the alarm, and they’ll most
likely sweep the building room by room to check for fire, which will take some
time. That’s actually who we’re hiding from now, since I don’t want to get
arrested for breaking and entering.” Vincent shifted a bit and took out his
phone, fired off a fairly lengthy message, then returned it to his pocket and
wrapped his arms around me.
I made myself comfortable on his
shoulder and asked, “Who did you text?”
“My version of the cavalry. They’ll make
sure no one’s outside waiting for us when we can finally leave the building.”
It took maybe an hour for the fire
fighters to search the school. When they got to the library, we heard one of
them say, “What is it with kids and false alarms?”
“We were just as bad at their age,”
another said.
“Yeah, but at least we had the sense to
pull the alarm during the school day, so we’d get out of class. We never busted
any doors down to do it, either.”
I relaxed a little after they left the
library, and Vincent began stroking my back soothingly. “I’m sorry about all of
this,” he said, his tone hushed so he didn’t give away our location. “I’d never
forgive myself if something had happened to you.”
“I know,” I whispered. “Just get us out
of here after the fire department clears out.”
“I don’t know that I want to get us out
of here.”
“Why not?”
“Because you’ll probably never speak to
me again after tonight, so I want to make this last as long as possible.”
“I really shouldn’t, you know.”
“I know.”
His hand found my chin in the darkness
and Vincent kissed me softly. When I didn’t stop him, he took the kiss just a
little deeper, sliding his arms around me. But after a few moments, I pulled
back and said, “I’ve known you for less than a day, Vincent. In that time, I’ve
been taken on a high speed car chase, run from dangerous thugs, and committed
felony breaking and entering. What do you do for an encore?”
“This.” He kissed me again and my entire
body responded. Despite everything, the attraction between us was overpowering.
It was another couple minutes before I wrestled down my lust and sat back, my
palms on his shoulders.
Vincent wrapped his hands around my
waist and said quietly, “Tonight you’ve gotten to see the world I live in,
Trevor. You saw way more than I ever would have wanted to show you. My life
isn’t always going to be like this, just so you know. But right now, this is my
reality. It’s ridiculous to think you’d want any part of it, but I’m asking you
anyway to please give me a chance.”
He kissed me again and I murmured,
“You’re making it really hard to say no to you.”
“Good.” He took me in his arms and
cradled me against his chest. It felt wonderful to be held by him like that.
The fire alarm beeped once and then the lights went off. Vincent said, “They’ve
just reset the system, so the fire department will be clearing out soon.”
“Think it’s safe to open the closet
door? It’s getting hot in here.”
“I think so.”
I opened it a crack while Vincent sent
another text, the screen lighting up his face in the darkness and reflecting
off his glasses. I peered into the library, then crawled out on my hands and
knees and leaned against the back of the big checkout desk. “Damn, you’ve
escaped,” he whispered.
“I have, but I’m easy to catch.”
“Let’s see.” He crawled over to me,
swung me onto my back and planted a kiss on my neck. “Catching you was too
easy. There was no sport in it,” he said before kissing my neck again.
“That tickles.” I squirmed under him and
tried to suppress a laugh.
“Does it? How about this?” He ran the
tip of his tongue up my neck.
I flailed around, biting my lip to hold
in my laughter, and he caught my wrists, pinning them to the carpet as he
chuckled and said, “Oh man, that’s so cute.”
“Shh! We’re going to get busted.”
“The building’s empty,
likely sweep the building room by room to check for fire, which will take some
time. That’s actually who we’re hiding from now, since I don’t want to get
arrested for breaking and entering.” Vincent shifted a bit and took out his
phone, fired off a fairly lengthy message, then returned it to his pocket and
