Broken Bad Boy

PERCIE

I rose to my feet and laughed as I took her hand. “Let’s do it.”

She didn’t hesitate and joined me. We sat side by side and dipped our legs into the water.

“Are you sure nothing is gonna pull our feet down?”

“You watch too many scary movies.”

“I’m not scared.”

“Really?”

She shook her head while smiling like a little girl.

“Sweetheart, no more head shaking. At least say yes or no.”

“Sorry, it feels good. The water is not that cold but not warm either.”

“I guess I really missed a lot having a good time like this.”

“I’m glad you have a good time with me.”

“My pleasure, Hailey.”

I let her stay like that while I prepared our food. She could be very talkative once she started trusting

someone. She talked most of the time while I just stared and admired her like a schoolboy.

After we enjoyed our food, I placed the two cushions side by side and patted my side. Hailey joined me.

I let her head lie down on my arm instead.

“I never did this before.” I could barely hear her voice. She leaned her head closer, placed her hand on

her chest.

“Glad your first is with me.” I kissed the top of her head. I smiled as I looked up at the clear blue sky. I

knew Emma was watching down on us.

I know you are there, Em. I missed you, and I will always love you.

“Did you tell Keith that you’re coming with me today?”

“Yeah.”

I looked down at her. My body suddenly reacted the moment our eyes met. I could feel her racing

heartbeat against my skin. She had the same effect as mine.

I ran my thumb on her cheek, to her nose. I pulled back no matter how I wanted to trace down her lips.

My skin started tingling. I felt like burning. I had sex, experience with other women, and I knew when

they were turned on, just like what Hailey was experiencing right now. She may know it, but she was

not used to this just yet.

She looks surprised, flushed, and edgy. Her fingers were gripping my shirt unknowingly. I let my gaze

wandered down a bit—down to her parted lips, then up again to her eyes—they almost turned into

obsidian black.

“Hailey, don’t do this, sweetheart. I am barely holding on a fine thread.” My voice was raspier. My throat

parched dry.

She quickly dropped her gaze, releasing her grip. I managed to hold her hand and pressed it against

my chest. I wanted her to feel that we were on this together.

“Is it okay with your dad that we are dating? Does he know?” I asked slowly.

She nodded.

“Answer me, sweetheart.”

“Yes. I told my parents that I’m coming here with you today, and they said to—” Her face turned

crimson.

“To?” I was raising my brow.

She snatched her hand and hit my chest playfully. “Stop it.”

“Stop what? We’re having a conversation, Hailey.”

“Mom said to stay safe! Happy now?” She snapped.

I chuckled. “Very. Did they really expect us to have sex on a first date?”

She groaned irritably.

“I thought we already agree to no more secrets?” I lifted her chin. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

“I never forget about that. But you’re making fun of me. I’m just not used to talk about sex with you.”

“You prefer not to talk about sex with me at all?”

“It’s not like that, Percie. It’s just—”

“It’s just?”

“Gah! I don’t have, you know— and you have a lot more experiences than me.” She forced herself to

look down.

“You never did before,” I finished it for her.

She released a huge sigh.

“It’s not a bad thing, is it?”

“What is?” She still sounded irritated.

“To speak freely with me. And I would never judge you.”

“I know. Just give me some time.”

“I’m not going anywhere, sweetheart. And it’s okay. I did not ask you to go out on a date with me only to

get into your pants.”

“Thanks. But I can’t stay a virgin for the rest of my life.” The way she said it, it was more like a

complaint than a statement.

I chuckled.

“Don’t mock me. Admitting it to you is already embarrassing.”

“Look at me, sweetheart.” I tucked the strand of her hair that fell to her face. I forced her to meet my

gaze again. “I’m not mocking you. We are not here to ask you to sleep with me. You will not stay a

virgin for the rest of your life, and it’s not embarrassing if you haven’t had a sexual experience. You still

have time to explore that. Don’t rush things, okay?”

“Jeez, thanks.” She sighed again. “What an awkward first date conversation with your boyfriend talking

about not having had sex and him telling you not to rush and take time to explore.” She rolled her eyes.

Suddenly she froze, covering her face with her hair, hiding her flushed face with me.

I knew why, and I was more than ecstatic to hear it coming from her.

“What?”

“Nothing.”

“Hailey?”

“Yes, Percie.”

“Tell me, sweetheart.”

“I think I just said—oh my god. This is so embarrassing.”

“Nothing is embarrassing about what you just said. We’re on the same page here. Now don’t hide your

beautiful face from me.”

Instead of talking to me, she moved closer to me, and our faces were merely an inch apart. I could feel

her warm breathing on my face.

I didn’t want to disappoint her or embarrass her further. I moved my face closer at her. Her lids flutter

closed. As much as I wanted to suppress my inner hunger, there was nothing in this world I’d rather do

than to please my girlfriend. It still sounded strange in my head, though, but I’d love the idea of it.

Tentatively, I pressed my lips against hers, without moving. She sighed to our lips and tightened the

grip on my shirt as if her green light. I cupped the back of her head and pressed my lips further.

She cautiously parted her lips, and I moved mine slowly, softly, and chastely. She kissed me back,

wrapping her arms around my neck. I rolled over, moved on top of her, and caged her between my

arms. I pressed myself onto her lightly, just to feel her body against mine.

Our lips moved together rhythmically. She opened her mouth as soon as I traced my tongue on the

seam of her lips, asking for permission. I could taste her now— tastes so sweet and addicting—I

wouldn’t and couldn’t stop kissing her. When kissing a random woman, it felt different than kissing the

woman you cared about. There were affection, trust, emotions involved. And this was I felt being with

Hailey.

She moaned into our mouth.

I was already hard, pressed against her, and she could feel me poking against her lower belly. I needed

to stop it, but I couldn’t control it anymore. I wanted more of her—the taste of her lips, her body pressed

against mine, and I wanted more like the air I breathed. But this was Hailey. I broke the kiss, planting a

kiss on her swollen lips once again.

Her heavy-lid eyes flutter open, staring back at me. I smiled at her, assuring her that we were still on

the same page.

“I have to stop, Lee. I honestly really don’t want to, but I don’t want—”

She pressed a finger on my lips to stop me from talking. “I know.”
