And with that, he yanked open the door and stepped out of the bathroom to the howls and cheers of our friends.

It was the hottest moment of my life too, minus the cheering.

CHAPTER30

Logan

The warm body curled up beside mine smelled delicious. I smiled and tugged it closer, relishing in the heat. It took me a moment to realize something was different. My eyes snapped open, and I peeked down to see a mass of long, dark hair draped around my bare torso.

Grace.

I swallowed hard and scrubbed at my face with the hand that wasn’t wrapped tightly around her body. She mumbled something in her sleep as I blinked rapidly, trying to remember what the hell we ended up doing last night.

I’d kissed her. Touched her. I’d rubbed myself against her in the bathroom until she’d cried out from it, her small body shaking from her release.

Fuck. Camera.I needed to make sure I hadn’t dreamed the whole damn thing.

I couldn’t get to my phone. Not without waking Grace up. Blowing out a deep breath, I stared down at her in awe. Her lips were parted, and her long lashes rested on her cheeks. She looked absolutely beautiful beside me.

It took everything I had to take my eyes off her to assess the situation. We were alone in a bedroom. If I had to guess, it was a guest room. I tried to rack my brain to remember more from last night. I was incredibly grateful for my blurry bathroom memory of me and Grace. Fuzzy bits from after that floated in my mind—Noah streaking, Ryan and Lana kissing, Grace on my lap all night until I’d carried her off to bed. She’d been too tipsy to walk. She hadn’t fought me, but she was quieter than usual.

I didn’t touch her. She fell asleep and stayed that way all night.

I’d held her. I’d whispered shit to her.Shit. I told her she was beautiful and that she made me happy. I’d fucking admitted I was falling hard.

I breathed out and composed myself before stretching to reach my phone and hoping I didn’t wake her. I managed to snag it off the bedside table. As I sank back, she snuggled against me, her cheek resting on my bare chest.

I opened my gallery and saw the video from the bathroom was still saved along with other videos of us. And photos. She and I together, smiling, my arm around her as she snuggled on my lap. A photo of me kissing her cheek and her eyes squeezed closed, a lopsided smile on her face.

I grinned at it and uploaded it to my social media before setting it as my profile photo for everything. I even added it as my Snap story before I held my phone high and took a photo of her sleeping in my arms. I swallowed as I stared at the newest image, my heart doing flips in my chest. Once again, it looked like we were naked in bed together. The strap of her tank top had fallen down and the blanket was pulled up enough that she looked topless in my arms, her arm thrown across my torso. I decided that photo needed to be kept safe along with the video of us in the bathroom. Quickly, I made a folder and stashed the video and photo away in it before placing my phone beside me on the bed. I gave Grace a quick squeeze and closed my eyes.

“Shit. Shit, shit, shit,” Grace said, shoving against me.

I opened my eyes, confused, as she tried to untangle herself from me.

“What are you doing?” I mumbled, groggy as hell.

“What amIdoing? What areyoudoing?” she squeaked out.

Immediately, I tightened my hold on her to keep her from escaping.

“What’s wrong? Calm down, Gracie—"

“You’re not wearing pants,” she said, pushing against my chest.

I frowned. I had my boxers on. I couldn’t sleep in jeans. Anyone who could had to be a freak of nature.

“Relax. I’m not naked. Neither are you,” I said, drawing her squirming body against mine.

She huffed and struggled for a moment longer before giving in.

“I didn’t have sex with you. If you tell people I did, you’ll never have sex again because I will remove your di—”

“Easy, tiger,” I said, pressing my finger to her lips. “I’m not going to say anything like that to anyone.Ever. Got it? I know we didn’t do it. I’d never say shit like that about you.”

I swallowed hard at my words. They were true. Maybe in the beginning I would’ve done that sort of shady shit, but definitely not now. In fact, the entire bet had taken a backseat overnight.
