“I want to see what it looks like when you’re getting yourself off.”

He was smashing through so many boundaries right then. Losing his mind in a way he never let himself.

But the need pumped so hard through him he couldn’t think straight.

“Cash…” She arched her hips from the bed, like she was begging him for the one thing they had promised they wouldn’t.

“Touch yourself, Little Wallflower.”

He wanted to do it himself. Fuck, he wanted to. But he was terrified of what would happen if he did. Sure if he crossed that line and she rejected him, he would be crushed.

The owner of that broken heart.

He guessed he finally got what that meant.

“You don’t ever have to be self-conscious when it comes to me. You need it, you take it.”

He was hoping to fuck that she would say the same thing in return.

Give him the go to dive in and taste that sweet mouth.

Only she hesitated, wavering in the energy that lashed between them.

Her body alive and thrumming with need.

She swept her tongue across her plump bottom lip, then she slipped her hand into her sweats. A soft sound escaped her as she parted her knees and began to rub her fingers over herself.

He wanted to drag the material down so he could fully watch, but he was already asking too much. Pushing her to a place he hoped she wanted to go.

But he thought he knew her well enough to know she would stop him if she wasn’t into it.

Was she into it?

Was she into him this way?

Friends.

Friends. Friends. Friends.

That was what they were supposed to be, but he knew, without a doubt, they were supposed to be more.

Forever, maybe.

Was that fucked up to think when he was seventeen?

“Cash…I…” She whimpered his name, and he knew.

He inhaled a staggered breath and moved to hover over her, his hands pressed to the mattress on either side of her head. Hisentire body strained to get lost in her. Not in the way he had with Brandy or those other girls.

This felt intrinsic. Like he was rushing up to meet with another piece of himself.

He started to reach for her face so he could pull her mouth up to his when the door clattered open behind them.

Matthew stumbled in, drunk as fuck. He immediately fell into a shock of raucous laughter. “Holy fuck, bro. I knew it. I knew it.”

Cash whirled around, staging his body in front of Daisy so Matthew couldn’t see her.

His dick so fucking hard and his heart nearly beating out of his chest.
