Virgin.

She thinks she’s a virgin.

Can’t forget.

Luna sees me checking her out. I’m also stalling on calling my dad back, and this is a much happier place to be, I’d say.

She touches my hand that’s clamped on her waist, tracing the veins spindling down my busted knuckles. “What would you do to her?” Luna asks, breathy and wanting. “Would you be slow and sweet or…?”

I drink her in. “I’d throw you on the bed for starters.”

She staggers, maybe actually drunk on me.

A grin edges across my mouth, and I eye the bed, the floral comforter. It wipes my smile away.Buy new bedding.Adding a shopping spree to my to-do list.

As much as I wanna get hot and heavy with her, I need to be the older, wiser one and lead this away from the promised land of our desires.For now.Dropping my arm from Luna, I focus back on my phone. “He’s gonna want to meet up…will you be okay if I go?” I ask her. “I can do this another day if—”

“I’ll be alright,” she interjects. “Will you?”

I nod, but my voice is tight when I say, “Yeah.”

Luna frowns, then raises a finger. “Can you hold on one sec before you go?”

I bob my head. “I can, I will.”

She’s already darting out of my bedroom. Orion bounds after her footsteps into the bathroom, and I have no idea what she’s doing.

The past week has been brutal. Our icy streak. Thought I lost her, honestly. Thought maybe it’s for the best…for her recovery. I hate thinking I could be hindering her from getting better. Then with the O’Malley shit, getting suspended, scaring her by fighting him—I fully expected Luna to pump the brakes, forget about me, and eventually play the field.

Tonight, she flipped the script, and I’m more hopeful again. Still, I’ve got some doubts. I’m worried she’ll only see me as a good time. A temporary fix.

With so much on my plate, I’m not letting that nag me right now. Gotta see my dad for the first time after we were in the holding cell. Gotta talk to my dad. Gotta trust my dad.

I run my hand through my hair a few times. Yeah. I can do this. Piece of cake, and I love some cheesecake. I can do it.

I have to do it.

Luna returns with a purple Sharpie. “Stayverystill.” She uncaps the marker.

Just like that, the tension unwinds out of my body. I begin to grin. “I’m your wall. Have at me.” I spread my arms a bit, and she edges so close, my eyes on hers before she draws on my bare chest.

The marker tip is cold, but only heat encases me as she dips the Sharpie down my sternum to my abs. She draws swirls around my butterfly tattoo on my ribs. “On my planet,” she says, causing my pulse to skip, “these are markings of protection. You areimpenetrable.No one,no one, can penetrate you.”

I’m so fucking in love with her, it’s not even funny anymore. “Worried I’m gonna be penetrated?” I ask her.

“I don’t know where you’re going or what you might encounter. Earth is a strange place.”

“You’re telling me,” I breathe, and I take the capped Sharpie from her when she’s done. “You stay very still now.”

Luna smiles, then nods. “I am your tree.” She poses, hands upright, and I feel down her body while I lower to a squat. Her breath hitches as I hold her thighs.

“Nice T-shirt,” I compliment. “You like AC/DC?” I raise the hem of the tee above her hips, exposing her black panties. The galaxy tattoo on her thigh is without a doubt my best work. Think it every time I see it.

“I don’t listen to them a ton,” she admits, watching me with parted lips. “I didn’t know I had this shirt.”

“That’s ‘cause it’s mine,” I say and draw her panties down to her knees.

A whimpering noise leaves her lips, and her fingers clutch my hair for support.
