Chapter 1

Skylar Valentine P.O.V

"Bye Chase, thanks for the ride!" I wave goodbye to my older brother. I see Wynne sitting on the stairs by the front entrance with her brother and his friends. Her hot eighteen year old brother, covered in tattoos. I snap myself out the trance he put me in, and jog up to Wynne. No one really notices me but Wynne though, I really wish he would. I glance at him, a slight pout on my lips.

"Hey Sky!" I give a little wave and put my hand out for her to take, when she does I pulled her up and off the stairs. We walk away from her brother and his friends, me glancing over my shoulder to get another peek at him, to the side entrance where our lockers are.

"So did you get enough staring at my brother today?" I flinch, damn it she noticed.

"Ha ha, you noticed that?" Raising my hand to scratch at the back of my neck. Nervous habit of mine. I look down at the ground, with flushed cheeks.

"You act like you don't do it every time you see him. You know he's single right now, so why don't you ask him out?" I stop and stare at her like she's lost her mind.

"What?"

"You know I c-can't do that! I don't know how to talk to him without stuttering! I'll make a ass of myself!" I squat down and put my head between my knees, feeling really freaked out. Why would she think I could talk to him? Him of all people. The guy I have a crush on since I first laid eyes on him. She's crazy. No not crazy, insane!

"What do you mean you stutter when you talk to him? You never have talked to him!"

My eyes widen in realization, I stand up straight and look at her in the eyes. Are you serious, I'm more of a coward than I thought.

"W-what!? I haven't? I swear I have." We continue to our lockers.

"Nope, not once. Even though you've been around since 6th grade. Like how can you not talk to him if you're always at my house?" I shrug, putting in my locker combination and pulling it open, shoving my books I don't need in. I turn my head to look at her, begging her with my eyes to understand why I can't talk to him.

"He makes me nervous. And plus you know it's hard for me to talk to people anyway, so it makes it harder having a crush on him." Shutting my locker and putting the straps to my backpack on, I turn around and lean against my locker.

"I think you should try and talk to him today. Either at school or at my house." She comes and stands in front of me, glaring at me.

"And I mean it." Rapidly nodding my head, not wanting her to kill me, and getting off my locker and turning the corner. I run into something hard and fall on my ass. I look up and see the tattooed God.

He reaches down and pulls me up, giving me this alluring smile.

"Sorry kid, didn't see you there." I just stare at him. His beautiful face, greyish blue eyes, his fingers that are in my face. I flinch back, realizing he was waving his hand in front of my face trying to get my attention. I know my face is bright red.

"You ok, kid?" I blink a couple times and look back up into his eyes.

"Y-yeah." He grins and ruffles my hair and walks away.

"Wow, Sky. Just wow."

"What?" Giving her a confused look.

"One. That was your first time talking to him. Two. He was standing there for maybe three minutes trying to get your attention. He thought he hurt you at first but I told him you were fine, just a little slow." I smacked her in the arm.

"I'm not slow! I was just admiring his beauty." She gags and walks around me and heads down the hall saluting me.

"Stop talking about my brother that way." She yells to me rounding the corner, and blush comes back full force when people turn and look at me. I put my head down and walk into the room right next to me.

Sitting down in the middle row, fourth seat, I look up at the board and see the warm up. I sigh, it's gonna be another long class.

After first two classes of doing nothing but listening to the teachers talk, is very boring. But now it's lunch! And I get to stare at the tattooed God some more. I rush into the cafeteria and look for Wynne. Frowning when I don't see the mess of bright red hair. Where is she? Well I guess I can actually stare at him instead. Taking a seat near the back but still having clear view on the tattooed God. I know it's kind of creepy, but I can't help it. He's just so gorgeous, the tattoos that are peeking out his leather jackets sleeves that flow onto his hands, the tattoo that adorns his his long neck. The piercing that you could miss if you weren't looking for it on his nose, and the two that lay by his left eye. Or the way he's always wearing some type of jewelry, either on his wrists or wrapped around his neck. Then the way he slicks his black hair back out of his face, and how the sides of his head is shaved.

"Just beautiful."

"Are you gawking at my brother again?" I jolt out of my thoughts by the voice of no other than my best friend.

"I just can't help it.. How can someone be so damn sexy?" I hear gagging coming from my right, already knowing its Wynne I don't take my eyes off of him.

"Seriously, just stop. It's gross. He's not even that good looking." I scoff and reluctantly pull my eyes off of him to stare at her like she grown a second head.

She just rolls her eyes at me, shoving a fry in her mouth.

"So you are coming over today right?" I nod, and take out an apple.

"I would like to, if that's ok." Now it's her turn to scoff.

"Of course it's ok, you're like family. Plus dad loves having you there. And maybe, just maybe you will actually talk to Wolf, his name may imply that he's dangerous, but he doesn't bite. Hard." She adds with a wink, and a blush erupts my face with the thoughts that come into mind with that. Shoving those filthy thought to the back and looking at the core of my apple I have finished without noticing.

"You were thinking dirty, weren't you?" I reply with a huff. The bell rings, letting all the students know it's time to get back to learning I get up grabbing my bag and putting the straps on. I chance one last peek at Wolf, and my heart speeds up, banging harshly against my chest. He's... He's staring at me. Then a playful grin paste itself on his beautiful face, and then he kills me with the wink he sends me. My face, my neck, and my ears feel like they're on fire with how red they must be.

I pull my eyes away from him and walk out of the cafeteria. Oh my gosh, get yourself together. Yes, he noticed you. Yes, he even winked at you. But chill. But who am I kidding, I literally want to jump up and down with how happy I am.

Rest of school goes by without much happening, except that one kid that always has to make a ass of of himself in front of everyone. But now here I am waiting by Wynne's light blue Jeep Wrangler, reading a book.

"Hey bookworm, ready to go?" I peek up from my book, and see Wynne grinning at me, I look back down and nod. Pulling the door open after she unlocks them.

"So, bookworm. You gonna talk to Wolf?" The mention of his name makes me blush remembering the wink he sent me.

"I dunno." I mumble out, trying to refocus on The Forest Dweller. The rest of the ride to her house is silent besides the low radio and the light tapping she does on the steering wheel.

We pull up to her house fifteen minutes later and see that nobody is home yet. Means we get the.

"Living room!" Wynne cries out, finishing my thoughts.

"My thought exactly." I chuckle and unbuckle my seat belt grabbing my bag off the floor and pushing the door open, hopping out.

"Well you know what they say—"

"Great minds think alike." We look at each other with grins on our faces and then crack up, walking into the house.

The first thing we hear when we walk into the house is banging and loud moaning. My eyes bulge out and I look at Wynne, she has a look of disgust on her pretty face.

"Fucking great, the whore is here." Ah. China, the older sister. China is that one girl everyone wants to get into her pants, and she lets them. It's quite disgusting.

"Ah yes Jack!" Oh gosh, I know my face is dark red now.

"Oh for fucks sake. Shut the hell up!" Wynne yells and throws her boot up the stairs, and it lands with a loud thud. I rush into the living room and turn on the tv, and turning the volume on full blast to drown out the moaning and screaming. Plopping down on the couch I toe off my shoes and plant my feet on the ottoman. Wynne comes in a couple minutes later with snacks and two cans of pop.

"So what movie are we watching?"

"Sinister." She hums and opens up her drink with me doing the same. It's later in the movie us hunched up together, snacks all gone when Wolf the hot bastard decides to makes his entrance.

"Sinister, huh?" I jolt off the couch falling face first onto the ottoman. My cheeks light up in embarrassment.

"Oh, my bad." But I can clearly hear that he doesn't feel bad at all.

"Fucking hell Wolf! You gave us a heart attack, and maybe you broke Sky's face." I pull back, sitting on the floor rubbing my face, I look up at Wolf. I can tell he's amused. Pouting I say.

"'M fine." I wrap my arms around Wynne's legs and put my head on her knee looking back to the tv. I hear Wolf jump over the couch and plop down. Me half sleep later still clinging to Wynne's knees the movie is finally over, then we hear someone coming down the stairs.

All our heads turn in that direction and see some dude, that looks like your typical college jock.

"Must be Jack." His eyes goes to mine and I hear snickering above me that I know I said that out loud.

"I said that out loud, huh?" I grumble into Wynne's knees.

"Ah, sorry about that." Jack says scratching the back off his neck. Wolf stands up and walks up to him.

"It's cool man, here let me walk you out." He has this devilish grin on his beautiful face. Jack seems warily about it but nods anyway. I pull up off the ground and onto the couch.

"What's he gonna do?"

"Probably scare the shit out of him." I nod my head and stand up to stretch.

"I think it's time for me to go. Aunt Kate is gonna be home soon." She nods in understanding and gets up grabbing her keys, we head out the door. When we walk out we see Wolf with a cigarette and a very scared Jack limping away. Wolf looks at me and grins around his cigarette and winks. And there goes that full body blush. I rush to the Jeep and jump in, but not before I hear him chuckle.
