“Maybe? I was kind of a quiet kid. Couldn’t talk to a girl to save a life.”
Eden laughs, snuggling in closer. “I think we would have been friends. The kind with secret handshakes and friendship bracelets.”
Shang hums. “That sounds nice.”
She sits up and smiles. “I actually have something for you.”
He props himself up on an elbow. “Oh?”
“Yeah, hold on.” Eden climbs over him like a damn tree, fishing through her pockets. “Will you close your eyes? And hold your hand out.”
“Why?”
“Because it’s a surprise.”
Shang smirks, doing exactly as instructed. “Why are you so adorable?”
“Genetics,” she offers up as a reply.
“Can I open them yet?”
“No.”
“Now?”
“You’re impossible. Yes, now.”
He does, eyes immediately falling to the silver twist of metal now on his left wrist. Eden holds up her own to show off the other half, a bashful smile on her lips. She thinks it suits him. Silver is cool and hard and poised like he is, like the reflection of a full moon glowing off the surface of a lake. Gold is warm and bright and soft like she is, like the sun shining over endless fields with the promise of summer.
“Do you like it?” she asks softly.
“Was this what you were doing at the farmer’s market?”
Eden nods. “I saw it and... I don’t know.”
Shang takes her hand and pulls her onto his lap, kissing her cheeks, the corners of her lips, a line down her jaw. “I love it, Eden. Thank you.”
He wraps her up in a tight hug. Eden circles his neck with her arms and squeezes him back, kissing the crook of his neck.
She can’t even begin to describe how happy she is.
When Shang wakes up the next morning, he discovers that he hasn’t hogged the blankets. He’s hoggedher. He’s got his arms slung around Eden’s torso, his long legs tangled in her slender ones. She fits up against him like a dream, her ass tucked perfectly up against his front. He’s so unbelievably comfortable, he’d personally prefer to close his eyes and drift off for a few more minutes, happily drowning in the scent of Eden’s hair.
Unfortunately, his dick doesn’t get the memo.
Shang thinks he can will it away, but then Eden shifts her position slightly, grinding up against his throbbing length. Eden stirs, humming a sigh.
“Good morning to you, too,” she says, teasing.
He kisses the back of her head. “Go back to sleep.”
She doesn’t, though. Instead, she deliberately backs her ass into him and moans, snaking a hand back to caress his cheek. “Come on, honey. Let me help you.”
Within an instant, Shang’s senses are on high alert. Little sirens inside his head go off. He can’t deny his aching cock any longer, but knows that they’re in a less than ideal location. He knows just how loud Eden can get. He actually prefers it. But with his parents’ home, Shang can’t pull out his usual stops to make Eden scream his name.
“We’re going to have to be quiet,” he whispers, reaching around to slide a hand down the front of Eden’s cotton panties. Eden muffles a groan as Shang parts her folds with his fingers. “Fuck, you’re already so wet for me.”
“Shang—”
