    Bailey''s pov


    "I don''t know what you''re talking about," I repeated, trying to pull away from him again. But Kaleb''s


    grip only tightened.


    "Don''t lie to me, Bailey," he growled, pulling me closer to him. "I know what we didst night. And I


    know you liked it just as much as I did."


    I could feel my body trembling under his touch, my mind racing with both fear and desire. I didn''t


    want to admit it, but he was right. I had enjoyed it - maybe even more than I should have.


    He searches my eyes, making my heart race even more.


    "There you two are," Mira huffed making me leap away from Kaleb like he had just set me on fire.


    With a heart that pounded in my chest, I cleared my throat and looked over at Mira.


    The smile on her face slowly disappear as she looked at both Kaleb and me. Lines soon paint


    between her brows.


    "What''s going on here?" She questioned suspiciously.


    I bit my tongue, my heart continuing to race. I didn''t think I was very good at hiding my current


    dilemma.


    But thankfully, Kaleb surprisingly stepped up and saved me.


    Well the both of us. Because if Mira knew what we had donest night, she''d kill him too.


    "Nothing, Mira," he said smoothly.


    "Bailey and I were just talking."


    Mira''s eyes flickered between us, eyes narrowing. I could feel her suspicion growing. She knew her


    brother better than anyone, and I could tell she didn''t fully believe him.


    But then she thankfully decided to give up her full on investigation mode and shrugged. "Whatever.


    Come downstairs and help Bails, I can''t do this shit on my own." She whined as she turned around


    to walk back down those stairs.


    Seeing this as the best opportunity to practically run away from Kaleb, I nodded quickly and got


    ready to make a beeline to her.


    But fingers grasp around the bone of my wrist, holding me firmly and making me shudder inwardly.


    I avoid his gaze.


    "Release me Sam." I uttered the name he loathed to get on his irritated side.


    But it didn''t work.


    He only gripped me harder, took a step forward until his chest brushed against my shoulder. "We''ll


    finish thister,"


    His voice held a heavy promise. And was that desire in his tone?


    I shivered, biting into my lip harder.


    He releases me, finally allowing me to move away from him and get my breathing back under


    control.


    I don''t bother answering, just walked away from him quickly as if the fire of hell was whipping


    against the heels of my feet.


    -


    About fifteen to eighteen minutester, the house was finally spotless clean.


    Mrs. Reece and her husband decided to release us of our duties and feed us some breakfast.

    Of course when I was done, I told them I''d head on home. I had a feeling Mrs. Reece called my


    mom and dad. And I knew that once I got home, I would have to face their wrath too.


    "I''ll drop you off." Kaleb stated, shocking everyone in the room.


    It was no secret that Kaleb and I didn''t quite get along. In fact, we argued just as bad as he and


    Mira went down each other throats.


    So it obviously came to a shock to everyone including me, that he offered to take me home.


    I shook my head quickly. Kaleb and I in the same car, alone....not a good idea.


    "No thanks, I''ll take the bus."


    His jaw clenched and God forbid, something stirred in my core.


    "I will drop you off Bailey." His voice oozed dominance. The same asst night.


    I shivered, biting into my lip.


    I could see Mira shifting her gaze between the two of us. She was probably wondering what the hell


    was going on.


    Thankfully Mr. Reece saved me.


    "Where do you think you''re going son? You''re grounded. The only ce you will go is to school."


    Mira pushed her tongue out in a mocking manner toward Kaleb who red back at her.


    "You too Mira." Her father added making her lose her taunting behaviour in a matter of a second.


    "But dad," She began to whine.


    He shook his head. "No buts. Even though Kaleb was the one who threw the party, you were still


    part of it. You both are grounded."


    Mira pouted, peering at her mother, silently begging her for help. Mrs. Reece ignored her.


    "Kaleb you''re grounded for a week, that means no going outte and no girls over."


    Mr. Reece''s words mmed in my head reminding of who Kaleb actually was.


    My skin itch as I realize I had easily fallen into his charmsst night just like all the other girls.


    "Dad I have football practice. Coach will not like me missing out on a day." Kaleb grumbled,


    lounging back in displeasure.


    Both Mira and I looked at each other in confusion. Usually when they threatened Kaleb to not bring


    girls over, he''d throw a huge tantrum like a kid who got his candy stolen.


    But now.....he didn''t acknowledge it.


    Strange.


    Mr. Reece scratched his chin thoughtfully. "Fine. You can head on to football practice but you must


    be home early. I''ll be timing you." His eyes narrowed on his son who grinned in triumph.


    Kaleb was not only the best quarterback, but was the best maniptor around here. The guy could


    not only get any girl he wants...but everything he desired.


    Spoilt brat.


    "Oh that''s so not fair! How does he get to still live his life!? If it was me you''d lock me in my room for


    an entire month." Mira scowled, her face screwing up in frustration.


    Kaleb throws a thumbs up for his father,pletely ignoring Mira''s outburst while grinning from ear


    to ear.


    He suddenly turned his attention to me and still wore that stunning grin while his eyes peered into


    mine intensely.


    I rip mine away, my pulse racing.


    "Come on Bailey, I''ll drop you off so you can get ready for school." Mr. Reece said, saving me yet


    again. I nod quickly, standing up and telling everyone goodbye.
