VALENTINES DAY
Eliza and Zed peered around the corner checking to see if anyone was coming. Silently, she motioned for Zed to follow. They crept quietly down the hall and slipped into Principal Lee's office.
"You so owe me," Eliza mumbled as she quickly set up her computer on Principal Lee's desk.
"Um, hello...you owe me," Zed laughed. "That's kind of how I talked you into this."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah….and I'm in!" She said clapping her hands together. "Is Bonzo ready?"
Zed pulled his phone out and sent a text, quickly receiving a reply. "Yep! All good to go."
Eliza shut her computer and handed Zed the portable microphone that was used for assemblies and pep rallies. "You've got less than ten minutes. Good luck. And if anyone asks, I was never here."
Zed laughed and hugged her tight. "Thanks, E."
"You're welcome. Now go surprise Addison, Romeo."
Zed flipped the microphone in the air and caught it. "Romeo wishes he was as smooth as Zed Necrodopolus," he said with a wink before running down the hall.
"Let's try that stunt again," Addison said to the squad. "It still isn't flowing right." She leaned over to Bree and whispered, "This routine still sucks." Just as she blew her captain's whistle, the crackle of the overhead PA system could be heard.
"Oh, her eyes, her eyes make the stars look like they're not shinin'…."
"What the..." Addison looked around the gym.
"Her hair, her hair falls perfectly without her trying
She's so beautiful and I tell her every day..."
She gasped, "Oh my God, that's Zed..." She looked over to Bree who just shrugged her shoulders and smiled wide.
"Yeah, I know, I know when I compliment her she won't believe me
And it's so, it's so sad to think that she don't see what I see
But every time she asks me "Do I look okay?"
I say…"
The gym doors opened and Zed walked in. Addison quickly covered her mouth as happy tears sprung to her eyes.
"When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change 'cause you're amazing
Just the way you are..."
He slowly began to walk towards her.
"And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are
Yeah"
When the gym doors opened once more, Addison gasped as the entire Seabrook High Marching Band began to play along.
"Her lips, her lips, I could kiss them all day if she'd let me
Her laugh, her laugh she hates but I think it's so sexy
She's so beautiful, and I tell her every day..."
When he finally reached her he pulled her in close and gazed into her eyes as he sang.
"Oh you know, you know, you know I'd never ask you to change
If perfect's what you're searching for then just stay the same
So don't even bother asking if you look okay, you know I'll say
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause, girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are
The way you are
The way you are
Girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause, girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are
Yeah"
The entire cheer squad, marching band, and everyone else that had wandered into the gym to figure out what was going on erupted in thunderous applause as Zed dipped Addison low and kissed her.
"Happy Valentines Day, Gorgeous."
Addison smiled up at him and pulled him back down for another kiss.
"Mr. Necrodopolus! My office...NOW!"
"So….how much trouble are you in?" Eliza laughed as Zed sat down at their table in the cafeteria.
"I have to put in extra hours helping out JV when the team's decided...Totally worth it," he smiled as he leaned over and kissed Addison's neck. "Thanks again, E. I couldn't have done it without you."
Eliza gave him a look. "I wasn't there...remember?"
"Right...right...I forgot."
"Where's Bree and Bonzo?" Addison asked, looking around the cafeteria.
Zed swallowed a bite of his food. "Mm...they're in the safe room. Bonzo planned a picnic for them since Bree is babysitting Aspen tonight."
"Aww...That's so sweet." She leaned over and gently nipped his earlobe. "Too bad our spot is occupied..." she purred into his ear.
Zed swallowed loudly. He turned and gave her a smile, motioning to the door with his eyes. Addison bit her lip and nodded.
"Well, thanks again for the help, E!" He said quickly standing up, pulling Addison up with him.
"Really you two? You're abandoning me?"
Addison mouthed "sorry" before she giggled and followed Zed out of the cafeteria. As soon as they were out of the doors and in the empty hallway, Zed pushed her back against a bank of lockers. Her breathing was coming in small pants as she felt him nuzzle his nose into her neck, his hands stroking over her waist and stomach with possessive intent. Her senses were screaming at her that she needed to remember where they were, that there were other people around, but her body, too long denied had other thoughts.
She captured his lips in a ravenous kiss, twining her arms around his neck and using her hands to grasp his hair, pulling him tightly to her. His groan was lost in her mouth as their tongues immediately began to duel. His hands moving from her waist up to cup her breasts through her pink cheer top. His mouth never left hers as he rubbed her nipples through the thin material and she whimpered as the nubs became tight and hard. Starving for air, she managed to pull back, panting as his lips refused to leave her body, now planting kisses across her collarbone while his hands continued their torture against her breasts.
Her eyes fluttered open as he moved against her, wanting to see his handsome face, and instead met the startled gazes of two underclassmen. Instinctively, she pushed Zed away, red coloring her cheeks as she heard him grumble and start to pull her back to him.
"Z...we've got an audience," she managed to hiss, watching as her words registered and he turned to follow her gaze. To her chagrin, he simply smiled as he faced the two younger boys, who were still watching them unashamedly.
"Sorry guys," he immediately offered along with his signature smirk as he pulled her against his side. "Valentines Day..." He gave them a shrug as the two younger teens looked at each other chuckled.
Addison tried not to laugh as Zed turned back to her with a smile and a predatory look in his eyes. She wanted nothing more than to give in and pick up where they left off, but she really didn't relish the idea of having an audience.
"Not that I'm not enjoying this," she began, tugging him with her as she moved down the hallway, "But I think we need to find somewhere a little more secluded if we're going to continue."
Zed ran an anxious hand through his green hair. "Split up? I'll check the locker room and weight room. You check the cheer lounge and library. We can check the chem lab on the way. Whoever finds a spot first, texts?"
"That sounds like a plan," she knew her voice was deeper than normal. Her body still pulsing with unfulfilled desire.
"Addie..." he leaned forward and whispered against her ear, "I can't wait to be back inside you," he finished, pressing a kiss against her earlobe.
Addison had to fight back a moan as she felt her legs go weak, images flooding her mind of him buried inside her, his body hard against hers as she shuddered and moaned his name… "We need to go...NOW!"
The library was the winner. Addison quickly sent a text to Zed to meet her. As she waited for him, her thoughts drifted back to the last time they were together, last Saturday morning before Zed's shift at the beach. It was a quick tryst in his bedroom before Addison brought Zoey to cheer practice. She bit back a moan as she remembered the feel of him pounding inside her while he held his hand over her mouth to keep her quiet. Apparently, she had a tendency to be loud. It had been hot and fast and full of promises for later that night. Until she got home after cheer practice and discovered she had started her period.
"You look like you're thinking something naughty."
She squeaked as Zed's husky voice broke into her heated thoughts, her body immediately going into a steady burn as familiar hands laced around her waist, pulling her back against a hard chest, and an even harder body part prodding against her lower back. Without thinking, she rubbed against him, delighting in the low growl that rung in her ears as his hands tightened around her waist and he pushed back.
"Someone's anxious," she husked as she reached for the button at his waist, only to stop as she felt his hands grab her and pull her around so her back was against the shelves.
"You can't imagine," he whispered before he crashed his lips to hers. They were immediately lost in the familiar whirlwind of desire. The kiss deepened as he slid a leg between her thighs, groaning as he felt her wetness through the layers of their clothing as she arched against him.
Addison was moving frantically against him, needing the friction and heat more than she needed to breathe. It had been too long and she was too starved for the touch and taste of him. But even as she felt his hands slide under her pink cheer top and move up to cup her breasts, she remembered where they were. Pulling away with effort, she managed to untangle them, grinning at his groan as he tried to pull her back.
"Follow me," she managed, pleased to hear the seductive tone in her voice as she grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the back corner of the library. She whimpered as he pulled her back against him,
pressing himself against her lower back with each step, holding tightly onto her hips as his lips began nipping at the back of her neck. She struggled to make her legs move, knowing they needed to be out of the public eye if this were going to continue, and unless hell froze over, there was no way she was stopping.
With a groan of relief, she saw they'd made it back to the dark corner behind the old reference books. She felt her back pressed against the shelves as Zed's body pinned her against them. The pain was quickly lost in the pleasure of his hands as they slid back under her top and up to caress her breasts. She whimpered as he pulled the cups of her bra out of the way, causing her breasts to spill out of them and into his waiting hands.
"God, Addie, you're so soft," he muttered, squeezing and stroking as he frantically placed kisses against her neck. He was losing all control and he didn't care. He needed her and he needed her now. The scent of paper and dust filled his nose as he pushed her cheer top up to her neck and latched onto one nipple while his fingers pinched the other. Her cry of his name sent a shot of desire through his body and he pushed his hips hard into hers. "Shhhhh….library…."
Addison gasped as her hands yanked his shirt from his pants and she raked her nails up his back, hearing him moan before his teeth bit lightly at her nipple, his tongue quickly soothing the slight pain. She felt her mind begin to splinter as she felt one of his hands leave her breast and slide down to the waistband of her skirt. She moaned as his hand slipped into the waistband of her bloomers and cupped her soaking wet center.
"Zed!" she keened his name as he pressed the heel of his hand against her clit, running through the lace of her panties.
"We've got to be quiet, Gorgeous, do I need to cover your mouth again?" he whispered seductively, causing a thrill to run through her.
Her body was so close to the edge, she wanted desperately to come, but not alone. Her hands slid around to his waist, repeating his moves and seconds later had his hardness out of his boxers and cupped in her hand. His low moan as she began to stroke sent another bolt of desire to her center and she felt herself get even wetter.
"Addison," Zed moaned quietly as he slid two of his fingers under the heated lace and thrust them deeper into her body. He knew she was close as he felt her hand clench around him tightly, struggling to contain his own whimper as she stroked him harder and faster.
"Zed, please, I need you!" she whispered out the words as she felt him shudder against her.
It was all he needed to hear. He pulled his wallet out of his pocket and grabbed a condom. With a quick movement, he had it ripped open and rolled on. He pushed her skirt up and had her bloomers down to her ankles and she kicked them aside. Reaching for her leg, he pulled it up his thigh and she wrapped it around his waist, positioning him at her core. He fought the urge to rip the lace that hid her from him, but her whispered "rip it!" sent him over the edge and with a tearing sound, the lace fluttered to the floor.
Addison cried out as he thrust forward, burying himself deep inside her body. Zed's moan echoed hers as he felt her warmth surround him, welcoming him home. With a muttered growl he began to thrust.
"Zed! Oh God, please, feels so good, don't stop!" Addison chanted and pleaded as quietly as possible as he thrust harder. The sensations building in her were overwhelming as she dug her nails into his back. The feel of the shelves behind her, cutting into her back didn't even register as she clutched him tighter and moved faster, bringing him closer and deeper.
"That's it, Gorgeous, just like that," Zed panted on the edge of insanity as he pounded into her. The outside world had narrowed to him and her, and each plunge he made into her body. He felt her tighten against him as her nails dug into his lower back and he growled at the sensation. "Come for me, now!"
At his command, she bit down on his shoulder as she flew over the edge, her body convulsing against his in wave after wave of ecstasy. Zed growled low in his chest and emptied himself inside her, reveling in the way she clutched him tighter as he lost himself in the wonder of her body, her moans, and the way she felt against him.
Finally, moments later they both came back to reality. Zed rested his forehead, panting as he tried to bring his breathing under control. Their bodies were still joined, her back still pressed against the bookshelf. Addison felt a wonderful contentment that she realized she'd been missing since Saturday. But as she came back to herself, she registered their position, not to mention the fact that the shelf digging into her back was becoming more painful.
Almost as if he sensed her thoughts, Zed pulled back and slipped out of her. Pulling her gently forward he cradled her body against his, running his hands over her back soothing the imprinted marks he could feel from the shelves. "Sorry, Gorgeous, I got a bit rough," he whispered as she pressed a kiss against his shoulder.
"You know I don't mind…" she giggled. He leaned down and planted a gentle kiss against her lips.
With a sigh, she pulled back, reaching down for her bloomers. She laughed as she noticed the ripped baby blue lace hanging off the edge of a book on the shelf to her left.
"Sorry about that, I couldn't wait," Zed offered apologetically as he reached for the lace, grinning at her as he slipped it into his pocket. "But I think I'll keep these."
Addison blushed as she pulled up her bloomers. The thought of Zed having her panties in his pocket all afternoon, the scent of her strong on them, had her biting her lip.
"As much as I'd love to take you again, the bell is about to ring and I'm still playing catch up from last month," he whispered regretfully as he straightened and zipped up his pants. When they both were presentable, he pulled her back into his arms, simply breathing in her scent as she held onto him tightly.
"I'm really looking forward to tonight!" she whispered against his neck, holding tightly onto him.
"Me too," he whispered, holding on and wishing he never had to let go.
