“Positive. You kids go have fun,” I say, using the tone a benevolent aunt would use when sending her horny niece to fool around—as if I didn’t have a vested, adult-turned-randy-teen interest in the game.

I kiss Winter goodnight, wink at Logan, then rush inside and toward the elevators before anyone can stop me.

When Archie opens his door five minutes later, he greets me with an infuriating, “What took you so long?”

I jokingly poke him in the chest with a finger while pushing him into the room. “Well, next time try not to mention a secret romantic rendezvous in front of my sister and I’ll be faster.”

“She was hounding me like a dog; I had to throw her a bone.”

“Because it’d be so impossible for you not to get laid.” I try to make my comment sound playful and teasing, but the words come out more nagging than I intended.

“I have a healthy sex life; what’s wrong with that?”

“I don’t know, you tell me.” I hate the tone of my voice as I speak, how it sounds all but indifferent.

Archie shrugs in a non-answer.

So, I prod him a little more. “If I remember correctly, you came back from the trip to Thailand empty-handed. No conquests made.”

He comes dangerously close to me. “That’s because I had met the wrong Knowles twin.”

“Oh, so now I’m therightKnowles twin?”

“Why are you being like this?” Archie frowns. “Did I do something wrong?”

“No, no. It’s not you. I just realized I don’t know anything about you.” I throw my hands up, a little exasperated. “Where are you from? What was your major in college? Who was your first kiss?”

“I don’t know those things about you either.”

Right. Because this isn’t that kind of relationship.

Archie walks closer to me, his fingertips brushing up my arms. “Can’t you be okay just knowing how much I want you right now?”

He drops a kiss on my neck and all coherent thought is lost to me. Why were we arguing?

“Knowing how much this little bow at the back of your neck has been teasing me all night,” Archie whispers. “I’ve so been looking forward to untying it.” He pulls at the strings unbearably slowly, eyes locked on mine.

I shift my gaze lower, to his lips, and he puts me out of my misery with a deep kiss just as my dress slips down my body and pools at my feet.

His hands travel up my sides, tracing invisible patterns on my skin. As his thumbs stroke the bare skin of my back, goosebumps rise all over my body. I shiver even when the heat between us is palpable, and I find myself struggling to catch my breath. With a soft moan, I part my lips for him, and he deepens the kiss. He tastes of desire, and the promise of a night I’m never going to forget.

Breaking the kiss, I push back from him and step out of the dress pool. I’m left standing only in my high heels and underwear, exposed but not embarrassed. To be honest, I’ve never felt sexier.

“Certain things are worth waiting for,” I say.

Archie’s eyes darken with desire, and he scoops me up into his arms. “I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”

ARCHIE

A few earth-shattering orgasms later, I’m on my belly about ready to pass out when Summer trails her fingertips over my naked butt cheeks. The soft caresses have me alert again at once.

“Are these the scars from your injury in Thailand?” she asks.

“Yep,” I say, not moving. Feeling glad for the first time that my ass got filleted last year.

“How did you get them again?”
