CHAPTER SIXTEEN

KNOX

I try to control myself, but, fuck, natural reactions are out of my hands.

The second that door shuts and I’m alone with Emma, my cock swells so much that if Emma looked down at my lap she’d probably think I just got finished shoplifting from a baguette store.

If only my cock would listen to my brain. I might not know a lot, but I know one thing for damn sure: for me, Emma Willows is nothing but trouble.

Whether it’s breaking my heart as a teenager or getting me benched and slapped with a community service charge, when I spend time around Emma Willows, life starts to kick my ass.

Okay. I know neither of those things are her fault. She didn’t do anything. Especially the first one – she didn’t break my heart. If anything, I broke hers.

But leaving her did break my heart, back in high school when I was forced to uproot my whole life and move into another foster home out of the blue.

And if I had been with anyone other than Emma at the time, I wouldn’t have felt anything like that. I can be sure of that, because no one has ever made me feel what Emma made me feel back then. Not even close.

I’ve been trying to forget how I felt back then. Forget about those feelings. Forget how much someone can mean to me – how good it can feel to mean so much to someone else.

I had done a pretty damn good job of forgetting it, too. Until about a month ago, Emma barged back into my life, more beautiful than ever, and awakened feelings and memories I’ve tried so hard to bury with booze and easy, meaningless sex.

And remembering those feelings fucked me up.

It screwed with my mind so much, in fact, that I screwed up the whole beginning of my junior year, on and off the field. Screwed it up bad.

The bottom line is, I shouldn’t want to have anything to do with Emma Willows. I can’t afford to.

But try telling that to my cock. That son of a bitch hardly ever listens to reason: there’s zero chance it’ll listen to reason when I’m sitting right next to Emma. That’s for damn sure.

I have to admit, though, I’m grateful for the ride, especially as the dark, cloudy sky explodes in a flash of light and earth-shaking thunder shakes the frame of the car. This storm came out of nowhere, and it came with a vengeance.

Emma’s radio is playing, but we’re sitting together in the midst of a heavy silence that’s far louder than any song. The lyrics and melodies flowing from the speakers don’t even register with me; but I can hear and sense her deep, slow breaths with perfect clarity.

“So, how’s it coming with the football team?” Emma breaks the silence. I was expecting that she’d try to ride out the awkward silence until we got home, having picked me up in this weather out of the goodness of her heart, but hardly wanting anything more to do with me.
