"Yes, I will." I declared persistently which did not make his smug face falter so I resolved to another tactic "I will because there is no way I am kissing you again."
He smirked before leaning closer "And why is that Medusa?"
"Because...Because I don't want to." I ended up saying as I crossed my arms over my chest.
The gravelly sounding male spoke "Little liar."
I came up with a different answer "Acqenemies do not kiss. It is a rule. Everyone knows that."
"Bullshit." Stone called me lit "Acqenemies is an Ella term. There are no rules."
"Yes, there is." I told him while restraining myself from moving closer "No kissing."
"Are you saying that you are backing out of our deal? He asked, his tone full of dark menacing.
"I am not a quitter, Lurch." I argued "If that is what you are suggesting. I am going to find out your name."
His next words rolled off his tongue and I wondered if he meant for them to be so seductive.
"Then guess." He said.
As I was about to say a name, I was stopped by his hand going down to my leg. His fingers trailed from my knees up to my thigh. He stopped abruptly then began to draw circles on my leg. Even with material between his touch and my skin, his hand sets the lower half of me on fire.
It was unfair. There was no way of guessing his name when I could barely remember my own. Not with him touching me.
"Giving up already, Medusa?"
Incapable of putting a sentence together, I tried the name "Noah?"
He responded lowly and huskily "No."
Thinking about every name I knew; I blurted out a few "Liam? Mason? Ethan?"
Stone just shook his head and continues to move his finger along my leg.
Attempting to ignore it and trying to seem unfazed, I quietly asked more names "How about John?"
"Your guesses are getting worse."
"George?" I guessed as a joke "Paul? Ringo?"
He chuckled "Now you are just naming members of The Beatles."
"I know," I admitted "but I am running out of names. I think out of all the names I have said so far, Rumpelstiltskin fits you the most."
When Brennan coughed, I instantly reached forward for another gummy bear which made forced Stone's hand off my leg.
I did not think Brennan had seen us because he did not mention our contact and instead asked "So what made you want to have a girl’s day?"
Lana looked at him and asked, "Do I need an excuse to spend time with Ella?"
At that, the guy next to me whispered tauntingly in my ear "She does not need an excuse. I just do not see why she would want to."
"Says the guy that came willingly to my house yesterday." I rejoinder in a low voice as I grinned up at him.
