Page 31 of Rules Of Our Own

I eat my food with one hand, never letting go of her thigh. My fingers have shifted up a few inches, and she squirms when I tighten them.

Piper gets up with an easy smile and gives Mia a cheeky wink before walking to the area that’s cleared off for a dance floor. We watch as the newlyweds twirl around for their first dance, the lights dimming low. After a few minutes, the parents join, followed by Sidney and Jax.

I lower my mouth to just above her ear. “May I please have this dance?”

Her gaze darts to me, then River. He nods and removes his hand from her. A flash of excitement takes over Mia’s face, and she smiles. I lead her onto the dance floor and pull her into my chest. Her eyes widen on mine when I grip her hip, spreading my fingers to coast over the top of her ass and tug her closer.

“What are you doing?” she breathes.

“Helping you decide. I want you tonight. I want every second with you until you get on that plane.”

She runs her tongue over her red lips, and I can feel her heart pounding. She wants this as badly as I do. I close the distance between us and run my nose along the curve of her neck, breathing in her sweet scent and marveling at the goose bumps that follow my path. I nip her ear, and she shivers. “Stop thinking. Just let go.”

She turns her head, mouth grazing mine, and I can feel her breath on my lips when she says, “Okay.”

Fuck. I’m about to close the distance between us when rough fingers graze mine over Mia’s hip.

River’s gaze is pitch-black when it meets mine, and a muscle ticks in his jaw. “Sorry to interrupt. You look so good I couldn’t resist.”

This is the second time in our friendship he’s interrupted me kissing Mia, but unlike last time, I don’t mind. We have bigger plans for tonight. It’s just up to Mia to decide.

I lay it all out for her again, keeping my voice low so only the two of them can hear me. “Did you think about what we asked you yesterday?” Her eyes meet mine, and she bites her lip, nodding. I smile internally. River will break her out of her shyness soon enough. “Let me be crystal clear. For the rest of this trip, River and I will do unbelievably indecent things to you. We want you ready and willing, screaming our names as we each take turns fucking your sweet little pussy.”

She sucks in a sharp inhale and looks around, making sure no one heard. Her green eyes are nearly black with wide pupils, and her chest rises and falls with her rapid breaths as my words sink in.

“Do you want that?” River asks, voice rough.

I wait for her response. If she says she doesn’t want this, I’ll let her go no matter how badly I want her.

“I want to be yours for the rest of the trip.”

“Good fucking girl,” River growls.

“Let’s go back to the room.” My voice is raw and low, but she hears me over the music.

Mia slowly opens her eyes. “Please.”

Such a simple word has me nearly coming in my pants.

CHAPTER15

MIA

Before we leave,I wrap Piper in a fierce hug. “Congratulations, girl. I’m so happy for you.”

She squeezes me back just as hard. “Calling it a night?”

“Is that okay?” I ask, not wanting to insult her by heading out too early.

Piper scans my face, no doubt still flushed, before checking out the guys, and a slow smile curves her lips. “I fully support this. You know that, right?”

I roll my lips between my teeth and fight against the cheesy grin that threatens to escape. Piper’s been close friends with River and Alex since she lived with them her freshman year. Which just makes her easy acceptance that much more calming.

“You don’t think it’s crazy?”

“Honestly?” She raises a brow. “I think you deserve a wild weekend. Let someone take care of you for a bit.”

I channel the girl I was back in school. At some point, during my relationship with Jason, I’d let her go and let him mess with my head. “I want this.”
