Broken Bad Boy novel Chapter 29

PERCIE

I rose to my feet and laughed as I took her hand. “Let’s do it.” 

She didn’t hesitate and joined me. We sat side by side and dipped our legs into the water.

“Are you sure nothing is gonna pull our feet down?”

“You watch too many scary movies.”

“I’m not scared.”

“Really?”

She shook her head while smiling like a little girl.

“Sweetheart, no more head shaking. At least say yes or no.”

“Sorry, it feels good. The water is not that cold but not warm either.” 

“I guess I really missed a lot having a good time like this.”

“I’m glad you have a good time with me.”

“My pleasure, Hailey.” 

I let her stay like that while I prepared our food. She could be very talkative once she started trusting someone. She talked most of the time while I just stared and admired her like a schoolboy.

After we enjoyed our food, I placed the two cushions side by side and patted my side. Hailey joined me. I let her head lie down on my arm instead.

“I never did this before.” I could barely hear her voice. She leaned her head closer, placed her hand on her chest.

“Glad your first is with me.” I kissed the top of her head. I smiled as I looked up at the clear blue sky. I knew Emma was watching down on us.

I know you are there, Em. I missed you, and I will always love you.

“Did you tell Keith that you’re coming with me today?”

“Yeah.” 

I looked down at her. My body suddenly reacted the moment our eyes met. I could feel her racing heartbeat against my skin. She had the same effect as mine.

I ran my thumb on her cheek, to her nose. I pulled back no matter how I wanted to trace down her lips. 

My skin started tingling. I felt like burning. I had sex, experience with other women, and I knew when they were turned on, just like what Hailey was experiencing right now. She may know it, but she was not used to this just yet. 

She looks surprised, flushed, and edgy. Her fingers were gripping my shirt unknowingly. I let my gaze wandered down a bit—down to her parted lips, then up again to her eyes—they almost turned into obsidian black.

“Hailey, don’t do this, sweetheart. I am barely holding on a fine thread.” My voice was raspier. My throat parched dry.

She quickly dropped her gaze, releasing her grip. I managed to hold her hand and pressed it against my chest. I wanted her to feel that we were on this together.

“Is it okay with your dad that we are dating? Does he know?” I asked slowly. 

She nodded.

“Answer me, sweetheart.”

“Yes. I told my parents that I’m coming here with you today, and they said to—” Her face turned crimson.

“To?” I was raising my brow. 

She snatched her hand and hit my chest playfully. “Stop it.”

“Stop what? We’re having a conversation, Hailey.”

“Mom said to stay safe! Happy now?” She snapped. 

I chuckled. “Very. Did they really expect us to have sex on a first date?” 

She groaned irritably.
