Eden's POV:

"Looking around," I answered, taking a seat on the floor. "Fitting place for someone like me."

Sterling’s POV:

“What do you mean, ‘someone like you’?” I asked, though I could probably have guessed her answer.

Eden’s POV:

I raised an eyebrow at his question before I decided to answer. After all, no harm would be done.
“I prefer to be alone,” I replied softly. “Interacting with people is something I dislike. I don’t need it, so I don’t go after it. Although people like to pick fights here and there, they leave me alone. As far as I can remember, it’s always been like this.”

Sterling’s POV:

I hummed a bit and nodded. “I get that. Sometimes it’s nice to just be alone. Or with only one other person,” I said gently, smiling at her before I winked playfully. “I would love to just be alone with you a few times a day.”

Eden’s POV:

I raised an eyebrow, looking at him suspiciously.
“Oh?” I formed a small ‘o’ with my mouth, leaning back a little. “And what do you plan on doing when you have me alone, Ainsley?”

Sterling’s POV:

I chuckled deeply. “Hm… This seems good to me,” I murmured before leaning over and pressing my lips to hers.

Eden’s POV:

His deep chuckle sent shivers down my spine, and I didn’t have time to prepare myself as Sterling leaned forward and kissed me.
I’ve kissed Sterling plenty of times yet each time we kissed, I felt like I was drowning in him all over again. It was a never ending cycle, only getting stronger.
I pushed against him, snaking my arms around his neck, my fingers ranging themselves in his hair. It was a bad idea letting the kiss get heated up, but I didn’t care.

Sterling's POV:

Every time. Every time I kissed her, I couldn't help but feel like this was how things were supposed to be. Her soft lips molded perfectly to mine, fitting like they were made to be there.

She dug her fingers into my hair, and I couldn't help the small groan that escaped into the kiss. Now that she had found the spot, she was sure as heck going to use it on me as often as she could, and I knew it.

But I wasn't the only one with a weakness…

Pressing my lips harder against hers, I lightly bit at her lower lip. She could tease me all she wanted, but I would definitely be teasing her back.

Eden’s POV:

It felt like I was being devoured. When Sterling kissed me, he didn’t hold back. He pushes against me, trying to find my weak spots and God does that do wonders.
As he took my lower lip between his teeth, I couldn’t hold back the sharp intake of breath and the quiet noise that came with it.
By the time we pulled away for air, we were a mess. I was sure my lips were swollen and my clothes rumpled because that was what Sterling’s condition was. It made him look attractive, I decided.
I licked my lower lip, partially to tease him and partially because of the way they felt like they were on fire.

Sterling's POV:

"You, sweetheart, are going to be the death of me," I murmured, my voice an octave lower than usual due to the heated moment.

Her tongue flicked over her bottom lip, and my eyes followed the movement almost involuntarily. She had no idea the things she did to me… Or maybe she did, seeing as she knew how to tease me the way she did…

Eden’s POV:

I let a smirk spread across my lips at both his statement and the movement of his eyes. I loved the effect I had on him. It was a thrill.
“Well,” I almost purred, resting a hand on his chest, pushing against him slightly. I didn’t know what was wrong with me, but I wasn’t going to stop. I was digging my own grave, but I was going down content. “What are you going to do about that?”

Sterling's POV:

A soft growl rumbled in my throat, surprising even me. I couldn't help it, though. Even I didn't understand how she could have such an effect on me.

"You have no idea what I want to do to you right now, do you?" I muttered before reconnecting our lips, starting off with the same intense, heated passion we'd ended with.

Eden’s POV:

I knew I shouldn’t be tempting him, but it excited me to see him like this. He wasn’t like this because of me. Why wouldn’t I take advantage of that?
I pulled away from the kiss, my eyes glistening. I could hardly force the words out of my mouth.
“Why don’t you enlighten me, then?”

Sterling's POV:

Again, I chuckled deeply. She really had no idea, did she? The effect she had on me… Gosh, she made me want her so bad.

"Oh, believe me, I want to," I started, my eyes flicking across her face, landing most times on her lips. Those soft, pink lips… I blinked and tore my eyes away, knowing that I would just kiss her again if I didn't. "I want to tell you what you do to me. I want to show you what you do to me… But I can't. Not here, not now…"

Eden’s POV:

I felt my mouth go dry as his words reached my ears. The hungry look in his eyes, the way they looked at me, made me shiver with anticipation. It was ironic. A day ago, I was scared of what I would do in his presence. And look at me now… desperate, not being able to get enough of him.
Sterling’s heated stare made me go mad, the way he looked at me like he couldn’t see anyone else.
“Ah, I see…” I murmured to myself, softly tracing his lips. “I guess I’m right where I belong…”

Sterling's POV:

If I didn't pull away soon, this would go way too far. I couldn't do this to her right now. We had literally been together for a day, and I didn't want to put this on her.

So, much to my own disappointment, I pulled back a bit, sighing heavily. "I'm sorry, Eden… Believe me, I want to be as close to you a physically possible, but I'm not sure if I can control myself right now…" I murmured.

Eden’s POV:

My eyes softened. I was glad he was taking a step back. I enjoyed the kissing, but taking another step into the red zone wasn’t something I was ready for. Not yet.
“Thank you, Sterling,” I mumbled, standing up and attempting to stretch. I suddenly didn’t feel hungry anymore. I just felt satisfied. I’d been extremely caught up in my feelings that I failed to notice the most important thing. “We should go back to class.”

Sterling's POV:

I let out a heavy breath as I stood as well, giving her a soft smile. "Of course. That would be good," I said, reaching out my hand to her. A thought crossed my mind, and I looked over at her. "Eden… If I ever push you too far, let me know, okay? Sometimes I have very little self-control, and I don't want to hurt you."

Eden’s POV:

I took his hand, nodding quietly. There was something I knew I should tell him, but I found it far too embarrassing to speak. Sterling’s honestly and the way he cared about his actions when it involved me made my heart swell. I didn’t know what I did to deserve him.
“Sometimes I get too caught up in you that everything else slips by,” I admitted quietly. “It’s not until it’s spoken that I realize I’m not ready for that next step. But I promise you, Sterling, you won’t have to wait to take that step for long.”

Sterling’s POV:

I shook my head slowly, giving her hand a gentle squeeze. “I will wait as long as you need me to. Okay? I don’t want to do anything that might make you uncomfortable.”

Eden’s POV:

“I’ve…” I mumbled and I knew my face was extremely red at this point. Who knew it would be hard admitting something like this to the person you liked? “Never gone thay far before…”

Sterling’s POV:

I had assumed that, but her words touched me. I was glad she felt comfortable enough with me to tell me that.

“That’s okay. Not everyone has. It’s nothing to be ashamed of. If anything, it’s rather impressive. That means that you have a lot more self control than a lot of other people, including myself,” I said softly, pressing a light kiss to her head.

Eden’s POV:

I sighed under his touch.
“I’m not embarrassed that I’m still untouched,” I told him with a frown. “It’s embarrassing because I’m telling it to you.”
His words, however, made me feel good. He wasn’t disappointed, so that was good. He sounded rather glad, which made it even better.

Sterling's POV:

I blinked, somewhat surprised by what she'd said. "You're embarrassed to be telling me? Do you mind my asking why?"

Eden’s POV:

I didn’t know how to answer that question. Knowing the reason and explaining was different. It was difficult.
“I’m inexperienced,” I rubbed the back of my head. “I… don’t want to disappoint you, Sterling…”

Sterling's POV:

Oh. She was worried about disappointing me? Because she was inexperienced?

"Eden, look at me, please," I said softly, taking her face in gentle hands and tilting her head up so that her eyes met mine. "I would never be disappointed in you because of that. Just because you're inexperienced, doesn't mean that it'll go badly. It just means that I'll be sure to take care of you."

Eden’s POV:

“I’m sorry…” I whispered, not knowing what else to say. “This is the real me. Scared and fearful when I’m in situations like these. It can get annoying, I know, and I’m trying to control myself but I’m still scared that I might end up losing you because I’m not good enough. No matter how hard I try, I can’t help but think that way. Things like these… they aren’t made for the rebel.”

Sterling's POV:

I leaned down and pressed a gentle kiss to her lips, pulling away to look her in the eye kindly. "That's okay, Eden. I wanted to learn who you are, and I meant that. You're not annoying, I promise. I still like you the way you are. If anything, I might like you even more, now that you've trusted me enough to be open about this. So thank you for trusting me."

Eden’s POV:

I opened my mouth to say something when the bell rang, signaling the end of lunch. I forced a disappointed groan down my throat.
“Amazing timing, huh?”

Sterling’s POV:

“Yeah…” I sighed, disappointed that we couldn’t finish our conversation. “I suppose we should go, then. I’ll catch you after school?”
