15 Amelia's pov I closed my eyes tightly when his voice brushed against my ears . A small voice , mine , repeated words of hope that it really wasn't the hottest boy , I mean most annoying boy in school standing before me . That I hadn't just walked in on him half naked . But as my mind trapped me in my own body , I had failed to realize that the six feet giant was now looming over me with his broadness until I took a strong whiff of his aftershave , feel his heat and hear the soft knock of his palm hitting the wood behind me . My eyes peeled open and green trap me instantly . Drowning , my throat closed up . Raiden is standing , well leaning over me with his impressive height and stunning physique . I try to ignore how a water droplet tickle closer to his lips . And ignore the look in his eyes . This isn't helping . Butterflies flap their wild wings up my ribcage and kickstart fast beats in my heart . " I- The words trapped in my throat along with my heart when he leans closer , his eyes zeroed in on my own . My heart thrums and my palms grow sweaty . A while ago I had been battling the memory of my mother , the last memory of her . And now I am battling something different . Raiden seem to enjoy seeing me so tongue tied , so bendable and I hated it . Schooling my features and straightening my spine , I ignore the flutters going wildly in my stomach and focus on not fawning over the teenage boy . " My dad brought me along with him to dine with your family . I was searching for the bathroom and accidentally stumbled inside here . The last thing I want is to be in a room with you alone . " The last thing I want is to be in your presence knowing my body betrays me every single time . Raiden's brow arched amused and his tongue tip out to lick the water drop that teased his upper lip . " I don't know spitfire , kind of seems like a farfetched story . " My eyes narrowed . " Believe what you want , I don't care . " My breath hitched when his finger curl in the neckline of my shirt and tugged it away from my skin a little bit . A little bit enough to make my body hum His eyes searched my face intently . " In my head you're dressed only with this on and a thong , on your knees and my fist in your hair , holding and tugging . Do you still want me to believe what I want ? Or will you tell me the truth before I turn my thoughts into reality ? " My heart pounds hard and I am a loss for words . His words should not have caused that part between my legs to sing and beg for him , but it did . It embarrassingly did , which is why I can't think of a way to look so neutral But then his lips curved into that charming smirk once more and he chuckle , tugging the shirt teasingly " Calm down , I'm only joking " I bit my tongue to bring feeling back into my body and rolled my eyes to look unaffected With my palms on his chest , I pushed , ignoring the feeling of my skin touching his But his fingers band around my wrists and he holds me there firmly I swallowed " Even at home and you're still annoying Let me go " He ignores my words and looked at me silently for a few seconds before he opened his mouth to question " Are you okay ? You left early today after " he trails off , seeming to want to be cautious with his wording lignore the flutters in my belly , and ripped iny gaze away from the sea of green that entrapped me " After your girlfriend tried to humiliate me ? I'm just peachy I'll give you your hoodie back as soon as i have washed it 17 I return my gaze to his when I felt his fingers squeeze around my wrists more firmly . " She's not my girlfriend . " The harshness in his voice took me back . Seeing my surprise he softened his voice . +25 BONUS " Also , keep the hoodie . It looks better on you than it did on me anyway . " The sincerity in his eyes made me feel funny . I hated feeling funny when I was with him . The wild butterflies create havoc in my stomach . I gulped . This is why I didn't want to stay in a room with him alone . I knew he was a bully , and annoying but my body and heart refuse to cooperate with that tiny little voice in my head that reminded me that he was trouble . " Cliche , " I snorted , pretending to not be fazed . " Do you tell all the girls that after you bed them ? " His thick brows furrowed . " You have a bad idea of me in that pretty little head of yours spitfire . I am not who you think I am . I scoffed , trying to tug my hand out of his steel like hold . " You're exactly who I think you are . I know guys like you Raiden . And I want nothing to do with you . " I gasped when he suddenly dipped his head , the tip of his nose touching mine . I could do nothing but stand completely still and frozen , my heart somewhere either in my throat or stomach . I honestly didn't know where it dropped or skipped up to . With narrowed eyes , he stared deep into my soul . " Too late for that Amelia . I want everything to do with you and soon I'll get what I want . "
