Page 50 of Fake Dating Adrian Hunter
I do my best to look sexy as I complete the circle, but it doesn’t have the same effect I was hoping for when my ankle rolls and I almost face-plant the ground. Adrian catches me by the waist before I land, pressing his lips together to conceal a laugh.
“Don’t say a word,” I warn, unsure if my growing temperature is due to humiliation or the fact that Adrian has an arm around my waist.
“It wasn’t as bad as you think,” Jessica tells me. “Let’s try again, but this time, hold Adrian’s gaze as you move behind him. Let him see all of your secrets. Seduce him with your eyes.”
All of my secrets? Like that my feelings in this fake relationship are no longer pretend? That I think I’m falling hard for this guy all over again?
No thank you, Jessica. Sharing my secrets is a terrible idea.
But it’s too late. I dare to take a peek at Adrian’s eyes, and gulp at the heat I see in them. All of my secrets are rushing out of me. All I can think about is how amazing it felt when Adrian lathered me in sunscreen today. How he didn’t shy away from letting me feel how hard he was. I can’t stop thinking about how much I want to feel that hardness again,insideof me, every day for the rest of my life. My mind is like porn when it comes to Adrian.
With these thoughts, all embarrassment vanishes from me, and I’m left with the desire to try my best with this lap dance. I want to enjoy myself and get lost in this faux relationship. We can be real for the next hour. Adrian never needs to know the truth. He can believe we’re acting.
I trail a finger across his chest, our gaze interlocked as I take a slow step behind him. As I come out the other side, Adrian’s gaze dips to my body for a second.
“Yes, that’s it, babe!” Jessica cheers. “You’re great once you allow yourself to ease up. Okay, everyone, next step. Seduction takes place when we engage all five senses. So far, we’ve used touch and sight. Next, we’ll play with auditory. Let’s get that dirty talk flowing. Come close to your partner and whisper something naughty in their ear.”
I take a sharp inhale, my cheeks blossoming with heat all over again. Giggles spread among the class members, but unlike me, they all proceed with the task.
“Come on, Vee.” Adrian leans back in his chair—a sight which looks hot in itself and is enough to distract me without the added burden of dirty talk. “Let me hear the best you’ve got. Make it up. Be ridiculous.”
“Shut up. I’m thinking.”
“No thinking.”
“Maybe I want to put some effort into this. Maybe I want to make you sweat.”
His mouth tilts into a crooked grin. Just by looking at those lips, my mind runs off on a tangent of all the things they could do to me. Suddenly, it’s the easiest thing in the world to think up dirty talk. I place my hands on each of his shoulders and lean forward, feeling him shiver as I breathe heat over his ear.
“Adrian, I had the biggest crush on you in high school. Sometimes, when I went to bed at night, I would imagine you on top of me.Insideof me. Then, when the fantasy became too intense, I would touch myself.”
I know I’ve done more than my job when Adrian goes still, his chest not even rising to breathe. “Fuck,” he growls, “are you serious?”
“Score my dirty talk out of ten.”
“You’re a tease.” The heated look in his eyes tells me he hasn’t moved past my words.
Before I can say anything else, Jessica calls everyone’s attention, demonstrating the next move with another couple. “Poke your ass out as you sit on their lap. Let them enjoy your sights. Then lean back into their lap and rub up against them.”
“Vee, I would strongly advise against that.”
“Okay, Verena, let me watch,” Jessica says, bouncing over to us with a bubbly smile.
Adrian races out of the chair, snatching my hand in his and tugging me toward the exit. “Ah… great lesson,” he calls over his shoulder at Jessica. “Maybe too good. Got to whisk this one away.”
We both run out the door, snorting with laughter the moment we’re alone on the dark walkway, nothing but torches and moonlight lighting our faces.
“What on earth were you thinking, whispering that in my ear?” Adrian says once he calms down, leaning against a palm tree. The flickering torchlight reveals a devastatingly handsome grin on his face.
“I was testing what you’re made of.”
“Not much, clearly. Now I’ve got to know if it’s true.”
“I hated you in high school. Of course it’s not true.”
“Says the girl who propositioned me for hate sex. Come on, you’ve totally thought about me in that way before.”
“You’ll never know the truth—”
