Page 89 of Your Side of the Offense

When we are in our space, it is unlike anything else I've ever experienced. The sexuality is so raw, a safe space for all of us, no judgments, only pleasure.

By the time we finish, I am so exhausted I can't move, and after resting, they clean me up. But by then my eyes are barely open.

Caleb dresses me in one of Archer's shirts and I bury my face in his chest, holding his waist because I don't have the energy to stand. After Arch changes the linen, they pull me between them. I lay on Caleb's chest, sleepy, but want to say something.

"Thank you for coming, Cal. I really missed you. To—" My brain fails me as I forget what I wanted to say and thinking becomes too hard.

As I'm descending into sleep, I feel a kiss on my forehead and neck and someone says, "I love you, Summer."

I don't think about it. "Love you too…" then blackness shrouds me.

I find Archer staring at me when I wake up. My mind and body remember last night. I have always loved that morning-after feeling I get after a thorough dicking, the delicious pain; I live for it. The ache between my thighs, my muscles feeling the exercise. My jaw aching. I love it all.

But Caleb isn't here. And it hurts more than I thought it would.

"Where is Caleb?"

"I asked him to leave."

Furrowing my brows, I ask, "Why?"

"I didn't know how you'd react," he admits.

"Oh," I muse.

"I'm sorry if you didn't want that. I wasn't sure…"

"How I'd react in the morning," I finish for him.

His eyes communicate exactly that.

I swallow my emotions before I force a smile at him. It's probably for the best Caleb isn't here. He might not be as patient as Arch, and he’ll want answers I'm not ready for.

"I was hoping he'd make love to me," I croon as I snake my hands around Arch’s neck.

"Oh?" He smirks. "I can bring him for you. I'm sure he's sulking wherever he is anyway."

I grin. "No, now you have to give it to me, Deltona."

"Making love, you say?"

"Uh-huh."

He gets on top of me and kisses my body, and I open wide for him, and he gives me everything.

Hanging my head in the shower, I let the water run over my myriad of thoughts. I hadn't talked to Caleb about my wish to keep things on the dl, but I guess there really isn't a dl now that a third person is involved. I honestly don't know what I am going to do.

My plan is to take it one hour at a time. My phone is still off, and I just don't know what state of mind Logan is going to be in. I feel like a lot changed last night.

I need to breakup with him, but the big Halloween party next week. Wouldn't it be rude and mean of me to breakup with him right before then? Maybe I can hold on for another week and I’ll end it on Saturday. My last courtesy to him. I don't have to see him at all this week. I'll just be busy with schoolwork and hide at the library. I have to get my shit together.

When I finish showering, I step out and find Harvey at the door. I don't react. I just give him a small smile and he just stares at me. His gaze follows me as I walk to Arch's room.

I find the room sparkling. No evidence of any nighttime fornication.

My clothes are folded neatly on the bed. I borrow his moisturizers, and he doesn't say anything, just watches me. Looking at my clothes, the skirt looks really short now, especially because I'm not going to wear my underwear.
