let go of my hand.
“Ellie, Gunner has told me a lot about you. It’s a real pleasure to meet you finally. ” He said as he smiled at me with a smile that would knock any girl off her feet.
I looked over at Gunner who was watching my every move. “All good things I hope. ”
Oh Christ what a stupid answer that was!
Jon threw his head back a little and laughed as he ran his hand through his blond hair. He was built but not as built as Gunner or Jefferson.
“Do you play football for UT also?” I asked as Gunner came up next to me and put his arm around my waist. I instantly felt the butterflies take off in my stomach and the heat from his touch pool in-between my legs. I was praying to God I was not blushing. For once I would like to not show it on my face what Gunner’s touch did to me.
Jon smiled at me and tilted his head while looking at me. What the hell? He looked down at Gunners hand resting on my waist then back up to me.
“No my dear I don’t play football for UT. I do however play baseball for UT. Do you like baseball Ellie?”
My dear??? Okay……why was it the way he spoke to me made me feel all weird?
“Um, I guess so but I really only ever watch football sorry. ” I said with a shrug of my shoulders.
Jon let out a laugh again and looked at Gunner. “Lucky son of a bitch you are. ” Then he looked at me again. “We might have to just get you to start liking baseball Ellie now won’t we?”
I just smiled; I didn’t really know what to say to that. Gunner leaned down and whispered against my ear if I wanted to step away and I nodded my head yes. All I wanted to do was get away from this guy. I wondered if Gunner noticed the way he was looking at me. This guy totally freaked me out!
Gunner took my hand again and led me to the one place I was not expecting to go…. his bedroom. My heart started to pound and my head started spinning. When he opened the door and led me in I felt like I was going to stop breathing.
OH. MY. GOD. NO! He didn’t think I was going to sleep with him did he. Before I could even open my mouth Gunner had me in his arms.
“Don’t think that Ellie sweetheart. I only brought you in here to give you a proper kiss in private. His ran his hand through my hair and then brought it up to the side of my face. He took the back of his hand and moved it up and down my face. All I could feel was a tingling sensation every where his hand touched. He then took both hands and cupped my face. He tilted my face up and smiled that crooked smile at me. I swear I felt my knees wobble. He leaned down and lightly brushed his lips against mine four times and it was driving me mad.
“More…. ”
I felt Gunner smile against my lips.
“More huh?” He asked as he let out a small laugh.
“Yes Gunner please…. . I need more. ”
The next thing I knew Gunners lips where back on mine and his tongue was seeking entrance into my mouth. I opened and allowed him in. He moved his hand to the back of my head and deepened the kiss so much it felt like all the air was being sucked out of my body. He slowly backed me up against the wall. Thank God because I needed something to assist me with standing before my legs buckled out from underneath me.
God I never wanted him to stop. The way he made me feel was unbelievable. I felt…. cherished. When he finally pulled his lips from mine I slowly opened my eyes to look at him. His beautiful blue eyes were looking down into mine. He slowly let a smile creep across his beautiful face. I couldn’t help but smile back at him.
“Was that better Ms. Johnson?”
I let out a giggle. “Yes…yes it was Mr. Mathews. You have successfully bewitched me. ”
Gunner took his index finger and traced my jaw line and then ran it over my lips. My whole body trembled and the ache between my legs grew stronger. All I wanted to do was squeeze my legs together to ease the ache.
“I’m glad to hear I have you bewitched sweetheart. I thought for a moment someone else might be trying to do the same thing. ” He said as he tapped my nose with his finger.
He did notice and that was why he brought me in here! I wanted to throw myself into his arms again and beg him to kiss me once more. I wanted to forget all about some guy flirting with me right in front of him. All I wanted to see was Gunner’s beautiful eyes looking into mine.
“You ready for a party?”
“Only if you promise to keep your dance card open for me all night. ” I said with a smile.
“Done!” Gunner grabbed my hand and led me to his bedroom door. He spun me around and slammed me back against the door and kissed me deeply again. He pulled his lips from mine and I gasped for air.
“That is so you don’t forget who has you bewitched. ” He said with a wink. I stepped away from the door so he could open it. My head was spinning again but this time in a good way. As we walked out from Gunner’s room and through the living room I felt eyes watching us. I looked over to the kitchen and Jon was watching Gunner and I walk by. The way he was smiling felt like he was trying to look into my soul and it sent a shiver down my back. I quickly turned my head and looked up at Gunner who was smiling from ear to ear and leading us outside to the music.
