The car parked in front of the building belongs to them. That much is obvious now. Elias picks up my top as we pass, left drying over the low fence at the side of the drive. It’s still damp but mostly all right to wear again. Only I can’t exactly get changed here without flashing them, and they’re already getting into the car—no time to run back to the bathrooms to change.

Elias is driving, and Caelan pulls me into the back seat with him.

I suddenly recall all those warnings about not getting into cars with strange men.

God. Everything about this is a terrible idea, isn’t it?

Too late to back out now.

Besides, they’re not exactly strangers. It’s weird. I feel like I’ve known them for as long as I’ve been listening to their music. But knowing them through videos, songs, and shows is very different than knowing them in person. More so than ever imaginable in their case. And although I knowthem, they know nothing about me. So it’s an odd situation—a parasocial relationship, nothing more.

What I know should be plenty of reasonnotto go anywhere with them, but self-preservation has never been a strong suit of mine.

Caelan doesn’t let go of my waist, even though there’s no reason for him to still be holding on. We could have settled properly in the seats, but no. He sits to one side, and I end up half in the middle seat, half sharing his, close enough that our thighs are pressing together. It’s still making my heart flutter.

He grins when I relax enough to lean against him.

The drive isn’t long. Ten minutes at maximum, straight down the road.

“I’m not getting out like this,” I inform them as Elias pulls into the parking lot of a big box drugstore.

“Of course. Stay here with Caelan… Caelan, behave yourself.”

“What’s that look for? I wasn’t gonna do anything.”

“I will betwo minutes,” Elias warns.

I had rather hoped that they would both leave, giving me the opportunity to get changed, at least. No such luck. It’s certainly not that I mind the company, just that I’d kind of like to put my tits away at some point.

I self-consciously tug the jacket a little more closed.

“Hey. Shannon, yeah?” Caelan says with a sweet smirk.

“You said you’d behave,” I remind him.

“Maybe I lied.” He rests his chin on my shoulder, tilting his head to tug at my earlobe with his teeth. “Do you want me to behave?”

“Um…” I bit my lip.

This is—this is happening, huh? And Iwantit to happen. Better judgment screams to stop, but it’s easily drowned out by desire and how heady the attention is. I’d felt hooked by them from the start.

Okay. Fine. I like them—a lot more than I should.

Caelan’s lips press soft kisses against the side of my neck as I lean against him, his arm around me. Initially, I thought it was just wishful thinking that they could really be interested in me in return. But it’s becoming exceptionally difficult to maintain plausible deniability for that theory. Caelan’s hand slides inside the front of Elias’ jacket, and yeah, this is happening.

For a moment, I wonder if I’m really going to go along with this because of a stupid crush and the fact they showed me a bit of kindness. But I already know the answer to that is ‘yes.’

He cups my breast, and I make a quiet sound halfway between a gasp and a moan. “Ah… no. You don’t have to stop.”

“You’re cute,” Caelan mumbles, peppering me with little kisses. There’s a hint of teeth in them now, tiny nips that sting in a good way.

I honestly wasn’t expecting this to escalate so quickly, but I can’t find it in me to complain. Not when Caelan’s touch is sending shivers through me, my face flushing and breath quickening.

“Question,” he says.

It’s kind of hard to focus when his hand is kneading my breasts because, oh, okay, that feels far too good, but I make a vaguely affirmative sort of noise.

“What did you mean when you said youlikedthis?”
