Sofia was hardly your typical sixteen-year-old, just one of the reasons she drove him so insane She was tall, and had filled out beautifully in all the right places Her dark hair was longer than ever, and though she probably didn’t even realize it, she exuded sensuality The way she gazed at him sometimes with those beautiful bedroom eyes of hers nearly did him in

Eric took her hand as soon as she was all the way in She sers ever so lightly over his It was all he could do to hold back putting his hand behind her neck and kissing those beautiful lips

"Do you have to takeeyes

Eric groaned This wasn’t the first time she’d asked him that Just like the last time she’d asked, the temptation to take her back to his house overwhelmed him His dad wasn’t home, and they’d have the whole place to themselves, but hea first move of his own, he kissed her hand Her eyes widened "You know I do, Sof"

She let out a disappointing sigh "Then will you co, andabout it"

Over the years, Eric had been over the Moreno’s residence plenty of ti with his single dad, orking constantly, Mrs Moreno knew he rarely got a ho He’d always get invited to coel and his brothers didn’t think anything of it Theymore time in their kitchen than they did, but they’d always treated his of guilt about the things he’d been thinking lately when he was around Sofia

He sat at the center aisle of their kitchen, forced to watch Sofia as she moved around the roo drea for soerator and he nearly fell off the barstool

Sofia pulled out the whip cream bottle and walked over to the pie in front of him She squirted some on it, then some in hereyes of hers seemed to taunt him so ing hor the development in his pants If Mrs Moreno or anyone walked in, there’d be no way he could stand up without it being noticeable

Sofia giggled, and squirted a little lanced around "Stop"

"Stop what?" Those big innocent eyes appeared genuinely confused

"That" He pointed at the can of whip cream in her hand, then tried, unsuccessfully, to adjust hionna to be able to walk for a while thanks to youirmanks to You better hope no one co of that nature to her, but things felt different lately It took a second to register, but when it did, instead of blushing like Eric thought she ain She squirted soer, then slowly, licked it clean Eric squeezed his eyes shut, sitting up straight "You evil little girl"

Sofia laughed and walked back toward the refrigerator "In case you haven’t noticed, I’irl anymore, Eric"

"Oh, I’ve noticed" Had he ever

She turned and smiled "Good, now can you please tell my brothers that?"

Good luck They all still spoke of her, and treated her, as if she was this fragile little flower The only good thing about that was it kept the guys away Guys he knew had to be watching and waiting

Lately, even Eric was having a hard tiel thought he just felt the same protectiveness they all did He did, but not for the reasons Angel thought He had to break down soon and talk to Angel He couldn’t hold back irlfriend now Her name was Sarah, and she was on the track team with Sofia Sofia liked her a lot, but etting with Eric now

They walked back to the gy off the field, as well, done with their practice The guys usually yirls this tie Only Angel kept walking toward theirls the time of day

Eric and Romero, however, stopped to chat Rohed about soirls leaned into Eric playfully and touched the curls on his head The very curls Sofia had only begun running her fingers through in the past week during their tilanced in Sofia’s direction, and she looked away She felt her skin crawl Too irls It was so unfair With just about every guy in school well aware of her brothers, and recently even Ro brother act, Eric would never have to deal with seeing her with other guys

She gulped hard, staring straight ahead She hated this feeling, and lately it was getting worse Every tis they’d done with girls, she wanted to screael reached for Sarah’s hand as soon as he was close enough He turned in her direction "You tired, Sof?"
