A while after the sun starts shining through the crack in the curtains, noise floats in from outside Rhys’ bedroom door. Everyone is getting up. I should probably bail and figure out how the fuck to sneak into my exam in casual clothes.
Running my fingers through the long dark strands of my girl’s hair, I press a kiss to her forehead. “Baby Girl. Time to wake up.”
“Noooo.” She drawls out lazily, keeping her eyes shut. “Stay here forever.”
I chuckle. “I wish we could.”
The door starts banging then, my eyes going wide, darting to see it shaking.
“Rhysie, Mum said it’s time to get up.” One of the twins yells through the door while the other giggles.
“Yeah, Rhysie. Get up. You have that test thing again today.” The other boy calls, and Rhys groans.
“It’s called an exam!” She yells, and the little boys giggle again before the sound fades. They must have run off.
“Good morning, Baby Girl.” I rasp against her hair as she wriggles closer to me.
“We have time for a quickie.” She murmurs, and I chuckle as her head tilts back and those enchanting chocolate pools look up at me.
“I need to get out of here before your parents find me.”
She shakes her head. “Not yet. I can sneak you into the bathroom to shower. Your jocks should be dry by now, too.”
I chuckle again. Last night, after we finished grinding on each other, I snuck into the bathroom and washed my fucking jocks in the sink. I swear the guys will never let me live this down if they find out. Rhys was, as always, totally cool with the situation. Nothing about sex fazes her. She accepts the filth of it as naturally as she accepts oxygen into her lungs.
“I should probably go,” I say again, and she sits up, frowning down at me. Her face is serious, but it’s hard to see anything but a beautiful dark angel looking back at me. Her hair is a little messy. Her cheeks flushed pink. Her skin is natural and makeup free.
“No.” She frowns. “Shower first. I insist.”
I narrow my eyes at her, and she raises a single dark brow in challenge. I could argue all day with her just to see that fire in her eyes, but now isn’t the time, so I nod, giving into her. If she wants me to take a shower before I leave, then I will. Hell, I probably reek.
At my nod, Rhys leaps up from the bed, somehow fuelled with enough energy to push ten trucks. She’s so much like Simon in this respect. Balls of fucking energy and personalities to match.
“Come on, Big Guy. Let’s sneak you into the bathroom again.” She stands expectantly at the foot of the bed, so I roll my eyes and slowly ease out of her heavenly blankets.
Rhys peeks her head out the door first before sneaking out to the bathroom to make sure it’s all clear. Then she dashes back in, grinning at me and snatching up my hand before leading me out. Within a few minutes she has me locked in the small bathroom while she returns to her bedroom, so I make quick work of taking a shower, using her soap to clean my body, not caring a fucking bit if I smell like a girl. It’s a Rhys smell, and I’ll gladly drown in it.
My jocks are still a bit damp but clean, so I slip them on and get dressed in my jeans and t-shirt again before using my fingers to style my hair. I don’t know why I bother trying. My hair has gotten too long, and the curls are a wayward mess.
Once I’m done, I wait a moment by the door, listening to hear if anyone is on the other side. When it remains quiet, I unlock the door and swing it open, ready to quickly dash back into Rhys’ bedroom.
I freeze, eyes wide, when I come face to face with my fucking school principal. Rhys’ foster mum.
Fuck!
Chapter Nine
Rhys
My mum follows me into my bedroom, looking at me warily, and once she is in, I quietly close the door behind her.
“What’s going on?” Cin asks, her voice laced with concern.
I debated about what I’m about to do but came to the conclusion that honesty is the best policy with my ‘rents. It’s already worked in my favour recently, and if I want to remain in their good graces with the whole Tyler thing, I really need to prove to them that I’m mature enough to handle it.
“I need to tell you something, and I need you to please hear me out before you say anything. Please remember that I’m trying to be open and honest with you.”
My mum’s brows hitch, and I can see her mind ticking over at a million miles an hour, trying to figure out what the fuck has happened now. When she slowly nods, I relax a little.
