He stands up from the couch and makes his way over to me. He wraps his arm around my waist and leans down to whisper in my ear, "You look beautiful."

I shiver from the warm breath trailing down my spine and unconsciously lean my head to rest against his. He pulls back slightly to place a gentle kiss on my cheek before pulling away entirely and grabbing my hand, lacing our fingers together.

You would think I would be used to the shocks I feel every time we touch by now, but I'm so not.

"You kids have fun, but not too much. Don't do anything that I wouldn't do, Ava," Morgan says firmly.

Matt chuckles. "So nothing?"

"Yeah yeah, see you later, Mom!" I shout and hurry out the door.

"What's the rush, speedy? Can't wait to get me alone?" Oakley wiggles his eyebrows.

"In your dreams, hotshot." I keep my head down as I answer in hopes that he won't see my red cheeks.

"You're right. We are alone in my dreams."

Surprised, I snap my head up to look at him only to get a simple wink and his cocky smirk just as we reach his truck.
