“Okay,” I repeat, my mind racing.
“Are you mad?” she asks, her voice barely above a whisper.
“No,” I say, shaking my head. “I’m listening.”
She frowns slightly. “Why did you think I wanted to talk about Declan?”
“I’ve seen how you are whenever you come home from spending time with him and Lily,” I admit.
“Chase,” she says softly, reaching for my hand.
“It’s okay,” I say, squeezing her hand. “I just want to understand.”
“I like you,” she says, her voice firm.
“I like you too,” I reply. “But are you into Declan and Finn too?”
She blinks hard, clearly conflicted. “I’m not sure. All I know is that I really care about you.”
I clear my throat, the tension easing slightly. “Will you tell me if that changes?”
She nods, her eyes earnest. Then she wraps her hands around my neck, pulling me closer. “Are we okay?”
I nod. “As long as we’re honest with each other, we’ll be fine.”
She nods, relief washing over her face.
“Can I tell you something?” I ask.
“Yes,” she whispers.
“The thought of other men desiring you and knowing you choose to end up in my bed...it’s hot.”
She blushes, looking down. “Yeah?”
“Yes,” I groan, my voice thick with desire. “I’m okay with sharing you, as long as you’re honest about it. What we have is special and nothing can change that.”
Her eyes soften and she leans in, her lips brushing against mine. “Thank you, Chase. For understanding…and for…everything.”
I kiss her gently, our connection deepening with every word and touch. “Always, Millie. As long as we’re honest with each other, we’ll be just fine.”
She pulls her dress higher, revealing more of her thighs. “You like the idea of other people wanting me?”
“Fuck yes,” I mutter, my eyes glued to her.
She parts her legs slightly, showing the black lace underneath. “So you still want me?”
“Madly,” I groan, reaching for my back pocket. I pull out my wallet and the condom I keep there. “So much,baby.”
“Show me, then,” she whispers.
I tear open the condom wrapper with shaky hands, my heart pounding in my chest. She wraps her legs around me, pulling me closer. Her skin is warm, soft and I can feel her breath on my neck.
“God, I missed you,” I murmur, pressing my lips to her collarbone.
“I missed you too,” she whispers back, her fingers tangling in my hair.
I slide the condom on, my hands trembling with anticipation. She pulls me closer, her breath hitching as I position myself between her legs.
