Wilde Legacy - Chapter 45

Sierra had introduced herself to the cutie sharing the hot-tub with her. His name was Luke and he was one of her father's co-workers. But Sierra wasn't really interested in what he did for a living.

Her coy flirting wasn't getting her anywhere. Time to get up close and personal. Hopefully Luke would get the hint.

Finally, Sierra's first kiss.

With that out of the way, it was time to think about who she would share her second  kiss with. Because Luke was cute... but he wasn't second kiss material.

She was finally here. "I was beginning to think you'd chickened out."
She shook her head. "Nope. I wouldn't miss this for the world. Now what do you want me to do?"

   "Just stay right here, Audrey (*)." Ryder peeked over her shoulder. "Erica is looking this way."



(*) If you don't remember/know about Audrey's run-ins with Erik and Erica check out chapters 19 to 26.

   "They definitely took the bait." Ryder smirked. "Look at the way they're pointedly not looking this way."

   "Great!" Audrey said excitedly. "Now what?"
"Now we're ready to move to stage two."
"Stage two?"

   "Uh..." Damn it. His parents timing sucked.

Ryder could feel his father's gaze on his back. "Sorry, Audrey. We'll have to delay stage two."
"Uh? Why!?"

Ryder pointed over his shoulders and rolled his eyes. "My parents are here. I'll be grounded until graduation if we make our move now."
Audrey laughed. "You're such a kid!"
"Hey, not you too! You're only two years older than me."

   "The best laid plans of mice and men..." Audrey started giggling. "Your parents show up and your master plan goes down the toilet. You're just like my brother!"
Ryder supposed it was kind of funny. "Okay, so my plan wasn't perfect."
Audrey laughed harder at that. "It sucked!"

   "Ah! You think you can do better?" Ryder snorted. "I'd like to see you try."
"Of course I can do better." Audrey smirked. "You wanna dance while we plot?"
Ryder shrugged. "Sure."

He wasn't yet sure about Audrey's master plotting abilities, but she was a great dancer.

And surprisingly, Ryder was having fun hanging out with her.
