Page 60 of Truth or Dare

Presley turned onto her side, resting her cheek against my chest. She inhaled deeply, like she was taking me in. “You love me,” she whispered. “But how do I know you’re telling me the truth?”

I ran my fingers through her hair, letting the soft strands slide between them. “Because I’d never lie to you. Not about this.”

She stayed quiet for a moment, as if letting my words settle. “I missed you today.”

I raised an eyebrow, teasing. “I thought you were mad at me this morning.”

“I was,” she admitted with a small sigh. “But I got over it. I need you, and now you’re suspended until Monday.” Her voice carried a hint of sadness.

I smoothed my hand down her back. “You’re stronger than you think. Don’t let anyone—especially some jerk—make you doubt that.”

She nodded, her eyes serious. “I won’t.”

Without another word, I straddled her, slowly lifting her sweater over her head. Beneath was a black lace bra that made me pause, my breath catching. Her skin was soft and inviting, her nipples peeking through the delicate fabric. I traced circles around them with my thumbs, feeling her body respond to my touch.

Her lips curved in a smirk as she met my eyes, her cheeks flushed. “What are you thinking about?”

“The video,” I said, my voice low. “Why’d you make it?”

Her breath hitched as my fingers continued to tease her. She wet her lips, hesitating. “I was alone, couldn’t sleep... and I was thinking of you. I wanted to give you something.”

A low chuckle rumbled from my chest. “You gave me more than something—you gave me one hell of a hard time focusing.”

Her hands slid over my hips, and she pulled down the waistband of my boxers, a sly grin on her face. She let her fingers brush over me, tracing every inch until my breathing grew ragged. With a wicked glint in her eyes, she lifted her thumb, wet from the tip of me, and brought it to her mouth, savoring it.

“Presley…” I groaned, fighting to keep control.

She laughed softly. “Truth or dare?”

“Do you know how badly I want to fuck you right now?” I asked, voice thick with desire.

She groaned, her arms wrapping around my neck, her lips brushing my ear as she whispered, “Then don’t hold back.”

I spentmy three days doing homework, watching movies and trying to keep my mind off Presley until she came after school. Alex was still on his business trip and my mother had a photography session for a corporate brochure for the rest of the week. She wasn’t home until the evening.

I want to take you out to dinner and a movie.

Movie? Where?

Asterdale Drive-In. Halloween movies.

The local drivein had just opened up again this past summer and after Halloween, it would shut down for the season. Iloved horror films but we probably wouldn’t be watching them anyway. I just wanted to get out of the house after the boring week I had.

What’s playing?

Friday the 13th and Leprechaun.

Seriously?

You can pick the restaurant.

There’s a party at Doug’s house tonight.

Fuck that.I didn’t want to see the asshole jocks. I was friends with Doug, but I was in no mood for Evan’s shit. The football season was winding down and with the team with a fifty percent win record, they wouldn’t be going any further than the regular season.

Nope. I want you to myself.

You have me to yourself every afternoon. Perv.
