my hand, he leads me into his house. My eyes quickly scan the place as we walk into the living room. There is an old TV along the right wall with a chair and couch lined on the opposite wall. He shows me around the house. The living room leads right into the kitchen. Between the kitchen and living room is a bathroom and a stairway, which leads to three bedrooms and another bathroom. Stepping inside Parker’s room, I scan the pictures on the dresser.
    “That’s my mom,” he says, stepping closer to me.
    “She was beautiful.” She has the same blue eyes as he does as well as dark hair. She is stunning, and it pains me that she was taken away from him so soon.
    “Yes she was,” he says somberly. “Would you like something to drink?” He asks changing the subject and walk out of the room.
    “Sure, what do you have?” I ask as we make our way back down to the kitchen.
    Parker opens the fridge, scanning its contents. “I have OJ, water, beer, and soda.”
    “A beer is fine.”
    He hands me a bottle and we make our way over to couch in the living room.
    “I had fun today. Tim and Molly are really cool,” I say. Parker and I managed to bring home more animals, as well as the picture from the rollercoaster ride. Tim had also won Molly some prizes.
    “Me too; I’m so glad you came.”
    Suddenly, I become aware of the fact that we are alone and in his house. My body is feeling alive, being so close to him and I have no idea how to control it. What if he kisses me again? I’m not so sure I’d be able to stop it. Like I said all he’d have to do is ask, and my panties would disappear in a flash.
     

Chapter Ten

PARKER
    Being in such close proximity to Lily is doing crazy things to me, making me think lustful thoughts as her beauty takes my breath away.
    I lean in toward her and grab her bottle, setting it on the coffee table. I lean in closer, letting her know what’s coming . She did say she likes to see what’s ahead. She turns into me as I cup one side of her face and our lips crash together in an instant. The kiss is lustful, feverish, and there is a need there. A need that I think both of us can relate to. I guide her as she straddles my lap. She cradles my face, kissing me deeply; wrapping my arms around her middle, I let her continue as we take turns exploring each other’s mouth. She tastes so sweet, like cotton candy.
    My hunger takes over as I grab a handful of her hair, lightly pulling her head back to completely expose her neck. Taking my time, I lick my way up from the bottom of her neck upward. She inhales a deep breath, her mouth forming an O as I continue making my way up, her hair fisted in my hand.
    “You do crazy things to me, Lily,” I whisper, lightly grazing my lips against her neck.
    A little moan escapes her throat, and in an instant she stands. “I should go home before this gets out of control,” she says, motioning her hand between her and I.
    Standing up, I dominate her height. “What is it about you always needing to be in control of situations? Why do you deny yourself to just enjoy the moment?” I ask impatiently.
    “I’ve been hurt in every relationship I’ve ever been in. And being with you, near you, is scaring the living shit out of me. You do things to me with just a look; your touch sends my body into overdrive, and I don’t know why I feel this intense connection to you. You cloud my judgment.” Her words escape in a fast tone.
    “Well, you of all people should know we aren’t promised tomorrow. Please, will you at least stay to watch a movie or something? I promise I will behave.” I gesture for her to sit.
    “That’s just it! I don’t want you to behave. Hell, I don’t even want to behave. I’m tired of being the good girl, fearing what others will think of me.” She rushes out, as my heart beats frantically.
    Those words are powerful and explain a lot about her. I stalk toward her, gripping her face and once more bringing my lips to hers. The kiss is
