He rubs his thumb on my cheek, pressing his mouth to mine. When his tongue teases my bottom lip, I open for him. I feel tingles all over my body as he kisses me like his life depends on it. I’m not completely sure I wouldn’t float away if he weren’t pinning me to the mattress.

I’m brought back to the moment when he lines the head of his cock at my entrance and slowly begins to thrust forward, meeting resistance before he can even get inside. And just as he starts pushing harder, I hear it.

“Gracie!” a voice sings from the hallway, making us bothgo completely stiff. My eyes go wide, pushing Tanner off of me with the strength of a goddamn gorilla on Red Bull, sending him over the edge and onto the floor between the bed and wall. He lands with a loudthud, groaning in pain.

“Shhhh!” I say, pulling the covers up over my body just in time for my mom to open the door and peek in.

“Hey, sweetie,” she says cheerfully. “Just wanted to let you know that your dad had a work emergency, so we had to come home a few days early.”

I do my best to look like I didn’t just have an actual dick being pushed into me, and that the owner of said dick isn’t butt-ass naked on the floor beside me. “Oh, man,” I squeak, clearing my throat.Fucking smooth, Grace.“That sucks.”

“Well, you know what they say,” she says with a sigh. “If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. And Bobby Archer doesn’t know his ass from a hole in the ground. I told your father to just let the old coot retire early.”

Great. Cool. Awesome.

Can we wrap this up so I can sneak our neighbor out of here before you find out he was just about to deflower your precious baby girl under your roof without protection? K, thanks.

“Are you okay?” she asks. “You look flushed. You don’t have a fever, do you?” She opens the door fully and my eyes go wide with panic as she walks toward the bed.

“Mom, I’m fine,” I rush out as she lays the back of her hand on my cheek, then my forehead. “I was just about to get up and take a shower.”

She raises a suspicious brow, doing a scan of the room from where she stands. My heart is pounding so hard and fast, I feel like it might vibrate me right onto the floor with Tanner. I stare like a deer in headlights until she finally speaks.

“Okay. Pick all these clothes up off the floor. Just because you’re eighteen doesn’t mean house rules don’t apply. I still have the authority to ground you,” she teases, making merelax just slightly, until I realize the clothes she’s talking about don’t belong to me. I stiffen again, but thankfully, she’s already walking out the door, closing it behind her with a quietsnick.

I huff a relieved breath, sinking into the pillow. I try to regulate my heart rate, completely forgetting about Tanner until he peeks up over the mattress. “Lock the door, Bunny!” he whisper-shouts. “My fucking cock is out!”

“Oh my God!” I say, scrambling out of bed and locking the door. I turn, leaning my back to it, watching as he stands and walks toward his boxer briefs that are bunched up at the foot of the bed. It’s a fucking miracle my mom didn’t notice them, but I guess they could’ve been mistaken for a tank top or something.

He quickly steps into them, pulling them up his muscled thighs, and I can’t lie, I die a little inside. We wereso close. He must see the despair in my expression because he laughs quietly as he walks over, dropping a quick kiss to my lips before moving to my ear.

“I wasn’t even inside you and I can already tell I’m going to be obsessed with your cunt, baby,” he rasps.

I whimper quietly as he pulls my lobe into his mouth, giving it a gentle suck. I’m all the way turned on again and there’s nothing we can do about it.

“Tonight, you’re mine,” he whispers. “I’ll figure it out and text you, okay?”

All I can do is nod as he throws on the rest of his clothes and turns away, opening the window and disappearing. There’s a trellis right outside my room that he used to climb when Riggs still lived here, and thankfully he’ll be able to sneak out unseen between our houses.

I walk over, closing the window and grabbing my clothes to shower. Now that I know we’re in the clear, I have a little extra pep in my step as I think about what’s going to happen tonight…and who it’s going to happen with.

TANNER

Never in mylife have my balls actually shriveled up and retreatedintomy body, but when Libby’s voice echoed outside Grace’s room just as I was about to thrust into her for the first time, that’s exactly what happened. I’ve never been so scared in my entire twenty-one years, and that’s saying a lot, since Riggs and I were chased by a mama bear while we were camping one time. Thankfully, we made it to the car before she reached us, peeling out of the site as fast as we could and never returning for our tent. But even that wasn’t as terrifying as almost getting caught naked and on top of Grace.

But do I still want to finish what we started?

Fuck. Yes.

Which is exactly why I’ve spent the entire day planning the perfect little hideaway for us. I was initially thinking we’d just go to my house since it’s still empty, but then I started to worry that maybe my parents would cut their trip short since the Valentines weren’t there anymore. There’s no way I’ll be able to focus on giving Grace the first-time experience she deserves if I’m worried about being caught the whole time. Plus, even if my parents don’t come home,knowing hers are fifty yards away is kind of a boner killer in and of itself.

After considering our limited options, I came up with a plan that will hopefully make tonight one that she’ll never forget. A night that, when the next guy comes along, she’ll compare to before she decides to give herself to him.

Why does that thought piss me the fuck off?
