CHAPTER 47 JESS I focused on Tom, doing my best to avoid looking in Luke's direction. Sweet, blue-eyed Tom, who had been nothing but a gentleman. He held my hand, his thumb gently stroking my skin. I tried to lean into his caress, allowing him to kiss my temple and pullcloser. But I felt... nothing. His touch didn't set my skin on fire like Luke's did.
I refused to give Luke the satisfaction of knowing he'd ruinedfor anyone else. I ignored him, trying my best to focus on Tom. I laughed and listened as the boys talked, and he was so kind and considerate, pullinginto the conversation even though I had no idea what As Tom's arm wrapped around my shoulders, I tried to focus on the warmth of his skin and how well- built he was. His strength is that I should feel really lucky right now. But my eyes betrayed me, drifting towards Luke. He walked by, peeling off his shirt. and revealing those hard lines of tan, smooth skin. Muscles rippled beneath that taut skin, contracting and relaxing as he I watched him, my heart pounding. He moved with grace and power. Every stroke of his arms sent waves crashing around. him. Strokes that hadalmost slipping off his couch not too long ago.
My gaze locked onto his broad back, and images of my legs 15:21 draped across it with his head... Shit, I need to snap out of this, but I couldn't tear my eyes away.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThen I noticed the bleach blonde bobbing behind him. Tiffany, in a swimsuit that didn't count as clothing at all, was right there, following him like a shadow. My stomach twisted, jealousy flaring up inside me.
I tried to push it down, reminding myself that I was with Tom. But it was hard, so hard, to ignore the sight of Luke and Tiffany together. It nauseated me, but at least it forcedto look away. I spotted Sam and casually strolled over.
"I need this," I said without hesitation and threw back a shot that tasted a whole lot like gasoline. Sam just eggedon, and smiled at her before strolling back to Tom, making sure I didn't look at the pool.
Tom's fingers intertwined with mine, and I forced myself to smile at him. He didn't deserve this. He didn't deserve to be compared to someone who was his complete opposite.
"You okay, Jess?" Tom's voice was soft, but he wasn't judging 1. me.
"Yeah, just... a lot of people makesa little nervous. Needed sliquid courage," I lied, hoping he wouldn't notice how my gaze drifted.
He nodded, pullingcloser. "You can just say the word, and I'll get you a drink next time. Want something now?" "How about a swim first," I replied, trying to sound seductive. Tom's eyes sparked immediately.
We made our way to the pool, and I tried to focus on Tom, who was built equally as impressive as Luke only; Tom was a little. leaner. Being a quarterback meant you needed to be fast.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI couldn't help but compare. Tom was sweet and gentle, his touch soft and caring. But Luke's touch... it was fire and electricity, a spark that ignited something deep within me. I hated that he had this power over me, that no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't shake it. "You know what, maybe not yet. I think I need a few more shots. before I brave the water," I sang too sweetly, and he nodded, not caring that I was acting like a complete weirdo. Tom's hands found my waist, and I leaned in, letting him explore. my exposed back. I tried to focus on the moment, on the here and now. But it was hard, so damn hard, when Luke was right. there, a constant reminder of what I couldn't have.
Tom pulledclose, his lips brushing against my ear. "You're beautiful, Jess," he whispered, his voice filled with sincerity but also a little slurry. Or maybe my brain was foggy; I wasn't sure. The tequila might have kicked in.
I smiled, leaning into him. "Thanks," But even as I said it, my eyes drifted back to Luke, watching as he pulled Tiffany to the edge of the pool. He glanced in my direction, and for a moment, our eyes met. My heart skipped a beat.
Then he kissed Tiffany, hard and passionate, and it felt like a punch to the gut. Nidropped the dink I was holding and sucked in the air. 111 1521

"Shit. Sorry, must have slipped," I looked away, trying to hide the hurt that welled up insideas Tom reached formy cup on the ground. Tom didn't deserve this. He didn't deserve to be with someone whose heart was tangled up with someone else.
