Page 116 of Never You

“With myentirefamily.” I emphasize the word.

I’m pretty sure it will take Nana two minutes to realize I’m making out in the front yard and about three before she starts to yell to get a room, just to piss me off.

“I have a hard time keeping my hands off you,” he huffs, grinding the bulge in his jeans against my stomach. “Especially when you’re pressed against a car.”

He takes my hands in his, leaving me completely breathless as he covers my mouth in a demanding and dominating way. I knew telling him my dirty fantasy would make him horny as fuck, and I’m not complaining.

A grunt comes from my throat. “If you want to make my sex fantasy come true, I’m not going to stop you, but I’d really prefer it if we didn’t do it in my family's front yard.”

His teeth scrape the skin below my ear, a chuckle tickling the sensitive area. “Fine, let’s go.”

He pushes off me, giving me a wink, then rounds the car to get behind the wheel. A week ago, I’d never let him drive my precious car, but in the last few days, it’s become such a familiarity to have him driving while I stare out of the window. I love the feeling of his hand on my thigh, knowing he’s right there beside me as I watch the world pass by.

We drive to my high school, my middle school, and even my pre-school. I tell him how I used to break my record every chance I got, by getting kicked out of class as fast as possible. I tell him how I spiked the punch at my sophomore winter formal. I show him the tree where I got my first kiss in junior high. I take him to the park I used to play at as a kid, the community pool where I spent my entire summer when I was finally allowed to go by myself, and the cycling track where I used to hang out with all the boys. We buy chocolate orange ice cream at my favorite parlor, even though it’s only eleven am, and we grab a burger at the local diner when it’s almost lunchtime.

It’s fun.

It’s relaxing.

It’s everything I never expected it to be with Jared James Jensen.

An infuriating, yet sexy, pain in my ass for the last five years.

But now it’s all I want.

“Okay. I need one more.” He wipes the corner of his mouth with his napkin, still chewing on the last bite of his burger. He’s sitting across from me, looking hot as fuck with one arm propped up on the back of the booth.

“One more what?” I ask, popping a fry in my mouth.

He rests his elbows on the cold surface, bringing his face closer to mine with that playful smirk gracing his cheeks. The one thatweakens my knees and makes it impossible to resist anything he asks.

“Show meyourplace.”

“What does that even mean?” I ask, rolling my eyes.

With his dirty mind, it could literally be anything involving me naked. But when I see the sincerity in his piercing blue eyes, I understand he’s asking for more than just a quick place to fuck.

He grabs my hand, my heart rate kicking up a notch. “Where did you go to celebrate? To cry after a long day? Where did you process everything life threw at you as a teenager? Where did you go when life got hard?”

I swallow roughly, my mouth turning dry.

“How do you know I have one?”

“Because in the last week, I’ve gotten to know you better than you know, Rae Stafford. And something tells me you’re the girl that has a secret spot. Just for yourself.”

I roll my lips, amused and touched by his comment, because he’s not wrong.

Except, he doesn’t realize what he’s asking from me, because I’ve never shared that with anyone. It’s my safe place, my comfort place, the place where I had my lowest of lows.

But staring into his big blue eyes, I can’t resist it. Can’t resisthim. Not when they flash with a kindness that’s rare for Jensen.

I nod. “Okay.”

His face splits, his eyes dancing with joy. “Yeah?”

I nod again, and he pays the bill with an excited smile spread across his face.

Ten minutes later, I direct him to a secluded place at the riverbank. It’s a small spot, hidden between the trees. There is only room for one car, with barely any space to have as much as a picnic, making it less interesting for the young kids, and I’ve always happily taken advantage of that whenever I needed to be alone.
