“I’m sure you can pretend for a weekend, can’t you?” I asked, pulling Dakota to my side.He was only pissed because he’d have to keep his hands off of her all weekend.

“Just do it for Susanna,” Chase said to Kaden, patting his shoulder. “After this weekend, we’ll all go back to normal.”

I gave him a single nod of confirmation before swinging my arm over Dakota’s shoulder. I led her toward the house, and she nervously looked up at me.

“I’m in so much trouble when we get home,” she whispered, and I couldn’t help but smile as I kissed her forehead.

“He knows you meant well.”

We entered the house, and my dad made his way down the stairs, wearing his usual denim jeans and plaid shirt.

“Logan! My boy!”

I internally cringed at the nickname. He wrapped his arms around me in a firm manner before taking Dakota’s hand and kissing the back of it.

“You definitely get your chivalrous tendencies from your father,” she smiled up at me, and my father chuckled.

“Now, you tell me if he forced you and you need some help, alright?” my father whispered to Dakota, making her laugh.

“I can’t say right now, he’s standing right here,” she whispered back, entertaining him, and my mother shook her head, swatting my father’s arm.

Lucy—one of my parents’ dogs—rushed toward us, and Dakota let out a shriek, dropping to her knees in excitement.

“Hi baby,” she cooed, and the great pyrenees wagged her tail in excitement as Dakota rubbed her. “You’re adorable,” she beamed, and my mother chuckled.

“I don’t think you’ll be getting rid of her anytime soon,” my father pointed out, but Dakota only shook her head.

“I don’t think I want to.”

Dakota was going to share my bedroom with me, so my mother gave Chase and Kaden each their own rooms. Another thing they weren’t happy about but couldn’t argue with the apology eyes Dakota kept giving them.

“Your mom’s letting us share a room?” Dakota groaned, lifting her suitcase onto the bed. She unzipped it and began unpacking her clothes.

My parents were extremely religious, which was part of the reason why I moved. Most importantly, why I keep certaindetailsabout my life private. I love Austin and Susanna, and didn’t want my personal life to cause any tension between us.

“Yes. Her only rule is no sex,” I answered, and her head snapped up to me.

“Oh.” I watched the most innocent look of realization flash across her face, and I couldn’t help but make my way over to her.

“It’s one rule we won’t follow,” I reassured her, wrapping my arms around her waist, and her eyes grew wide.

“But we have to,” she whispered as though she was afraid of being heard—caught. “We have to respect your parents, Logan. No—“ she playfully hit my arm with her folded t-shirt. “Premarital—“hit“Sex—“hit“Under—“hit“Their—“hit“Roof.”

“So, you’re going to spend three nights in this bed with me without us having sex?”

“Yes,” she confidently said. “You could learn a thing or two about self control, don’t you think,Professor?” she pushed her ass back against me and I groaned, looking down.

“No,” I sighed, burying my face in her neck, and she giggled, holding onto the side of my neck.

“Wait…” she trailed off, turning around to face me. “You can only have me for one night.”

I ran my tongue on the inside of my cheek as I let go of her. “Just don’t get caught.”

She nodded, seeming hesitant at first.

After I fell back on the bed, she didn’t miss her chance to straddle my lap. “I thought you were Italian,” she suddenly said in confusion.

I couldn’t help but smile as I grabbed her hips.
