“Ugh, yes, I do. You’re my boyfriend, and I’m going to support you. Okay.”
He was smiling when I got up off the bed. “That’s not even a question, is it?”
I shook my head. “Nope. It’s a statement of fact. I am your support.” I yelped when he grabbed me and placed me on his knee.
“Thank you,” he said, pressing a kiss to my temple. “I only told Ava the other day, and it’s weird for me to tell people who aren’t my family.” He leaned back as I turned in his lap to look up at him. “You made that really easy.”
Pushing his hair off his forehead, I leaned up to kiss him softly. “And you listened to me talk about my deadbeat dad, and it was really easy to talk to you.” I smiled as I ran a finger down the side of his face. “Look at us, talking and everything.”
I screamed when he picked me up and placed me over his shoulder, his hand slapping my ass.
“Ash! What the heck?”
“Pizza,” he said simply as he took me to the kitchen. “We’re going to refuel.”
“I can order something else,” I told him as I wiggled in his hold. “Something better.”
“Nope. Pizza,” he said with determination, keeping a firm grip on me. “Then I’m going to fuck you in the shower.”
“Ash!”
He slapped my ass again, then placed me on the kitchen counter. He moved in between my legs, catching my lips with ahungry kiss. I felt him harden between my thighs as I ran my hands over his broad shoulders.
“How hungry are you?” he asked, his hand slipping under the elastic of my panties.
“Starving,” I answered, my voice husky with need.
“Fuck, me too Red, me too.”
It took a while for us to get back to the pizza.

“Why are you staring at me?” I asked Ava without looking at her. I could feel her watching me.
“I’m trying to decide if you’re glowing.”
Thatmade me look at her. “What are you talking about?”
She was trying to hide her smile, and failing. Badly. “You look freshly fucked.”
“Ava!” I looked around us quickly. “People canhearyou!”
She shrugged, not caring. “You went to the bathroom when we got here, and were gone for alongtime.” Her eyes sparkled with mischief. “And when you came back, your man was like . . . two minutes behind you.”
I couldn’t hide my blush. It was lunchtime, and I had gone to the bathroom, and on my way back to the cafeteria, my overgrown boyfriend picked me up, found an unused classroom, and had me bent over the desk before I’d had a chance to protest. Not that I would have protested, but that wasn’t the point.
I almost denied it, but instead, I felt my shoulders slump. “Ugh. Fine. Is my hair okay?”
Ava cackled with glee, dodging my slap easily.
A chair was pulled back, and Quinn dropped in beside us. “Hi, what’s got her laughing like a madwoman?”
I shot Ava a warning look, and she said nothing, but she was still looking far too smug.
“Ignore her,” I mumbled. “She’s being a child.”
Quinn grinned but let it go. “Warning you now, three Devils are coming this way.”
