bitterly.
“Are you stalking me? It’s illegal.”
“Answer the question,” he demands.
Who does he think he is?
“Don’t. I don’t have the energy for it, Killian. Do you like me? Do you want to date me?”
“No,” he says the word fast without a thought.
“Exactly. So do us both a favor and stay away from me so I can find a guy who does want to take me out and won’t be ashamed to kiss me in front of his friends.”
His dark eyes burn into me searing me with their heat. “Is that what you want, Liri? You want me to leave you alone?” He’s standing too close, looking too damn cute in his leather jacket and dark jeans. The smell of his cigarettes and cologne washes over me.
I shudder as his fingers trail up and down my arm and his nose rubs along my jaw. His mouth is centimeters from mine. His lips touch the corner of my mouth and those stupid butterflies find me and I pull away.
“Stop it.” Tears burn in my eyes. “I’m not going to be another girl you fuck just for the sport of it. I know who you are and what you do, but I’m not like you, Killian. I feel. I care. I have a heart. You’re cruel and you don’t care who you hurt as long as you get what you want. I’m not going to play your games. Why don’t you run back to Jackie, I’m sure she’s free.”
He stares at me open mouthed and says nothing. His eyes narrow on my lips. My pulse rings in my ears again and my heart beats rapidly in my chest. He makes me crazy. I feel like I am losing my mind. I was kissing Hunter minutes ago, but I want nothing more than for Killian to put me out of my misery and kiss me. I shouldn’t want him to kiss me. I close my eyes and tell myself that when I open them again, he will be gone. I take a deep breath, and my lips part in invitation. I can’t seem to help myself where Killian is concerned.
His thick arm hooks around my waist and he pulls me to him. His teeth dig into my bottom lip and he bites me with a growl.
I gasp, opening my eyes, and pull on his unruly hair. Killian awakens something inside me. I don’t know what it is, but he knows exactly how to push my buttons. How to get what he wants but not this time. I swear I’m not going to kiss him back, but I can’t control myself.
His lips move against mine, his tongue hot and demanding tasting of grape bubblegum, thrusting inside my mouth dominating me. Our tongues slide together, and I moan into his mouth. Warmth pools in my belly as those freaking butterflies swirl like they might carry me away.
His kisses move down the column of my throat. His teeth nipping and sucking on my skin. He pushes his hand up my shirt and cups my breast over my bra.
“You still want me to leave you alone,” his voice grates over my ear, raw and desperate.
I close my eyes squeezing them tight, hating myself for loving the thrill of how he makes me feel. We both know how this will end though. If I don’t put a stop to this, I will give into him and he will break my heart when he tosses me to the side like every other girl who has been in his path.
I take two deep breaths and open my eyes.
Killian is staring at me with such hunger that my knees nearly give out. He makes me crave things I shouldn’t want. I swallow. “I want you to stay away from me.” My words come out weak, but the message is clear.
He nods at me once then storms to his car and takes off.
I’m shaking as I type a text out to Hayley.
