Ryan

I hate games, and I’m done with this party. When I hear someone scream about truth or dare starting in the main room, I decide that this is my cue to leave, but my eyes catch Liza bulldozing her way to the circle with Violet on her arm. You don’t care, Ryan.

Instead of walking out the door and to my car, I find myself heading the opposite way in a direct line to trouble. I find a spot outside of the actual circle. They know better than to ask me to join in. After a few classic dares, I hear Savannah’s venomous voice ask Violet, “New girl, truth or dare?”

I hardly hear Violet’s response before red takes over my eyes. Savannah’s next words dare Violet to kiss Locke. Of course she would. Savannah has been in love with Hartley since freshman year, and she throws herself at him at every party. That’s why she’s wearing what she’s wearing tonight. It’s pathetic. She was threatened by Violet the minute she walked through the door tonight by Hartley’s side. In her mind, Violet is enemy number one because of how much attention Hartley gives her. Wait until she finds out they live together. Savannah has nothing on Violet, and she knows it.

In typical bratty girl fashion, she asserts her female dominance by putting the hottest girl in the room on the spot. Savannah can tell that Violet is shy–anyone could. It’s written all over her face. Thank God for Liza. She’s the best, and I hope Violet sees that, too. She knows how to stand up for herself and put other girls in their place. I’m close enough to hear her whisper that she would take the dare instead. Knowing Liza, that’s a big deal. Locker room stories have a way of gaining traction, and I’ve heard my fair share of Liza and Locke’s situationship drama. He broke her heart a time or twenty in the past year.

Violet gets up and walks towards Locke. Locke towers over her and looks thrilled with a stupid grin plastered across his face. Violet is a smoke show, and he is going to brag about this for weeks in practice–the biggest dirtbag on the team. He talks–a lot. Where is Hartley when you need him because this wouldn’t be going down this way if he were in the room?

Locke’s fingers thread through the small loops of her shorts, and I lose it. Before I can stop myself from doing something insane, I shove Locke out of the way. His hands don’t belong on her waist. Mine do. Her eyes shoot open, and without hesitation, I kiss her with a reckless force. When her lips connect to mine, my brain short circuits, and I can’t stop myself even if I try.

I note every inch of her body on mine. The way she leans into me shows how perfect our bodies fit with each other. Her skin is soft and tender. She tastes like vanilla, and I can’t get enough. I slide my hands up her back and rub circles around the skin right above her waist with my course thumbs. I need to stop touching her, or I’m going to throw her over my shoulders and take her to the nearest bedroom.

My hands leave her waist and follow a trail up to her warm neck as I deepen the kiss even further. She grants me access to her perfect mouth with a small sigh. Goosebumps rise on her warm arms, and I graze each one. I smirk slightly knowing her body is responding to my touch. For someone who’s so timid and jumpy, she doesn’t appear that way right now.

I finally break away from her tender lips and get lost in those icy blue eyes. She’s breathing heavily, and I’m holding her arms. I tilt my head gently against hers to get my thoughts together. My mind has completely left my body, and I know I’m in trouble. My body never responds to a girl like that. I don’t feel kisses ripple through my chest like dynamite. This isn’t me. I don’t make abrupt decisions and bulldoze.

Like the jerk I am, I dash away from her to the door and hustle to my car–slamming it closed without looking back. I’m hoping no one follows. I crank the air to full blast, cooling myself down from the overcrowded party and unexpected makeout session with the one girl I was supposed to stay away from. Drawing attention to myself is something I try to avoid at all costs, so I need to leave before I barge into her space, yet again. I may do something even more stupid than I already have.
