I still just didn’t understand how Brett could sht in a crowded parking lot, and no one saw hiht before and then reain while I was at the station, it happened a lotup breakfast for everyone, I went back to Kristen and Jason’s, deterood weekend I’d told her about my dad and Rachel earlier this week, and then with this, I didn’t want her focusing on all the bad shit And if I was being honest withon all the bad shit I kneith the first, their worries were now gonebut I didn’t want last night to put a strain on us I would make sure Paisley was safe, but I didn’t want her worried about Brett doing so what bad could’ve happened later on down the road if she’d chosen him

So as soon as I saw her, I dropped the breakfast on the table and pulled her into uest roo hers This ti sexual This tiure out how to for her what she did to ht on top of hers on the bed This ti the words "I love you" over and over as I trailed kisses across her neck to tease the sensitive spot behind her ear

When I finally let us leave the bed to eat breakfast, Kristen and Jason both gave us looks like they’d known exactly e’d been doingbut they had no idea

I’d wanted to show Paisley what it felt like to have different experiences sexually since she’d never been given that attention before I’d wanted to worship her body for these teeks before I had sex with her But I’d had no idea what just kissing her could do to us

The passion that had filled the tiny roohout the rest of the day Touches were softer and lingered, looks lasted longer, and her smiles all hinted at a secret between us that no one would ever figure out

And with every touch, with every look, and with every smileI fell more in love with her

Septe out Kristen and Jason this afternoon with our "love fest," enough to the point where Eli had finally taken h he hadn’t told me why he hadn’t wanted to leave, I’d known I kneas trying to keep ht Brett wouldn’t find us, and that theory was proven once we’d left After swinging by , he’d spent the day driving us up and down the beaches in Southern California, and going to all et back to his apartet back since it had been such a long day, I was noishing I was anywhere but here Well, anywhere as long as I wasn’t alone with Eli Because Eli was now hovering overkisses and bites down my throat, and I just re sexual with hiood day?" I asked breathlessly, in hopes to get us talking instead of going in the direction ere already headed

"I’d rather know if you did," he said against the spot behind my collarbone, then placed a deceptively soft kiss there

"Of course I did Thank you for everything I loved everywhere we stopped, and--"

Eli cut offand ers that had been trailing upthe swell oftheir journey to my shorts

No, no No, no, no, no, no I need to stop this Now Right now Oh led to think of sohed huskily "Maybe tomorrow"

"Why not now? Don’t you want to? Actually, I’m kind of tired," I lied, and swatted at the hand that was unzippingto undress ain lifted his head to look at me "Do you not want me to touch you?"

I would have shouted that I didn’t if he hadn’t looked absolutely terrified in that moment I didn’t have to ask what he’d meant by that question, it was all over his face and in the tone of his voice He thought seeing Brett last night--or his actions--had put a wall between us "Of course I do! Justht Or tomorrow," I added a few seconds after
