บททั้งหมดของ Tenderness is a Dangerous Thing: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

“So tell me, Anna, is that what you want? A weakling who can’t protect you? Who can’t even make you laugh like I can?” His other hand comes up to cup Anna’s face, his thumb brushing over her bottom lip. “You deserve better,” he says softly. A shiver runs through Anna. She started to feel a bit excited, not completely sure why. Was it the intimate proximity? Was it the way he was touching her and looking at her? Or was it because he sounded so jealous. She had never seen Zack jealous before, she’d only seen his cruel side, and she started wondering if there was more to him than she knew. She shook her head lightly, trying to dispel such foolish thoughts. Just because she enjoyed the type of anime where the bad boy, delinquent, softened and swept a girl off her feet, didn't mean she was foolish enough to think such things could happen in real life, especially not with someone like Zack, not after ten years of knowing him. And not with someone like herself... “Well, then it’s a good thin

The way he focused only on Anna, the way he seemed to care about nothing else, mirroring Anna’s desire, made her shiver and excited her. But the thought of having someone else see her naked... Made her uncomfortable. “Besides,” Zack added, his voice dropping to a whisper, “You are the one who is soaked and half naked. You started it.” Anna didn’t find this funny at all. ‘Her fault?’ Anger boiled in her gut. His hand left her breast to slide down her stomach, his finger hooking in the waistband of her red skirt, and he tugged at them playfully. “Maybe i should just take these off and show you how much i want you,” he suggested, his eyes gleaming with mischief and desire. “Right here, tight now.” Anna looked up at him, half angry, half shocked, "No, please Zack! Take me home right now!" she said angrily. A triumphant grin spread across Zack’s face. He finally got the reaction he wanted. His grin infuriated Anna, but she kept her mouth shut, hoping to take this somewhere less public. “T

Zack’s hand slid from her hips to her thighs, pushing them apart. He settled between them, the rough fabric of his wet jeans rubbing against her bare skin. “This is who I am,” he murmured, his lips trailing down her neck. “A selfish bastard who takes what he wants and right now I want you.” Anna finally breathed, ‘He was right, this was on brand with his behavior. He was being selfish and rude and pushy. But if he was someone to take what he wants, why didn’t he want her earlier?’“If you were nicer earlier, this might have happened sooner,” Anna says sadly and adds with a mutter, “Jerk.” Zack let out a low chuckle, the sound vibrating through Anna. “Sooner? Maybe. But would it have been this good?” He didn’t wait for an answer. Instead, he captured her lips in another searing kiss, his tongue pushing into her mouth with a demanding urgency. His hands roamed her body, caressing her breasts, her stomach and her hips. “Being nice is boring,” he growled against her lips. “This is much mo

Zack lets out a low laugh, pulling her back into his arms. “Your brother? He can try,” he said with a smirk. He pressed a quick kiss to her lips, silencing any further protests. “Don’t worry about him. I will deal with your brother if he comes up here.” His hand slid down her back to rest on her ass, giving it a gentle squeeze. “Besides, he’ll get used to it. Soon enough, he’ll see that I’m the best thing that ever happened to you.” He shifted, holding her gentle. "Now hush," he murmured, his voice a low rumble against her ear. “Let’s just enjoy this moment.” “You really are a selfish jerk,” she muttered and snuggled into his chest. Zack chuckled, the sound vibrating through his chest and into her. “And you love it,” he retorted, tightening his arms around her. He pressed a kiss to the top of her head, his fingers threading through her hair. “You wouldn’t have it any other way.” His hand moved from her hair to her back, tracing lazy circles. “Besides, being selfish means i get to kee

The next morning when Zack walked into the school building, he saw Anna standing by her locker. His eyes locked onto her the moment he stepped through the school doors. A smug grin spread across his face as he sauntered over, completely ignoring the other students who parted away from him. Anna was wearing jeans and a buttoned-up black shirt that made a v-shape along her cleavage. Her brown hair hung loosely around her shoulders. She was focused on something inside her locker, probably gathering the right books for the day. Zack came to a stop in front of her locker, leaning against it causally. “Morning, brat,” he said, his voice low and husky. He was wearing loose jeans, a dark blue shirt with a picture of some band on it and his black leather jacket. As he leaned against the locker, his shirt rose up slightly, revealing his own V-line. “Did you miss me?” he asked and without waiting for a response, he reached out and pulled her into a kiss, right there in the crowded hallway. It wa
