Fire In Her Eyes (2 page)

I’ve had enough of this so I get up and run out of the house. I don’t stop till I’m at my car. I reach to open the door but I realize it’s locked and my keys are in my house. “UGH!” I scream.

“Hey, some of us are trying to be quiet around here. Some of us have to work at night and sleep during the day.” I flinch after hearing his voice. Just like the rest of him, it’s sexy as hell. But what comes out of it makes me want to hit him.

“I’m sorry. If I woke your mom up I’ll go over and apologize.” I’m so upset with my dad that I can’t even come up with something nasty to say to him. I even think I’m crying. Shit, that’s the last thing I need him to see.

“Okay, have you been taken over by an alien? I think you just said you were sorry to me.” I remember too late about my tears and look up and him. His face softens and I think my heart just fluttered. “Why are you crying, Harley?”

I shake my head and turn away from him. “It’s nothing. I think you will find out soon enough.” I wipe my hands under my eyes clearing as many tears as I can. I’m not one to cry and it’s really annoying that I’m doing it in front of Spencer.

“Oh, God! Tell me it’s not so. Please, tell me my mom is not screwing your dad!” I turn around and find him pale as a ghost.

“Yup. My dad is screwing your mom. Welcome to the family brother,” I smirk. There’s one thing that will always make me feel better: a look of terror on Spencer Grady’s face.

“This is the most twisted thing I have ever heard. I think I might throw up.” He places his hands on his knees and I almost feel sorry for him.

“Well, sweetie, it gets even better. Your mom is selling her house and moving in to our house. In one week, to be exact. Guess you’ll be stuck with me all summer.” I pat him on the back and walk toward my house.

“Harley,” I pause at my name and turn to face him, “it will be a pleasure to share a house with you. Now, when you’re not home, I can take all your bras and panties and tie them to the flag pole at town hall.” He grins real big, showing off his dimples. Damn, I always underestimate him.

“Don’t you fucking touch any of my things. Do you hear me?” I’m getting pissed now, only because I know this is something that he would do.

“Oh, I hear you. I’m just not going to listen. I do believe that I owe you one, seeing as you got the last laugh with the Velcro on my graduation gown.” He still has that shit eating grin on his face and I cringe. We have an ongoing prank war, which started in the fourth grade when he threw fake spiders on my tray at lunch and I freaked out.

I remember graduation day so well. I ordered a special gown offline that was held together with Velcro. When the day came to give out gowns I switched his with the one I bought. I had heard a rumor that he was going to go naked under his gown. We were all sitting on the stage since our class wasn’t very big, and I grabbed the gown when he passed me. He stood there in all his naked glory in front of everyone. It didn’t even faze him. He just plastered on a grin, wrapping the gown around his lower body and accepted his diploma.

Needless to say, when I got hot and bothered at college, I had a little fun with my toys thinking of Spencer’s body. The first thing that my eyes had landed on was his nice firm ass. His back was just as nice with a few freckles and a lion tattooed on his left shoulder blade. I had the sudden urge to lick it. When he got back from getting the diploma, I got a great look at the front and nearly died of a hot flash. His abs are well defined and his chest is broad and hard. I had another urge and it wasn’t only to lick him.

Now I
am
scared. I walk right up to him and push my index finger into his chest. “Don’t you threaten me, Spencer. I’ll tell everybody, including your mom, how you lost your virginity.” He goes pale and I thank God I had this little piece of information.

Spencer

She couldn’t know about that. Mary wouldn’t have told anybody. “You’re bluffing. You don’t know anything.”

She gives me an evil grin and I feel my knees become weak. “Oh, I know. You pissed Mary off and I paid her well to tell me and no one else.”

I lost my virginity in the back seat of my mom’s car when I was fourteen. Mom had been riding to work with a friend to save gas. So I took it one night and picked up Mary. We headed out to the Cove Woods, where all the kids parked. Now, let me tell you that Mary is a freak. Not only did she tie me up and spank me, she left me tied and slid herself on my dick after sucking it to hardness. When it was all over, I told her she was a fucking freak and practically shoved her out of the car when we got back to her house. No one knows that story. Not even Dean.

“You wouldn’t dare.” Yeah, I have nothing for that. I’m so pissed right now. And honestly, I have no idea what came over me after what happens next.

Her gorgeous face gets the cockiest look on it and I want to smack it right off of her. Instead, I grab her upper arms and pull her against my chest. My dick twitches when her erect nipples rub up against me. The next thing I know my lips are on her full ones and my tongue is slipping into her mouth. I honestly didn’t expect her to kiss me back, but her tongue curls with mine and I groan. I move my hands down her back and cup her ass in my hands. The moan she lets out and the feel of her perfect ass in my hands has my dick more than twitching. I feel her hands start to roam. She runs them up my back under my shirt and back down again. She keeps doing this and I shiver as I devour her mouth. I feel like I could sink into her and never come up again. All of a sudden, she’s not touching me anymore. She’s pale, looking at me horrified and I feel my face mirror hers. “Don’t tell anyone!” We exclaim at the same time, and quickly walk away from each other.

The kiss couldn’t have been more than ten seconds, but it felt like forever. I can’t believe that I kissed Harley Maxton. The girl who snuck in my house and put fire ants in my bed in the seventh grade or who cut the butt out of my gym shorts in the tenth grade. We have always been at each other’s throats and I can’t wrap my head around what just happened.

I walk into my house in a daze. I can barely hear my mom talking to me as I head to my room. “Not now, Mom,” I say to her.

“Yes, now!” She yells at me and I turn toward her. “We need to talk right now.”

“I already know that you and Mr. Maxton are screwing. I ran into Harley, who was pretty upset about it. She said we would be moving in with them in a week. No need to talk. I don’t like it, but if I want somewhere to sleep this summer I’ll have to go along with it.” I nod and head to my room still in a daze.

It had to be the tears. That’s the only reason I can think of. I guess she finally looked like a human being to me. I’ve always seen the bitchy and cool façade that she uses in front of anybody she’s not close to. I’ve always thought she was hot, but I guess this made her look normal. I kind of wanted to wipe those tears away from her gorgeous face and hold her to me.
 
Yeah, it’s going to be really hard to keep my hands to myself now that I know what she feels like up against me. I have spent most of my teen years jacking off to images of her in my head.

I have no idea why I’m having these thoughts. She pisses me off to no end. Always has something smart to say. She thinks she is better than everyone except her little posse. I can’t believe that I kissed her. I’m such a fucking idiot. She’s never going to let me live it down. Well, two can play that game. Not only did she kiss me back, she let out those sexy little moans when I grabbed her ass.

I do believe things just got interesting.

Chapter 3

Harley

“Can I tell you something without you freaking out completely?” I ask my friend Lucy.

“Sure. I’m all ears,” she nods.

“I kind of sort of made out with Spencer Grady the other day.” I cringe as the words leave my mouth.

She doesn’t say anything, so I turn to look at her. Her mouth is shaped like an O and her brown eyes are huge, giving the impression of a deer caught in headlights.

“Yeah, that’s kind of the reaction Paige and Carter had.” I keep staring at her, hoping she will say something soon. I hope she doesn’t have the same response as my other two friends.

“I’m surprised that you let him get that close to you. I’m not surprised that it happened.” Damn,
of course
she said the same thing they did!

“Why aren’t y’all surprised that we made out? I mean we
do
hate each other,” I huff.

“Well, for one, you two have been looking at each other like you want to rip the other’s clothes off since, I don’t kno
w, the 8th grade?.” She looks at
me with
a hopeful expression; hopeful
that I won’t blow up on her.

“We have not. I can’t believe that everyone thinks we have the hots for each other.” I glare at her and punch one of the pillows on my bed.

“You do have the hots for each other. Carter, Paige, and I have been placing bets on when you t
w
o would finally hook up. Carter is winning.” She smiles at my hateful look and goes on, “She didn’t think it would happen till this summer. She almost lost because he wasn’t supposed to be back.”

“I wish he hadn’t come back. I’m happy for my dad, and everything, but I have to live in this house with Spencer because of it. This will be the longest three months of my life.” I fall back on my bed, staring up at the plastic glow in the dark stars I put on the ceiling years ago.

Lucy lies down beside me before speaking. “It’s not that bad, Harley. At least you will have his hot body to enjoy the whole time.” I face her and she waggles her eyebrows.

“Gross! He doesn’t have a hot body. All that’s good looking about him is washed away when he opens his mouth,” I tell her, hoping she doesn’t see through my lie.

“Just admit that you liked kissing him. It turned you on,” she says after propping her head on her hand.

“Ugh, yes, I liked it. I liked far more than I ever thought I could. He got all close and personal with it, made me feel like he was trying to devour me.” I shiver at the memory of our ten-second, heated kiss.

“Hun, that’s what kissing does, makes you get all close and personal,” she says to me.

“Duh, I know that. That’s not what I meant. When other guys have kissed me, they left space between our bodies. Spencer didn’t do that. He pulled me into his chest before his lips even touched mine. Then he grabbed my ass and pulled me even closer.” I have never liked to be man handled, so when he did that I was surprised how hot it made me.

“Wow, that’s really awesome. I would love to be grabbed up like that and devoured.” She gets this faraway look in her eyes. “Mason Hebert kissed me before you got home from college. It was amazing, but he didn’t do what Spencer did.”

“Mason Hebert? As in: the really hot skater dude that never talks?” My face pinches up in confusion as I look at her.

“Yeah, he doesn’t talk a lot…really, at all. It was totally weird, too. Not bad weird, good weird. I ran into him with my car while he was skating across the street. It was totally my fault, mind you. He just sat there and stared at me when I got out to check on him. So, I started getting angry, you know, because he wouldn’t answer me. I yelled at him and I almost cussed him out, but he pulled me down on top of him. I was so shocked, it didn’t even register that his lips were on mine till I felt his tongue in my mouth. You know, you wouldn’t think it, but he’s really cocky. He said ‘I’m better now’ when it was over. Then helped me off the ground and skated off. I swear, I sat there with this dumbass look on my face for ten whole minutes.” She nods her head at the end for emphasis.

“Wow that is weird. You should totally show up at his house and bang his brains out. He wants you,” I tell her with a chuckle.

“I’ll go to his house and bang his brains out if you bang Spencer.” Oh shit, now I’m in trouble. You can’t back down from a bet with Lucy for anything.

“No, Lucy, I’m not going to bang Spencer. I would end up with an STD or something.” I hope she sees reason in my answer.

“No, you will. Before the summer is over, you will have slept with him. You need to get laid. I know you didn’t while you were at college and Ted’s family moved off to Texas or something so you can’t call him,” she smirks.

When I was a senior in high school, I got tired of being the only virgin. Well…besides Paige. So I made a “friends with benefits” deal with Ted. We didn’t do it a lot, but he was nice to call when you really needed to scratch an itch. “I know they moved. I talk to him on Facebook.” Ugh, she is trying to talk me into sleeping with Spencer. “I’m not going to do it with Spencer just because I’m horny. I can’t stand the guy at all.”

“Even better; No strings attached. Just tag him and bag him and leave in the morning. If you have no emotions toward him other than lust and hate it won’t be hard to shut the door in his face later.”

I’m starting to see her logic. If I don’t care about him, then I can just walk away later and not have to even think about it again. This could actually be fun.

I hear the front door crash in and male voices. I get up to go investigate. My room is at the back of the house and I travel down the long ha
llway to the living room.
Spencer is standing in the doorway of my house with no shirt on, covered in sweat. Lucy walks up beside me and I say, “Yeah, I’m going to bang him.”
