I quickly moved through my front door and closed it behind me. Giving myself a minute to gather my thoughts before joining Chastity and Bryson in the kitchen, I leaned back against the door and sucked in a few deep breaths. I struggled to calm the rapid rise and fall of my chest or the heat that rolled up my neck and onto my face.

Tucker’s words, shit his presence had me so flustered and I could barely manage to slow the storm circling inside me. When he stood over me, encasing me with his body to where I could feel the heat radiating off of him, I wanted him.

Badly.

I craved his touch.

His kiss.

Him.

I waved a hand, fanning my face and shook the collar of my shirt allowing the cool air to help temper the warmth that was dispatching all over my body. After a few minutes of deep concentration I was finally able to catch my breath and I made my way into the kitchen to find Bryson and Chastity sitting at the table working together on homework.

When I entered the room they both looked up, but Chastity’s eyes immediately narrowed on me.

“Hey bud. How was school?” I asked as I passed behind them both and made my way to the refrigerator to get the glass of water I was in desperate need of. Chastity’s glare followed my the entire way. I tried for nonchalance, but she saw right through it.

“How was work?” She cut in with a suspicious smirk and I snapped my head around glaring back at her.

“Fine,” I managed to get out through gritted teeth and a forced smile. I immediately saw Bryson’s eyes bouncing back and forth between us.

Shit.

“Can you go finish up your homework in your room, bud? I’m gonna get dinner started.” I smiled sweetly at him.

He sat up straight in his seat and started bouncing with excitement. “Can I play Xbox when I’m done?”

“Sure.”

“Cool!” He hopped off his chair, swept up his books in his arms, and disappeared to his bedroom. As soon as we heard the door close, Chastity was out of her seat, staring back at me while tapping her foot, and her hands on her hips. I tried to push it off as long as I could and busied myself pulling pans from the cupboards and vegetables from the fridge. I could feel her eyes following me everytime I changed directions until finally she couldn’t take it anymore.

“What the hell is going on?” she finally spit out.

“Tucker came to The Scene today,” I spoke slowly and quietly. I tried to mentally prepare myself to relive my encounter with Tucker, but it was no use. I felt the butterflies disperse throughout my stomach before I even finished my sentence.

“Oh my God!” Chastity gasped.

“Sshhhh,” I hushed her immediately and peeked down the hallway to ensure Bryson’s bedroom door was still closed.

“What did you do? What did he say?” she whispered, following me around the kitchen.

“It’s not what he said , Chast.
