“Dick head!” Grayson calls out. “Bye, Pretty Girl!”

“You really didn’t need to do that,” I tell Collin, and as I bounce, every step he takes has my face almost colliding with his ass.

“I did. Because if I had to watch you two giving each other fuck me eyes any longer, I was going to snap.”

“You're crazy.”

His hand comes down hard on my ass, making me yelp. “When will you get it, Lollipop? Only for you.”

COLLIN DROPPED ME OFFoutside my house. At least, that was the plan before he followed me inside and insisted on hanging out with me until my supper tonight.

Oddly, my mom doesn’t give Collin a second glance when she finds him here, sitting on our couch like this is his home.

Not going to lie, I like being around Collin. His jealousy can kinda be a turn on, sometimes. Other times, it’s annoying.

But being with him is fun and easy. When we’re with each other, just the two of us, I quickly find myself slipping into a familiar friendship. I laugh, smile, and just feel good.

“You sure you can’t just stay home with me and hang out?” Collin asks as he follows me around the house like a damn lost puppy while I get ready.

“No. And for the last time, sit down,” I growl, swinging an annoyed look his way.

“Nah.” He smirks, and... ugh, I just want to slap him in his handsome face. He pulls me into his arms, and I blink up at him as he stares down at me. “I like being close to you.”

My heart starts to race as he holds me close. He smells good, like a spicy cologne. “Collin.” I try to make my his name come out as a warning, but fail and it comes out as a breathy sigh.

“Sadie,” he murmurs, his eyes growing lidded, locked on my lips. They flash with heat as I slowly run my tongue between them.

He’s going to kiss me, isn’t he?And I’m going to let him.

“Sadie!” my mom calls out from her room. “Are you ready?”

She breaks the spell and Collin does not look happy about it. “Yes!” I call back, the moment ruined by my mom. “You need to go.”

“Next time, Lollipop. I will taste your sweet lips,” he promises, leaning down to kiss my forehead and turning around to head out.

What am I doing?I’m sleeping with three guys, whom I have very complicated relationships with, and my teacher is seconds away from branding his name on me as a mark of possession.

I’m dressed in a pair of black leggings and a sandy colored cashmere sweater, paired with a brown pair of boots. I curled my hair and put it up in a ponytail, leaving the bangs down.

I feel like it’s formal enough but also something I can still be comfortable in.

“I hope you and Mark’s son get along,” my mom says, stopping the car when we pull up to this massive mansion.

It is something I’m used to. All my friends live in mansions, and I’ve hung out at Carol’s place a lot, but this one? Holy shit.

It’s not as big as Carol’s, but it’s a lot more modern.

“As long as he’s not rude or mean to me, I’m sure we will be fine. I’ll do my best to give him a chance.”

“Sonny is so sweet and kind, very funny too,” Mom adds. “As a respectable young man should be. He’s been nothing but kind to me. I don’t think you two will have a problem getting along.”

“You won’t have any issues on my part,” I promise her.

“Thank you.” Tears fill her eyes as she takes my hand, giving it a squeeze. “Mark means so much to me. I love him, Sadie. I never thought I’d find love again. And he will never be able to replace your father, but he makes me feel a lot of the same things your dad did.”

“I’m happy for you, Mom.” I give her a genuine smile. “I really am. I’m glad you were lucky enough to find two loves of your life.”

We head to the front door and knock, waiting for someone to answer. “Soooo, you don’t just like walk in?” I ask her.
