Fallen Desire Read Online Free Page B

yard and everyone’s just standing around hanging out.  It’s a tiki-themed party with decorations surrounding the porch where all the food and drinks are and flames light up the porch and the path to the bonfire.  Some boys are wrestling around while a group of girls are watching and giggling and probably babbling about how cute the guys are.  I’ve always thought boys get a little strange when it comes to trying to impress a girl.  It isn’t that I’m too serious of a person.  The fact is I’m more mature then most girls my age.  I’m not sure if it’s from being an only child or what but most people would say that I’m not your typical seventeen year old girl.  I like to have fun but at the same time watching boys goof off doesn’t really turn me on.  I like someone that can charm me, someone like Ethan.  The mystery behind him has me intrigued and he doesn’t seem like your typical jock.  He gives off this calm and protective vibe when I’m around him.  It’s like I can feel the emotions coming off of him.  He’s definitely more on the serious side, but I can tell there’s room for fun in his life…and hopefully room for me.  Still holding Ethan’s hand I follow behind him over to the bonfire, and we join in with the circle of kids surrounding it. 
    “Hey girl, how you doing?   I’m glad you made it.”  Derrick comes up from behind me and grabbing my hips turns me around.  My hand falls from Ethan’s, and Derrick gives me a big hug and kiss on the cheek, obviously exaggerating his affection for me in front of Ethan.  He’s been very sweet to me ever since I moved here.  He has bright blue eyes, as blue as the sky on a sunny day, and his short black hair is a sexy contrast.  Honestly, those eyes of his are the most alluring part about him, they draw the girls in. 
    He’s definitely one of the most attractive boys at my school, and of course I can’t deny that I’m one of those girls who are attracted to him.  I don’t think there’s any girl who wouldn’t be, but I’ve just never really given him the opportunity.  Even though he flirts with me I guess since he’s always with Kim, I’m afraid to interfere in anything that might be going on between them. 
    “Derrick!  Yeah, Ethan here invited me to come so I figured since I didn’t have much else to do that I might as well join all of you for the party.” 
    He smiles and looks at Ethan and his expression and demeanor instantly changes.  Not the same reaction as Kim but definitely not a good reaction.  “Well, I’m glad you’re here.  We’re going to roast marshmallows later, so I hope you join us.”
    He walks away to join a group of kids that are walking around the large property chatting and flirting with the girls.  It’s kind of rude that he just brushed Ethan off like that not even introducing himself or saying hello.  It is not typical of Derrick to be rude; he’s always the center of attention and the one that has all the friends.  He’s one of the friendliest people I’ve ever met.  Now with both Kim and Derrick’s reactions, my nerves creep back and my palms begin to sweat.  The feeling of insecurity flows through me as I’m unsure how to respond to Ethan.  The intensity of my emotions is all so new.  I turn back to him and looking at him causes me to blush all over again.  He looks down at me with those amazing eyes and an expression of lust is radiating from his face.  I want to give myself up to him.  He grabs my hand again and pulls me in a little closer so that we’re standing side by side, hands linked again and looking into the fire.  It’s such a beautiful moment that I forget anyone else is around.  Watching the flames move wildly in front of us, mesmerized by his mysteriousness, I fall into a daydream. 
    “Do you want to take a walk with me?”  He pulls me back to reality.  Yes!  Of course I want to take a walk with him.  I would go anywhere; do anything, just to
