“I can promise I’m going to be your boy toy as long as you need. But you don’t date, kiss, or fuck anyone else. You trust me completely. When you miss Collin, you tell me. When you doubt us, you let me tell you why you’re wrong, and you do your best to believe me. When you need me, I will do my best to be there, and I want the same from you.”
“Is that it?” She tries to act annoyed, and I laugh.
“One more thing. I know you can’t say it yet, but I can’t stop telling you I love you. Let me have that, please.”
“Can you try not to say it so much? I know you do—you don’t need to say it so often.”
“Now you want me to say okay and I won’t?”
“You really are a pain in the ass.”
“And you love it.”
She smiles. “You’re pushing.”
“I wanna push.” I thrust my hips up at her, and she smirks.
“I have to get going.”
“Are you serious right now?”
“We leave in a few hours. Two more concerts …”
“Will he be there?”
“Zach?”
“Yes, Zach,” I snarl.
“I don’t know. Maybe. Look, I’m the one with trust issues, remember?”
I just look up at her.
“Lucas, I. Like. You. A. Lot. No need to mistrust me.”
“Fine. Then let’s get you back to your vehicle so I can come home and jerk off.”
I stand up with her in my arms, and she holds my shoulders.
“See? We’re this close. It won’t take that long, baby.”
“Nope.” She slides down me and stands on the floor. “I’ll be back soon.”
“And I’ll be blue,” I grumble and give her my best pouty face that she used to fall for.
She kisses me, and it feels like our first kiss. One of promise.
I know damn well I’m not going to fuck it up this time. I just hope she doesn’t.
I hold her hand as we walk across the lawn to her vehicle at Jade and Ryan’s. She’s all smiling and beautiful.
We get to her SUV, and I kiss her much differently than the one we just shared. I pull her lip with my teeth, demanding access, and she gives it to me. Our tongues meet, and she moans when I lick hers up and down slowly.
I hear clapping, and Tessa laughs, pulling back slowly. I look over and see Phoebe and Jade. Then I look back at Tessa, and she grabs my face and kisses me. Then I open her door, wave to her friends, and pull her seat belt on as I shut the door.
“LYA, baby.”
She smiles and backs out.
