Guess it’s happening.

I turn around to count as Liam and Dani run down the hall. Poor girl, I know exactly where he’s about to hide, and she’s not going to love it.

After I’ve finished counting, I make a play of pretending to look in a few incorrect spots before walking into Liam’s bedroom.

“I wonder if they’re in here?”

Even if I wasn’t aware of all his hiding spots, it wouldn’t be difficult to find them. Liam’s foot is hanging out from under the bed, and I can just see a hint of Dani’s jeans, meaning her ass will be the first thing I see when I lift the sheet hanging off the side.

“I’ll bet they’re in the closet.” I open the closet and peek inside. “No, not in there. Maybe they’re behind the curtains.” I check. “No, not there.”

Walking around the bed, I perch on the edge and hear a suppressed hiss from Dani. Trying not to laugh, I bounce a couple of times—not too deep; I’m not an asshole, in this instance—and then move to check under the bed. “I wonder if they’re…here!” I cry out as I pull back the sheet and stick my head under.

Liam shrieks and laughs out loud while Dani giggles beside him, groaning when Liam accidentally kicks her on his way out. I stay where I am until Liam’s out of the room, enjoying the fact that I was right—Dani’s ass is practically in my face, and I have to fight the urge to squeeze it.

“My turn to count!” Liam calls out as Dani awkwardly pulls herself to her feet.

“Looks like you’re with me, Annette. And I’ve got the perfect hiding spot.”

“I’ll bet. But I think I’m good on my own.”

“Have at it.” I nod, waving my hand toward the hallway. “Liam, we’re not hiding together, so you’ll need to find both of us. Is that okay?”

“Yes. Ready?”

“Go for it, buddy.”

“One, two…”

Dani doesn’t move as I walk toward the door. “Ah, you might want to get going. I’m not sure he can count that high.”

She shrieks and quickly brushes past me, heading in the opposite direction I go.Good luck.

Ducking into the hall closet, I pull the coats across the railing until I’m hidden behind them, then and wait. I can’t hear Liam counting anymore, so he must be on his way.

A minute passes as I sing “Bitter Sweet Symphony” in my head, a smile pulling at my lips. I just get to the chorus when the door flies open—that was fast—then it slams shut again and everything goes silent.Okay, that was weird.

Oomph.

A small body lands on top of me, and when I reach out to stop myself from falling backward, one of my hands finds heaven. Also known as Dani’s breast. “Hey?” she whisper-yells, and I hiss at her to shush.

Releasing my hands, I try to move away, but in the small space, she’s locked me in and I’m stuck. Neither of us speak for a moment until she lays her head back on my shoulder and sighs. “I didn’t know you were in here.”Boy, am I glad about that.“I’m sorry.”

Her whispered words send shivers down my spine with our lips so close that if I moved just an inch toward her, they’d touch.

“It’s okay; I don’t mind you sitting on me,” I say honestly. I like having her close.

Dani chuckles quietly. “Lucky you weren’t lying down, or I’d have ended up sitting on your face.”

I quickly bury my mouth in her shoulder to stop myself from laughing and give her waist a squeeze. “I wouldn’t mind you doing that either.”

I’m not even sure she gets my joke until she reaches back and tries to swat at my head. I catch her wrist easily and hold her there, forcing her body to stretch out as I move my face to her neck, breathing in her floral scent. She smells like springtime and lust, definitely lust. I feel her pulse quicken under my fingertips, and my own picks up, knowing how much I’m affecting her.

“Logan…” she says on a breath, the sound traveling straight to my cock, and I have no doubt she’ll feel it pulsing.

Running my free hand down her waist and thigh, I snake it around to the inside of her leg before moving back up, settling over her mound.

Dani’s breath hitches, but she doesn’t tell me to stop, nor does she move to pull me away.
