“You won’t want me when you find out,” I tell him through hiccupped sobs.

“I’ll always want you,” he growls, tipping up my chin so that I can see his eyes somehow manage to darken even more with intensity.

Always, he wants me always.

I raise my hand to his jaw, peppered with rough hair from not shaving. My fingers stroke over his cheek and up to his brow. I smooth out the tense lines and then move into his waves. I fist his hair, and as his nostrils flare, I tug his mouth to mine. I’m not chaste or sweet. I want to feel every part of him again, let him take away the reality that is haunting me.

“Are you sure you want to do this?” he murmurs roughly.

“Please, I need you.”

He gives in with another murmured, “Always,” and then he kisses me. So gentle, even when I try to deepen it, he forces the pace and it’s slow, tender.

Taking me back down to the blanket, he worships every inch of my body, with his mouth and tongue, hands and fingers, then finally, his body.

Hard, yet soft at the same time, he takes me with a soothing glide, yet I scream his name as I crash around him.

Tears streak down the sides of my face and into my hair. We stay like that for what seems like hours, him still inside of me, and he whispers words that I once thought I’d never hear again.

“I love you. I love you so damn much.”

“Are you excited?” Dad asks me as he takes out a Tupperware from the fridge with last night’s lasagna in it.

“Excited is an understatement,” I reply enthusiastically, gaining one of his deep belly laughs.

“Understandable. You only turn eighteen once, kiddo, so enjoy it.”

That’s not the only reason why I’m excited, but I leave that tidbit out. I’m sure my father wouldn’t let me out of the house today if he knew what my intentions for tonight were. Unbeknownst to Logan, Quaid, and Carter, tonight I am finally losing my virginity, and I’m going to make sure they are the ones to take it. No way would I be brave enough to tell Dad that.

“Do you know where the boys are taking you out to dinner?” he asks curiously, after he’s put his own meal to cook in the microwave.

“Quaid was able to book Lorenzo’s in the city, I think.”

“Fancy place.” My dad whistles exaggeratedly. “That boy is going all out, huh?”

“They all are.” I bite the corner of my lower lip in anticipation. I have never been more excited and terrified in all my life, but the butterflies in my belly win out over trepidation.

“Well, I hope you have fun tonight, sweetheart. Just be home by one, okay?”

“I was thinking more along the lines of two.” I wiggle my brows.

“You were, huh?” he chuckles.

“Dad, I only have one more week of school. All my exams are done, and these last days are just a formality until graduation. So it won’t hurt if I stay out just a little longer. And besides, it’s Friday night. I can sleep in tomorrow.”

“You have this all figured out, don’t you?”

“I do.” I wink mischievously at him.

“Fine, two it is. But I will be staying up until you come home.”
