Promise Me Always Read Free Page B

sexiest little smile I have ever seen. I instantly got hard.
    “Sure, I can give you a ride home. I get off at six thirty though. Think you can find something to do for thirty minutes until I get off?” I teased her.
    “I think I can manage,” she said, rolling her eyes at me. “I’ll just meet you at your car. Did you park in your usual spot?”
    “Sure did.”
    “Okay. I’ll see you later, Blake.” She gave me a wink before she turned to walk away. “Oh, and thanks again for giving me a ride home,” she said, turning back towards me. “Palmer will be happy she doesn’t have to come pick me up. She had dinner plans with Cole tonight.” She waved goodbye and all I could do was stand there, looking at her ass as she walked away. That girl knew exactly what she was doing and she was good at it.
    The rest of the day, I couldn’t focus. Was I really going to go through with this? Tess was beyond hot, but did I want to potentially ruin our friendship? I had ruined plenty of friendships through sex. Girls always wanted more afterwards and I was just not the guy to give it to them.
    When I opened the doors to the parking lot and walked out towards my car, she was the first thing I saw. She was leaning up against my truck with a huge grin on her face. I had to keep telling myself that she was just a friend that needed a ride home. She had changed out of her work clothes and had on a short denim mini skirt with a pink tank top. Damn, she looks hot. I wondered vaguely why she changed.
    “Hey, baby girl, you ready to go?” I asked as I walked up to the passenger side door and opened it up for her. Baby girl? Where the hell did that come from?
    “As a matter of fact, I am. And I’m looking forward to hearing that song.” She gave me a flirtatious wink and climbed in.
    Fuck! I was in trouble.
    When I got in the car, I pulled out my iPod and plugged it in. I tried to control my breathing while I found the Bruno Mars song and hit play. I let the song play for a bit while I stared at her beautiful brown eyes. Listening to the words for the first time, I realized that the song could’ve been written for her. I sang one line to her right before I started to drive. “You’re amazing…” I sang as I gave her a wink. “…just the way you are.” I gave her thigh a little squeeze and leaned over, whispering in her ear, “This song fits you perfectly, baby girl.”
    I heard her let out the breath that she must have been holding. As soon as I removed my hand from her leg, I threw the truck in drive and pulled out of the parking lot. She looked over at me and smiled that sexy smile and my dick twitched in my pants.
    The next ten minutes felt like an eternity. The silence in the car was enough to drive me crazy. I didn’t know if she was regretting what was happening or if she was just nervous. I couldn’t take it anymore, so I finally spoke. “You know I was only kidding earlier today about the song and everything. You know I was just giving you shit, right?”
    “Yeah. I know, dickhead,” she said, starting to laugh. “But … ” she seemed to think about what she was about to say before continuing, “a promise is a promise, don’t you think?” She looked right at me and her eyes were filled with pure lust.
    “Are you serious?” I asked her in shock. “I really don’t want you to do anything you don’t want to do. I was just kidding, honest. You know I would never think of you like that,” I lied. Being with her was starting to consume my every thought. She was hot and I would be a fool to turn her down, even if it was just a onetime thing.
    “Blake, I know you were kidding. But, seriously, I want to do this. I’m just scared that you’ll think I’m some kind of slut if we do. And I’m not—I never do this kind of thing,” she said, hurriedly. She took a deep breath and fixed her eyes on mine. “But something inside of me is just screaming yes right now.”
    I reached across the truck and put my
