Page 5 of Pretty Little Fears

Ifreeze while it starts to register thatI’mpressed against another person.Inthat time,Ibegin to realize that the stranger is soaking wet.

Wet, because my coffee cup was crushed in our collision and spilled all over them.Istiffen as the horror of the situation skates down my spine.Ifeel my face redden andIrapidly remove my hands from their firm chest and look up.

WhenIdo,I’mmet with dark, green eyes harboring somethingIcan’t quite place before quickly turning frigid.Ilet my eyes roam over his face asItake in the rest of him.

Hehas a staunch, angular jaw that is currently clenched so hard,IswearIhear his teeth grinding.Smokeis practically coming out of his ears and nose.Despitethe anger etched on his face, he’s insanely handsome.

Ican't help but to get lost in his intensity that seems to demand my attention.He’shuge.Talland muscular.Hehas dark brown hair with a loose piece that hangs in front of his forehead, and the most kissable lipsI’veever seen.

Horrorwashes over me asIrealizeI’vebeen eye fucking this stranger and have yet to apologize.

“Ohshit…Iam so sorry,Ididn't even see you there.Thatwas one hundred percent my fault.I’mso fucking sorry.”Ipronounce it earnestly.

“No, clearly you didn't,” he says while breaking into a smile that’s filled with venom.Adimple forms with the movement in his left cheek, once again demanding all of my attention.

“CanIhave that?”Heasks, pointing to the napkin in my hand.Hisgruff voice sends a warm feeling to my core.Whatthe hell is going on?Stunned.Ijust blink at him.Aspengrabs the napkin from me and hands it to him.

Hegives her a nod and a curt thank you.Lookingat his friend, whomIdidn’t notice until now, he curses under his breath, shakes his head, and together they walk in the opposite direction.Iam in utter shock asIlean in close toAspenso only she can hear me speak.

“Whothe fuck is that?”Iwhisper.

“That’sEmmettBlackwood,”Aspenwhispers back. “Steerclear of him at all costs.He’sdelicious but deadly.”

CHAPTER THREE

EMMETT

Thegirlthat just bulldozed into my chest raises her head to look up at me andI'mmomentarily stunned by the prettiest eyesI’veever seen.They’rea light brown with specks of green, andIwonder what they’d look like peering up at me while my cock slides into her mouth and past her full, pouty lips.Iimmediately feel my cock start to harden in my pants.

Hersmall nose wrinkles with embarrassment as she quickly pulls back and looks up at me again.There'sonly one thought that runs through my brain asIlook at her.

Mine.

She’smine.

Likea beating drum, it repeats over and over.

Mine.

Mine.

Mine.

Whatthe fuck?Ipause for a moment, confused by the intense thoughts.Iforcefully shove them to the back of my mind,replacing them with more comforting and familiar feelings.

Numbness.Rage.

Herbig brown eyes peer up at me full of pity andIfucking hate it.Evenif she did just drench me in coffee.

“Ohshit…Iam so sorry,Ididn't even see you there.Thatwas one hundred percent my fault.I’mso fucking sorry.”Shetries to say calmly, but anxiousness washes over her entire face.Ifit wasn’t for the tremble in her hands to give away her nervousness, it would be the way she’s chewing on her plump bottom lip.Theaction is distracting, making me want to sink my teeth into it.

“No, clearly you didn't.”Ispit.Lacingmy voice with disdain to hide the wantI’mfeeling.Iwait for her to respond but she just blinks at me.Realitystarts to leak back in as the smell of too sweet coffee invades my nostrils and the coldness of the drink that had been crushed between us, begins to seep through my shirt and onto my skin.

Unfortunately, it does absolutely nothing to stop the heatI’mfeeling or my cock from growing larger and straining against my zipper as it jerks and throbs.That'sinconvenient.Reallyfucking inconvenient.

“CanIhave that?”Iask, pointing to the napkin in her hand.Whenshe just stands there, staring at me blankly, her friend grabs the napkin from her and hands it to me.

Inod while saying thank you, then start walking forward,Grimmstill by my side.Aswe walk away,Ifeel a weird pang in my chest.Thoseeyes are ingrained into my mind and they might just be my newest obsession.
