Cupids Peak

“It’s like coming home to a sad cat lady with no cats, and it’s progressively making your aura suck.

You’ve got to be fucking kidding me. “Hey, Mia. It’s been a while.”

totes didnt see that one coming

“Says the nice guy who gets put in the penalty box once every game.” “So you’ve seen more than one game,”

THIS INTERACTION

“Em, please go out there and have a good time. Take a couple of shots, make out, and please, for the love of everything, fuck that man in the gondola on the way down.”

“Motivation? More like irritable bowels.”

HAHAHA

“I was staring at you, Eli.” He narrows his eyes in suspicion. “No way. I saw you after the ceremony. Your sister was saying she was glad you were able to focus on your happy place.”

FUCK ME SIDEWAYS

“This looks really good.” I pick up my fork, hoping to redirect the conversation, but Eli shakes his head. “Uh-huh. No way. What’s the happy place thing about?”

LITERALLY THIS CONVO IS LIGHTING MY SOUL

One of his shoulders lifts half-heartedly. “The only attention I ever wanted, I’m getting right now.”

if only

“I’ve had a thing for you since freshman year when I overheard you and your sister talking about who you’d fuck-marry-kill when it came to the cast of The Breakfast Club.”

molly ringwald, molly ringwald, anyone else

I know the feeling all too well, and again, can’t even get mad at her obvious attraction. “Yes,

i can

“It’s my turn, though, love.

LOVE? LOVEEE?!!! O MY FUCKING GOLLY GEE

“I dare you to let me show you how obsessed I was with you ten years ago.”

he lowkey felt the same?

he literally just said he was obsessed with you so no, not "lowkey" — highkey VERY FUCKING HIGHKEY

Then I’ll lay on my stomach and FaceTime you so we can talk until the sun comes up.”

are you also gonna kick your feet in the air LMAO WTF?!!!

“I see. So you intended to come here and get laid?” I feel my face flush. “I mean… yeah?” “Is it weird that makes me incredibly jealous?” I bite into my bottom lip, unsuccessfully hiding my grin. “Is it weird I like that you’re jealous?”

WHOOOOOO

Butterflies break free in my stomach, flapping around so frantically I think I might get gassy.

Asking for consent twice is always best practice, and including an alternative option just in case. “We can leave now and check into our room.”

was this like a side note lesson on consent? did he take a seminar? HAHAHA

“Truth.” “Do you like being finger fucked under a table in a room full of people?”

oh my damn

I drop my black AMEX on the table and smile.

teehee *heart eyes*

“I dare you to make me come without touching me.” Eli’s brows lift to his hairline as he lets my request sink in. When it does, he drags his teeth over his bottom lip. “But you’re allowed to touch me, correct?”

woah woah woah — back up

“Take it off.” Say fucking less.

lol Eli

This woman is mine. And it’s time she knows it.

LOVIN IT! BIG FAN!

“Yes. God, yes.” “There you go again.” I smirk, pushing her knees apart. “Begging someone who isn’t here. Let’s fix that.”

“My secret—my truth, Mia—is that you belong to me. Always have. Always will.”

awe

“Can I ask you one last question?” I reach for my pants next to her, sliding the condom from my wallet. “Of course.” I roll the rubber down my length before I stand, lining myself up with her entrance. “If I asked you to take a chance on us, would you?” She smiles, her brown irises saying it before she does. “Yes.”

adorable!

Another slap. This one feels even better. “Do you know how many times I had to fuck my hand to the thought of you back then?”

care to expound?

“I’d like for you to stand outside my window with a boombox. Then I want a confession of your undying obsession with me and how you can’t live without me.”

ME HA
