Chapter13
Lily
“Are you alive back there?”Nico turns around to catch me dragging myself up the trail.
“I’m pretty sure I’m gonna vomit up my lungs.” My legs give out, and my butt makes friends with the ground.
He rushes over to me. “No, don’t give up just as we’re almost there.”
We’ve been heaving up the side of this mountain for what feels like hours. I suppose it would be more correct to say I’ve been heaving while Nico’s barely broken a sweat.
“How did I let you convince me to do this?”
I don't know why I asked. It's probably because Nico woke me up with tea before we made each other come beneath the sunrise. I keep reminding myself that it's just foreplay. But it was fun and simple, in a way it hasn't been with someone in a while.
When he proposed the hike after our orgasmic haze, I couldn’t decline. I’m barely able to wrap my mind around the past two days and the fact that I’ve actually let him convince me that being fuck buddies is a good idea.
But I can handle my feelings. Or lack thereof.
“C’mon, be a good sport.” Nico hooks my left arm around his neck, forcing the obliterated muscles in my legs to stand.
My feet drag as he pulls me along. “Please don’t make me keep going.”
“Want me to carry you?”
I nod.
He chuckles, hands me his water bottle, and crouches beside me. “This isn’t breaking one of your rules?”
“It’s an emergency,” I plead.
“Good to know I can call a crisis anytime I want to break the rules.”
I hop onto his back, clasping his taut shoulders, and wrap my legs around him.
“Rulebending, not breaking.”
“Sure.” Nico’s fingers dig into my thighs as he trudges up the trail. “I promise, this is one of the best views in the city.”
I stare at my surroundings, feeling lucky despite the exhaustion. This can’t be Nico’s life all the time.
“Are you planning on doing this for the rest of the summer?”
He gives my thighs another rousing squeeze. “Are you trying to say I’m not hard at work?”
“No, not at all. I’ve just been thinking about how you seem to thrive without much structure or goals to guide you forward. It’s new to me.”
“Reaching the top of this trail is a goal, Lil.”
I hate how my questions make it seem like he’s some schlub. “You know what I mean. How do you feel productive when most of your time looks like a vacation?”
“Rest is just as important as work, pretty girl.”
