Damaged and the Beast (Damaged #1)

“We can still fool around before I need to get ready for work.”


Cooper eyed me and I saw everything in those eyes. The lust conflicted with the worry. He wanted me, but was holding back. I thought about how Skye said Cooper wouldn’t wait forever and I didn’t want him to hold back. If he got used to doing without, he might decide I wasn’t worth it. Or my whimpers were lame or my crying was annoying. He might just find someone who knew how to make him feel good without being told.

“Let’s try something,” he said, pulling off his tee. “You sit here.”

When I straddled him, he tugged off my shirt. His arms wrapped around me, holding me at my shoulders as I pressed my still excited nipples against the hard muscles and soft hairs on his chest.

“I want you to learn to trust me, baby,” he whispered. “Learn to let go and know you’re safe with me. Once you’re comfortable, I bet you’ll be a tiger in bed.”

“Claw you up,” I said, growling like a dork.

Laughing, Cooper caressed my thighs. “I’m kissing the hell out of you now.”

“You better back up that threat.”

For the next twenty minutes, Cooper did just that and I could feel him on my lips for the rest of the night. His lips and mine became attached again after the ride home. I felt so safe with Cooper that I even considered asking him to stay the night. Except Amy was in the next room with Tex and I didn’t want my first time to be with them around. No, I was waiting until Friday night. I had the whole thing planned out and it would be perfect.





Chapter Fourteen


The party was at a large rundown white house where a dozen or more students rented. By the time we arrived, the place was already loud and crowded. Looking around at all of the girls dressed in barely there shorts and tank tops, I wondered if I was overdressed. My ass wasn’t hanging out of my shorts, not that I had much of an ass to show off. When Bailey and Skye appeared as soon as I climbed off the Harley, I noticed how neither had their asses hanging out.

Cooper took my hand while surveying the place. “Fucking freshmen,” he muttered then glanced down at me. “Very few of them are worth my time.”

“I feel the same way about seniors.”

Cooper grinned then wrapped an arm around me. “Stay close. I don’t want you getting lost.”

“Fuck that!” Bailey cried. “She’s coming with me. Skye plans to hang with Tyler and I need a wing chick. You can go play with Aaron. I saw him talking up some stupid redheaded bitch who thinks she’s tough shit.”

Cooper frowned at his sister. “Did she fuck with you?”

“Couldn’t remember my name. Can you believe that shit? Fuck her. I hope she dies.”

“Sorry about the hit to your self-esteem, but I’m keeping Farah with me.”

Bailey shoved Cooper then grabbed my hand and yanked me away. When Skye laughed at him, Cooper focused his irritated gaze on her. Pretending to be terrified, she ran away still laughing.

Entering the packed house, I was immediately overwhelmed by the heat, plus the smell of BO and way too much cologne. Bailey glanced back at me and dry heaved.

“No way are we finding hot guys in this stink pit.”

“I already have a hot guy!” I yelled over Toby Keith.

“He likes when girls make him jealous. It’s his favorite thing. Let’s give Crapface what he needs.”

Following Bailey, I wondered if Cooper was really angry. Probably not since he had a lot of patience when it came to his sister. Yet, I still hoped to see his handsome face in the sea of otherwise average ones. Not paying attention, I bumped into Bailey eyeing the two beers in her hands.

“Are these roofied?” she asked the guy who handed them to her.

“No.”

“You sure? Cause if you roofie me and her, Cooper Johansson will cut off your dick and make you eat it. You looking to eat your cock, asshole?”

The guy stared in horror at Bailey who was a foot shorter, but looked ready to hit him with the bottles.

“No,” he finally said.

“Well, alright then,” Bailey replied, handing me a beer.

“I don’t drink.”

“Yeah, heard you were a nerd,” she said, pulling me away from the guy who still looked like he might shit himself. “I also heard you don’t like sex. I’ve been thinking about that.”

Bailey downed half of her beer then burped. “I had a friend in high school with a small pussy. She was the only girl who fucked Cooper and didn’t think it was the greatest shit ever. Do you have any idea how it feels to have all your friends telling you how great your brother’s cock is? It’s disgusting.”

Bailey finished her beer then dropped the bottle and held out her hand until someone gave her a new one.
