Page 39 of Raise 'Em Up

“It was only once! I woke up and saw you changing. I didn’t want to make things weird.”

“I’m going to kill you.” She sighs heavily.

“If it makes you feel any better, Ren told me you were feeling self-conscious about the size of your boobs. If you ask me, they look great.”

I groan, shaking my head at my dumbass friend as he digs his grave deeper.

“Babe. I’m gonna give you three seconds to turn around and walk downstairs, before both me and Rylee jump your ass, and then hand you off to her boyfriends,” Serenity says, stopping next to me.

Alex spins around and moves his hands. “Hey, baby.” His grin widens.

She gives him adirty look. “Downstairs. Now.”

He gives her a kicked puppy look, but listens and leaves.

“Sorry, Ry,” Serenity says.

“Teach that boy to knock.”

“Will do, babe.” She laughs before following Alex downstairs.

“That's one way to start the day,” I chuckle.

Rylee’s eyes snap over to mine, finally realizing that I’m standing here.

“Hi.” She grins and takes a step back into her room.

I watch as she drops the shirt, putting her breasts in full view. “Fuck me,” I whisper, and there's officially no hope of my dick going down anytime soon.

She chuckles. “If you're a good boy,” she flirts, my eyes darting back up to hers. “Be out in a second.”

She steps up to the door, standing there half naked as she slowly closes it, a cheeky little grin playing on her face.

I love this girl. I’m crazy about her. Her personality is just the cherry on top.

Groaning, I turn around and head downstairs before I’m the one bursting into her room.

“Hey.” Colt nods his head when I step into the kitchen. All of Rylee’s boyfriends are here. We’ve gotten a little closer since the winter break, with the whole “working together to bring the Dean down and get Rylee back into school” thing. But I still don’t think they’re overly fond of me. At least, I know Mateo isn’t. And he proves my point with the death glare he’s giving me.

“So, what's your plans with our girl today?” Donny asks me, taking a bite of his pancakes.

“I have a few things in mind,” I tell him.

“Like what? Where are you going? What are you doing? What time are you going to be back?” Donny starts his rapid fire question.

“Wow. Relax.” I chuckle. “You're starting to sound like a dad questioning his daughter’s boyfriend.”

“Nah, I’m not the daddy of the group.” Donny grins. “That would be him.” He points to Mateo. “Hey, Teo, has Rylee ever called you Daddy?”

Mateo sneers at Donny, making him grin wider.

“No,” Rylee answers, entering the kitchen. She steps up to Mateo and his eyes watch her every move. “But if Mateo is into that, I’m sure we can arrange something.” She grins.

Mateo lets out a rumbling sound that makes Lennox chuckle. “Down, Daddy.” Mateo’s eyes snap over to Lennox, who is now grinning like Rylee, his eyes a little heavy.

“Okay. As fun as it is that there's a chance I’m about to witness someone having sex, I think I’d rather steal our girl away for the day.”

“The whole day?” Donny’s eyes widen. “But it’s the weekend. You mean, I’m missing out on hours with my Cherry?”
