“I give you my word. I’ll take it slow, and we won’t do anything remotely reckless.”
“All right. How about tomorrow after school?” What the fuck was I doing? I was clearly finding a way to see her every day until she left.
“Sounds good. I’m looking forward to it.”
We sat in silence for a little bit, and I glanced over at her as she looked out at the water.
“I thought I lost the ability to feel, too. You aren’t alone in that. And you definitely showed me I was wrong,” I said, keeping my voice low.
She turned to look at me as her lips turned up in the corners. Her honey-brown eyes appeared lighter with the sun shining down on her.
“I’m glad to hear that.”
“So that rule we have seems fucking stupid now, doesn’t it?”
“The one where we gave ourselves one night together and nothing more? Is that the one you’re referring to?” She moved closer and chuckled.
“Yeah. Who’s fucked-up idea was that?”
“I’m pretty sure it was yours.” She reached for my hand, turning it over and tracing the lines in my palm. I closed my eyes at how fucking good it felt when she touched me.
How good it felt when she was even in my vicinity.
“Well, I have a lot of idiotic ideas, don’t I?”
“You’ve had your fair share.” She leaned against me, resting her cheek against my chest, and I opened my eyes to look down at her.
“What if we enjoy this time together as friends, with a few perks involved?”
“I believe that’s called friends with benefits.” She tipped her head back to look up at me.
“We’ve just got to be okay when it comes to an end. And Gracie can’t know this is anything more than a friendship, or she’ll get all sorts of ideas.”
“So, you don’t want me to tell your daughter that I’m having sex with you? Hmmm… that’s going to be so difficult.” She oozed sarcasm before laughing a soft, melodic sound that moved around us.
“Don’t be a smartass. You know… the more people that know what’s going on, the more complicated this gets.”
“How about we keep this just for me and you? It’s no one else’s business. Maybe it’ll help us both in the end.”
“How so?” I tugged her onto my lap and wrapped my arms around her.
“Well, for me, I thought I’d just grown to hate sex. But after the other night, I realized I really, really like it. So maybe I’ll go back home, get back to my real life, and be open to meeting someone.”
I flipped her on her back so fast that she gasped. I hovered above her. “New rule. We don’t talk about you fucking anyone else while we’re together.”
“Fine. But you know what I mean. It gives us hope that we can both be happy again.”
“You know what would make me happy right now?” I asked as I pushed the hair away from her stunning face.
“What?” she whispered.
“If I could bury myself deep inside you right here and every day until you leave.”
She smiled. “Good thing I’m wearing this skirt that pisses you off so much, huh?”
My mouth crashed into hers, and I kissed her hard.
I lifted her skirt, and she fumbled with the button on my jeans. My pants were pulled down, and I slid her panties to the side as I continued kissing her like I’d die if I stopped.
