With a smirk, I try to decide the best possible way to cli her My knee hits thefuton I hate futons There’s always a metal bar in your back that you can’t escape When the daht of my body, I wonder if it’ll be able to hold both of us Fuck it If I break this thing, at least I can buy her a real bed

I crawl up behind her and slip under the covers I stifle a chuckle because unbelievably, she doesn’tcreaks and cracks noisily in the quiet roo to be fantastic; her reaction alone will be priceless

I lie down beside her and shift to my side so we can both fit comfortably She mumbles under her breath, and I freeze as she scoots her body closer into mine Her hair is thrown upto pull it all down God, she sers, and I’m instantly thrown back to our first and only ti continues and then sheabout ain I’ll be able to hear every word that comes out of that pretty mouth of hers My hand slides over a bare hip and I freeze Slowly, I slideIf I could s her up, I would She has a fking thong on and if my instincts are correct, that’s all she has on

My hand splays out across her soft sto ht, even though it wasn’t near enough, I just need to hold her tight I can fight those demons for her, and I need to make sure they never return

The soft in-and-out of her breathing begins to lullto want to sleep anywhere else again Futon be daain I’m instantly hard and that fucker has no plans to surrender anytime soon There’s no doubt in … about ht ofher around and waking her up, but she shifts onto her back and lets out a contented sigh Well, at least it looks like Dreah-five,the air conditioner off last night during this September heat as not the best idea But if Lane isn’t here, I always turn it off I’d rather deal with being uncomfortable than spend unnecessary money on utility bills Whenever I fall asleep, , so I typically sleep in as little clothes as possible It doesn’t seeh because my skin feels like it’s on fire

Slowly, I stretch out s and roll my ankles until they pop a few tiood to stop My hands extend out and touch skin Not my skin And Chuck sure as hell doesn’t feel like this either Panic et myself out of the bed In terror, I launch myself off whoever is inthe sheet with runt comes from the bed I pull the sheet up over ht intruder The muscles in his areous chest is one that I aasp loudly

"Ahhhh… Fuuuck I think I’onna hurl!" His hands cover his crotch and his eyes are squeezed shut in pain

"What the hell, Jace? How did you get in here? And why?" I screech, while trying to keepin agony My door instantly sla in the doorway He still has that sleepy look, but his fists are clenched tightly and I can tell he’s ready for battle

"Audrey?" he huffs out, which further signifies his panic because he rarely calls me by my real name He scans the scene before hiaround on my bed in pain for whatever reason The calm washes back over his face as he realizes there isn’t a threat, although I’m still not convinced about that Jace snuck into ht and I want to knohy

"Damn, dude That does not look like fun," Lane says to Jace

"Fuck man, she just used her whole body to launch off her-pitched voice

Lane sucks in a quick rush of air between his teeth, sy with hiestures toward Jace on the bed and leaves the room

I kicked him… down there? Whoops Jace still has his eyes closed as I cautiously approach hiht what to do when approaching a wounded animal I slowly sit on my knees beside hieous body If only I would have known it was hione so much better

"You scared me," I whisper

"Don’t worry, I sure as hell learned ifted with theblue eyes I’ve ever seen

I had never seen the ocean until Ime the second I stepped out of the car, and it was unlike anything I had felt before While walking through the parking lot, I was anxious to see as causing those a sounds The second I stepped over the first ht The gorgeous, blue ocean i eyes He carries a vast aence behind those baby blues, and just like the ocean, they appear never-ending I wish I could stare into them for hours

The rasp of his voice pullsat eous," I reply truthfully Damn, my stupid mouth! I feel my face fla at hiins to pull up at the corner of his mouth, and I try to stop him before he can delve further into that admission "Why are you here?" I demand
