“Ignore him. I usually do.” Simon grunted with his hands still possessively cupping her hips as he moved her back away from the door so they weren’t blocking the entrance.
“Uh…right, sure.” Ella found herself saying unsure what was going on but her heart wouldn’t stop pounding and her body seemed to crave his touch. She knew thinking he was interested in her was stupid. He was a football king and she was the girl who studied too much and didn’t bother to go to parties or football games. That was a huge no, no at one of the top football universities in the country.
“Dude, you promised!” Garrett yelled out again catching Simon’s attention.
He frowned before looking back down at Ella his blue eyes raking over her face again. Ella felt a shiver rush down her spine as she wondered what that look was about because it was intense, almost possessive. The look in his eyes confused the hell out of her leaving her feeling like she needed to run before it was too late. She wasn’t ready to handle this—whatever this was. She just needed to get away. Ella’s eyes darted between Simon and Garrett like a ping pong ball trying to figure out what to do. Her heart beating in her ears so loudly that she felt lightheaded.
“Look, I promised them I would do shots with them. You can come with me if you want.” Simon said, his eyes narrowed as they flowed over her face again if he were trying to read her.
“Um…I’m only twenty.” Ella stuttered out.
Immediately she wanted to smack her hand to her forehead for being an idiot. Simon didn’t care that she wasn’t old enough to drink. Hell, he likely didn’t care about her at all. Five minutes after he started those shots he’d likely forget she even existed. He snorted out a little laugh and leaned closer to her whispering in her ear.
“That’s okay baby. I can hook you up.”
“No, I don’t think it’s a good idea.” Ella didn’t add that she had watched too many drunken co-eds running around making fools of themselves.
“Hmm. Ok well I need to do these shots so they’ll shut up about it. Come with me?”
“No thanks, but you go ahead and have fun.” Ella said motioning for him to go to his friends as she starting to move away from him but his hands stayed on her hips holding her in place against him. A frown on his face as his fingers pressed into her soft flesh.
“You’re not allowed to leave. You’re going to wait right here for me while I satisfy them and then we will go somewhere so we can get to know each other better. Stay here and don’t move so I can find you.” He hugged her tightly before he let go and headed over to his friends without a backwards glance.
Ella felt surprise flow through her at his demand. She knew he likely commanded people to do what he wanted all the time and they obeyed but she wasn’t that girl. She watched him take the shot from his friends lifting it up to the roars of his teammates and the women surrounding him letting out a whoop after he downed it. One of the girls sidled up to him batting her lashes at him as she threw herself into his arms. That was all it took to knock her free from the shock that had left her immobile. She turned away from the scene unfolding before her and headed towards the door. No way in hell was she going to be waiting on him against a wall all night while he hung out with his friends. With so many girls throwing themselves at him it wasn’t likely he would remember that she was waiting anyway.
Chapter 2
Simon tossed back the fourth shot holding the glass up as Garrett and Rodger let out cheers laughing. He again reached down removing the wander hands from his person. He needed to get back to his brown eyed beauty before she bolted. She’d nearly been trampled by Garrett and Rodgers as they’d entered. When she’d literally fallen into his arms he’d caught her automatically but once she was there he hadn’t wanted to let her go. His mind had blanked as she’d looked up at him and his dick had done its impression of a steel bar. She’d been wearing a light blue top which covered her curves. If she hadn’t fallen into his arms he likely wouldn’t have noticed her and that was a damned shame.
She wasn’t like the girls who chased him. He’d known that the moment she’d tried to escape him. A grin tugged at his lips as he made his excuses to his friend’s ready to get back to her. He needed to get her number and maybe convince her she should be in his bed. Of course, that wasn’t very likely to happen. She wasn’t the type to fall into a guy’s bed quickly. Nope she wouldn’t be easy. Simon felt his grin kick up a notch at that thought. He liked that she’d make him work for it.
As he moved back towards the wall where he’d left her already aching for a taste of his beauty he frowned when he saw that she wasn’t where he’d left her. A growl of displeasure escaped him as he glanced around looking for her. Damn, where the hell did she go? He shouldn’t
