“You.” The word barely got out.
He peeled her leggings and underwear down, pushing her forward into the counter as he ungracefully undid his pants. Sam’s dick slid into her from behind, his torso draping over her, holding her to him. “I want all of you,” he said.
Her gaze lifted to the mirror again, his expression as fevered as her own, but his eyes were steady as if trying to give his comment more weight. It kind of thrilled her, kind of scared her.
Luna let the tornado overtake her.

“Can I staytonight?” Sam asked a few days later.
“You can if you want, but I just started my period so I might not be the best company in bed.” Luna was used to guys making themselves scarce whenever she mentioned the P-word as though she was somehow diseased.
“I’ll keep you and Duchess company.”
“Okay.” Her heart may have expanded a smidge.
That’s exactly what happened. They lay in bed, facing each other and Sam stroked her arm, his presence and touch soothing.
“If I say anything mean to you while on my period, I’m apologizing now,” Luna said.
“Are you going to say my nose is too big or something?”
“No, I wouldn’t say that because it’s not true. You have a great nose. I don’t like to say anything I don’t truly feel. It’s a curse. If I were to say something, it’ll probably be about your facial hair. Are you really bad at growing a beard? Do you have a shitty razor? What’s going on here?”
“Wow, you weren’t kidding. You just jumped right in there.”
Luna laughed, covering her face with her hands. “Oh my God. I’m so sorry. See, it’s a curse. But you know I’m right. Please don’t leave.”
She kissed his fingertips, and he continued trailing them on her skin. “Sam?”
“Hmm?”
“I really do want to be better. I sent a message to my friend, Tessa, a couple months ago, but she never responded.”
“You can always send another one.”
“I don’t know. Maybe she’s truly gone. It’s not like it wasn’t my fault. I should be able to control my mouth.”
“Have you always been so brutally honest? Were you one of those kids that your mom had to apologize to strangers for because you hurt their feelings?”
“My mom left me when I was four.”
“Oh, shit. Sorry. Now I feel like my big mouth is cursed.”
Luna wasn’t mad. It was as though the door had been cracked into this sensitive subject, freeing her to tell him. “She called a few months ago. All these years of nothing and suddenly she started calling.”
“She wants to reconnect?”
Luna nodded. “She said she has cancer and her new family, apparently I have sisters, thought she should reach out. I said something really mean and then hung up on her.” She couldn’t reveal what she had actually said. It was too horrible. What if it changed his opinion of her?
“Do you regret it?”
“I always regret saying something mean, but it’s not because I don’t think she deserves it. It’s more that I don’t want to be like that.”
“Have you heard from her since?” he asked.
“No. I’m sure they all hate me now.”
