Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk (Williams and Shawn) novel Chapter 474

Tonight, she’d gone all out. The black dress hugged her in all the right places, showing off every curve. With those red lips and that jet-black dress, her skin looked impossibly pale—she was beautiful in a way that was almost dangerous.

Joshua swallowed, ended his call, and gently took Allison’s wrist, pulling her into his arms.

Allison didn’t resist—she just slid onto his lap like she belonged there.

He wrapped his arms around her, his voice a low rumble above her head. “Missed you.”

A smile tugged at her lips. “Missed you too.”

He raised an eyebrow. “If you missed me, why didn’t you call? Or come find me?”

“I had plans today.”

“What plans?”

“I went shopping with Olivia.”

He sounded a little hurt. “Oh, I see. Your best friend outranks me now.”

Allison laughed. “You’re jealous of Olivia? Seriously?”

Joshua’s lips brushed her earlobe, his voice suddenly dark and teasing. “I could go shopping with you too, you know.”

“No way.”

That would be way too obvious. Not with her dad always around. If someone saw them and said something, it would only end in a fight. Maybe worse.

Joshua’s breath was warm on her neck, making her shiver.

His voice was gravelly, almost a whisper. “Am I that much of a secret? Hm?”

She felt a jolt run through her, skin tingling.

Allison tried to stand, her voice soft. “Come home with me. Not here.”

Joshua didn’t let go, pulling her back in.

“When are you going to make it official?” he murmured, hugging her from behind, lips brushing her neck.

Allison smoothed her tone, almost coaxing. “Be good. We’ll talk at home.”

So that was it.

Joshua’s eyes softened. “He likes Olivia?”

Allison nodded. “I know, right? I never would’ve guessed. I was shocked too.”

Joshua nodded back. “So he’s out of the running. But there are still two other guys staring at you like you’re the last slice of cake.”

Allison laughed, shaking her head. “Those two aren’t even a threat. Are you really worried?”

Her heart squeezed.

She stepped up to him, rising on her toes and cupping his face. “Joshua, you’re the only one I want. You don’t have to—”

But before she could finish, Joshua leaned down and kissed her, stealing the rest of her words.
