“About what?”

“Me being the school’s most eligible bachelor. I’m not a bachelor, and I don’t give a fuck what the girls are after because I already belong to someone,” I tell her. “That someone is you, just in case you had any doubts.”

“Do you think this is happening too fast? I feel like…” Cammi digs her teeth into her bottom lip.

“You feel like what?”

“I feel like you’re consuming every fibre of my being. Like, I don’t just want you near me, Vin. I feel like I need you just as much as I need air. It’s stupid. I’m sorry. Ignore me.” She pulls her hand out of mine.

“Cammi, it’s not stupid.” I want to reach out and take it back—her hand—but I can’t. I can’t touch her if she doesn’t want me to. I need her to ask me. Fuck, this is fucked up. “It is fast, but you’re not alone. I do need you, Cammi. Except it’s so much more than I need air. You have no idea how much I need you.”

“Really? You feel it too?” She turns in her seat to face me.

I stop at a red light. My hand reaches out, almost touching hers, before I pull it back again. Cammi notices.

“Vin, hold my hand and never let go,” she says.

My palm closes around hers. “I feel it too.”

A car horn blares behind me, and I look ahead to see that the light is green. Glancing back in the rearview mirror, I mentally tell the impatient fucker behind me toeat a dickas I slam a foot down on the accelerator and take off.

That was a little too deep and meaningful for this hour of the morning. Cammi is quiet the rest of the way to school.

I pull into a spot in the car park, and she unbuckles her belt. “Vin, how dark are these windows?” she asks. “Like, can people see in?”

I had the windows down when I pulled up at her place. I wanted her to see it was me.

“These are blackout. Why?” I tap my knuckles on the glass to my right. The windscreen is a different story. You can see through that.

“So, if I were to ask you to pull me across the seat until I’m straddling you and then ask you to kiss me, no one will see?”

My eyes flick to the windscreen while my dick strains in my pants. “Are you asking me to do that, Cammi?”

“Vin, pull me across the car until I’m straddling you and then kiss me like it’s the first and last time you ever will,” she says.

I smile, reaching over as I pick her up and position her so her knees rest on each side of my legs. “When are you going to get it? There’s never going to be a last time, babe,” I remind her before slamming my lips down onto hers.

My tongue pushes out and slinks into her mouth. I fucking love kissing her. I’ve never been a fan of kissing. But with Cammi, I never want to stop. A knock at my window has Cammi jumping and me ready to kill whoever’s on the other side. I turn to see Dash waving, even though he can’t see me.

“I thought you said they couldn’t see inside,” Cammi says while climbing back over to the passenger seat.

“They can’t. He’s just being an ass,” I tell her. Then I consider her words. Does she not want people to see us together? I already publicly announced that she was mine. Sheismine. I don’t give a fuck who sees us together. As long as they don’t see any parts of her meant solely for my eyes, then let them watch. “Come on, let’s go.” I open my door harder than necessary, slamming it into Dash’s body before he can move out of the way.

“Ow, fuck. What was that for?” He scowls while clutching his abdomen.

“For interrupting. What the fuck do you want?” I grunt as I round the car. By the time I get to the other side, Cammi isalready out of the car. Her bag hoisted on one shoulder. “You okay?” I glance at her flushed face.

“Uh-huh, I’ll, um, see you later?” she questions.

I tilt my head to the side. Cammi takes a step closer before she stops. “Want me to walk you in?” I ask her.

She looks from me to Dash. “No, it’s okay. I have to find Elena.” She steps around me as she practically runs into school.What the fuck was that about?

“So, this is a thing now? You and Cammi?” Dash lifts a curious brow in my direction.

I glare at him. “Why are you here again?”

The fucker smiles. “One, because you love me and I know you missed me last night. And two, I have a new strand you gotta try, bro. It’ll blow your mind,” he says while waving a rolled-up joint in my face.
