Page 44 of Mine for a Moment

“I know, baby,” I murmur, pressing a kiss to her forehead. “I don’t want to either, but we have to.”

She whimpers a little when I pull out, and I glance between us, loving the way she’s dripping with my cum. I smirk as I push my fingers into her, pushing it in deeper. Her eyes widen as I curl my fingers, pressing against her G-spot briefly before I pull my hand away and get up to get dressed.

“W-What are you doing?” my darling asks as I swipe her panties off the floor and push them into my trousers’ pocket. “I need those!”

I glance at her leisurely as I button up my shirt. “Should’ve thought about that before you made me jealous.”

“Archer!” she scolds as she pulls her dress on, her hair a beautiful,sexy mess. She looks freshly fucked, and I wish I could just keep her in bed for the rest of the day.

“Go on,” I tell her. “Go ahead and hug him with my cum dripping out of your pretty pussy, reminding you who you belong to.”

She gapes at me, and I chuckle as I tidy her hair for her, curling a couple strands of hair around my fingers like I’ve seen her do. “You’ll pay for this,” she promises.

I pinch her chin and steal a kiss. “Can’t wait,” I whisper against her mouth, before turning and holding her bedroom door open for her.

She breezes past me, trying her best to hide her smile, and I bite on my lip in an attempt to suppress my own grin as I follow her down the stairs.

“There you are,” Ezra says the moment we walk out into the backyard. His gaze moves between the two of us, and we both tense. “Where were you?”

I hesitate when Sera shoots me a panicked look. “Serenity didn’t feel too well,” I tell him. “So I brought her some meds and checked up on her.”

He stares at his sister just a little too long for my liking, and my heart begins to race. Can he tell that she looks just a little different? That her hair is messier and her clothes aren’t as tidy? That she’s still breathing a little harder than usual, and that her lips are just a little swollen?

“I’m glad you feel better,” he says, placing his hand on her shoulder before glancing at me. “Thanks for looking after my little sister,” he says, but his words are entirely at odds with the cold look in his eyes.

“I’ll drive,” Ezra says as we walk out of the house. Archer frowns, but he throws my brother the keys to his car nonetheless.

“You love sleeping in the car,” I remind him. “Why would you want to drive?”

Ezra pauses with his hand on the door and glances over at me. “Just felt like it,” he says, his tone oddly frustrated. I roll my eyes as I get in the back seat, only for Ezra to scowl at me through the rearview mirror. “So you’ll argue endlessly to have the front seat when it’s Archer that’s driving, but not when I’m behind the wheel?”

I yank the seat belt and put it on, irritated. I’d been looking forward to sitting next to Archer on the drive back, and not only did Ezra throw a wrench in my plans, he’s also being annoying about it. “It’s his car!”

Archer just shakes his head and sighs as he sits down in my seat, adjusting the chair and messing up all my settings. He glances over his shoulder and throws me a sweet smile as Ezra pulls out of Mom and Dad’s driveway, but it doesn’t stop me from sulking. It’s silly, butI really enjoyed the way he held my hand on the drive here, and there was something so peaceful and intimate about chatting in hushed voices as the scenery passed us by. Instead, I sit back and listen to Ezra and Archer discuss sports scores and work.

“Can I have your phone?” I ask Archer eventually.

Archer nods and grabs it from his dashboard instantly, neither of us realizing the way Ezra looks at me in the mirror.

“It was locked,” he says, his tone cold. “You know the code to Archer’s phone?”

My gaze shoots up, surprised he’s noticed something so small. Sometimes I forget just how detail-oriented Ezra is. “He told me the code on the drive here,” I tell him, unsure why that’s something that matters at all.

Ezra glances at Archer and nods slowly before refocusing on the road, and I stare at my brother for a moment. He’s suspicious of us, and I didn’t realize it straightaway.

My mind is working in overdrive as I fiddle with the music, trying to work out what we could’ve done or said that made him act so odd. Was it the way we holed up in my bedroom at the party? We weren’t gone for long, and nothing about it should’ve been all that suspicious. It’s not uncommon for Archer to check in with me and chat for a while.

I bite my lip, my heart beating loudly as I navigate to Archer’s contacts and change my name in his phone, just to be sure. If Ezra truly is suspicious, we shouldn’t take any risks with the text messages we send each other. There’s every chance he’d glance over and read something he should never see, but that won’t matter as much if he doesn’t know it’s me.

I hesitate before replacing my name with the closest thing I can think of, settling onSarah, since Archer often calls me Sera. Our eyeslock when I hand his phone back, and he shoots me a questioning look. I smile back at him, answering his silent question and letting him know everything is fine.

changed my name in your phone because Ezra is acting a bit weird, and it doesn’t sit well with me
