“Knox, oh my God, I’m so close…” She throws off my ball cap and fists my hair. “Please don’t stop.”

While flicking her clit, I thrust two fingers inside until she trembles and releases on my tongue.

“Fuck, you taste so damn good.” I stand to reach her face and stick my tongue in her mouth so she can see for herself.

“My legs are jelly.”

I chuckle, my erection poking her in the stomach.

“I should get back to Harper before she worries about me.”

“Maybe you can come over later and help me out with this…”

She rubs a palm over my bulge, and I groan. Goddamn, it feels too good.

“Don’t tease me…” I warn.

Just as she unbuttons my jeans, her name is called from behind us. “Hey, Hadleigh? Harper’s looking—”

Ethan stops dead in his tracks when he spots us.

“Shit, never mind.” He spins around, closing the door behind him.

Hadleigh’s head falls on my chest with a sigh. “Great.”

“See, if we were together, we wouldn’t have to sneak around,” I mock, lifting her chin, then pressing my lips to hers. “You have a decision to make. I wanna know by Saturday.”

Her brows rise. “Kaitlyn’s birthday party?”

“Yep. You either decide you’re stayin’ the night with me, or I’ll assume it’s over. Ball’s in your court.”

She snorts with a groan. “Hardly.”

I rub the pad of my thumb over her cheek. “You have six days to think about it. I’ll see you there, and you can tell me then.”

Before she can argue, I fix my jeans, grab my hat, then walk out.

Kaitlyn: Maize said she’d make the food for the party. Can I assume you’re taking care of the alcohol, or do I need to ask Rowan?

Kaitlyn: I also want a cake…can you order one from Kat? Or do I need to order my own?!

Kaitlyn: Don’t forget the decorations!

Jesus Christ.

She’s been blowing up my phone all morning. You’d think she’d know when it comes to parties, I give it my all. And hopefully, Hadleigh will tell me she’s all in too, and it’ll be the best damn day of my life.

Knox: I already ordered your stupid cake and got balloons. Rowan’s bringing the alcohol, and I even have Grandma making your favorite blueberry muffins. Anything else, Queen Kaitlyn?

Kaitlyn: Some single men on the guest list?

I snort at that. She shouldn’t be in any rush to settle down because she’s still young.

Knox: I’ll see what I can do.

Kaitlyn: You’re the best, thank you!

Knox: Now say I’m your favorite brother.

Kaitlyn: Let’s see how Saturday goes first.
