Page 89 of The Pinkie Pact

Turning to look at me, I couldn't believe how bright her expression was. "You did all this?" she asked.

Not able to breathe, I nodded as she reached out to cup my cheek in her cool hand.

"You are just..." She paused and shook her head. "Honestly, this is the sweetest thing anyone's ever done for me."

Trying to swallow my emotions, I stared at her and couldn't think of a damn thing to say. All coherent thoughts left my brain at the same time.

"Do you need some champagne?" she teased.

She didn't wait for my lame-ass response, just walked away, kicked off her shoes, and picked up the champagne bottle from the ice, the water dripping off into the bucket. Finally, I was able to move and stepped over to help her. But she was already popping off the cork like a pro. Quickly pouring two glasses, she handed one to me. I drank a huge gulp, then realized I should probably make a toast.

"I hate toasts," she said, taking a drink from her own glass then pulling over a chair.

"Me too," I admitted as I sat on the edge of the bed opposite her.

"I can't believe you did all this. You are so sweet," she said, staring at me like I was some kind of superhero.

Not able to handle all the craziness running through me, awkwardly, I stood up and lit the candles, turning off the other lights, trying to subtly set the mood. But also, I didn't want Sky to see me fully. Part of me wanted to hide in the flickering light from the candles.

When I was done, I sat back on the edge of the bed, facing her, champagne glass in hand. Wow, looking at her, she'd grown even more beautiful somehow. Her face was radiant in the dim light, and the look in her eyes blew me away.

"I just wanted to do something special," I said. "I mean, not that we have to do anything, you know, but I wanted some time alone with you. And my roommate, well, I have no clue what he's doing, and I still have to wash all my sheets and stuff. I mean, not that you would have wanted to stay there. But, well..."

Oh, God, I was babbling like the total idiot I was while she watched me the whole time, sipping away at her champagne, a smile on her face like she might burst out laughing at any time.

"You are so damn cute." She narrowed her eyes at me. "Do I make you nervous or something?"

I drained my champagne glass. "Not at all. Not even a little," I joked.

She laughed and set down her empty glass on the dresser. "I want to try something," she said, carefully pouring another glass for herself and then for me.

"What's that?" I asked, wondering what on earth was going to come out of that luscious mouth of hers.

Holding her glass, she sat down on the edge of the bed right next to me. She hesitated then turned her head toward me, her breath hot on my neck. "How do you think it would feel if I had a mouth full of champagne and then put my mouth around your hard—"

"Jesus, Sky," I burst out. Just the thought of that. Fuck. I couldn't even believe this girl.

"Only if you want to, of course," she said. "Or you could pour some on my stomach and suck it out of my belly button."

I shifted, already growing hard and uncomfortable.

"Or my chest and lick it off me..."

"Good Lord. Are you trying to kill me?" I asked, standing up, afraid I might explode just from the words coming out of her mouth.

"Sorry, not sorry?" She shrugged, a soft smile of concern on her face before she glanced away.

Reaching a hand out to her face, I lifted her chin so she'd look at me again. "You're just driving me crazy. In a good way."

"Oh," and her lips formed a perfect circle reminding me of... fuck. This was by far the most delicious kind of torture I'd ever experienced.

She stood up then and reached for my glass, putting them both down on the dresser. "Well, if that's the case," she said, "let's get a littlemorecrazy."

And then she was pushing her amazing body into mine, her lips inches away. But she teased me, holding her mouth back, making me wait as she stared at me, her eyes seeing right through me.

"I want you so much," she whispered.

Excuse me?Shewantedme? Had the world turned upside down? I'd never in my life had a girl say that to me.
