Always Remember

sofa all day.”
    “ Honey, I can run around after you all day.”
    Point for the stalker-boy.
    He moves quickly, and I squeal, running away from him around the sofa. My heart is pounding frantically and I’m trying to hold in the giggles.
    Samuel Bing Edwards is chasing a girl. Ha!
    The thought seriously amuses me.
    His lips curl in a playful half smile, and I half grin back at him. Damn. He moves again, and I run around the sofa in the direction of my room. I scoot inside and shut the door, leaning against it.
    “ Cheater!” he growls through the door. I run away from it on silent tip toes as he bangs on it, and I lean against the far wall. He tries the handle and nearly falls into the room, his now dark brown eyes falling on mine. He’s as excited as I am by our playful chase. “Jennifer...”
    “ Samuel....” I bat my lashes, and he stalks across the room silently, his long legs swallowing the room up in seconds. I can’t think of anything but him as he comes towards me, tall and dark.
    He ’s the darkness in my life and I’m the light in his.
    Go fucking figure.
    He’s inches away from me, and I slide along the wall, out of his reach. His eyes narrow and I grin at him, jumping over my bed. He turns to face me, and jumps onto the bed. I stop moving as he steps down.
    In a split second decision, I launch myself at him and we fall back to the bed, laughing together. His arms encircle my waist holding me to him. My hair falls down around his face, and he smiles up at me.
    “ I caught you .” I smirk.
    “ You caught me.” He rolls us over so he’s on top of me. “But now I’ve got you. What are you gonna do?”
    I can feel him pushing against my thigh and my legs automatically tighten round his waist. He drops his forehead to mine, breathing heavily.
    “Nothing,” I whisper. “I’m not gonna do anything.”

BING

    I lower my lips to hers, one of my hands cupping the side of her face. Her skin is like silk beneath mine, soft and inviting. Her tongue snakes out and traces along my top lip. She moves her hands to my back and fists my shirt as her legs tighten around my waist again.
    Shit on a stick.
    She nips my bottom lip, and I groan, kissing her harder. My lips leave hers and I trace kisses along her neck, across her shoulder and back again.
    “ Bing,” she whispers in a breathless tone that goes straight to my dick.
    “ What, gorgeous?” I swirl my tongue just under her ear.
    Her breath catches. “I want my pizza.”
    I stop and look at her. “You’re serious?”
    Her blue eyes are on fire with sex behind them , but still innocent at the same time. She nods. “I’m still hungry.”
    “ Dammit, Jennifer. You’re gonna be the death of me.” I rub my thumb along her bottom lip, and she blinks at me.
    “ Can you wait until I’ve had my pizza?”
    “ Carry on,” I growl. “And I’ll be eating your damn pizza off of you.”
    “ Not tonight, dear.” She pats my cheek. “Maybe another time.”
    I can ’t help but smile at her. I love her playful side, the one she only seems to let out with me. I saw it with Carl but with me she feels... Freer. Like she can really let go.
    “ Then no pizza,” I threaten.
    She scowls at me. “We’re so not friends.”
    “ We weren’t anyway,” I smirk. “I think we missed that stage, don’t you?”
    Her tongue runs across her top lip as she thinks about it. Jen. Tongue.
    Stop it, Bing.
    “ Yep.” She nods. “We definitely forgot that part. But unless I get food, we won’t be anything.”
    “ Demon.” I kiss her once more, and she bites my lip, her teeth dragging across it gently.
    “ You have no idea.”

Chapter Eight

JEN

    “ You could have let me get changed first,” I grumble, tucking my scarf over my chin and nose. The wind is biting cold, and I just know I’ll end up looking like some deformed Rudolph by the end of the night. I shiver, and wrap my arms around myself. A series of beeps tells me he’s locked the car.
    Arms wrap around my shoulders from behind, and I feel warm breath on my cheek. “Cold, gorgeous?” Bing asks.
    “ No, I thought I might get my bikini out. You know, all these tropical temperatures.” I look dubiously up at the sky and the tiny flakes falling from it.
    “ As much as I wouldn’t object to you walking around in a bikini, I don’t think it’s compatible with ice skating.” He chuckles slightly and moves to my side, pulling me into his body and directing me towards the Winter Wonderland
