“...So we decided not to talk again until she and Scarlett worked things out,” I said, stuffing a Twizzler into my mouth.

It had to be past midnight, but I’d yet to go home. I wasn’t sure why. Maybe I was lonely and craving some kind of connection with someone after the day I’d had, giving up Jay for a while and accidentally pissing off Thalia.

But I liked being around Damien. He was good company. I felt strangely connected to him right now, and I wasn’t quite ready to break the bond by leaving.

My body was still flushed and glowing, completely satiated, after our last round. But it had definitely worn me out. When I’d mentioned how hungry I was, Damien had popped out of bed and gone foraging for food. Now, we were lying on our backs, naked on his mattress, with our legs sticking up and feet propped against the wall above his headboard, drawing shapes onto the sheetrock with our toes as we ate from the pile of junk food sitting between us that Keene and Alec had picked out at the store earlier.

“Damn,” Damien whistled as he unwrapped a mini Kit Kat and took his turn, drawing a shape with his big toe. “I don’t know how I’d handle staying away from my friends for any amount of time just to keep from losing a girl. I mean, life wouldn’t be right without those morons around.”

“Not to mention we’d have to buy our own condoms,” I reminded him before lifting my Twizzler. “And candy.”

He laughed and glanced over. “True story,” he said, only for his gaze to grow tender as he reached over to trace the outline of my face with his finger. “But still,” he added, almost sadly. “I’ve known them since I was eleven. They’re…family now. It’d feel like losing a part of myself if I had to lose one—or all—of them. I’m sorry you had to give up your Jaylani for any amount of time.”

“Yeah,” I mumbled, already missing my bestie. “She and I have known each other since Kindergarten. But…it’s only temporary. Ooh!” I pointed at his bare big toe that was still making a circle on the wall. “Peach. That’s a peach for sure, right?”

“No.” He groaned pitifully. “And don’t saypeach. That’s just going to make me think of your sexy, peach scent—and your ass—and I’m going to get hard again. Besides, this is supposed to be an apple. App…le.”

As he drew it again for clarification, I rolled my head along the bed to glance over at him. And then, because I was feeling feisty, I whispered, “Peach,” as sexily as possible.

He groaned again, but this time, it was with arousal.

The next thing I knew, he’d snagged an arm around my waist and was tumbling me toward him until I rolled over all the candy stationed between us and ended up on his lap, straddling his waist.

Screaming out a laugh, I pressed a hand against his pecs to regain my balance, only to widen my eyes when I realized what I was sitting on.

“Shit, you weren’t lying,” I breathed, rolling my hips to take in just how hard he’d grown under me. Beginning to grind against his erection, I arched my back and groaned, stretching in preparation for what I hoped was a rough, fulfilling ride. “Now I know that all I have to do is saypeachto get you right where I want you.”

His hands slid up the tops of my thighs. “True story,” he agreed huskily just as he rubbed both of his thumbs against me, attacking my clit from dual pressure points.

I gasped and arched my spine so far back that I could feel my hair tumble down my back and spill over his thighs from where he still had his legs lifted with his feet braced against the wall. One of his thumbs slipped inside me.

“Fuck,” I rasped. “Condoms. We need more condoms.” But when I scanned the expanse of rumpled blankets beside us, I discovered a disaster of epic proportions. Sugar, candy wrappers, plus both opened and unopened condom packages littered the mattress everywhere. “Wow, we really made a mess.”

Damien glanced over as well, his thumb still wedged between my slick folds. Then he glanced up at me as I found a package that still had a prize inside it and snagged it up.

“Worth it,” he decided with a slow smile.

2:00 AM

I lined up a row of sour crawlers on Damien’s bare abdomen as if they were stuck in a traffic jam.

Deciding they looked really delicious there like that, I leaned in and snagged one with my teeth before sucking it into my mouth.

“I really love these things, you know,” I said as I chewed and glanced up to find him watching me with a look of complete, engrossed captivation on his face.

“So I see,” he murmured.

Propped on his pillow, he had one arm resting behind his head and the other hand splayed possessively on my hip as he watched me play.

I started to crawl the gummies up his chest toward his neck, parading one piece of candy at a time. “I tried to share some of mine with Thalia at home, and she said thank you and everything, like she actually wanted some, only to end up not touching a single one. It kind of hurt my feelings. I don’t just share these things with anyone, you know.”

After grabbing the one at his throat, I paused it at his mouth, offering him a bite.

Damien parted his lips to accept. He chewed, and then his throat worked as he swallowed.
