Page 32 of His Virgin Angel

Chapter Six

“Is he like a Dad now?” Brian asked.

“No, he’s not your dad, or our dad.” Piper flipped the pancakes and put them on her brother’s plate. “He’s my boyfriend, but he’s still your friend.”

“He’s really old though.”

Brian’s comment made her smile.

With Jack, Piper never saw the age. She only saw how he made her feel, and after last night those feelings had only gotten stronger. He wasn’t with her this morning, and Brian had come home to have some breakfast, and get his ball. He was going to school with his friend, but wanted to come and see her in the morning.

She had to get ready for college, and Jack had left long before Brian came home. He’d spent the night, and it seemed somewhat surreal to her that their relationship had taken a big turn, and so suddenly. Her cheeks heated just remembering the feel of his mouth between her thighs, or the way he felt sliding down her throat.

Those kinds of fantasies she’d pushed aside while she coped with being the responsible grownup. They had never gone away, and with her putting them off for so long, it seemed they were back to stay.

“He’s not that old.”

Brian ignored her, and she watched as he finished his breakfast before heading out. She escorted him back to his friends before finishing getting ready herself.

Her cell phone beeped alerting her to a text.

Jack: I had fun last night. Wish I could stay this morning. Dinner tonight?

Piper: Can’t. Working.

Jack: What about after? Brian still staying at a friend’s?

Piper: Yes, why?

Jack: I have plans.

After a nightmare at college, with Marshall wanting her to stay behind, Piper wasn’t looking forward to work. As usual, Louisa was her vicious self, but Piper was determined not to use her friendship with Jack, even though the other woman made it difficult for her. The only consolation was Jack. He still demanded she serve him dinner, which she liked. No one else could take that away from her.

She finished her shift and sat down opposite him, not feeling in the best of moods.

“What’s wrong?” he asked.

“It’s nothing. Just not really feeling all that good today.”

“Why?”

“I don’t know. College is hard, and no matter what I do my professor seems determined to tutor me. Then there’s this guy that always turns up when I’m there, and I freak out, which again makes me feel stupid.”

“Why do you freak out?”

“Me and two guys. Probably stupid. I mean, it’s not like anyone would attack me.”

She watched as she tensed up.

“Any why won’t anyone attack you?” he asked.

Her cheeks heated. “I’m not pretty or anything. Why would someone attack me?”

“You have any idea how fucking pissed I am at you right now? Besides the fact that I think you’re beautiful, it doesn’t matter. Men will attack, Piper. I don’t ever want to hear shit like that out of your mouth again, do you understand me?”

“Yes.” It was stupid of her.

“Would you like me to have a word with this professor?”
