When he parks outside Iona House, I pry my eyes from the windshield, and the face staring back at me is expectant.
there’s only one thing on my mind tonight. Rather, one girl. Don’t go. I won’t pretend that those two words didn’t slide to the tip of my tongue when I heard about her date.
“You were right, she says, resting her hands on her hips, chest heaving. I’m speechless, staring at her drenched figure. “My date tried to kiss me.” The heat that radiates off my body feels charged with violence. Apparently, my little speech to her didn’t dampen my jealousy. She rolls her eyes. “Calm down, nothing happened.”
“Because I couldn’t stop thinking about you. Because every time he complimented me or touched me, I wished it was you. Because when we were in his car and he leaned in, I told him there’s someone else, and I ran straight here.”
I take a step closer to her because I’m pretty sure I’ll combust if I don’t touch her right now. I slowly brush away the water droplets on her cheeks. “Are you done pretending, Summer?” “You tell me.” She takes hold of my shoulders, and our lips collide with a burst of fireworks.
She tastes like mine. She always has.
“Your cock blocking worked, assholes.” I turn to the two idiots grinning from ear to ear. “What did they do?”
“You were moping around like a lovesick puppy.”
I realize these reckless and loyal friends of mine, have my back like no other.
“You wore this for him?” I ask, tugging it. The insecurity in my voice is embarrassing. “You’re the one taking it off, Crawford. I wouldn’t be complaining.”
“Will you shower with me, Aiden?” “You sure?” I’m trying not to look like a puppy offered a treat. She just confessed how she feels, which is a lot for her, and I don’t want her to feel suffocated.
“I’m yours, Aiden. Treat me like it.” She’s mine. And she's perfect. “You are,” I say, my throat thick. “So, it’s only right that you get the Summer Preston girlfriend experience.” I’m rock-hard. “Girlfriend? Is that the word we’re using?” “Mm. I figured you’d like it.” She eyes my pants with a demure smile. My hands itch to touch her, so I pull her toward me. “And what would that make me?” Her hands glide up my biceps, causing a tremor to run through me. “My boyfriend. My hot, sexy, kind boyfriend.”
“You don’t need flattery to get into these pants, baby.” Summer’s hands snake around my shoulders to the nape of my neck. “Then why aren’t they off yet?”
“You wear glasses?” I ask Dylan who’s in the living room reading a book. Dylan lowers his glasses. “Why? Is it turning you on?”
“Don’t be a prude. You two are not as quiet as you think you are.”
“You and Kian are buddy-reading a romance book?” “What? Men can’t read romance? Selfish of you to deprive us of this gold mine of information. Aiden, you gotta read one too, she’s onto something.”
“So, you’ve been reading my books?” “Yup. I’m a big fan of the ones that have all the red tabs.” My eyes widen when he smirks and drops a kiss on my lips. “Let’s go upstairs so I can show you what I learned.”
omg🫠🫠🫠🫠😩
“You’re my sunflower, Summer.”
room service and books.
“Yes, Aiden. Any place that made you who you are, has to be the closest thing to heaven on earth.”
“That’s not what this is about. I’m meeting my girlfriend’s dad. How you feel is the most important to me.”
“Are you sure it’s not because you want to hurry back so I can show you what I learned from your books?”
as if he’s not making me delirious.

The sensory overload all but fries my brain to a pea.

“Let me grab a hoodie. I’m coming with you.”
he’ll be the first person I confide in.
she’s the greatest woman I’ve ever met, and it’s no thanks to you.”
I care about you. If you can count on one person to be on your side no matter what, it’s me. I don’t ever want you to think you’re alone because there isn’t a second that goes by when I’m not thinking about you.”
“As for your sisters…I love all my children equally. But you, Sunshine, you’re my firstborn. My baby girl who taught me what it was—what it is—to be a father.”
“I think I want to be alone with Aiden.”
“You love that boy?” “A lot,”
but I only notice how handsome he looks in his suit.

I can share my memories, so it doesn’t feel like my parents are completely gone.” “Because they’re not gone, Aiden. Your memories keep them alive, and when you share them with me, I want to keep them alive for you too.”
and I wish I could see myself through his eyes. Then maybe I could become that version of me.
“As much as I love your body, your mind trumps everything. I can’t understand how someone so fucking amazing is bound up into one human being. You make everything so much brighter, Summer, and it drives me crazy that you can’t see that.”
“You make it sound like I’m perfect.” “To me you are. You’re beautiful, strong, kind, and so deserving of love that I hope I can prove it to you in this lifetime. Because th...

“Because I love you,” he says, and I freeze. “Anyone would know it. They only need one look at me when you walk into a room to see it. I love you, Summer.”
This fucking guy. He’s ridiculously attractive and sweet. I didn’t stand a chance.
“Okay, now give me a few minutes to match your slutty vibe.”
he also looks hot as hell.
“What are you doing?” “Carrying you.” I shake my head. “I can walk.” “I know you can.”
“I missed you,” I whisper. He plants a kiss in my hair. “Missed you too, baby.”
“Why did you wake me? My dreams are so much better than reality, full of little fairies braiding my hair.”
“Stay at my place.” “Why? So you can hold me in your stupidly large arms and coax everything out of me?
“You can come with me, or I’m staying with you.”
“You want to take care of me?” “As long as you’ll let me.”
