“Liam,” she hisses, scratching her nails down my shoulder blades before digging them into my arms. Pleasure mixes with pain as I slide my lips across hers, plunging my tongue inside as we make love.

“You’re my everything, Maddie,” I tell her, brushing her hair from her face.

“And you’re mine.” Her body tenses, and she bites down on her lower lip before adding, “Oh God. Keep. Going.”

Her eyes roll back, and she comes so hard, my dick is nearly broken in half as she squeezes tight. I pound deeper and harder until I see stars, and my balls tighten.

“Fuck,” I groan, rolling off her as I’m nearly catapulted to outer space. It’s never felt like that before.

“Wow,” she says as we both stare up at the ceiling, trying to catch our breaths. After Maddie lets out a satisfied sigh, we clean up, then crawl under the sheets and snuggle.

It’s been a week since Maddie and I broke our no-sex rule, and we haven’t been able to keep our hands off each other. Most days, we fuck more than we eat, but I have no complaints. After waiting so long, it feels like we’re a couple of teenagers unable to get enough. She’s just as insatiable as I am, which means we use every spare minute to get naked together.

The morning sunlight peeks through the curtains, and I roll over and wrap my arm around Maddie’s body. She grinds her ass against me in response. “Morning, baby,” I whisper in her ear, then flatten my tongue against her neck.

“I wanna skip school today,” she whines, rolling over until our fronts are flesh together. “And stay in bed with you and sleep.”

I nuzzle against her neck. “You know damn well we wouldn’t be doing much sleeping.” I chuckle, then add, “and it’s my first day back to work.”

“Boo, you whore!” She groans, causing me to laugh at herMean Girlsreference. Another movie she’s made me watch.

Maddie pulls the blanket over her head as her alarm buzzes. It’s one of the most annoying sounds ever. She pops up, reaches over me, and turns it off, but before she can leave, I pull her to me and kiss her mouth. Morning breath and all. But I wouldn’t have her any other way. I love that we can’t get enough of each other. She smiles against my lips, and in a snap, she has my boxers down and like a cowgirl, rides me hard and fast. It doesn’t take long before we’re both breathing hard and finding our release, trying to stay as quiet as possible, though we’re not very good at it. Something our roommates have become accustomed to now.

Quickies with Maddie are better than a breakfast buffet. Knowing she wants me as much as I want her has me wishing I could stay home from work today. I’m half-tempted to roll inthe sheets with her all morning, but her second alarm goes off, bringing us back to reality.

She lets out a huff before standing and grabbing her phone for the second time. “I guess I’ll go to class.”

I stand and pull her into my arms, grinning at her pouty face. “Only four more months until graduation and summer.”

“It can’t get here fast enough. Look how pale I am!” Maddie shows off her arms, and I grab her wrist and kiss it.

“You’re starting to look like a vampire,” I tease. “Do you feel like sucking…”

She playfully swats at me. “You’re terrible.”

“You created a monster,” I counter.

“You werealreadya monster,” she says with a laugh, walking to the closet and pulling out an oversized hoodie and jeans. I get dressed as well, actually excited to be on a job, searching for a fugitive and feeling normal again. It’s been too long, and while I’m rusty, I’m sure once I’m in the swing of things again, working will be like second nature. Honestly, I’ve missed my life. I’ve missed how easygoing things were before I met the O’Learys and got caught up in a horrible situation. I’d much rather have the adrenaline rush from stakeouts than playing poker. That part of me is dead for good.

Maddie and I walk hand in hand into the kitchen where there’s a box of a dozen donuts sitting on the counter with a note from Mason.

Sophie made me get you two lovebirds donuts. Apparently, I owe you one for breaking the shower. Don’t ask. The plumber is coming later today.

Maddie snorts and shoves a donut in her face while she shakes her head. “Probably having rough sex again. Thankfully, I don’t need to shower this morning. Geez,” she says around a mouthful, snagging another one.

“You’re probably right, but as long as donuts are involved, I kinda don’t care.” I shrug, snatching one and eating it in two large bites.

Maddie pulls a to-go cup from the cabinet and boils some water for tea. “You know what next week is, don’t you?”

“Nope,” I tease.

Her face falls as she grabs the milk from the fridge. “Seriously?”

“No idea.” I take another donut, knowing I could probably finish the rest of them on my own.

“Liam!” Maddie sticks out her bottom lip, and I go to her, laughing at her pathetic lip tremble.

I plant quick kisses on her cheek until I find her mouth. “Babe, of course, I know what it is. Your birthday. Number twenty-two.”
