The moment his orgasm subsides he doesn't give me much time to think, with one hand he grabs my waist and with the other, he slides the seat adjustment until it goes down completely, he slides my panties to the side, and runs his warm tongue into my pussy, making me cum pathetically quickly.

He continues to pleasure me until another orgasm ripples through me, and when we're both sated, I collapse next to the seat.

"Fuck, Mia, where did you learn to do that"

"Do you really want to know?" I ask with a raised eyebrow, and he quickly looks away, blushing.

"I'm so full. I think corndogs are definitely my second favorite food."

"Tired?" he asks with a smile, starting the car and turning away from Nico’s direction.

"A little. Did you have something else in mind?"

He smiles but doesn't respond. I lean back in the seat and let him take me wherever he wants. The trust I have in Zane is unreal—he could break me completely... and he could put me back together.

"Now, I'll show you the last surprise of the night," Zane says, parking outside my sister’s house. After a quiet walk, I ask,

"Why are we at Laura’s house?"

“She wanted to give you a hug. A birthday thing. It’s your choice, Mia. Do you want to celebrate with your family, or do you want to turn around?"

My chest fills with unexpected happiness, and without another thought, I jump out of the car and head toward the door.

My smile widens even more when I see the other birthday boy.

I knew she had something planned, but seeing Seth here? That completely takes me by surprise. I didn’t think he’d come. I didn’t know how much I wanted this until now.

I open the door without knocking, eager to enter, but I’m immediately stopped by a scream.

"Surprise!"

Before I can react, Seth appears like an uncontrolled missile, running toward me. For a moment, I’m confused, my instinct screaming to run away, but my legs don’t react in time.

"No, no, no!"

I spin on my heel, trying to escape, but it’s too late. Seth grabs me, lifting me off the ground as if I weigh nothing, spinning me around in his arms while he laughs like a madman.

"One! Let me down!" I laugh, but he holds me tighter.

"No, I’ll let you suffer up there for a while. One second for each year of your birthday."

"Ogre!"

He spins me around one more time before finally setting me back down.

When I open my eyes again, everything’s a little dizzy, but I can still see Laura sitting on the couch, a book on her lap, watching us with her usual neutral expression.

“Happy birthday, Mia,” she says, looking up from her book to give me a gentle smile.

"I didn't get a happy birthday."

"You would’ve gotten one if you hadn’t pissed off Pietro the moment you arrived and made me distract you two from trying to kill each other."

“Stop being a pain in the ass with Pietro. He’s cool,” I say, hitting Seth in the chest. He has the audacity to stick his tongue out at me like a child.

“Crybaby,” I snap.

“You’re my crybaby now, sis,” he retorts, ruffling my hair. “Even Laura’s more composed than you.”
