Try (Temptation Series) (47 page)

So there I sat, trying to work out what it was that was making her impossible to ignore, and then she glanced up and I knew.

It was those eyes. They held emotions they shouldn’t have. Dark, sad, and inviting all rolled into one, and yet she was far too young to possibly understand any of those emotions in their absolute form.

Breaking the searing connection, I looked down at my textbook, but all I continued to feel was Addison Lancaster, watching me.

The first day of school went by quicker than I expected and everything was exactly how it should be. Except for Mr. McKendrick, I had not expected him.

Lying between the white cotton sheets of my bed, I enjoyed the coolness of them as I parted my bare thighs and slipped my hand down between—to touch. Nighttime was
my
time, a time where I could imagine whatever I wanted and that night, I imagined my World History teacher.

The man who had dismissed me in the blink of an eye. The man who was making my body weep as I lay in my bed. Why I found his rejection so appealing, I was unable to pinpoint, but it was almost…challenging.

Biting my top lip, I slid two fingers along the elastic edge of my panties. I wiggled them in under the pink cotton and flexed my toned thighs. As I parted my legs further and arched my back, I pushed my body into the weight of the sheet, enjoying the feel of it over me, imagining that it was
him
. I teased myself, flirting my fingers over my bare mound. My mouth parted on his name as my fingertips grazed my clit and then dipped below to slide inside.

I’d been doing this from an early age, learning my body and exactly the way I needed to be touched. Brandon never got it right, he was always in a rush and it was over before it began—
didn’t that apply most boys?
But Mr. McKendrick…

I knew he’d be different. He would touch me the way I desired and he’d fuck me the way I craved it. Not like a boy—but like a man.
