We have a nice dinner and then head to prom. There’s an announcer saying each couple’s names as we walk in. There’s nothing like hearing “Aaron Cooper and Rae McKinley” to make my heart beat a little faster.
When we all get inside, the ballroom has low lights and loud dancey music. The six of us dance together with other friends mingling in and out. Slowly, the music starts to get sexier. Some people leave the dance floor, but the ones still on it are gettingcloser. I swear I see the teachers who are chaperoning the dance look away. Like they know what prom night is about, and while rubbing all over each other on the dance floor is not school sanctioned, it’s a prelude to what many of us will be doing later tonight.
Aaron is behind me, his hands on my waist, dancing tightly against me. I laugh internally, wondering how many of the boys on the dance floor who are doing theexact same thinghave boners right now. Because Aaron definitely does. But I guess that’s not a surprise. We’ve spent this last week wanting each other like crazy.
We aren’t the only ones. I spot Miles in the dark corner making out with—I can’t tell who because her face is obscured—but if she has a hotel room here, I guarantee he’ll disappear within the next five minutes. Joel is chatting with some of the baseball boys. Mackie and Sarah are dancing together and laughing hysterically.
As the song we’re dancing to ends, the DJ announces the next half hour will be all covers of classic songs. The first song he picks? Ben Rector’s version ofYou’re Still the One. Aaron and I look into each other’s eyes, the weight of our childhood song combining with the singer of our song now settling on us in the best way.
Aaron spins me around and pulls me in tightly against him. Somehow, it’s even tighter than we danced at homecoming. This also feels a thousand times better. He dips his head down, singing the lyrics in my ear and lighting my body up like it’s on fire.
As we dance, he presses his lips against mine and kisses me. And then our tongues are in each other’s mouths. I no longer even recognize if there’s a dance floor or other people. It’s just Aaron and me. He smells so good. He feels so good. I feel like I’m in a dream.
He stops kissing me and puts his forehead against mine. “I kinda wanna drag you out of here right now and go back to your house.”
I give him a playful smack, then say, “As much as I want to dothat, I also want to have an amazing time with our best friends. And with you. I want to remember this night with you forever.”
“Well,” he sighs, “I can’t resist that.”
As the song ends, he pulls me into a tight hug and kisses me again. A hard, sexy kiss.
Joel walks over to us and whispers, “I thought I told you to keep it PG-13.”
Aaron laughs.
“I think that was completely PG-13,” I say innocently.
Then he leans in closer to me and says, “There was nothing PG-13 about any of that.”
He gives Aaron a wink and walks away.
We spend the rest of the night dancing with our best friends. We take tons of pictures and enjoy some thoroughly spiked punch and then, as the night winds down, the six of us head back to Joel’s house.
Before we even change out of our fancy clothes, we play a round of nickels while eating all the snacks. Apparently, it’s been six hours since we’ve eaten. Once I’ve had some sustenance, I realize Aaron has shed his suit coat and tie. His collar is unbuttoned and his sleeves are rolled up to his elbows, showing off his muscular forearms. He looks delectable.
After deciding it’s hot tub time, everyone goes to grab their suits and change. Except Aaron and me.
“You ready for some hot tub?” I ask.
He slowly shakes his head. “No. I want to go to your room, lock the window, put that chair in front of your door, and…” He kisses me hard, leaving me dazed and starry-eyed. The look in his eyes is so damn intense it could detonate me like a bomb. I grab the notepad off Joel’s fridge and write:
Have a good night y’all. Love you. -A&R
I stick it on the kitchen counter, then Aaron grabs my hand, and we run across the yard to my house before anyone catches us.
We climb through the window and turn on a small lamp, then slide our shoes off. While Aaron locks the window and closes the shade, I shove my desk chair in front of my bedroom door. My parents’ room is at the front end of the house and mine is all the way in the back. Thankfully, there’s no way they’d hear we were in here unless we gotvery loud.
I turn back to Aaron and he wraps me up in his arms, kissing me passionately. Slowly, he turns me around and starts unzipping my dress, but I feel very frisky and turn back and push him onto my bed. I open his shirt buttons one at a time, kissing his chest as I move down, all the way to his waistband. He lets out a soft moan as I undo his belt and kiss above his pelvic bone.
I pull off his shirt and take the belt out of its loops. I push him back so he’s lying down, unbutton his pants and slowly pull them off, kissing down his thighs as I do.
“Beautiful,” he rasps, “you’ve gotta stop teasing me like that or something is going to happen before I want it to.”
I smirk at him and quickly pull his pants and socks off, leaving him in nothing but boxer briefs. With something very hard sticking up underneath them.
Taking his hands, I pull him up.
“Don’t worry,” I say, turning my back to him so he can unzip my dress. “It’s your turn to tease me now.”
