Chapter 10
You Have A Piercing?
His expression shifts from seductive to disgusted. "Hell no. I'm sorry, I know that you love those books and you believe them to be a roadmap for all of us guys to follow if we want to become every woman's dream man. I know this may shock you, but I don't know many guys that would go getting their peckers pierced to ‘Enhance the sexual experience’." He says the last part with air quotes.
I shove at his chest, pushing him away. "Why would you screw with me and go getting my hopes up like that?"
Now he looks shocked. "Are you telling me if I got my junk pierced you would have sex with me?"
I don't hesitate. "Hell yes, I would drag your ass back to your room right now and take that thing for a test drive," I say, pointing in the vicinity of said junk. "I'm dying to know if those piercings are all they're cracked up to be."
He shifts his gaze from me, then all around the room, as if he's considering it. I should probably tell him I'm joking. I don't want to be the reason some guy puts a needle through his pecker, but let's be honest, I'm not kidding.
When he looks back to me, I can see he's got his game face on again. He reaches up and cups the side of my face. He leans in so his lips are almost touching mine. I tell myself I will not react to his teasing. That’s all he’s doing, teasing me to get a response.
"I don't need any piercings or tattoos," he says, placing his other hand at my waist. “All I need to do is show you how awesome it could be, with just… one… kiss."
He sticks his tongue out to wet his lips, and it brushes across mine, which triggers the release of a small moan I’d been holding back.
Seconds before I begin to climb his body, and embarrass myself horribly, Gemma yells from the other room.
“They’ve been downstairs for a while. Do you think they need help?”
Adrian releases me and takes a step back, that’s when I see the cocky smile. Dammit, I gave him the reaction he wanted. I don’t know who I am when I’m around this jackass.
If he’s going to keep playing this game, then I need to start earning some points for my team. I can’t let him have all the fun while I look like the girl next door pining for him. Oh no, this girl does not pine.
Needing some time to clear my head, I scurried downstairs, pretending I’m worried Shy and Kade are messing with my survival supplies. Unfortunately, Adrian follows me because he’s obsessed with my survival hobby. By the time we get back upstairs, I have a plan. Adrian sits next to me on the couch, but it’s only a minute before he makes some adolescent sexual comment.
“I have a 7:50 class tomorrow, so I need to hit the sack soon,” then he points to his face while looking at me. “This face is leaving in ten minutes, and I want you on it.”
Although every ounce of my sarcastic self wants to toss back a witty remark, I stick with my plan to throw him off balance. I shift and climb half onto his lap, staying up on my knees so that I’m looking down at him. I gently pat one side of his face and gaze into his eyes passionately.
“Keep trying, young grasshopper, you still have much to learn.” Then I kiss him like I’m on the verge of ripping off his clothes. Adrian is so stunned by the sudden and intense attack he doesn’t return the kiss. As I stand, I see he’s so shocked, his eyes are huge, and his mouth is hanging open. I’m on my way out the door before he realizes what happened.
“Wait,” he yells when he pulls himself back together. “I wasn’t ready, that wasn’t any good. You surprised me.” He’s stuttering, trying to defend his non-reaction to the kiss.
I stop and twist to face him. With a regretful look, I tell him, “Don’t worry, I wasn’t expecting anything from you. That was just motivation for you to try harder.” Then I give him one of his cheesy winks and walk off to my room.
