Zach and Tanner are both taken care of. If anyone else wants to come at us, they haven’t made their presence known yet, but if they do, we’ll take them down.

Harper, football, school, and then solving mysteries is the order of what’s important at this time.

With state finals in two weeks, we were lucky to get away for this weekend. Coach made us all promise to keep up our training while we’re out of town. Normally he would tell us to schedule it postseason, but with everything that happened this season and the fact we haven’t let him down, he’s going a little soft for us.

Nico hasn’t let up on kissing Harper. She lowers her hands to his shirt. Jack shakes his head at the two of them before he gets a mischievous gleam in his eyes. Harper laughs when he grabs her hips and drags her away from Nico. “You’re doing it all wrong. Let me show you how to do it right.”

Jack kisses Harper, and she wraps herself around him. Nico shakes his head with an indulgent smile. His hair sticks up every which way from Harper’s fingers. He trails kisses up Harper’s arm.

Eli walks into the room, looking at something on his phone. He glances up when Harper lets out a little laugh. A smile tugs at his lips as he settles next to me on the wall.

“It’s a good place,” he says, watching Jack and Nico tickling Harper while she giggles. Her skirt has risen up to show off her delicate pink panties as she writhes between them.

When Luke walks in, he shakes his head. “I figured someone would be fucking her by now.”

I laugh, but this right here. This is everything I’ve ever wanted, and I’ll do whatever it takes to keep a hold of it.

Harper turns, her eyes darkened in lust and focused on me, and smiles. Fuck, that smile is all the encouragement I need to drag her into the nearest closet at school. I push away from the wall. Nico works on lifting her shirt off while Jack takes off his own.

“We do have places to go today.” Eli rubs his fingers over his lips. Like he isn’t about to get naked with us and make our girl come all over his dick. “Maybe this can wait until later?”

Luke laughs. “Are you trying to protect your future stepsister?”

I pause at the edge of the bed and look back at them.

“Fuck off,” Eli says, punching him in the arm.

Eli rolls his eyes, but before he can say anything else, I ask, “Stepsister? Has your dad finally made a move?”

It’s almost a running joke of will they or won’t they with Cameron and Jennifer. Anyone with eyes can see there’s a spark there, but whether or not they go for it is the question.

“Is this really the time for this discussion?” Eli runs a hand through his hair.

A tug on my belt gets me to look down into Harper’s eager face while she works on undoing my jeans. She wets her lips and... fuck, what are we talking about? Why are we talking at all? I grin and stroke my thumb along her cheekbone.

Her top is off, leaving her in a pretty pink bra that matches those panties Jack’s slipping down her thighs. The time for talk has definitely passed.

CHAPTER 59

Shore Leave

Harper

Stolen moments at school and parties, and some weekends at Caden’s are all we usually get nowadays. His parents have been home more, which is awesome for Ava to have them in her life, but it means playtime at Caden’s isn’t the same as it used to be. We definitely don’t play hide and seek or play down in his basement.

This weekend is the first time to ourselves in a while. There are no parties we have to attend. No parents wanting to discuss court cases or therapy. Just some college tours and my guys.

And right now, there’s a huge bed and I’m practically naked on my knees as Jack strips off my panties. Nico releases my bra fastening and I finish unzipping Caden’s pants. When I move to remove my bra, Caden cups my cheek and drags his thumb across my lips. My system is already on meltdown, but somehow I don’t combust at the heat that swells inside me.

I part my lips and suck on his thumb while meeting his eyes. Those eyes burn with lust and make me so needy. I want all of them. And lucky for me, I can have all of them.

When Jack strokes my clit, I moan softly.

“This reminds me of our game that Nico didn’t get to participate in,” Eli says.

I glance up at him. He leans against the wall.

He smirks. “You in only a skirt. Getting our pants wet every time you sat on our laps.”
