“If my ass gets in trouble for this—”
“I promise I’ll kiss it better after the spanking.”
“I was actually going to say don’t think I won’t tell them it was your idea.”
Solo scoffed as we reached the gate. “As if they’d ever believe it was yours.” Then, quick as a cat scaling a tree, he was up and over it before I could blink. Clearly he’d done this before. “Come on. It’s your turn.”
“Why do I feel like this is the beginning of some movie where the cool kid coaxes the strait-laced one into doing something he really shouldn’t…”
Solo grinned like a fiend and reached for the edge of his shirt. “I mean, if you want to miss out on getting your hands on this”—he smoothed his hand up over his rigid abdomen, and my mouth practically watered—“you can stay out there like a good little boy.”
I narrowed my eyes on his taunting ass. “Little, huh?”
“No problem with being good, though, I see?”
I reached for the bars and took a good grip before looking to the top of the fence, measuring the distance. “No problem at all,” I said, and then looked back to Solo, making sure to give him my most arrogant smile. “We both know I’m good at anything I…do.”
Solo let out a loud laugh and then turned to jog off into the dark. “Prove it!”

THE SOUND OF Panther scaling the fence had me smiling as I headed down the side of the empty house. I hadn’t been lying about the first time I’d come to visit this place, and as I crept through the shadows like a thief in the night, I felt the lingering adrenaline from the ride up here resurface.
A gentle breeze whipped up through the hills, cooling my skin on this warm summer night. As I made my way to the back of the home, the property opened up wide in front of me. There was a deck directly off the back of the house with some outdoor furniture and a hot tub nestled in the corner, and the grassy yard extended to the fence that bordered the property and protected anyone from taking a tumble off the edge.
The view from up here was un-fucking-real. I made my way across the lawn to look out at the smattering lights from the houses below and took in a deep breath.
Ahh, the salty air was something I could definitely get used to. In fact, this entire scenario was pretty damn awesome. When Panther came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist, I made sure there was a spot in my fantasy for him.
“This place is incredible.” Panther’s voice was low by my ear and sent a shiver up my spine as I moved back into him. Damn, he felt good. Rock-hard muscles from head to toe, and those strong arms holding me in place gave a sense of belonging that I’d never felt before.
“Youfeel incredible, so I guess it was meant to be.”
“Mmm, I guess so,” Panther said as he rested his chin on my shoulder. “What exactly am I looking at? Other than a spectacular view of the night sky.”
I turned my eyes upward to the stars shining above us to see he was right. Up here, the stars looked unreal. Clear, bright, and so close you felt like you could practically touch them.
“Well, down there is Huntington Beach,” I said, pointing directly in front of us. “And over there to the left of it is Black Rock Cliffs.”
A delicious growl left Panther’s lips as they moved to my temple. He kissed me there and said, “OurBlack Rock Cliffs?” I knew he was remembering that first explosive moment we’d shared down there between the jagged pillars of stone.
I reached for his hand and slowly urged it down to where my cock was making itself noticed. As he smoothed his palm over the zipper and curled his fingers into the denim, I thrust my hips forward and nodded.
“Yeah, that’s the one.” My voice sounded strained as Panther’s lips made their way up the rim of my ear and his hand began to move. “During the day you can see—Fuck.”
A low chuckle rumbled in my ear as my head fell back on Panther’s shoulder.
“If that’s what you can see down there during the day, I think someone needs to call the cops.”
I let out a low groan then turned my head to see Panther’s eyes fully dilated as they roved over my face. He was aroused, and if his expression wasn’t indication enough, the hard cock rubbing against the crease of my ass was.
As the summer breeze swirled around us, I licked my lips, and Panther’s gaze dropped to my mouth.Jesus, that look was something else. It was full of hot summer nights spent naked and tangled up with the person who made your head spin. I turned in his arms, wanting more of him than this, then reached for the button of his jeans and undid it.
“Or…we could just join them.”
Panther took a step forward and placed a hand on either side of my body, caging me in against the fence. “Right here, right now, huh?”
“Well,” I said as I slowly slid his zipper down, “we don’t have to goallthe way.”
