My self-control is slipping, but I hold on as tightly as I can. “I’m going to have to punish that smart mouth of yours.”

Penny stills. She lowers her pointed chin, her teeth tugging at her lower lip as she tries to hide her smile.

Then, she strains against my hold on her wrists, arching her back so her breasts are in my face.

But all I can think about is her lips as they whisper, “Fuck. Me. Now.”

That alone is enough to make me want to spill all over her chest right now.

But no. I can’t.

Not when I’ve waited so long for this.

I run my thumb over her lips, trying to savor the moment. She slides her hands around my thighs and squeezes, trying to pull me closer.

She eyes my length and licks her lips, and I moan.

Then, she grabs me with her soft, warm hand, and opens her mouth…

My phone rings, waking me up from that fucked-up dream of Penny. It’s loud as fuck and even more annoying than usual. It takes a second to realize that it’s because my ringtone is different.

I grab my phone and swipe up, knowing who it is without even looking at the screen. “Stop changing my ringtone, J.C.”

“You do something to me that I can’t explain,”he croons into the phone, continuing the song he set as my ringtone. “Hold me closer and I feel no paaain.”

“If you sing another line, I’m hanging up and deleting you from my contacts.”

J.C. laughs, clearly pleased with himself. “You’re no fun. Everyone loves Dolly Parton.”

“Not first thing in the morning.”

And not when I was seconds away from getting to the good part of the hottest dream I can remember having.

“Anyways, what do you want?”

“It’s a funny story,” he assures me. “You’ll laugh.”

As it turns out, it isn’t a very funny story. J.C. got drunk, hooked up with a girl in the woods, and then fell asleep. He woke up on the ground and can’t find his keys to unlock his car and get home.

Point is, he needs a ride.

“I’ll be there in twenty,” I grumble, throwing back the blankets and sliding my feet to the floor.

“But you only live ten minutes away!”

“Feel free to call Caleb if you’re impatient.”

He sighs. We both know Caleb is impossible to wake, especially after a night with Haley.

She is the first girl he doesn’t kiss and tell with, but we’ve all noticed a pattern of excessive tiredness after they spend the night together.

I’m guessing they aren’t sitting up all night telling each other ghost stories.

I consider jumping in the shower real quick—once I’m out of bed, it’s impossible for me to fall back asleep—but I decide to make better use of my time.

My balls are still bursting. I have to get some relief.

I grab the lotion from my bedside table and pump into my hand.
