Bully's Smoldering Apology
His arrogant grin falters as old flames reignite between you.
Lorez leans against the dimly lit hallway wall after the game, his athletic frame still glistening with sweat under the stadium lights, blonde hair tousled from the victory rush. "Oh, come on, don't be so dramatic. It was just a cheap trinket—hardly worth the drama you're stirring up now." His brown eyes flicker with that familiar smug glint, but there's a subtle tension in his jaw, like he's holding back something sharper. "Besides, you know I don't do sappy gestures. Makes me look weak." He crosses his arms over his toned chest, the fabric of his jersey stretching taut, exuding that cocky confidence that's always made your blood boil.
A sharp laugh escapes him, echoing softly in the emptying corridor, his hooded eyes narrowing as he steps closer, invading your space with his tall, possessive stance. "Pathetic? That's rich coming from you, always trailing after me like a lost puppy back in the day." His voice drips with sarcasm, but his gaze lingers a beat too long on your face, tracing the anger there with an intensity that feels almost hungry. "Admit it, you loved the attention—even when I made you squirm." He tilts his head, a playful smirk curling his lips, the scent of his post-game musk—sweat mixed with fresh cologne—wafting toward you, stirring unwelcome heat.
Lorez's smirk fades slightly, his lively eyes darkening as he uncrosses his arms, one hand raking through his messy fade haircut in a rare show of frustration. "Leave you alone? Where's the fun in that? You've always been my favorite target—gets my blood pumping like nothing else." He closes the gap further, his breath warm against your skin now, the heat from his body radiating through the thin air between you, making the hallway feel smaller, more charged. "But fine, if it's hate you want, let's cut the bullshit. That gift? It pissed me off because it reminded me of what I threw away." His voice lowers, laced with dry humor masking vulnerability, fingers twitching as if itching to touch.
He exhales sharply, his boyish face flushing under the fair skin, a mix of embarrassment and defiance flashing in his detailed brown eyes as he leans in even closer. "Yeah, well, private school turned me into this arrogant prick, and I leaned into it hard. Thought it made me untouchable." The admission hangs heavy, his toned muscles tensing under the jersey, the glossy sheen of sweat on his neck catching the light, inviting your gaze. "But seeing you tonight, all fired up? It hit me—maybe I miss the old us. The one where you didn't look at me like you wanted to punch me... or something else." His words trail off with a witty edge, that flirty smugness creeping back, his hand brushing your arm lightly, sending a spark of electricity through the contact.
Lorez's eyes light up with surprise, then that possessive gleam takes over, his petite yet athletic frame shifting to pin you gently against the wall without fully committing. "Parts of it, huh? Careful, that sounds dangerously close to admitting you still care." His voice is husky now, laced with humor but undercut by genuine craving, the warmth of his body pressing nearer, the texture of his skin brushing yours like a promise. "Tell me, what parts? The late-night talks, or the way I'd tease you until you blushed like you are now?" He traces a finger along your jawline, slow and deliberate, his breath quickening as he watches your reaction, the air thickening with unspoken desire.
A low chuckle rumbles from his chest, vibrating against you as he tilts his head, his short messy hair falling into his lively eyes, which now burn with lustful intent. "Not all bad? That's the understatement of the year. I bet you secretly loved how I'd get under your skin—still do." The hallway's dim lights cast shadows that accentuate his handsome, emo-tinged features, his fair skin flushing deeper as his hand slides to the nape of your neck, fingers tangling gently in your hair with dominant ease. "God, you're killing me here. All that fire in you... it's always driven me crazy." His lips hover inches from yours, the scent of him—salty sweat and something sweeter—filling your senses, his body trembling faintly with restrained need.
Lorez's breath hitches, his smug confidence cracking into raw hunger as he presses his forehead to yours, the heat of his athletic body molding against you in the secluded corner. "Show you? Bold move. You sure you can handle what I've been holding back all these years?" His free hand grips your waist, pulling you flush, the firm muscle of his toned abs pressing through his clothes, sending waves of warmth and texture that make your pulse race. "It's this—wanting to own every glare, every comeback, turn it into something that leaves us both breathless." His lips brush your ear, voice a whisper of sarcasm-tinged seduction, his heart pounding audibly against your chest, vulnerability peeking through his prideful facade.
His eyes lock onto yours, dark and alluring, as a shiver runs through his frame, the playful flirty edge sharpening into something possessive and urgent. "Challenge accepted. But remember, you asked for this—no backing out now." He captures your lips in a teasing graze, not quite a full kiss, his tongue flicking out to taste the tension, while his hands roam lower, fingers digging into your hips with just enough pressure to elicit a gasp. "Feel that? That's me finally dropping the act. Your turn to decide if you want more." The air hums with electricity, his body heat enveloping you like a drug, every inch of his sexy, perfect form poised and waiting, breath ragged against your skin.
Lorez groans softly, the sound vibrating through you as his control frays, his blonde hair brushing your cheek while he deepens the contact, lips parting yours with insistent hunger. "More it is. Fuck, you've no idea how long I've wanted to hear that." His hands slide under your shirt, palms hot and calloused against your skin, tracing patterns that ignite trails of fire, his athletic body grinding subtly closer, the hardness of his arousal evident and pressing demandingly. "Tell me what you need—your voice like that... it's undoing me already." Sweat beads on his glossy skin anew, not from the game but from the building inferno between you, his brown eyes half-lidded with craving, every tremble betraying how deeply he's affected.
