Page 7 of Twisting You

Chapter 3

“Don’t do it, Cho,” Dan shot at me as I ripped my top off, the night air whipping around my body. Grinning widely, I undid the buttons to my shorts.

“You’re going to regret this,” he said tauntingly, while shaking his head slightly and clenching his beer in his hand. We stood on the beach in the middle of the night.

Hurling my shorts at him, I darted off into the ocean. Underwear was like a bikini. Oh, screw it, who cares!

The water whipped up my legs. It was refreshing and cold at the same time. I turned my head over my shoulder and looked at Dan as he stood on the edge of the beach with his jeans rolled up to his knees. He smiled at me as he took a sip from his beer. “You coming in?” I raised an eyebrow.

Shaking his head slightly “You’re a tease, Cho.”

Smiling widely, I said, “I’m not teasing.” I walked deeper into the water. It was now around my waist.

“You’re going to regret this in the morning, you know?”

Shrugging my shoulders, I took another step back into the water. It was now up to my collarbone. The ocean was still, with only small ripples of waves.

Reaching to my back I unclasped my bra, pulling it down my arms. I tossed it in the direction of the shore, not caring if I couldn’t find it later. Cocking my head to the side and smirking at Dan, I said, “So you still want to wait on the shore?” I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face.

Sighing, he shook his head and dropped the empty bottle into the sand. Reaching to the hem of his shirt, he ripped it off. The moonlight flicked across his toned chest. He unbuckled his jeans and they dropped to the sand. He began to walk into the water. “Shit, it’s cold!”

Laughing slightly, I splashed a hand full of water at him. Droplets splattered across his skin. He narrowed his eyes at me, smirking as he pushed through the water.

Laughing, I dodged his arms. But then he caught my leg, laughing as he wrapped his arms around my waist. “Payback is a bitch, ya no.” His hot breath tickled the back of my neck.

Shivering, I pushed back into his chest and turned in his arms. His eyes locked with mine. He pushed a wet strand of hair out of my face. “You sure you want to do this, Cho?”

His eyes were intense as he watched me, thinking we were most likely about to make a mistake. Closing my eyes, I brushed my lips across his, drifting my legs up to around his waist. I clung to him.

Tonight I waited no longer. Tonight I gave myself to my friend and to the second hottest guy I knew. Dan was no Xavier. But guess what? Xavier was no Dan, and in this moment it was Dan I wanted. Because I knew he wouldn’t reject me.

So as our kisses began to build steam, I wasn’t scared I was making a mistake because life was too short to wait and I had waited for Xavier, but I wouldn’t any longer. Dan’s warm muscular hands ran down my bare back, as he continued to kiss me with passion.

And in the dead of the night, among the ocean waves, I gave myself to Dan. And I wouldn’t regret it in the morning.

I was nodding my head to Showtek’s F**K the system, as I opened my locker. I nodded my head, tapping my finger on my locker door to the beat as my iPod pumped the music through my ears.

Throwing my bag into the locker, I pulled out my phone and shoved it in my pocket. Stupid school. Stupid parents. I cursed silently to myself. I knew I had gym today.

I jumped as a fist slammed on the locker door next to me. Pulling an ear bud out, my eyes wide with terror, I turned to face Scott.

“Want to give me a heart attack or something?” I growled, tossing my iPod into my locker.

Scott shrugged his shoulders. “Well, it’s not like I could get your attention any other way.”

Rolling my eyes, I grabbed my gym clothes. “I hate Mondays,” I mourned while closing my locker door and beginning to walk up the hall with Scott.

“So you had a good weekend, then?” Scott chuckled to himself, wiggling his eyebrows at me.

“Does he tell you everything?” Gee, Dan doesn’t keep anything to himself, does he! Not that I really cared, but still, now I would have to put up with Scott’s loose comments.

“Didn’t have to. I can smell it. But now I don’t need to ask who it was with.” Scott laughed evilly as I froze.

“You can smell that?” I cursed myself for not thinking of it before. That explained Chad’s weird reaction to me this morning.

My question only just made him laugh harder as we walked out the doors in the direction of the gym. “Oh, your face right now.” Scott clenched his stomach. “Classic.”
