He brushes my hair out of my face and whispers, “I love you.”
I Camdenk into a smile. So, that’s what this is. The feeling in my chest. The wanting to be with him every second of every minute. The not being able to get enough. I reach for his cheek without the bruise and say it back. “I love you, Benson Reeve.”
His smile is wide and bright. “Yeah?”
I nod. “Yeah.”
He kisses me again. I pull back this time.
“Baby?” I whisper, terrified of how ridiculous I sound.
His smile widens again. “Yeah?”
I kiss him and whisper, “Take me home.”
He grabs my hand.
We walk back to Hawthorne.
The End.

Hislipsarestillon mine when he pushes his bedroom door open and pulls me inside. He closes the door behind us with his foot. He’s on me before the door has clicked shut.
The kiss is hot. His hand is in my hair. His other hand is at my waist over my coat. His mouth is on my neck within ten seconds, and his thumb is on the spot on my ribs where my tank tops has ridden up, and I am kissing him back with everything I have.
He walks me backward to the bed. The backs of my knees hit the mattress, and he settles his large body between my thighs.
His hands cup my jaw, and he kisses me with his weight half over me. I let my hands go up the front of his button-down because I have wanted to take this button-down off him since the corner of Main and Hawthorne.
I pull back and put my hands flat against his chest.
He stops. “Baby,” he says, Camdenthless. “You okay?”
“Bens, everyone’s downstairs.”
He looks over his shoulder. “I’ll put on music.” He walks over to the door and locks it. Then he opens his laptop and starts playing a playlist on YouTube. “Is that better?”
I crawl higher on the bed until I’m at the headboard.
When he walks over, he pulls his shirt off in one swift move. He lets it fall to the ground while I take in his body. He leans over and kisses me, taking off my coat. Then his fingers are aching to touch my skin, so he lifts my top shirt, and then his hand is sandwiched between my two tank tops. He glances down, and I laugh.
“What’s going on here?”
“It’s two shirts,” I chuckle.
He pulls one over my head and then looks at the other one, shaking his head. He reaches for the next one and pulls it off. “There,” he says, looking at my bra.
He kisses my mouth again. He reaches behind me and unhooks my bra with one hand, and the bra comes off between us. He drops it on the rug. He kisses my left Camdenst with his tongue, and I arch into him. He takes his sweet time on my other one. I Camdenthe rapidly when his hand rubs me over my jeans. He kisses my stomach now, looking up at me. His face lands between my legs, kissing my jeans right at my pussy.
“Oh my god,” I Camdenthe.
He hooks his thumbs into the waistband of the jeans and looks up at me. He unbuttons my jeans and unzips it slowly. “Take these off,” he commands.
