“Where else would I be?”
That silences her, and soon enough, her even breathing signals she’s fallen asleep again.
At first, it’s nice and warm. Her sweet body is barely big enough to make contact with mine. I watch her as she sleeps. Her chest rises and falls in slow motion. Her eyelashes lie like tiny veils against her cheek. I want to lap her up, drink her in from her toes to her forehead. I try not to stare at her lush tits pushing against the thin fabric of her T-shirt, but it’s damned hard. Blood pools in my groin, and the erection I’ve been fighting since dinner hardens into steel. My cock pulses against her side with enough force I ease away so that I don’t wake her.
I’ve never been so hard or in so much pain in my life. The urge to put my hand between us is killing me. I close my eyes and count to ten and then twenty and then one hundred. My body starts to burn. I breathe through my nose and remind myself that she’s injured. Her arm is in a sling. We’re supposed to ease into this. I’ve barely kissed her. She’s not even eighteen yet.
I bite down on my lip until I taste blood. How many days until her birthday? I will spend that time planning out the best damned party she’s ever had. It’ll be the best one I’ve ever had too.
CHAPTER16
SADIE
I slowly waketo the feeling of warmth all around me. When I try to move, an arm around me tightens. I open my eyes to see Dunc lying cuddled up next to me. The morning sun is peeking in through the bottom of my curtains. I wish I could stay in this moment forever.
I was sure I’d dreamed of him crawling into bed with me. Which isn’t crazy because I’ve dreamt about him many times. A lot more than I’m even willing to admit. He often takes up way too many of my thoughts. He’s a temptation that I want badly to give in to fully, but it scares the hell out of me. But watching Cooper and my mom together makes me want that same kind of love.
Is Dunc capable of that? He can tend to be on the bossy side. He’s also pointed out multiple times that he can be an asshole. The funny thing is for as much as he proclaims he is one, I can only recall being on the end of his assholeness once. He doesn’t look the part as he’s lying next to me.
I watch him for a minute, taking all of his features in. It’s something that I don’t often get to do because his eyes are constantly on me. I run my fingers through his short hair. His eyes fly open. When they lock on mine, a smile tugs at his lips. It’s not something he does often. It makes my heart flutter.
“Morning,” I whisper, suddenly feeling shy.
“Morning, beautiful.” He snuggles into me.
“I like when you're sweet.”
“I like when you touch me.” I go back to running my fingers through his hair. “When was I not sweet to you?”
“That day at school.”
He lifts his head. “When?”
“When you were coming out of the school and I was going in.”
“I have no clue what you’re talking about.” He really does seem confused.
“It was the day your dad kidnapped my mom.” His brows pull together.
“You said something like you’re not interested in me and then dropped the f bomb.” It still stings even now, remembering his words.
“I have no clue what you’re talking about, but if I did say that I wasn’t talking to you because I’ve always been interested.” I can’t help but smile at that. “Shit. I remember. I thought it was Rose that said hi to me.” I drop my hand at the name. “What?” He grabs my hand.
“Sadie.” A knock sounds at my door before it pushes open. “How are you feeling?” Mom asks, flipping my light on. Her eyes widen. I want to pull the blanket over my head.
“Morning,” Dunc says, not the least bit embarrassed. He sits up.
“Morning,” my mom mutters back, obviously at a loss for words because she’s still in shock.
“How’s your arm, babe?” Dunc re-asks my mom’s question.
“Better.” I manage to get one word out.
“Are you up for school?”
“Yeah.”
“All right. I’ll see you downstairs.” She turns, closing the door behind her.
