“You are beautiful, angel. Every single day for the rest of our lives, I’ll always make sure to remind you of how beautiful, special, and loved you are.”
Skylar closed her eyes and placed her head on my chest, letting the tears stream down her face. Once the song ended, she pulled back and grinned. “I danced. May we please leave now?”
Michelle and Mitch walked up to us.
“This is it—our last high school prom. I think we should spike the punch or some shit like that.” Mitch said as he wiggled his eyebrows.
Skylar shook her head. “Who are you, and what have you done with my brother?”
Michelle laughed. “He’s just impatient, and he wants to leave.”
Skylar wiggled her eyebrows. “And where do you want to go?”
“To the little bed-and-breakfast I booked.”
Pinching my eyebrows together, I asked, “How did you manage that?”
Mitch grinned from ear to ear. “I have an older brother, dude. He comes in handy every now and then.”
Laughing, I shook my head.
I was about to ask Skylar to dance again when Jenny came walking up. I was hoping she was coming up to talk to Skylar and Michelle, but deep down, I knew that she wasn’t.
“Hey, Mitch, Wyatt. Don’t you two look handsome.”
We both gave her a slight nod.
“Thanks,” Mitch mumbled.
Jenny turned her attention on me. “So, how about you do me the honor of dancing with me, Wyatt?”
My mouth nearly dropped open. This girl had a shit-ton of nerve.
Before I even had the chance to respond, Skylar placed her hand on Jenny’s shoulder and pulled her back. “I think I’ve been beyond patient with you. For some reason, you dislike me. And you know what? That’s fine. But I’m tired of you trying to stick your claws into my boyfriend. So, I’m going to politely tell you to back the fuck off once and for all, Jenny.”
A few people had stopped to see what was happening. I could see the looks on their faces. They were happy that Skylar was defending herself.
“Seriously, whore, you think you can talk to me that way?”
“That’s enough.”
Everyone turned and looked at Mike.
“I’m so sick of hearing you call Skylar a whore and every other insult you can think of. You know as well as the rest of us that you’ve probably slept with half of the guys in our senior class.”
Jenny’s eyes widened in shock.
“So, enough is enough. Skylar is far from a whore and probably one of the sweetest girls I’ve ever met. I know I speak for all of us when I say…shut the fuck up, Jenny.”
Everyone erupted in cheers as Skylar stood there, stunned.
“It’s about damn time!” Mitch yelled out as Ariana Grande’s “Focus” started playing.
With a wide grin, I took Skylar’s hand and pulled her out to the dance floor. Seeing her with that smile on her face, having so much fun, was one of the best things I’d seen in a long time.
We stayed for another hour before Skylar finally gave me that look that had my stomach dipping like I was on a damn roller coaster.
“You want to leave, angel?”
She reached up as I leaned down toward her. Putting her lips next to my ear, she said, “I really, really want to leave, Wyatt. I’m dying here. I need to be with you…now. I’m aching for you.”
My dick was instantly hard. I pulled her to me, and she let out a small moan as she pushed her body in more.
“Jesus, Skylar, you’re killing me.”
“Please, Wyatt. I want you.”
The passion in her eyes, I was sure, matched mine. God, how I’ve wanted her for so long…since the first time she smiled at me in the school office. It’s all I’ve dreamed about for months.
It was finally time to make her mine.
Taking her hand in mine, I started heading toward the door. I handed the valet my ticket and stood there with my heart pounding in my ears. I was sure Skylar was even more nervous. I glanced down at her, and she was chewing on her lip.
“Angel, are you scared?”
She smiled the most breathtaking smile I’d ever seen. “I’m scared to death and excited at the same time!”
The valet drove my truck up, and I handed him a tip and opened the door for Skylar. When she took my hand, I felt it shaking.
Leaning in, I buckled her seat belt. “Sky, you know we don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do. You know that, right?”
With the sweetest smile ever, she looked into my eyes. “If I have to keep waiting, I’m going to explode. Wyatt…please take me to the cottage. I want to be with you.”
With a smile, I softly kissed her lips. “I love you, angel.”
“I love you, too.”
My hands were practically slipping off the steering wheel. I was so nervous. Jesus H. Christ, what is wrong with me? It’s not like I haven’t had sex before.
