“I’m already planning to take a brisk walk every morning,” I say in the most even tone I can manage. I already know I’ll need the daily walks, since I’ll spend the rest of the day at my desk. Volleyball won’t be on, since it’ll be exam season, and even if it were, I doubt I’d have the free time.
“Work out with me,” Lucas says. “Come on, it’ll be fun. We can do it in the living room.”
“Maybe,” I say, returning my gaze to the display of cold meat. I pick up some chicken. “Look, it’s your favourite.”
We finish shopping, Lucas throwing in a packet of frozen blueberries without me saying anything. We walk home, both of us holding a bag of groceries in each hand. The back of my hand brushes Lucas’s, and it both is and isn’t an accident.
I sense Lucas look at me but keep my eyes on the wintery grey street. Eventually, my lips twitch.
“I’m not sick anymore,” he says in a low voice. Today, it’s cold enough that his breath comes out in white wisps. “You know what that means?”
My breath catches, and I speed back to the apartment, Lucas’s laugh following me. It’s only when I’m in the elevator, Lucas leaning against the wall beside me, that I realise that I looked like I was eagerly rushing home rather than running from him in embarrassment.
When we exit the elevator, the hallway is dead quiet. Lucas unlocks our apartment, and I follow him into the kitchen. He drops his groceries onto the bench, and I do the same.
Then he picks me up and places me on the bench, so quickly that I gasp. He leans forward, nudging my nose with his as his eyes meet mine. Waiting.
My heart pounds. I tilt my head up ever so slightly.
Then his lips are on mine, slightly cool from the outside June air. Soft at first, then more insistent, and when I part my lips, his warm tongue slides in.
I lean forward, no longer just accepting his kiss but taking it from him just as hard, tasting him. I’d worry about falling forward, but Lucas is there, keeping me steady. He fits perfectly between my spread legs, and the way he presses into me makes my dick twitch.
I’m not sure how long we kiss like that, pressing into each other, my legs spread open wide while he rocks into me like he’s trying to fuck even with all of our clothes on. But by the time I pull away, I’m panting.
“We — we —”
God, I can’t even talk.
“Hmm?” His hand snakes around, touching the bare back of my neck, which makes me shiver. He drags his fingers to my chest and tugs on a nipple.
I let out a humiliating moan.
He flashes his teeth before dragging his hand downwards. I don’t stop him. “L-Lucas.”
“Mm?”
The heel of his hand presses against my straining erection, and I press my lips together to suppress any noises I might make.
“We can’t,” I say, fully aware that I’m pushing forward to get more of his hand against me. Hell, I throw all of my dignity to the wind and wrap my legs around his waist like a wanton whore.
He pauses. “We can’t?”
“I just mean —” I take a deep, sobering breath, “if we start today, I’ll be obsessed. And exams —”
He chuckles, and I feel it against my breath. “I think it’ll be a good motivator.”
I shake my head rapidly. “No. I know what’ll happen. I’ll want to do it every day, and I won’t be able to concentrate on anything else. I won’t be able to focus on studying for five seconds without thinking about you. About doing this. I’m serious, Lucas. Won’t it be like that for you?”
His lashes flutter. “Failing a few exams seems worth it.”
I make to shove at his shoulder, but at the last minute, I change my mind and dig my fingers in instead. “Don’t be stupid. We’re not flunking out of uni.”
“I didn’t realise you cared so much about academics.”
“Of course, I care. We’re going to graduate together.”
Lucas smiles. “I won’t fail. I’m a genius.”
