"And if I did that, how are you ever going to learn?" I retort.
"Why would I need to when I have you as a tutor?"
I hate the school for assigning me as his personal tutor. Stupid jocks. Stupid football players. Arrogant bastards who think they run the school and can do anything they want.
"I won't always be your tutor, Adam."
"Oh, but you will Alexxa," he says smoothly, as he rubs my hand with his.
"Keep your hands to yourself," I tell him sternly.
"Oh relax, Lexxa. You're too uptight for an eighteen year old."
I ignore him and turn away to grab my backpack. I stuff my papers in and zip it.
"If you don't want to do your work then I am going home."
"It's okay, go ahead. I will just tell the school that you are neglecting me," he easily threatened with a smile.
"You wouldn't."
"Oh but you know as well as I do that I will," he says as he walks toward me.
"You arrogant bastard!"
"Arrogant? Is that what you think of me, Lexxa?" he asks, smirking.
I want to slap that arrogant smirk right off his handsome face.
He is standing in front of me with his arms crossed. Damn it, but he is gorgeous. He knows damn well that he is too, that's why he always get things his way. Fucking bastard.
He reaches for my face and brushes my hair behind my ears.
I slap his hand away and step backwards.
He chuckles and rubs his hand where I slapped.
"Feisty," he almost growls, and it makes me want to kick his ass.
"Feisty, feisty girl," he says, smiling. "I like you. I would love to tame a feisty girl like you," he says, then licks his lips.
"Stay away from me," I warn.
"Why would I want to stay away from you? I have to tame you. I can't possibly let a feisty girl like you out in the world."
He grabs a hold of my arms and pull me against him. I land against his chest, knocking the breath out of me. His hands are on my hips, pulling me against him. I can feel his bulge poking my stomach and I can feel myself get wet a little.
"Think of it as me doing the world a favor by taming you, Lexxa," he whispers into my ear.
His hot breath hits my ear and goosebumps ruptures all over my body. He licks my ear and sucks my earlobe into his hot mouth and a shiver runs up my spine. I am appalled at how my body keeps reacting to what he does.
Adam runs his warm hands against my arm full of goosebumps and he chuckles.
"Seems like you enjoyed me sucking on your earlobe, Lexxa. Should I take that as you wanting more?"
I can hear the smile in his voice and my face gets hot from anger. I suddenly want to pummel him. I want to kick him in the balls and kick his handsome face and make it imperfect. I want to take revenge for him being an arrogant bastard and for playing with me. I want to see him on the ground crying!
I push him hard with all my strength and he stumbles backwards, stunned for a few seconds, but regains his composure and smiles his freakin gorgeous smile. Fucking asshole.
"You are pretty feisty for a tiny girl. I bet you'd be fun in bed," he says winking and takes a step toward me.
I grab my backpack and throw it at him and run towards the door. I can hear him laughing his sexy laugh and it makes me more angry.
"Lexxa, same time tomorrow!" he yells out. "I'll tell the school if you don't come by!" he continues to yell out as I open his front door, slam it shut, and run to my car.
I start the engine and drive home, furious and miserable.
"I can't believe you threw your backpack at him!" I yelled out to no one but myself.
"Stupid. Stupid. Stupid!"
I hit my steering wheel a couple of times and my hands start to ache.
I get home and run up the stairs to my room. I jump onto the bed and scream into my pillows, frustrated and angry. I should have left sooner. No, I should have kicked his ass!
God, I can't stand him! I have to tell the school to find him another tutor. If I get stuck with him again, I can't even guarantee that he'll still be alive.
I pat my back pocket for my phone and realize that I left it in my backpack, which I had thrown at fucking Adam.
"Fucking fantastic," I say out loud.
I crawl to the other side of my bed and grab the land line, calling the school.
"Hello my name is Stephanie, how can I help you?"
"Hi, my name is Alexxa Wilder, I was wondering about, uh, exchanging a... tutor?"
"Are you looking for a tutor ma'am?" she asks.
"No. No, I am a tutor. I wanted to have someone replace me and tutor one of the student that I am tutoring..."
"Hold on, ma'am," she says.
I wait for a minute or two before she comes back.
"Hi ma'am, are you still there?" she asks.
"Yes, I am."
"So I looked, and it seems that no one is available to exchange with you."
I sigh, annoyed. "Okay, thank you anyways."
"Alright, ha..."
I hang up the phone without letting her finish, slam it down on the bedside table and scream into my pillow once more.
***
I stand in front of Adam’s door to his house, not wanting to knock on the door at all. I don’t want to be here, but if I don’t continue to tutor him, the school will fire me as a tutor. I need the money.
Reluctantly, I raise my hand and knock on his door.
"Hold on!" I hear him yell.
I turn my back to the door, contemplating about leaving.
I could still leave. He hasn't opened the door yet, he won't even know it's me.
I take a step forward, then stop.
What if he does tell the school?
I take another step forward, and I hesitate again.
The door opens behind me and I turn around. Adam is standing at his doorway with his hair wet and just his damn towel around his waist.
I am staring at him. His body, his muscles.
Oh god.
I find it hard to swallow and I can't take my eyes off of him. He is so gorgeous. No wonder he is popular. No wonder he is arrogant. No freaking wonder.
Adam clears his throat and I know he is smiling, but I can't pull my eyes away.
"Like what you see, Lexxa?" he says.
I can hear the smile in his voice and it irks me, but damn it, I can't stop looking.
"Want me to remove my towel, Lexxa? Want to see all of me? Just say the word and I'll do it. For you," he says, seductively.
I almost nod, but I catch myself and force my eyes to look at his face instead.
