You’re Mine by Penny Brooks (Easton and Harper) novel Chapter 129

 

Chapter 129

Harper

I'm in a shit mood for the rest of the day, barely able to concentrate on my final exams, which freaks me out. Yeah, just add another thing to my freak out list.

Like the fact that someone is still writing shitty messages about me at school.

That I think I've skipped my period—what the hell?

That I feel like shit still thanks to lack of sleep and everything else that's going on. I'm so over this year.

I swear the minute it's winter break, I'm going straight home and falling into bed. Maybe I'll sleep my way through the rest of the year, I don't know.

All I know is, I need some down time. Some drama free time too.

Don't know if that last one is possible, but a girl can dream.

We're out of school earlier than normal thanks to our finals schedule and I'm heading for the parking lot when I hear a deep male voice say my name. I turn to find Easton behind me, his gaze lifting at the last second, like he might've been checking out my butt. Knowing him, he probably was.

“What are you doing?"

I ask, trying to go for a flirty tone. He smiles, but his eyes are full of concern. For me. "Waiting for you. Want to come over to my place?"

I press my lips together, wishing I could say yes. "I should probably go straight home with Ryan. My parents are still unhappy with me thanks to the tree—"

Easton holds up both hands, silencing me. "Yeah, yeah. The tree incident. Don't say anything else."

My cheeks grow warm. It's still a touchy subject in my house, which is no surprise. “I wish I could go home with you.”

“Why can't you?"

he asks, his voice soft. "Where are your Parents?"

“At work."

“And how are they going to know where you're at?"

“Find my phone. She's checking."

I pause for dramatic flair. “Constantly.”

“I fucking hate that shit,"

he mutters, shaking his head. "Let me take you home then.”

“What do you mean?"

I frown. “Instead of riding home with Ryan, I'll drive you home. They won't check on you right away, will they?

We can tell Ryan to go somewhere else and make it look like you got a ride with... I don't know. Sadie maybe?”

"She'll be with Ryan.”

Harper rolls her eyes, but I can tell she's into the idea. “Just—let me take you home. We need a little one on one time."

He smiles, and I swear his eyes are glowing. "Let me help you forget all your troubles for a little bit.”

I raise my brows. "What's that supposed to mean?"

“You really do seem to love sucking my—big dick.”

He bursts out laughing and while I know I should be really, really angry about that, I'm laughing too.

“Come here,’ he murmurs once our laughter has calmed and I go to him, letting him kiss me until my head is spinning and I swear I see stars behind my closed lids.

His lips and tongue work some sort of magic over me and by the time he's pulling away, I can only sit there and stare at him in a stupor.

“There's my girl."

He reaches out and cups my cheek. I lean into his touch, wanting more. Wanting everything he could possibly give me. "Okay. I'll see you tomorrow.”

He drops his hand and I blink at him repeatedly. “That's it. That's all we're going to do?"

“Well yeah. I didn't drive you home so I could fuck you real quick in the backseat. I was just trying to do something nice for you. Help you forget your troubles and stress for a little while.”

I stare at him, overwhelmed with love for this boy. Man. My man. "Thank you,’ I whisper, fighting tears. "I love you."

“Llove you too."

His smile is soft. "I wish I could do more for you.”

“You've done enough,"

I reassure him, leaning in for another quick kiss. "This was perfect."

“You're perfect,”

he says, just before he kisses me again.
