I sighed. “Yes.”

“I can’t lie. I’ll always want you to be mine again, but I’m also logical. I know where you are in your mind and heart after all that’s happened in the past seven days. You’re not ready for anything serious with me and may never be. I’m okay with that, too. I’d rather have you as a friend than not have you at all.”

I outlined his lips with my fingertip and then traced his rugged jawline. “I’ll always be yours to a big degree because of our pasts and also because our hearts are so intertwined.”

Rhys nodded and kept gazing into my eyes. I felt such a sense of peace and security lying here with him like this and talking openly. He’d always been the calm to all of my storms.

“I have a question,” I finally said. “Are we going to keep…you know?”

“Having sex?”

“Yes.”

The corners of Rhys’s mouth curled up. “I wouldn’t object.”

I tried to stifle my laugh, but it was pointless. It came rolling out, and so did Rhys’s.

“I take your question as your desire to keep getting it on with me,” he continued.

“You know I want to.”

“Then tell me.”

“I want to keep getting it on with you.”

“Now tell me why.”

“Because being with you heals me. Because being with you makes me feel alive. Because being with you makes me feel free. Because being with you feels like heaven.”

“You make me feel the same way, whether or not I have sex with you.”

I kissed my fingers and pressed them against Rhys’s lips. He kissed them in return, and then I touched my lips.

“This may be more than you want to know, but Chad never came close to being the kind of lover you’ve always been,” I said, hoping I hadn’t revealed too much.

“I like knowing that. I also like hearing you refer to me as a lover. You’ve never called me that before.”

“Well, you are my lover.”

Rhys’s eyes danced across my face. “You’re mine too.”

“Can I tell you something else about Chad?”

“Tell me anything you want.”

“He was mostly about his sexual gratification and getting it as quickly as possible. Usually in under two minutes.”

Rhys’s eyebrows shot up. “That had to be frustrating for you as a woman.”

“It was. To lessen my frustration, more times than not, I imagined you fucking me instead of Chad. When he was done, I’d go into the bathroom and finish myself off while imagining you again.”

Rhys stared at me for a long moment. “The next time I get you alone, this is what’s going to happen, Riley. I’m going to fuck you like Chad is watching us. I’m going to make you cum repeatedly until you scream for me to stop. Then, I’ll cum.”

When I heard Rhys’s plan, my body flushed with heat, making me tingle from head to toe. I could easily imagine him doing to me exactly as he’d said. It was also easy for me to imagine another thing: Chad watching Rhys fuck me and losing his shit. This was going to be revenge sex at its finest.

Rhys and I woke up in a panic because my parents were due home from their school district jobs at any minute.

“Shit, shit, shit!” I said as we hurried up off my bed.
