room was a dead giveaway.
“Hey this is girls only, no balls allowed.”
“Very cute, does mom and dad know you talk like that?” She looked around me like she was looking for something or someone. I smirked at her before crooking my finger at Red. “This won’t take long I just need a few minutes alone with my girl. I’ll let her get back to the coven soon I promise.” I got a round of one-finger salutes for that dig.
She looked at her friends with her face red before following me out of the room. I took her hand and led her down the hall to my room. The light under my parents’ door was out and all was quiet except for the light din from the TV in Sian’s room.
It was her first time visiting my room and her hesitance was well understood. I squeezed her hand before closing the door. “Celibacy, remember? Don’t worry. I didn’t bring you in here to ravish you. Not that I’m not tempted. What’s that thing you’re wearing anyway?”
She was looking very Un-Red-like in the knee length nightshirt she had on. It was one of those things that didn’t hug the body but moved in a certain way when she walked. I couldn’t resist running my hands over her hips to see if it was as soft as it looked.
“Umm, come ‘ere.” I pulled her in close before she could argue and covered her mouth with mine. Damn, why did I ever come up with that celibacy shit anyway? I think I might’ve outsmarted myself. In trying to show her that I was in it for the long haul, I might have bitten off more than I can chew.
“You’re so soft.” I love the way she sulks when I take my lips away from hers, like I’d taken away her favorite toy. “What are you up to in there?” I know it wasn’t fair, knew I was using her body against her, and that she’d probably gut punch me once her head cleared but it was worth a shot.
“Hmm, what?” She was busy trying to get my tongue back into her mouth and rubbing herself against me in all the right places. I almost lost my train of thought when her soft round tummy pressed into my growing hardness.
Dammit why did I let Jace talk me into this shit? I should’ve let him or Shane do their own dirty work. “Jared, don’t tease.” She whined at me, too cute. “Okay baby I won’t just as soon as you tell me what you and your girls are planning.”
“Nothing.” Uh-huh. She tried pulling away then but I held fast to her hips. Her body was almost too good to be true. Soft, plump, and it made my heart do wild things in my chest. “Red I asked you a question, answer me.”
She pulled away and squinted up at me. I guess she couldn’t see too well in the dark without her glasses. I reached behind me and hit the light switch. “Why are you asking me that, what makes you think we’re up to anything?”
“Well for one, you all went quiet when I opened the door, and two, whenever you lot get together there’s trouble so spill.” She looked around me and down at the floor; anywhere but at me.
“We’re having popcorn and watching scary movies.”
“Look behind you.” She whipped her head around and saw our reflection in the mirror.
“What’s with the finger crossing huh?”
“Dammit Jared that’s sneaky.”
“If you get into anything tonight I’m going to be very displeased with you Red. Whatever my sister has cooking in there you better tell me now.” I was putting her on the spot I know, asking her to choose between me and keeping a secret for my sister.
“Jared…”
“I know baby, but you might be saving her a lot of trouble. Does this have anything to do with Mandy?”
“Jared please don’t make me do this.”
“Okay, I guess that’s answer enough.
“I better get back in there the movie’s about to start.” She was very jumpy for someone who wasn’t up to anything.
“Okay, you can go, but don’t tell her what we talked about.”
“Er.” She mumbled something under her breath that I was sure I wasn’t supposed to catch so I let it
