The idea of that was exhilarating. A whole year? God, if I could be so lucky.

As I continued to kiss him, I didn’t realize I was grinding in his lap until his fingers dug into my sides, slowing my movements.

“Wait, Oli, I—” He dropped his head onto the pillow with a curse, his eyes going wide. His hips jolted and his entire body went tense beneath me.

I froze, trying to figure out if this was actually happening.

He drew in a shaky breath,. “Christ, Oli.”

“Oh my God,” I said. “I’m sorry.”

Suddenly, he sat up and gripped my jaw. His lips brushed mine, but he didn’t kiss me.

“Don’t,” he murmured. “I’m just—”

“Surprised? Mad? Disgusted?”

Moving two fingers over my mouth, he shook his head. “I’m embarrassed, dumbass.”

“Embarrassed? Why?”

“Because I . . .” With a grimace, he looked down at his lap.

“Are you kidding? This would be the proudest moment of my life, except I feel like I took advantage of you or something. Are you sure you’re not upset?”

“No, you maniac,” he replied slowly, his voice deliciously gritty. “I’m not upset that you made me cum in my fucking pants.”

I blew out a relieved breath. “Oh, good.”

“Maybe we should dial it back for the night, though. Not because of you,” he added quickly.

I nuzzled my nose against his cheek to hide my smile. “I know. I may be a bit of a mess, but I don’t need you to coddle me.”

“Hmm. I’m not so sure about that.”

Scoffing, I moved to sit on the bed. He got up and grabbed his laptop from the nightstand. After dropping it next to me, he headed into the bathroom. I chewed on my lip as I loaded up the show, unable to stop thinking about why he was in that bathroom.

I glanced at the living room door, then shook my head. As much as I wanted to, this wasn’t something I needed to tell Remi. He’d definitely mention it to Dean, and that wouldn’t end well.

I’d wait at least a week. He was my best friend, and I didn’t hide anything from him. That wasn’t going to change, no matter what else shifted in my life. It was one of those stone things, immutable and eternal.
