"Nate, it’s okay I’ain…" She’s talking through the door, and I can tell she’s looking at h the peephole I brace both of ainst the wood

"Just open the da inside of et back"

"Rowe, I swear to god, if you don’t open the door I’ her, and I don’t want to But I need her to act--I can’t have her hide, not now

"I ait for you," I say, and her breath catches quickly, her eyes watering almost instantly "Do you hear me?"

Everything base and male inside me wants to lock her door and strip her clothes away so I can taste and touch every inch of her body until I coselfish And she already feels selfish enough for both of us So I’ll wait, just like I said I would
