“You’re so fucking beautiful, Dani.”

She gulps so hard that I see a lump go down her throat. “N-Noah,” she stutters my name as she arches her back.

My hands make their way into her shorts, running along the outline of her underwear. “Yeah?”

She moans again, but it’s not as faint this time. “Don’t you dare stop.”

“Wouldn’t dream of it.”

I’m so hard right now I couldn’t stop even if I wanted to.

My phone dings, lighting up with a text message from my sister.

I thought Mom would be the one to tell us that she was ready to be taken home.

Fuck, seriously? Why does my family have a radar when I’m about to have sex or right when I’m about to tell this gorgeous woman I’m in love with her?

LIZZIE

LIZZIE

Please come and rescue me. Mom is driving me fucking crazy

ME

Has she officially driven you to insanity?

LIZZIE

I’m getting very fucking close. Dr. Miller cleared me, so I can go home. Seriously, come and take me home. Now!

ME

Calm the hell down. You’re so fucking dramatic!

LIZZIE

Oh, I hate to do this over text, but Mom made funeral arrangements for Dad. She wanted to tell you, but she didn’t know how so I told her I would tell you. It’s in two weeks. I know she didn’t want to have it until I woke up from my prolonged slumber. Well, I’m awake now…

ME

I don’t even know what to say to that

LIZZIE

You don’t have to say anything. I’m still trying to absorb it. All of this

ME

Anyways, we’re on our way to rescue you Rapunzel

LIZZIE

You’re the best brother a sister could ever ask for

ME

Oh, cut the crap. We’re coming. I’ll text you when we get there. Okay?
