“Oh.” Well, now I feel like a dick. “Sorry, man. I wasn’t tryin’ to⁠—” “I’ve never had sex either,” Landon blurts out, cutting me off, scratching the back of his neck nervously. “I don’t know.”

Raid opens and closes his mouth, not exactly opposed, but confused. “Why?” “Because he dared you to,” Silas throws back. “You gonna streak or you gonna do it?” Raid shakes his head. “I don’t think⁠—”

He’s cut off when Landon grabs both his cheeks and plants a fat kiss on his lips. I think it was supposed to be quick, but the way Raid’s hands snap up and latch around Landon’s neck prevents that from happening. In a split second, they’re full-on making out, trying to devour each other’s mouths, and the rest of us are left gaping. Landon makes some sort of choked noise and Raid growls—holy shit that’s hot.

I go to tell Blaine that but see Silas has already broken his dare and has his tongue down Blaine’s throat. It’s cute—the fact that they can’t keep their hands off each other—and I’m no longer filled with jealousy at that.

however, not about this. Instead, I wiggle so that I’m facing him and hook my leg over his hip before pressing a quick kiss to his lips, savoring the tobacco and the mint flavor. “Missed you too.” Then I nestle against him, resting my head against his chest and let the pounding thuds of his heartbeat lull me to sleep.

tattooed hands that come up to cup his face ruin him. But I can’t let him go. His hands latch onto my wrists, and I look at our connection, trying to let his touch ground me back to the reality that’s slipping through my fingers. Bunky. Bunky. Bunky.

“Bunky?” I question, blinking rapidly to clear the tears away. “I… I don’t know what happened.” “Whaley.” He whispers and I can’t make myself hold his gaze. I’m worried about what I’ll show him, scared of what he’ll see. “What do you need? How can I help?” Help?

“Didn’t say we were. You need to shower, and I’m goin’ to help you.” I open my mouth to protest but he reaches up, pressing a finger to my lips, eyes softening as he takes me in. “No. Stop. Just let me take care of you.”

“Stop it,” I growl, trying to stop my dick from taking interest. Only it’s fucking Bunky, so he’s very much interested in anything he has to offer. He shrugs, flipping on the water. “Just admirin’ the view. It’s one of my favorites.”

now and then I glance at him, and it’s like he’s stuck in a trance. His pierced tongue is poking out as he focuses on my arms, and his eyes are concentrated as he kneels down and washes my thighs.
