“I wish he could find a more meaningful relationship,” she shares.

“Like ours?” I ask, pulling her into me and pressing my nose to hers.

“Macklin,” she gasps. I pull back and look in her eyes. She’s confused at first but then her confusion morphs into understanding. “There is more here.”

I nod. “There is more here,” I repeat. We stay quiet for a few seconds.

“I really want to kiss you,” she says.

“I want to kiss you too, Periwinkle, but anyone could walk in here,” I warn.

“What if I don’t care?” she replies.

“I’d say you’re horny as hell and it’s your hormones talking, but we need to think with our heads,” I reply. We are so close our lips are almost touching and it feels painful to withhold the kiss.

“He won’t be back too soon,” she says of her brother.

“Probably not,” I agree. I begin to nibble on her lips.

We start kissing and that familiar fire ignites inside me like gasoline with a match. With her arms wrapped around my neck, I lift her and guide her legs around my waist, and then I walk us over to the couch. I take a seat and Ruby spreads her thighs over me as we continue to kiss. When she begins to rub herself against me, all rational thought flies out the window and I slip my hand into her shorts.

“You aren’t wearing panties,” I blurt, feeling her wetness.

“I know.” She smirks.

She unbuttons my jeans and the zipper and wraps her hand around my cock.

“This is trouble,” I warn her.

“I love trouble with you,” she responds as she begins to pump my cock. “Touch me, Mack.”

The sweet begging in her voice has me undone. I rub her clit and slide a finger inside her. She moans into my mouth as she rides my finger. She pumps my cock with her hand and we are both completely unhinged. If Hayden walked through the door right now, I would get my ass kicked but I don’t care becauseright now we are chasing ecstasy. When she falls over the edge, I have to use my other hand to cover her mouth, and she bites me as she comes. I don’t care because it is so hot. I’m going to blow my load all over myself, but I’ve lost control. I’m lost in Ruby. I come hard and cum squirts on my T-shirt and all over her hand. She continues to pump me, drawing out every drop of ecstasy.

I hold her against me.

“I’m ready, Mack,” she declares, and I know what she is talking about. She wants us to have sex. There is no turning back from what we’ve done but if I have sex with Ruby, I know I will never walk away, and this thing between us was never meant to be permanent.

CHAPTER SIXTEEN

Fair Shot

Ruby

It’s the last day of the semester and we all left the house, except for Finn and Charlie because they are having what we will call a reunion. Aaron is driving us over to Fair Shot since none of us wanted to be in the house and hear all the moaning.

Briar and Annie are meeting us there.

“I think we need to divide into two groups,” Luc says. “I’ll take Ruby and Annie.”

Luc is sitting in the passenger seat upfront and Hayden is sitting behind him. Hayden literally whacks him upside the head.

“My sister isn’t going anywhere near you,” my brother warns.

Macklin is sitting between us and he shifts a little beside me. He has both his hands resting on his knees and very far away from me. I’ve tried to convince Macklin to go back to Saugatuck with me, but he’s refusing because he thinks it’s too risky.

“Damn, bro, chill. I just thought the girls would have good aim,” Luc defends.

“My ass,” Hayden responds.
