“Um…. I’m getting ready for school. What else would I be doing?”

“We’re not going to school,” he says.

“Huh?” I grunt. “Did I miss something?”

Jesse walks over with a grin. “Yep,” he announces. “Call your friends. We’re spending the day partying at Broken Hill Lake with the jet skis.”

My eyes widen in excitement. “Seriously?”

“Hell yeah,” he says. “There’s no way in hell I’m spending my birthday stuck in classrooms.”

Fuck yeah. Today is going to be awesome. I pull my phone out of my pocket and open the group message between the four of us girls and send off a text.

Tora – NO SCHOOL TODAY!!!!!! Meet me at Nate’s place for Jesse’s birthday. We’re spending the day at the lake!!! Can one of you pick up Brooke on the way?

Brooke – HELL YEAH!

Brylee – Can’t wait. I’ll get Brooke.

Courtney – Shit. Puck’s going to be there, isn’t he?

Tora – Probably!!

Brylee – Chicken shit! Wear your black string bikini and you won’t even have to talk about it.

Courtney – Shut up! I’ll be there in twenty.

With that, I throw my phone down and race up the stairs before hurrying through a quick shower. As I walk out of the bathroom, I find Nate in my bedroom rifling through my clothes. He pulls out a white bikini and holds it up with a grin. “I think you should wear this one,” he tells me.

“Oh yeah?” I question as I walk forward with a grin of my own. “And why’s that?”

“You know why,” he says with that familiar sparkle in his eyes.

I drop my towel and take the bikini top from him before throwing it over my shoulder and stepping up into him. I reach for his shirt and pull it up over his head and look down at his sculptured body. He runs his hand down the side of my body with flaming eyes and I suck in a breath at his touch. It’ll never get old.

Nate’s lips come down on mine and I melt into him as I reach for his pants. I undo them and free him from inside before wrapping my fingers around him and pumping up and down.

He reaches down around me and grabs the back of my thighs before lifting me into his arms. He goes to walk us over to my bed before Jesse calling out from downstairs rings out loudly through the house. “Yo, Nate?” he yells.

Nate turns around and silently steps into my closet before closing the door behind us. He presses me up against the door and a moment later, he pushes into me.

I moan out and Nate swallows the sound with another kiss.

“Nate?” Jesse calls from the hallway.

Nate pulls out and slams back into me as my nails dig into his back. He picks up the pace and we hear the sound of his bedroom door opening before Jesse calls out for him again. Next up, the sound of my bedroom door opening. “Nate?” Jesse says. “Tora, you in here?”

Jesse groans and pulls the door closed as Nate smiles against my lips. We hear Jesse racing back down the stairs which is when this quiet bullshit comes to an end and Nate gives me what I need.

We emerge out of my room twenty minutes later, finally dressed and ready for the day. We find Jesse down in the garage with the doors wide open and all the boys standing around, hooking up the jet ski trailers to the back of their cars.

Nate jumps in to help while I find Brylee and Brooke in the kitchen, throwing a whole lot of food and drinks into bags to take with us.

I find a cooler and haul a case of beer into it, knowing the guys are probably going to want a drink by the time lunch comes around. We take it all outside and throw it into the back of Jesse’s Range Rover when we see Courtney coming down the driveway.

With everyone here, we haul ass to the lake. Though, I have a feeling word of our little lake party is going to get out and it’ll quickly turn from a little party to a big one.

An hour later, I sit on a jet ski with Nate behind me, teaching me how to drive the stupid thing while nearly the whole senior and junior classes party by the lake.

I look back at the people and see Jesse laughing and having a great time. I can’t help but smile at the view. I’ve never been so happy. My heart is so full at the moment and while things with my Nanna aren’t great and I’m missing my parents. I can’t help but be extremely happy. I turn around to Nate with a smile and he gives me one straight back. “I know,” he murmurs, knowing me better than I know myself. “Be ready. Today has only just begun. It’s going to be a long night.”
