Amelia's povI sprinted, my lungs burning, my mind racing just as fast or probably faster than my feet were going. Raiden had ignited a firestorm of chaos within me that made each step I took further away from him, echo into my mind.Shaking off the feeling of his touch, his lips on mine, the taste
Amelia's povIt's been hours since the kiss with Raiden happened. Hours since his lips had touched mine. But it feels as if it had only happened a few seconds ago.Every now and then my lips would tingle, reminding me that he had been there. It's crazy that after eating some snacks, asking Foster fo
Amelia's povHis words. They shouldn't be affecting me this much. With my breath snagged and my pulse racing I remain completely still, scared that I will fall into his trap once more."What are you talking about Raiden," I gripped the mop hard, my fingers shaky. He's too close. Way too close. Let go. Let go. Tell him to let go.He chuckled low and it sent shivers down my spine like a lick of fire. "For someone who's tough and bold, are you about to play the dumb card right now?" He press closer. "You know what I mean Amelia. You know I want you."A sharp gasp escaped my lips and the mop in my hold drops to the floor with a loud smack. "That kiss earlier has haunted my thoughts ever since. I want more and more."I swallowed hard, my heart thrumming against my chest. I don't understand why he's affecting me this much when I still hate him for what he did. He's a bad person. An asshole.Step away Amelia. He's bad news like Foster had warned.I don't know how but I found enough power to
Amelia's povI was surprised to see Dad outside, his arms crossed over his chest as he leaned against the humming vehicle. I winced. I hadn't told him about what I had done or the punishment. I frowned. The principal had called him after all. Spotting me instantly he pushes off the vehicle, glaring down at me as I approach. " I thought we talked about this Amelia? And this time you messed with Raiden?" I rolled my eyes, walking around the hood to the passenger's side. " He started it and he's an ass. Not because he's your boss's son doesn't mean I have to like him." I grumble under my breath as I settle in the seat, buckling up myself securely. Dad sighed heavily as he buckled himself in, his expression tight with frustration and concern. " Amelia, you can't just go about and picking fights, especially not with Raiden. You don't have to like him but please don't look for any trouble." My stare harden as I looked out the window and my eyes land on him across the parking lot. He's a
Amelia's povI hesitated. My lower lip pressed between my teeth hard as my mind race. Why was he here? At this hour in this weather? I sighed. As much as I hate the guy, well pretend to loathe him to the deepest parts of me...I couldn't have him outside in this kind of storm. I reach forward and opened the door a crack, then another when his scent wafted in with the gust of the wind. I embarrassingly took a whiff in, hoping it didn't show on my face. " Raiden?" I said in a clipped tone. " What are you doing on my front porch in this kind of weather?" I asked sarcastically. There must be a good enough reason for this teenage boy to be so soaked on my porch. His hair clings to his forehead, dripping wet. His shirt, everything clings to him like a second skin. I don't want to be caught staring at his toned body so I rip my eyes away and look behind him. A huge mistake when lightning strikes sharply. I hold my breath. " Come in," I rushed, not wanting to see the storm. Why does this g
Amelia's povAlarm bells ring in the back of my head when his question flutters over me. This is what a creepy stalker would ask, a murderer, someone who comes to collect everything bad would ask....and those alarm bells in the back of my mind are not because I fear his question...It's because I am now instantly aware that my response will shift something in this room. Telling him yes would mean that I am admitting that the guy who seems to set me on fire is alone here with me...in my home. Alone. Breaths apart. Put some fucking distance Amelia. I step back, his eyes pin me down. " No, Dad is," I swallowed, now so aware of how alone I really am in this house with Raiden. " Asleep in his room," the lie wasn't smooth because my damn voice shook. And I believe he took note of it. Of course, he did. Raiden was a guy who didn't let anything pass him, clearly. His eyes cloud over, but the emotion is hard to read. Like always it's hard to read. But so are mine because I can hide things
Amelia's povHe was right and I hated it. I despise it. I despise him. My body had betrayed me, revealing what I was fighting so hard to not show him. I clench my hands into fists, trying to gain back my control. Oh, how I hated him. I shot him stares of anger and annoyance and he returned it with amusement and burning desire. He clicked his tongue and purposely let his knuckles brush against the top of my cleavage. I suck in a very sharp breath, my eyes widening as such a simple action pushes heat between my legs. The storm was raging outside, but it seems inside had a storm of its own. One that includes both me and him. I don't know where I got the courage from but I managed to smack his hand away, feeling my skin flush with heat. " Don't touch me!" I snapped and pointed an accusing finger at his chest. The wet shirt really shows how toned he was. Dammit Amelia, focus. " I don't even care why you're here anymore but you should leave, I don't want you here and I don't want you
Amelia's povThe darkness envelops us like a black sheet, the storm outside competing with the raging one I had inside me as his strong arms encircle around me protectively. I hadn't meant to jump in his arms....clearly. But I find myself here, showing him yet another weakness of mine. I want to scream in annoyance at myself. Why do I keep showing Raiden my weaknesses? It's not good that the school's bully knows my weak spots. The air around us grew ragged and thick, the rumbling of thunder and the strong whistle of wind threatening to shatter the windows only adding to the atmosphere. I am aware of every inch of him I am pressed to. Feel his heat through his wet clothes, scorching me like fire. My heart pounded and I am happy that in this dark he couldn't see the flush I knew I had on my cheeks. " Put me down," I demanded, yet my arms were still around him and my legs made no move to untangle around his waist. I can feel every inch of him. Every hot hard inch. " You're the one w
