She peeks out at me from between her fingers, and I chuckle.
“Tonight,” I say, “is about what you want. Forget everything else.” And then I lower myself down on top of her and kiss her again, my lips moving over her mouth to the apples of her cheeks, to her closed eyes. I pin her hands above her head again. “Tonight, you’re mine.”
“Yours,” she repeats, and I like the way it sounds on her tongue. I like it so much that I can’t wait to take her again.
I pull out of her slowly, and she gasps and then sighs. Her eyelids are heavy, and I wrap my arms around her and pull her close, leaving tomorrow’s worries for future Cash.
Right now, all I want is to be with June.
Twenty-Eight
JUNE
If I wasn’t sosore from last night, I would’ve dismissed it as a wild fantasy. But I can still feel Cash between my legs, and it makes me shaky. I stand in the kitchen, my hands on the counter, staring out at the street.
We had sex two more times in the middle of the night, and I am exhausted, beyond satisfied, and completely confused. When I woke this morning, he wasn’t in my bed, but my sheets smelled of him, of us, and there was a handwritten note on my bedside table.
See you tonight, gorgeous.
I can’t help worrying about the future. How is any of this going to pan out when we’re heading in different directions? Cash’s heart is here, and I’m set on leaving. Cash doesn’t want more than sex, and I’m struggling to stay disconnected already.
“Almost ready!” Alex calls down the stairs.
Daisy wants to meet up and figure out what she and Alex are going to do for their performance.
My phone buzzes in the pocket of my cut-off jeans, and I curse myself for my nervous reaction.
Two notifications pop up on my screen.
One is a text message from Cash. The other is an email from Lone Star College Counselors.
I open the text message first.
CASH
Thinking about you. Can’t wait to get home and make you mine again.
We should talk about what happened.
After.
My pussy thrums. Such a traitor, she is. But I’m helpless when it comes to him. The memories of him inside me are so strong, they overwhelm the guilty conscience that says I’m selling myself short. Cash made it clear he doesn’t want a commitment.
I open the email from the college counselors.
Hi, June.
Thank you for your email. This is Sasha, from Lone Star College Counselors, and I’m happy to say that you don’t need to come all the way out to Austin for your consultation.
I’m more than happy to do an online call with you if you’re available for that.
Let me know which times suit you, and we can talk.
Kind regards,
Sasha Turnbull
I can talk to them from here—that’s going to save me a lot of money and open up my options. I’m hoping there’s a college nearby that has rolling admissions, but affordability is still an issue.
