He growls but nuzzles my neck, and I close my eyes cocooned in his warmth.

Denton - Twenty-One Years Old
Life happens while you’re busy making other plans. That never made sense to me until three years ago when my girlfriend of a couple of months called me to tell me she was pregnant. I knew what I had to do. I would be a father to my child no matter what. I knew that I could go to college part-time and that I’d work to support my kid in any way I could.
I would not be my father.
I would show up.
There was only one problem, I was in love with someone else. I don’t know why I started watching Bre sleep or why we started talking all through the night that summer. I don’t know when we crossed that line of friendship and became something more. But we did, and Brianna has always been the only girl I ever truly loved. I knew from the moment I kissed her that she was the one. But my anger led me to Savanna and everything since.
Before I left, I promised I’d end things with Savanna at the end of that summer. Bre begged me not to, but I’d made up my mind. I couldn’t lead Savanna on.
All that changed when Savanna called to tell me she was pregnant. I knew that I had to put Bre behind me, and so I did.
When my son Justin was born, my world flipped. I knew then what love was, and I swore to love the boy every single day. I tried to make it work with Savanna. But the more the demands of parenting increased, the less we focused on our relationship. Eventually, we both decided that the best thing for us would be to break up and figure out what we want with our lives. We agreed that parenting Justin from two households would not be easy, but we both knew there was no other option. I care about Savannah, I’d grown to love her, but as I lie next to Brianna, watching her sleep, I know that I have never stopped loving this girl, this woman.
She stirs, opens those big green eyes, and smiles at me. I want to capture this exact moment in my memory forever. Then she frowns. “You can’t just hop into my bed like this.”
I reach under the covers and wrap my arm around her waist, pulling her close to me until her breasts press against my bare chest. Her nipples harden. “But you’re so breathtaking when you sleep, I can’t help it.”
She struggles away from me. “Denton, stop. This whole thing is just not okay. I have a boyfriend.” She gets out of bed, and I admire her tight ass in her sleep shorts. She reaches for a hairband and ties her hair in a ponytail.
“Can I take you somewhere?” I ask.
She frowns down at me. “No, I have plans. I have a test on Monday, so I need to study.”
“Just a few hours.” I lay back on my hands, pouting.
She groans, throwing her head back. “Fine.”
She disappears into the shower, and I am so tempted to go inside there it’s unreal. All in good time, I remind myself. I have to convince her that that pussy boyfriend of hers doesn’t deserve her. What kind of a guy gets blown and then doesn’t even finger fuck his girl?
“High School?” She looks at me incredulously. “Seriously?”
“I wanted to bring you to the scene of the crime first,” I explain as we climb out of my car.
“How romantic,” she bats her eyelids.
Her dark blue jeans hug her ass just right, and her pink off-shoulder top looks like a dream on her. She heads in the direction of the football field instead of the building. It’s Saturday, so there isn’t anyone around.
She’s about to head for the bleachers when I pick her up by the waist and carry her to the middle of the field. She giggles. “What are you up to?”
I place her down in the middle of the field. She looks up and frowns. “It is going to rain, Denton. You pretty much have our first meeting covered.”
I shove my hands in my pockets. “I was watching you that day we met.”
She frowns.
“Not like that.” I laugh. “Anyway, you were watching Kevin, and that chick make out right on this spot. The hottest guy and the cutest girl in the school, right?”
“Rub it in,” she scowls.
“Except, under those bleachers, I was already looking at the prettiest girl in the school, maybe even the prettiest girl I’d ever laid eyes on. She belonged out there being kissed by Kevin like she was the sexiest thing that existed.”
A flush creeps up her cheek. I reach out and run my fingers over the spot. “Bre, you have always been the girl I was looking at, and when I couldn’t see you these last three years, you invaded my dreams. There aren’t adequate words for the way I feel about you.”
