We move slow, still unsure of how we fit together, but working it out quickly, the press and grind of bodies enough for now.Their hands are everywhere—on me, on each other—and it feels so good that I lay my head back on Sterling’s shoulder and close my eyes.
They don’t kiss me, not yet, teasing me instead by dragging their mouths over my neck, my shoulders, then ghosting by my ear.They’re relaxed.Whatever they needed to get out of their system is gone, the tension boiled down to something filthier.
“You look like you need to be kissed,” Sterling says, slipping his thumb under my jaw.
“I do,” I breathe.“But I can’t decide.”
Sparks follow Lucky’s fingertips as he trails them across my lips.“Then don’t.Have us both.”
Okay.
So, I do.

You made the right choice.
go on.have a little more(go to 90)
go back(go to 14)
I shake my head.“It’s fine.I can get home okay.Nothing’s going to happen to me.”
Let’s hope.This has been enough adventure for one day.
But today isn’t over yet.
Sterling helps me stand, hovering like he wants to take over or—dear God—carry me.I’d probably faint a second time if he tried, but I definitely wouldn’t stop him.
“It won’t because you’re going to get in this car and let me drive you home.”
Blood rushes to my cheeks so fast that I can’t hide it, and it doesn’t help that he’s standing so close.The deep edge of his voice stirs up a burning heat between my thighs, and I hope to hell he’s doing it on purpose because I’m about two seconds away from throwing myself at him.
Warm breath gusts over my ear.“That wasn’t a request.”
Oh fuck.
I slip into his passenger seat and let him fuss over the temperature.Let’s hope he drives fast.

“I think you should kiss and make up,” I say.
Lucky’s smile etches itself under my skin.He looks over at Sterling, whose expression I can’t see.Lucky sits beside him, not letting me step away, keeping me there.They’re touching each other but looking at me.
“How do you want me to kiss him?”
I look to Sterling for … permission?Approval?And he licks his lips.Flames lick up my spine.
Oh.
