Wayward Son (Jensen Family #3) (13 page)

“I know
,
I’m sorry
.
”
S
he had been watching his lips, his full, beautifully shaped lips and
breathing in his smell. She had studied his face while he had been speaking, he
had a strong jaw l
ine, a perfectly straight nose and
large almond shaped hazel eyes edged with wonderfully long thick black
eyelashes.

“You haven’t heard a sin
gle thing I’ve said have you?” H
e asked.

“I have, you said I wasn’t looking at the screen
,
” she gave him a weak smi
le.

“You mean I have to go over it all again?”

“If you want
,
” she shrugged.

“It has nothing to do with what I want
,
”
his
fingers
sliced
through
his
hair, “I’m supposed to be tutoring you but that’s really difficult when
you sit there daydreaming
.
”

“Hmm
,
” A
ngel murmured
.
A
ll the while
wondering what it would be like to kiss him.

“Angel, you still aren’t listening
.
”

She leaned towards him, putting one hand on his knee to steady herself
then pressed her lips to his. For what felt like an eternity, he just sat
there, and then his hand softly stroked the back of her
arm, sending shivers up her
spine.
H
is lips parted
and their tongues met. The jolt that ran through Angel as her tongue touched
his
,
made her think she’d got an electric
shock Oh. My. God
.
H
er head wa
s
spinning He tastes so nice
.
S
he pushed her fingers into his hair,
finally feeling it’s silky softness and pulled him to her, she felt his hand on
her shoulder and gasped when he pushed her away, stood up and turned away from
her
.
S
he moved to stand behin
d him, touching his arm
.
“Gavin?”

He jerked
away from her
.
“Do you think you
r parents are back with my car yet? I really should make a move
.
”

“I’m so sorry
,
” she moved to
touch him again, he let her this time, she felt him tremble
.
“Your voice was so hypnotic and I was
watching your lips move and just lost myself wondering what it would be like to
kiss you
.
”
S
he moved closer.

“
Well n
ow you know
,
” he said
quietly
.
“You need to
make up your mind who you want to be with
,
” he told her.

“I’m with Quinn
,
” she replied
firmly.

“Fine
,
” he pushed his
text book into his bag
.
“Just remember
you kissed me, you made the first move
,
” he growled.

“I’m so confused
,
” she sank onto
her bed “I really like you Gavin
,
but I’m not
ready to give up Quinn ju
st yet
.
”

Gavin dropped to his knees in front of her and cupped her face with his
hands
.
“I really like you
,
” his voice soft now
,
“I want to be the one you won’t give
up, the one you turn to when you’re upset and I can wait until you are ready to
let me be
that person
.
”

“You real
ly are a nice guy aren’t you?” H
er hands covered his.

“I’m trying to be
,
” he answered.

“What’s that suppos
ed to mean?” S
he asked.

“I’m still battling some demons
,
but I’m beginning to like who I am, you’ll find out more as you get to
know me
.
”
H
e dropped his hands onto her knees.

“You won’t let me get to know you
.
”

“I will Angel, I warn you that there are things about me that you won’t
like
.
”

“Well, there are probably things about me that you won’t like
.
”

“There’s only one thing
I don’t like about you Angel,
” he came to his feet
.
“Quinn
.
”

“You just ruined a perfectly nice moment
,
” she tutted.

“Sorry, I need to get home, when do you want
another session?” H
e moved to leave her room. She walked
with him down the stairs.

“Tomorrow?”

“Ok, I’ve got to work straight after college
,
but I can come over from there?”

“Or, I could meet you at work and we could go to yours
.
”

“Actually that would work better, my pc is faster than yours so that
programme will run quicker which will give you les
s
time to watch my lips
,
” he grinned
.
“Be a good girl and grab my car keys
for me
,
” he winked at
her.

“Huh, I take back what I said about you being a nice guy
,
” she said over her shoulder.

Both Angel and Gavin had a restless night’s sleep. Angel couldn’t
get the feel of his lips and hair out of her head, now she
wanted, more than anything else, for him to pull her into his arms and kiss her
again while pressing his hard body against hers
.
J
ust thinking about it turned her on
.
S
he imagined the
hands touchin
g her were his and soon she was sighing
and moving her hips to the rhythm of her hands.

Gavin was hot, sweaty and unable to sleep. He kicked the duvet off of the
bed and lay in the centre of the six foot square mattress on his back,
spread-eagled, trying t
o get some cooler air flowing
over his body. He must have drifted off to sleep as when he woke a short while
later, he could swear he felt Angel’s lips on his chest as she began to kiss
her way down his body. Realising it was only a dream brought him back
to reality with a bump, he was breathing quickly and was
even sweatier now. He ran his hand down his chest and stomach, wiping the sweat
away, his fingers brushed the tip of his erection. He closed his eyes, wishing
her touch didn’t thrill him as much
but
glad that it
did. Moving his hand slowly, he imagined what her smaller delicate hand would
feel like if sh
e touched him there.
H
is imagination
pushed him over the edge and his orgasm was upon him quicker than he had hoped.

The f
irst
lesson the following mo
rning was
Biology. Gavin hadn’t been near Quinn since the incident during the
previous lesson and wasn’t looking forward to an hour sitting next to him, he
needn’t have worried.

Mr. Benson stopped him as he walked through the door
.
“Change of seating plan
today
,” he told him,
“Kiera, kindly sit next to Quinn today, Gavin, you take Kiera’s seat
next to Angel
.
”

“But Sir,” Quinn protested “I could sit next to Angel
.
”

“Yes Quinn, you could, but
there is a good reason you and Angel
don’t sit together.
A
nd
this
w
ill get Gavin away from the window resulting
in him being unable to watch the netball match for the duration of the lesson.”
This last comment caused most of the class to laugh and Gavin grinned as he
made his way to Angel’s table.

Sliding into the seat ne
xt to her he smiled and
said
.
“Do you think
you’ll be able to concentrate with me sitting here?”

“I think I’ll manage
,
” she answered,

Gavin shuffled a little closer
,
“
h
ow about now?”

“I’m still fine
.
”

He slid closer still, so his arm was touchin
g hers, he
leant against her, “h
ow about now?” He asked, she laughed and pushed him away.

“That’s a little too close
,
” she told him.

Gavin moved away a tiny bit
,
“
a
re you sure you won’t lose
yourself looking at my lips?” H
e teased, “I
could always make sure my hair c
overs my face so you
can’t see
,
” he finished
pulling his hair forward over his left cheek, making a curtain between them. He
caught his breath as she reached out to smooth his hair away from his face.

“I’m sure I’ll manage just fine if your hair is away fr
om your face little boy
,
” she grinned.

“Oooh, low blow
,
” he told her.

Quinn cleared his throat
,
causing both
Angel and Gavin to turn and look at him; he glared at both of them then mouthed
,
“
l
eave him alone” at Angel. She huffed and turned her back on her
boyfriend. Gavin stretched and rais
ed his left hand o
n the pretence of pushing his hair away
from his face, as his hand passed over the back of his head; the only finger
visible to Quinn was his middle one.
