Page 704 of Everyone Deserves a Second Chance

In one quick fluid motion, he backed me up against the wall and snatched the tie off my wrist. Only to wrap it around my hands to hold them above my head with his grip.

I sucked in a breath at feeling the weight of him on me, making me weak in the knees.

“Cherry…” he rasped along my mouth. “This is what’s going to happen next. You’re going to be my good girl, and get your sweet little ass in my car, so I can take you on our first date.”

“I will on one condition.”

“Is that right?”

“Mmm hmm.”

“All right, sweetheart. What’s that?”

“You’re going to admit you kissed me that night.”

“I see.” He grinned. “And what if I don’t? What if I didn’t kiss you and I’m telling you the truth?”

“Then you’re not going to be able to kiss me today.”

He chuckled. “Look at you, Paige Summers. Wheeling and dealing like you’re in charge.”

I shrugged, feeling proud of myself.

“Have I told you how fucking adorable you are?”

“Quit trying to flirt with me and tell me the truth.”

He narrowed his gaze at me, sharing, “I did kiss you.” Gripping onto the back of my neck, he leaned into my ear and whispered, “And I can’t fucking wait to do it again.”

I turned my face up to his, feeling my stomach flutter and my heart race faster than it had been. He shifted his mouth to almost touch mine, lightly enough to where he was there in my space, but still leaving the desire for wanting his lips on mine.

“Today, Paige.”

I wanted this moment to last. Especially with what he expressed next…

“You’re my girl.”

Chapter Seventeen

Paige

“Are you going to tell me where we’re going?”

“No.”

“Oh, come on! I don’t like surprises.”

“All the more reason to torture you.”

“I think you have that area pretty much nailed.”

He winked at me.

“Besides, this is my first date. You should set the bar high for all my future dates.”

“So you want me to ruin you for every other man?”

I wanted to say he already had, but instead I responded, “I’d think that’d be your dream come true.”
