“I haven’t been workingthatmuch, but I don’t think she’ll ask for specifics either. I’ll say you helped me get approved and that I plan to teach more classes to afford it.”

She hasn’t said anything, but having to sneak behind her sister’s back and lying is getting to her. As soon as everything goes back to normal, we’ll tell Sophie the truth together.

“Yeah, I’ll even add in that I did it so I didn’t have to keep picking up her pain in the ass sister.”

“Ha! So funny.”

For once, I don’t see Johnny’s guys following me and wonder if Victoria finally got her father to back off. It gives me hope I’ll have my privacy back. “Hey, turn at the next intersection.”

“What, why?” she asks, putting on her blinker.

“Just trust me.” I follow behind her, then give more directions until we’re in a secluded parking lot behind a bunch of trees. Luckily, it’s already dark out, but I still double-check to make sure we’re alone. “Now lock your car and get in here.”

I quickly jump into my back seat, and when she opens the door, she smirks as she locks it behind her.

“Are you gonna make one of my fantasies come true?” She sets her things down on the passenger side before hopping over the seat.

“That depends. What fantasy are we talking about?”

“Truck sex.” She straddles my lap and rocks against my cock that’s already hard for her. “Most of my friends in high schoolwere doing it in backseats, and I always felt left out.” She pouts, sticking out her lower lip in the most adorable way possible.

“You poor thing,” I say, brushing her hair behind her ear. “Let’s fix that, shall we?”

There are no other vehicles around, so when Maddie rides me fast and hard, we can be as loud as we want. I suck on her delicious tits, and she bounces on my dick until we both come.

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO

LIAM

As the dreadedday of leaving for Vegas draws closer, I try to spend as much time with Maddie as possible. I should be working more since I won’t be able to for over a week, but I can’t find it in me to leave the house when she’s here. Even when we’re not alone, getting to sit in the living room with her and watch TV is enough for me.

We still pretend to annoy each other as Sophie and Mason ramble on about their wedding plans, but they ignore us. They’ll want to live alone eventually although they haven’t brought it up, but Mason’s dad pays the majority of the bills for the house. Even after everything that went down between them, his father still uses his money to get what he wants. I’m not sure if they’ll want to buy their own place after they’re married, or if they’ll kindly suggest I move the fuck out, but either way, I’m not prepared for it.

I’m staying as long as Maddie’s here.

On Saturday, Sophie and Mason go on a date to break away from wedding planning, which means Maddie and I have a few hours to ourselves where we don’t have to pretend we annoy each other. My flight to Vegas is in three days, and I dread everysecond I’ll be away from her, so I won’t take any alone time for granted.

Maddie looked so sad when Sophie announced they were going to the movies. I knew her expression was because we can’t be open about our relationship. Being seen in public as a couple isn’t an option right now, but damn, I wish it were. So I suggested we watch a movie here and try to make the best of it. She liked the idea so much that she filled the coffee table with popcorn and junk food.

“Magic Mike,Dear John, orThe Vow?” Maddie asks around a mouthful of chips.

“If you’re on a Channing Tatum kick again, can’t we at least watch one of his better movies like22 Jump StreetorG.I. Joe?” I ask as I walk to the fridge for a beer.

Although Maddie’s twenty-one and can legally drink, she doesn’t much. Drinking alcohol makes her feel like shit for days after and she can’t have it ruining her rehearsals. I’d love to be able to go out and buy her a few drinks but the risk is too high.

“Hmm…” She pretends to think about it when I return. “Those don’t sound romantic or sexy.”

I wrap my arm around her shoulders, then bring her mouth to mine. “You’re adorable, but your taste in movies sucks ass.”

“Too bad,” she mutters as I slide my tongue between her lips.

It’s hard to believe how much of my heart Maddie has stolen. Not just in the past month, but since the moment we’ve met. She’s kept me sane during this whole situation with the O’Learys, and I don’t regret confessing the truth to her. I’d be drinking myself stupid right now if I were still keeping secrets from her. Finally succumbing to my feelings and giving us a shot were the best decisions I ever made.

We still have a lot of obstacles to overcome, and it won’t be easy, but I’m falling for her. Normally, that would scare the shitoutta me, and I’d be running as far away as possible, but with Maddie, I only want to be closer.

“Fine, you win.” I groan at her ability to get what she wants with her delicious mouth. “Your pick.”

She smiles proudly, and I pummel her into the couch until I can spank her ass.
