Chapter 16 Bailey's pow Heel my checks grow even hotter as I realize what he was talking about . " … I don't know what you're talking about " I stutter , taking another step back from him. But he followi , closing the gap between us once again . " Don't play games with me , flower . His hand teaches out to gently touch my arm , sending shivers down my spine My eyes widen , my heart leaping Soon it began to race as I tried to come up with a response . Kaleb's gaze was so intense that couldn't think properly . The memory of last night , of what we had done , came rushing back to me . It was a blur , but I remembered his touch , his lips on my skin , the way he made me feel Ishuddered . " Kaleb , " I whispered , praying that his parents would come to help me by entering the house Kaleb peers into my eyes intensely , so intense that it felt like he was looking right into my soul . I bit my lip nervously , unsure of what to say , Kaleb took a step closer , his body now pressed against mine . His hand went to the small of my back , polling me closer to him . " Answer me , Bailey , " he whispered , his breath hot against my skin . " Was it you ? " I'm breathing roughly , trying to ignore the way he was currently making me feel . At any second now his parents would walk through that door . And the second I thought that , the door opens . I jump away from Kaleb before they could see our very intimate position I flushed under the weight of his stare and moved away from him to avoid feeling the way I do now . Theard the shocked gasp from his mom followed by his father yelling his name . " Kaleb Reccel " Kaleb winced and scratched his head . A few minutes after the Reece's loud lecture , Kaleb , Mira and I were forced to clean up the entire house until it was clean . Mira wiped her eyebrow " I can't believe I listened to you Kaleb ! " She huffed , back slouched in exhaustion . It was rather hilarious seeing as Mira had one trash bag and it was barely filled . Which meant she barely actually cleaned up anything , Kaleb and I were doing most of the work . Though , it should really be him doing all work . He was after all the host of that damn party last night . " More work and less talking ! ing Mira ! " Her mom scowled across the room , sent her kids a glare and walked to the back . I bit my lip to stiffly my laugh when Mira groaned in frustration . " You act like you're actually doing anything lazy ass . " Kaleb grumbled , sending her an invitated stare . Chapter 16 Oh no . They were going to go at it . I winced inwardly , preparing myself to beat the sibling hanter . I counted the seconds until they would . Five . Four . Three " Shut the fuck up Kaleb ! You're the one who wanted to party , you fucking imbecile ! " Mira parted buck making me close my eyes and wince . Ten minutes into their argument , their dad finally in made them it call truce " I'll start upstairs . I told them and made my way up the stairs . As I make my way through the mess of the party , my mind wanders back to last night . The way Kaleb's hands moved over my body , the way his tips f on mine . I shake my head , trying to clear my thoughts as I started picking up the trash . Bending over , I winced and murmured the word ouch . I'm still sore down there . " Still sore ? " The sudden sound of his voice just behind me made my heart jump in my throat . I yelped a little , straightening my spine and whipping around with wide eyes . I didn't hear when he sneaked up , too busy in my thoughts to have heard the sound of his footfalls . He stood there , leaning against the wall , a crooked smile playing on his lips . He chuckled and pushed off the wall , holding his hands up in surrender , one clasping a trash bag . er ," he said , a hint of amusement in his voice . " Sorry , didn't mean to startle you there flower ," I tried to play it cool and rolled my eyes . " Sneaking up on me Kaleb ? " I huffed , turning around and continuing to pick up the trash and throw it in the bag My ears picked up p on the sound of his hearing footfalls and my heart sped . I straightened when I felt his heat behind me . He was close . Too close . I swallowed and turned around . I was right he was so close . His sudden presence was overwhelming , and I could feel the heat radiating from his body . And the way his eyes bored into mine so deeply . I took in a shaky breath and took a step back then another . I felt the wall against my back as he approached me and knew that i was One of his hand plaster on the wall , just beside my head . " Kaleb , " I whispered as my heart leaped . His blue eyes set me on fire as he watched me intensely . " You shouldn- I stopped when his thumb is suddenly on my cheek , brushing against it softly I closed my eyes , feeling his touch ignite a fire within me . Chapter 16 He leaned in closer , his breath hot against my ear . " Don't play innocent now , not when you said all those things last night . His words made me peel my eyes open quickly and the realization hit me , I can't believe Etting right into his trap . I smacked his hand away from my face and shifted to the side to get away from him . " don't know what you're talking about to busy myself picking up the trash . Kaleb chuckled darkly , knowing fully well that I was lying straight out of my mouth . He followed after me . Ignawed on my lips .. " Don't lie to me , Bailey . You're not very good at it . " I could feel his eyes burning into my back and I continued to avoid his gaze . " Just leave me alone , Kaleb , " I muttered , my voice barely above a whisper . He stopped closer to me , his hand reaching out to grab my wrist . " I can't do that , flower , You know that as well as I do that I can't . Not after last night . " I whipped around to stare at him in shock . His blue eyes connected with mine quickly . I tried to pull away from him , but his grip was too strong . I could feel my heart racing as I looked up at him , his blue eyes piercing into mine . " Let me go , Kaleb , " The words came out like a shaky breath from my throat . " I am speaking the truth . It wasn't me . " His grip tightened , his gaze darkened . " Not until you confess to me Bailey . Not until you admit you were the one I was fucking last night . " I lowered my gaze , whispering without confidence , " I wasn't . " I denied . Kaleb snorted . " Come on flower , lying really isn't your strong suit . Besides , I know most certainly no other girl would feel as good as you did last night . " Then he lowered his head , his lips near my ear as he whispered . " Or taste as good . "
