“Psst, could you two be any cuter?” Marissa tipped the bottle of lukewarm beer in our direction, grinning like a fool.
Penny giggled from her position between my legs as I perched on one of the overturned trunks.
In usual fashion, Troy led the circle in song while we toasted marshmallows and drank warm beer. Tina had already given the whole ‘don’t fool around with each other speech,’ earning Penny and me a stern glance.
We knew the rules though.
After tomorrow, we had to keep our hands to ourselves—for the most part.
If Troy and Tina thought I was going to go ten weeks without kissing or making love to Penny, then they were more deluded than I realized.
It was all about discretion, and I intended to be discreet.
After all, it was what I did best.
“Are you okay?” I brushed Penny’s ear with my lips and felt her body shudder. My dick twitched behind my shorts.
Perhaps ten weeks was going to be harder than I first thought.
She turned her head slightly and whispered, “I’m fine. Now pay attention.”
Her warm breath lingered against my face, and I closed my eyes, lost in her. “I can’t. You’re distracting me.”
She started to shuffle forward. “Maybe I should sit somewhere else?”
“Not happening.” I looped my arms around her tighter, drawing her back to me.
Troy continued to sing but kept winking in our direction, the fucker. But for as goofy as he was, he had been a great friend over the last seven years. He and Tina had given me a chance, no questions asked, and in an ironic kind of way, the owners of a camp for fostered kids had saved me.
If it hadn’t been for Camp Chance that first summer after I left the Freeman group home, who knows where I would be now.
The music stopped, and this year’s cohort of staff broke off into their own smaller groups.
New faces had replaced a couple of the regular counselors, and Tina sat with them to fill them in on the dos and don’ts, no doubt. Where Troy was carefree, she was uptight, but they worked.
In fact, I’d never seen a couple stronger than the two of them. Although I’d like to keep them a run for their money now I had Penny back in my life.
Marissa stood and dusted herself off and came to sit with us. “I missed you guys.”
“We told you. The door’s always open.”
“Not too open, though,” I added, smirking at Marissa.
She scowled and flipped me off.
“Ignore him. He’s just jealous at the thought of sharing me,” Penny said, amusement heavy in her voice.
I rested my chin on her shoulder. “Damn right, I’m not sharing.”
“I don’t know whether to cry or puke watching the two of you. I mean, we’re all glad you sorted your shit out, but we can’t all be lucky enough to find our lobsters.” Marissa leaned over to kiss Penny’s cheek. “Show a little thought for the rest of us, yeah?”
We watch her sashay away and join the regular staff. Everyone was busy talking, catching up, and stuffing their faces with Troy’s grilling efforts. Now was my chance.
“Come on.” I pulled Penny up with me and curled my hand around hers.
“Blake, we can’t just leave. Everyone will notice.” The caution in her voice was so fucking cute.
