It hurt. It hurt to the point that I spent the majority of my day just pushing through work. I ignored Kyle, though it was obvious he was avoiding me. I wasn’t gonna look too hard at it.

I worked through cars a little faster than usual. The distraction didn’t help. I made the mistake of bringing it up to Elle when I got to the bar, but I didn’t get the reaction I expected to get.

“I wasn’t thinking,” I admitted as I wiped down the bar.

“You forgot boys have feelings, too,” Elle said as she sliced limes. “I mean, I get why you would forget that. Especially considering your track record.” She dumped the citrus into a plastic tub for use later. It was still early. “All you can do is lick your wounds and learn your lesson. You’ll be fine.”

“You don’t think there’s a way I can earn his forgiveness?” I asked, something in my stomach dropping.

“How do you think you make up for something like that, Grace?” Elle asked. She looked irritated. “If you’re gonna play with someone like that, you don’t deserve it. I told you to have fun and you should, but it’s pretty shitty to not tell everyone involved that you’re just having fun.”

I gave up asking her for advice. I hated it. Elle was right. This whole thing had been a terrible idea, and I deserved every bit of grief I got. I couldn’t force a smile on my face. I had done all of this to myself.

I didn’t know what else to do. I was at a loss, and the only thing that I could come up with was to talk to the two people that seemed ready to overlook everything that led up to this. Maybe there’d be a clue how I could move forward.

Darius didn’t want to be involved. I needed to make sure that Cam and Adam understood that and why. And make sure they were still on board.

It’s what led me to knocking on their door at midnight. Probably not the best time to figure it out, but I didn’t think I could sit on this another day. Fortunately, when Adam opened the door, he didn’t look frustrated or tired. He looked pleased.

As soon as he let me in, he pushed me against the door. He didn’t give me the opportunity to greet him. He kissed me with a hunger I didn’t expect. I don’t know why I expected him to have a similar reaction to Darius. The fact that he didn’t make me instantly respond.

I wrapped my arms around his waist, pulling him flush to me. I opened at the gentle prodding of his tongue and let him control the depth of the kiss. I didn’t pull away as he grasped my breast. I arched into him.

I needed the attention. I needed this so I could ignore the feelings that had followed me since yesterday. Adam didn’t seem to care. He was more than happy to plunder my mouth.

He didn’t pull away until we were both breathless. He pressed his brow against mine. “I didn’t mean to do that,” he admitted. “But when I saw you, I couldn’t help it.”

There was a temptation to tell him about the confrontation with Darius, but I decided I didn’t want to see his reaction. I didn’t want to be shot down again.

“I have to tell you something,” he said warily.

“Can it wait until tomorrow?” I asked.

“Long night?”

I nodded, and he took my hand. He paused by the couch just long enough to turn the television off. He tugged me in the direction of the hallway. But he didn’t pull me into Cam’s room like he usually would. He opened his bedroom door and didn’t bother to turn on the light.

Adam didn’t give me the chance to hesitate. He sat on the bed and pulled me down with him. His arm went around my back so when he laid back, I didn’t have a choice but to follow him.

I kicked my shoes off and shifted so I straddled his waist. I sat up enough to pull my shirt off and he was quick to unhook my bra, immediately taking advantage of my breasts being free. He sat up just so he could push his face between them, sliding his tongue and teeth along the curve until he found a nipple. The pull of his mouth on me had me wrapping an arm around his neck, dragging my fingers through his hair.

He relaxed back on the bed and reached down to grab my ass, his hips arching up so I could feel his erection. It’s probably what made me impatient. I pulled away from him and he held on tighter.

“I’m not done with you,” he growled against my chest.

“I need you in me,” I hissed back.

That was enough to make Adam groan. He let me go and moved to turn on a bedside lamp. He watched me as I pushed my jeans and panties down. He groaned again and laid back on the bed, arching up off his butt so he could push his shorts down.

“You talking like that makes me question how long I’ll last,” he admitted as he grabbed my hand to pull me back to him. “Come on, let’s make sure I don’t embarrass myself for this,” he said as he slid off the bed. “You have the patience to let me eat your pussy, don’t you? I don’t have Cam here to make me look good.”

I wouldn’t argue. I laid back on his bed, not much bigger than my own, and watched him shoulder my thighs. He didn’t hesitate to press his tongue between my lower lips, swiping it along the length of my opening teasingly. I arched to encourage him to go where I needed him.

He spread me with his fingers, and after a moment, he found my clit. He swirled his tongue against me, drawing a whine from me. I dug my hand into his hair and didn’t resist the urge to grind against his face. The ache in me felt bone-deep, and I couldn’t take it anymore.

Fortunately, Adam didn’t complain. He took the hint. His lips closed around me and he sucked hard enough to knock the breath out of me. A finger slid into me, taking the edge off. He set a quick rhythm with his finger, not bothering for any sort of finesse.

He didn’t give me any sort of chance to adjust, working me to where I was tugging at his hair as all my muscles tensed. I cried out when the orgasm hit, my thighs closing around his head as I shuddered through it.
