We remain like that for a while, breathing each other in while he’s inside me. Then we clean each other up with wet wipes.
It takes us more time than necessary, considering the stupidly narrow space. Cars aren’t made for sex, seriously.
The chances of convincing him of that fact are close to zero.
I tell Creighton to take me to his place. I totally look like I just got laid, and if we go back inside the club, everyone will just give us shit.
Creighton is all for that idea since he didn’t want to go out tonight anyway.
But instead of driving to the Elites’ mansion, he stops at a grocery store.
On the way inside, I ask, “Why are we here?”
“I’m running out of ropes.”
“Wow. Romantic.”
“Only for you.” He interlinks his fingers with mine.
I can’t help grinning at that, because I know he’s not the type to lie.
“I wonder what your parents would think if they knew about your tendencies,” I say.
“Dad is all for exploring who we are, so he wouldn’t mind. Mum…it’s better that she doesn’t know.”
“I gather your dad is open-minded?”
“The best. Nothing is too wrong or too taboo. He encouraged me, Eli, and Landon to pursue what we wanted.”
“He sounds badass. I wish Papa were the same. I mean, he’s awesome, just too strict, I guess. Like Jeremy. It’s why I wanted to have a fake boyfriend, you know. So my father doesn’t marry me off to the first suitor.”
“That won’t be happening. You have me now.”
My heart nearly explodes. “Does that mean you’re my boyfriend?”
“If you want to put that label on it.”
“What would you call me?”
“My girl.”
“I like that.” I beam. “You’re like my man then.”
“Your man, huh?”
“Yeah, sounds badass and suits your grumpy personality. I’ll proudly introduce you to my family one day. Papa and Jer won’t tell me what to do.”
His lashes lower as he stares at me. “How about your mother? Is she like them?”
“Nope. Mom is the sweetest and constantly acts as my armor against both Papa and Jer. They can’t defy her.” I laugh. “Women rule.”
“I like your mum. She sounds like mine.”
I grin. “Yeah?”
“Mum managed to tame the lion, aka my father, and that’s a superpower. See, Dad is the most ruthless in our family aside from Grandpa Jonathan and Grandpa Agnus, but if Mum is unwell, Dad looks like he’s ready to burn the world.”
“Why would your mom be unwell?”
