body was already responding to her being in my arms, but now, I can feel my blood pumping hard through certain parts of me. With my lips on her, I feel almost wild with the high that comes from having her wrapped around me. She makes me feel alive and strong like nothing ever has in my entire life. I don’t think I could ever need something as much as I already need her. We kiss and kiss until she pulls her head back and looks at me with a satisfied smile.
“For some reason, I knew it would be like that since I first saw you, Colin. That’s why I had to put that out there about me waiting until I’m sixteen. I don’t know how we’re going to do it, but I think it’ll be good for us. You’re going to make it hard though with how pretty you are.” I think she’s joking but as she looks at me, I see that she’s not. She wants me almost as bad as I want her.
Reagan turns and starts to walk back to the direction of her house; I grab her hand this time and hold it as we go. I decide to ask her before we get around others where we stand. I know that I want us together, and I don’t think I could handle being one of a few hook up buddies. Already, I feel a level of possession over her that I can barely understand or contain.
“Reagan, are we together then? Cause I can’t handle the thought of you being with other guys.” She stops and turns to me before replying, “Yeah, I feel the same. Pretty damn scary, right? I know I couldn’t handle seeing you with another girl. I’m scared though because my world can get pretty crazy. And I don’t see us being this calm boring couple through it. Do you think you can handle my crazy?” Her voice has a nervous tone to it that I haven’t heard before.
I smile and nod at her. Happy that I’ll have the opportunity to have her without worrying about who else she’s with. Making sure she gives me a definite answer that I want, I press her, “We are exclusive, right? That means no one else touches you or me.” She gives me a look and says, “Yes, that’s what it means. But that’s meant no one touches in a sexual way. You are still going to have to deal with Blaine adjusting since he’s family. And he’s going to be a huge pain in the ass about it, but again, he’s family.”
Groaning, I know she’s right. But I don’t like it that he thinks he has any rights to her. Now that Reagan’s agreed to be mine, I want every guy, except her brother, to keep an appropriate distance from her. Never thought I’d be a caveman, but it’s already happened and with her around me, I know that there’s no stopping it.

Colin
Football practice is grueling, and I wonder for the hundredth time when it’s going to be over so I can see my girl. Normally, I love football and anything about it. Especially now that I’m the varsity quarterback, I love the high that comes from making the calls and things happen on the field.
But not today, Reagan’s been at cheerleading camp for two weeks, and I need to get my hands and other parts of myself on her or in her before I lose my mind. I try to bring my focus back to the play I’m in. And know that if we land this new offensive, our coach will happily call practice for today.
I look towards Harrison and know that he understands where my mind is. He and Wallace have had to listen to me bitch for the last two weeks about missing my girl, and I know that if I pass the ball to him he’ll do his best to make sure he catches it. Right before I run the play, I shoot Wallace a pleading glance too. He never shows any mercy with my offense but just this once I’m praying that he’ll let his competitiveness go and ease up on us.
Daniel hikes me the ball, and I turn and slide right
