“Since when do you care about sunsets?”

“I don’t. But the girl I care about cares about them.”

I rest my head on his shoulder and finish my ice cream as the sun goes down. Watching the way the sky changes colors will never get old. I could watch it every night for the rest of my life, and each night I’d feel just as amazed as I do right this very minute.

When it’s dark, we catch a ride back to the lot where Tate parked, and he drives us home. As usual, when we get there, we go our separate ways. I shower and get into bed, exhausted from a long day of walking and drinking.

I’m jolted awake sometime later when a hand presses over my mouth. I gasp, my eyes flying open.

“Shhh,” someone whispers in my ear. My room is pitch black, so I can’t see who it is.

But I can smell him. My body instantly relaxes.

Tatum kisses the spot beneath my ear. “I missed you,” he whispers, dragging his other hand beneath the blankets and over my stomach. “Did you miss me?”

I nod, unable to speak with his hand covering my mouth.

“Do you want me to remove my hand?” he asks.

I shake my head to say no, and he chuckles lowly. “You are such a sweet surprise, Devon.”

Tatum crawls on top of me, causing the blankets to press onto me, holding me to the bed tight enough I can’t move. His mouth goes to my neck, licking and sucking. I moan, wriggling because it tickles. But it also feels really freaking good.

“You owe me something…”

I whimper when he nips at my neck, butterflies going wild in my stomach.

Does he really want to collect on that win now?

“And I’m not sure if I want to cash in on it tonight or not.” He kisses the tip of my nose. “I’m not in the mood to go easy.”

My god, this man…

I thrust my hips up, causing him to chuckle again.

“You have to be quiet, baby. Can you do that?” I nod, breathing heavily just over the thought of what he’ll do to me. “If you can’t, I’ll gag you with my cock.”

A moan escapes me, and Tate presses his hand harder against my mouth.

“You’re not doing so well at being quiet, Devon. Are you going to be good?”

I nod again.

“Not a word,” he warns, pulling his hand away. He sits back, pulling down the sheets so they’re at my waist, by his knees. He lifts my shirt, brushing his thumb along my nipple. I bite onto my bottom lip to keep quiet. This is going to be difficult.

Tate gets to his feet, undoing the button of his jeans with one hand while grabbing the blankets and tossing them to the bottom of the bed with the other.

“Ass at the edge of the bed. On your back.”

His tone is quiet but stern. I shift into the position he said, while glancing toward the door. I don’t know if he locked it or not. Dane has no reason to come into my room this time of night. Neither does my father. Not unless they walk by and hear something…

“Take your shorts off.”

Lifting my hips, I take them off.

“Now spread your pussy open for me.”

Swallowing hard, I reach both hands down and spread myself wide for him to see. Though, I’m not sure how well he can see me in the dark. I hear my heart pounding in my chest, that’s how quiet it is. I feel Tatum staring at me, but I can’t make out the look on his face from here.
