“Holy shit.”

Tadhg’s feet came to an abrupt stop the minute his eyes landed on a beautiful girl, with the face of an angel, sitting on the wall at the entrance of the school.

“What?” Joey demanded, looking around them. “Where’s the fire?”

“There.” Struck dumb at the sight of her, Tadhg pointed to the girl. “Her.”

“I don’t know her,” Shannon noted. “She must be a first year.”

Looking like nothing his eyes had ever seen, he watched as she sucked on a Chupa Chups lollypop, entirely uninterested in the lad attempting to talk to her, while her long legs dangled from the wall.

“Jesus Christ.” Tadhg blew out a breath. “I don’t care if you’re in a relationship. You can’t deny that girl is the best-looking thing your eyes have ever seen.”

It was at the exact moment in time that her gaze flicked to his.

The minute their eyes collided, he felt a pang of heat shoot straight to his chest.

Holy fuck.

When he met her gaze head on, he fully-expected her to blush and look away.

She didn’t.

Instead, she tilted her head to one side and studied Tadhg with a similar look to the one he was sure that he was sporting.

Arching her brow, she slowly removed the lollypop from her mouth, and gave him an expectant look.

His gaze flicked questioningly to the dark-haired lad still trying and failing to garner her attention before returning to her face.

With a defiant tilt of her chin, she gave him a look that said what are you waiting for?

Well shit.

What was he waiting for?

Joey and Shannon steered their younger brother towards Tommen’s entrance, away from her.

“So, are they your keeper, or can you think for yourself?” a female voice asked, and he spun around to find her standing in front of him – and holy fuck if she wasn’t even better looking close up.

She was, hands down, the best-looking thing his eyes had ever seen. “I can definitely think for myself.”

“You saw me back there,” she stated evenly.

“I did.”

“You kept walking.”

Tadhg nodded like a fool. “I did.”

“Don’t do that again.”

Fuck him. “I won’t.”
