I’m making her come again.

I’m having her just like this, on her back, her legs and arms wrapped around me, skin to skin.

Shut Up, Nelly

Reyna

I awake before Tommy, more nervous seeing him this morning than I was last night. We’re on our sides, facing each other, and there’s a heat to my cheeks, a stirring in my stomach as I watch his relaxed face in the softness of sleep, listening to his steady breathing. I smile through a contented sigh as his lips part on an exhale, drawing my stare there, and my cheeks get hotter as I remember the way he worshiped between my legs, the feel of his mouth and his body lingering.

Tommy stirs, as if summoned by my thoughts, his eyes fluttering open and connecting with mine. “Hey,” he says through a building smile, his voice low and rough with sleep.

I bite my smile and conceal my face with the covers as I shift to my back. He chuckles and pulls them away, now looking down at me while propped up on his elbow. My hand raises to his face, covering his eyes from seeing me. His smile widens as he lowers my hand to his mouth, holding my gaze as he kisses my palm. I trace my thumb along his lips before clutching the sheets and sighing up at the way his eyes move over my blushing face.

I almost give him a playful shove, but I answer another one of his questions instead. “Yes,” I say.

“Yes, what?”

“I want you to always look at me this way.”

His smile is slow as he leans down to nudge his nose against mine. “Always.” His head dips to my neck, his mouth leaving a trail of kisses there as he shifts and pulls me against him.

Before I can lose myself in the feel of his mouth and the squeeze of his hands, I laugh and push lightly against his chest.

“I have to get up.”

He groans, his mouth now trailing over my breasts. “Don’t leave me yet.”

I laugh again at his playful protest and give him another light push. “I have to pee.”

His sigh is exaggerated as he falls back against the pillow. “Okay. But hurry,” he says through a smile.

As I get out of bed and grab my dress for some cover-up, he adds, “I’ll have Sammy make you some blueberry pancakes when you’re done.”

I slip on my dress, giving Tommy a wink, then I hurry to the bathroom.

Thomas

I’m lying on my back, my hand pressed over my heart as it thumps behind my ribcage, hoping Nelly is wrong and this isn’tjust a dreamuntil the proof walks right back into the room not even a minute later, pressing her back into the now closed door.

“Your parents are here.”

I shoot up to sitting, annoyed for the interruption. “What? Why?” I fling the covers off and hop off the bed in all my naked glory. “Did they see you?” I snatch up my boxers from the floor and pull them on as Reyna does the same with her underwear.

“Yes, and they know.” Her eyes are wide on mine as I pull on and zip up my jeans. “I mean, I pranced out there with a sex glow.” She whisper-hisses that last part and I smile.Yeah, that’s my fault.“And my panties were off. Oh, that was awkward.” She cringes and I laugh now.

“Well, they don’t knowthat.”

“Well, theyknow.”

I take in her panic, feeling it in a new way now.Shut up, Nelly.“Do you not want them to?”

“Oh, of course,” she says, easing my mind right away as she closes the distance with a light laugh, her hands gliding up my still-bare chest. “Just … not likethis. And I still have to pee,” she whisper-hisses again, making me laugh as she bounces with her legs squeezed together.

“Go pee,” I say as I turn her around and give her a light shove toward the door. “It’ll be okay.”

She spins back around to pop a kiss to my chest, then leaves me with a mischievous grin that I want to kiss, too. My forehead meets the door once it’s closed and I groan, rubbing the place her lips just were, wanting Reyna to come back and for my parents to learn better timing.
