rolled her eyes, wishing he would just leave. “And why would you say that, Jason?” She sighed.
“Because I’m not sure you could handle being in my presence… alone .” He widened his eyes infinitesimally for a split second as he gave her a lascivious grin.
Oh God, he was off with the arrogance again. Clearly, something he resorted to when not getting his own way. She turned to face him. “You seem to think you’re some kind of stunning gift to women all of a sudden. And how wrong you are.” She shook her head as if to emphasise her point.
He chuckled, and after checking around conspiratorially, he leaned in to whisper again. “Really? Is that why your nipples were poking through your top when you were ogling me yesterday?” His eyes drifted down to her breasts.
She rolled her eyes and folded her arms to cover them. “Oh, for goodness sake. Really? Please get over yourself.” Her voice was just above a whisper in case little ears were close by. She snorted incredulously.
He smiled before standing to leave. Relief washed over her. But just when she was beginning to feel safe, he bent so that his mouth was next to her ear again. “You and I both know how turned on you were yesterday when you were watching me. Don’t bother trying to deny it. You liked the view. And I had an effect on you. You wanted me to touch you, to run my fingers down your stomach and into your panties. I know you did.”
A shiver travelled from the point where his hot breath singed her skin, down her body, and spiked at the junction of her thighs. She clamped her knees together and closed her eyes. Her body’s betrayal again made anger well up inside her.
With flared nostrils and clenched teeth, she bit out, “Fuck off, Jason.”
“Tut tut…and you a teacher too.” He chuckled darkly and walked away.
What the hell was wrong with the man? One minute he was desperately trying to get her listen to him and the next he was talking dirty and being an arrogant, self-absorbed arsehole. Clearly, she didn’t know him at all.

Once all the teens were on the coach, David and Stevie climbed aboard. David went straight to the back to settle the usual suspects down from their raucous state whilst she took her seat. Dorcas stepped on the bus next and sat at the opposite side giving her a wide grin.
Stevie forced a smile. “Oh, I didn’t realise you were joining us on the coach, Dorcas.”
“Yes, it makes more sense for me and Jason to tag along with yous lot. Saves taking the Landy or the bike.”
Her eyes widened. “J-Jason’s coming on here too?” She swallowed hard just as David returned.
“Oh hi, Dorcas. Mind if I sit with you?” he asked enthusiastically with a friendly smile.
She patted the seat beside her. “Not at all. We can continue our chat from earlier.”
Panic rose in Stevie's gut. “But, David, shouldn’t you sit with me?”
“What’s up? Scared I’ll bite?”
She snapped her head up and was met with the dark chocolate eyes of the mercurial man she was hoping to avoid. “Of course not…I just…I thought…”
Jason sat down beside her with a bounce and a wide teasing grin, his thigh rubbing up against hers. “Well, stop thinking. It’s not good for you.” He winked. Oh great, and now he was in a playful mood. She was seriously struggling to keep up.
Turning her face away, she gazed out of the window, hoping that he’d take the hint and leave her alone. But his cologne invaded her nostrils. There was no denying the fact that he smelled delicious, masculine, and earthy. And although it was very different to what she remembered from the Jason she’d known before, there was something strangely familiar about it. Maybe it was the underlying smell of just him . Whatever it was, it evoked unwelcome feelings from deep within her that she very much wanted to stamp on.
She was not going there again.
