Chapter 13: Playing With Fire
Lily
Her eyes widened. Wait, what? He was going to let her sit on his lap? Like for real? She had just been trying to test him and he said yes! She quickly climbed onto his lap, before he could change his mind, Sommer had told her that he liked her back, but she hadn’t believed her friend. She looked up at him and had to swallow when she realized just how close he actually was. He was staring down at her and she got stuck in his gaze. She leaned forward, helplessly.
“Lily, the movie is starting.”
She pulled back, flushing. “Sorry, I.”
He held her tight and she felt good. The sparks relaxed her and she knew that this was where she wanted to be. He put his chin on her shoulder and she hit her lip. She looked down at where his hand lay on her stomach. If what Sommer said was true, he wouldn’t mind if she held his hand right? She moved her hand an inch and stopped. A few minutes later, she did it again. The closer her hand got to his, the more anxious she got. Her hand hit his and she jumped. His hand flipped over and his fingers stroked her hand. She licked her lips and she flexed her fingers. His fingers slid between hers and curled around them. She sighed and relaxed against him, closing her fingers around his, too. She closed her eyes and as the movie played, fully focused on all the sparks that kept flowing through her. She shifted on his lap and he groaned
“Lily..”
Her eyes snapped open. “Lukas?”
He was staring at her again. What was he thinking? Lily reached up to touch his face. His eyes darkened. He shifted her on his lap and looked away from her.
“Can you grab the popcorn for me?” He asked.
She blinked slowly. “Yeah, sure,” she mumbled.
He held onto her as she leaned over to grab the container. She put it in her lap and he reached into it. She felt his hand moving around in it and she wanted to scream. What was this she was feeling? Sommer had told her that when she had gotten to this age, she had started feeling things for boys. She said it would make Lily’s stomach feel weird, like there were butterflies in it. Is this what she meant? Is this what Sommer called desire? She wanted to know. She wanted… She knocked the container off of her lap as he reached for some more. His hand landed on her lower stomach and all of the air in her body was expelled in a rush.
He groaned. “Lily, what are you doing?”
She got up to face him. Sommer said boys liked it when a girl sat in their lap facing them. She wondered if Lukas would. She bit her lip again.
“Just do it,” she told herself.
She got back on his lap, straddling him. His hands went to her waist.
“Lily?”
Why did his voice sound like that? She put her hands on his shoulders, just like Sommer had shown her. She looked down at him. “Want to know what the other thing that i
thing that I wanted was?”
His eyes changed colors, before he closed them. His fingers stroked her waist.
“Lily, I’m afraid to ask,” he admitted.
“Why?”
“Because I’
I’m not sure I could tell you no, no matter if I should or
She touched his cheek and leaned closer. His eyes opened.
Chapter 13: Playing With Fire
“Lily… you should stop.”
“I want a kiss. I think you kissed me before, but you weren’t there. I want to be sure this time.”
He stared at her. She got more nervous as the seconds ticked by. Was he going to reject her? She shouldn’t have asked. She was so stupid. She started to get off of him, but he cupped her face again and brought her face down. He gently pressed his lips against hers.
Her soft cry opened her mouth and he eased his tongue inside. She melted into him as he kept kissing her. His arm tightened around her waist and he laid her down on the chairs next to them. He moved over her, his lips never leaving hers. He pulled back slightly to look into her eyes. He took her arm and put it around his neck.
“Like this,” he whispered.
Her fingers stroked the back of his neck and he went back to kissing her. Her eyes closed while a feeling she had never felt before started growing between her legs. He pulled back, panting and buried his face in her neck.
“Lily, I have to stop.”
Her arms dropped from his neck. He was rejecting her. He didn’t like her. He He kissed her neck.
“Lils, listen to me. I promise when you’re older, I won’t have to stop. I just can’t right now.”
She swallowed. “So, is this only because I’m a child?” She asked, hating using

He nodded. He ran his hand down the side of her body, before moving off of her. She lay there staring at the ceiling. She didn’t want him to think of her as a child. She- Ugh. She sat up to look at him. Sommer had told her other things that boys liked. She got on her hands and knees and started crawling over to him. She reached for his pants and he grabbed her wrist to tug her back on his lap. She looked up at him.
“Lukas, 1-
He pecked her lips. “Are trying to grow up too fast. I am waiting for you, Lilianna. I will be here when you are old enough to decide if this is what you really want. Until then, these are the only sparks I can give you to feel.”
She sighed. “Alright.”
She nuzzled back into him. At least she knew without a doubt that he liked her, too. That was all she needed to know. He held her tighter and she smiled to herself as she ran her fingers over his arm. Now that she knew, she wasn’t going to give up. She had known for a while now that he was who she wanted and if he was going to wait for her, she was going to wait for him, too. She was so caught up in her thoughts that she didn’t notice the movie had ended until he gently shook her.
“Lily, it’s time to go.”
“Can we watch another one?”
He chuckled and gave her a q
a quick kiss. “I wish we could, but I am going to be honest with you. If we stay for another movie, I’m not going to be able to let you go home and I told myself that I wouldn’t interfere in your life.”
She sighed. She didn’t want to go home. She wanted to stay here with him. She leaned against him again, debating if she should tell him she didn’t want to go home. It had been good, too good. She was sure it wouldn’t last much longer.
“But we didn’t eat our snacks,” she said, fishing for any excuse to stay with him, here in this moment.
He laughed. “Oh, but we did.”
He stood her up and took her hand. “Come on, Lils. This isn’t our last movie. I promise we can do another one.”
“Soon?” She asked, hopefully.
“Yes. Now, let’s go, before to beats me up. She’s already staring at us.”
Chapter 13: Playing With Fire
Lily turned around and sure enough, lo stood at the bottom of the stairs, watching them. She groaned, before she followed him down the stairs and he hugged her. He kissed her lips softly, before pulling back, his eyes on hers.
“Happy birthday, Lils.”
She beamed. “Thank you.”
She watched him walk out of the theater, before letting Jo take her to the car. She looked out the window.
“So, did you have a good time, Lily?”
“Yes. I had a great time.”

She fell silent, running her fingers over
necklace he had given her. The sparks soothed her hurt at having to leave him. Her parents were waiting for her on the porch, pacing back and forth. Sommer sat in the rocking chair behind them, a smile on her face, Jo opened her door for her and gave her a hug.
“Goodnight, Lily. I’m glad you had a good time.”
“Thank you, Jo.”
Lily ran up the stairs and into the house, followed by her family. She was almost up the stairs with Sommer, when her father called her name, angrily.
“LILIANNA MAY!”
She stopped moving and turned back to him. “Yes, Daddy?”
“Who were you with?”
“I was with Lukas ”
He marched up the stairs to slap her across the face. “It’s King Lukas,” he hissed,
She touched her cheek. “He told me to call him Lukas,” she said stubbornly.
“Did
hea
also tell you that he only wanted you for a breeder? You mean nothing to him. You are nothing!” He yelled in her face, his spit hitting her.
“That’s not true. He=”
“ONLY WANTS YOU AS A BREEDER, YOU DUMB LITTLE GIRL!”
Tears poured down her face and she turned around to run up the stairs. Sommer chased her.
“Lily, wait!”
Sommer followed her into her room where Lily threw herself down on her bed. Sommer sat next to her and rubbed her back.
“Lily, your dad lied. You are not a breeder. He loves you.”
She thought back to what he had said to her. ‘I promise when you’re older, I won’t have to stop. Goddess, she was stupid. She knew breeders started at
17. 17.
“Lily, please, listen to me.”
“Go away, Sommer,” she whispered,
“Lily”
“GO AWAY!,” she screamed.
Sommer sighed and laid down next to her. She pulled Lily onto her chest and rubbed her back.

“I hate to tell you, dollface, you are stuck with me, so just cry it out and call him tomorrow. Tell him what your father said. Tell him that he hit you.”
Lily clung to her. “Okay. I don’t know what I’m going to do if what daddy says is true.”
Sommer gave her a kiss on the cheek. “Lucky for you, he loves you. I know he does. Just talk to him. You will see.”
Lily sniffled. “I hope so.”
