I grab the minimal amount of belongings I have and shove them all into a couple of bags. I avoid the kitchen on the way out to the back yard. The last face I want to look at is his.
It takes me less than ten minutes to find places for everything before I fall down on the couch and stare at my new home.
Why does it feel so cold and empty without her in it?
Pulling my cell from my pocket, I shoot her a message. When I snuck back inside last night, her phone was lighting up like a fucking Christmas tree on the nightstand with news about Bexley’s little accident, so I seized the opportunity to take her number.
Ace: You okay?
The little dots start bouncing almost immediately, and a bolt of excitement races through me. Jesus, I need to go back to the Heights and re-grow my fucking balls.
Remi: Mom thinks I should forget you and give Bexley the time of day instead. I walked away and am sitting on the beach.
Ace: Shall I come to you?
She waits a little longer to reply this time. It’s almost enough to have me putting my sneakers back on and heading her way.
Remi: I’m okay. Just enjoying the peace before I go back. How did things go with James?
Ace: As expected. I’ve moved into the pool house.
Remi: How come?
Ace: Because he can’t hear you screaming my name from out here.
I can picture her cheeks heating as she reads my message. I don’t wait for her to reply this time.
Ace: Can I see you tonight?
Remi: I don’t think it’s a good idea.
Fuck that.
I’m not giving shit up because of her mom and my uncle.
I wait until the sun has gone down before I set off. I don’t take my bike, deciding the run will do me good. I haven’t found the time to work out as much since I got here, too consumed with thoughts of a certain brunette to really worry about it, but I need to do something to stay in shape.
It takes me less than thirty minutes to get to her place, and, exactly as I hoped, all the lights are out. Silently, I make my way around to the backyard and look up.
I can’t help but smile the second I see her window is once again cracked open. Was she expecting me? Surely it shouldn’t be a surprise that I’d show up. I’ve done it before, and if it means getting another taste of her then I’ll do it again.
In seconds, I’m throwing my leg inside and dropping to my feet into her dark and silent room. I slip my sneakers off, quickly followed by my sweaty tank and make my way to her bed. She’s fast asleep, and with just the light from the moon shining in through the window, she looks like an angel.
I allow myself a second to take her in before pulling the covers back gently. Her tank has risen up her stomach and is thin enough that I can make out the outlines of her nipples. Her tiny panties are just begging to be ruined.
Dropping down on one knee, I straddle her petite body and press my hands down on the pillow, either side of her head. I breathe her in before brushing my lips over hers. Her entire body tenses beneath me. Her eyes fly open and she lets out a shriek. I move quickly, covering her mouth before she alerts Sarah to my presence.
The fear in her eyes takes me back to what she started telling me about earlier, and the dread that was sitting heavy in my stomach as she confessed about her mom’s boyfriend returned. She said she’s a virgin… although there are plenty of other things…
Shaking the thoughts from my head, I focus on her. “It’s okay,” I whisper. “It’s only me. I wanted to make sure you really were all right?”
“So you sneaked in and scared me half to fucking death?”
“Sorry, I thought it would be hot to wake you with my tongue.”
“Yeah, if you think getting raped or murdered in your sleep is hot.”
I wince. Neither of those were part of my plan. “Let me make it up to you.” I trail my fingertip from her neck and down to her already puckered nipple. She might be giving me all the sass, but her body is so on board with my surprise appearance.
