“If you keep touching me, we’re going to get in trouble with Josie.”

“Is that so?” I grinned, sliding my fingers lower and making him chuckle as he grabbed my wrist before I could dip below the waistband of his boxers.

“Trust me, I’d much rather stay in bed with your hands on me. Josie’s in a no-nonsense mood, which means she’ll be back to make sure we’re up in a minute.”

As if on cue, Josie appeared in the doorway, putting her hand over the phone to speak while still listening to her call. “I mean it. Out of bed. I’ll drop you off myself if I have to.”

“We’re up,” Lukas replied, trying to keep his injured arm out of view.

She narrowed her eyes, walking off again to trust us to get up, and I finally swung my legs out of bed to stand.

“Are you going to be okay at school? If anyone bothers you, tell me or the guys. I’ll come and kiss you to show them how much you love pussy so they shut up.”

“You don’t need the school thinking you’re fucking all of us,” he said with a shake of his head as he stood too, moving towards me to slide his arms around my middle.

“Why not? I don’t give a fuck. I’ll tell them we had an orgy for breakfast,” I said seriously, standing on tiptoe to kiss him. “Just tell people your mom caught you two tag teaming me. That’ll get people high-fiving you in no time.”

“Go shower,” he snorted, hesitating before dropping a kiss on my neck and leaving the room.

I quickly showered and got ready for the day, sighing as I went to remove my piercings. Being at home had meant I could leave them in.

“Don’t worry about it. No one’s going to tell you what to do now Mom’s been advocating for you at school,” Caden said from the doorway, and I turned to face him.

“Needed something for school?” I asked as he stepped closer, his hand cupping my chin to tilt my mouth up for a kiss without answering me. His free arm circled my waist to pull me closer when I didn’t jerk back, and my hands pressed against his stomach, just needing to touch him.

“I missed you last night,” he murmured against my lips, his fingers sliding into my hair affectionately. “How’s Luke?”

“He slept most of the night, so I think he feels a bit better today. Thanks for giving him space, I didn’t expect you to leave the house. Missed you too,” I replied, abandoning the piercing removal and hoping he was right about me getting away with it.

“We convinced Jense to come and stay with us to distract him. He only managed to get to sleep once Luke texted him to say he was going to sleep,” he admitted. “Thanks for helping Luke.”

“I would’ve done the same for any of you.”

We moved into my room just as Lukas walked in, his eyes pausing on Caden. “You and the guys are here?”

“Just me. Ty and Jense will meet us at school,” Caden answered as we all walked downstairs together, finding Josie waiting at the table with her eyes on her watch.

“Good. I have a meeting this morning, so I expect that you three can get yourselves to school?” she asked, flicking her eyes to mine warmly. “If you have problems today, call me. Your teachers shouldn't bother you for being away, but tell me if they do.”

“Thanks,” I smiled, accepting the coffee that one of the staff handed to me. I preferred making my own, but I didn’t want to cause a fight first thing this morning.

“Have a good day,” she replied and gave my arm a gentle squeeze on her way past, giving Caden a kiss on the cheek and Lukas a pat on the arm too, trusting us to go to school now that she’d seen we were up properly and almost ready to go.

We sat to eat and Caden piled food up on my plate, giving me a look not to argue when I went to protest. I never ate this much breakfast.

Thankfully, he left us alone so he could text, and Lukas quietly picked at his food too. If me having breakfast meant Lukas would, I’d suck it up.

When we were done, we all walked outside together, and I was a little surprised to see Caden’s Challenger parked beside the Corvette.

“Skeet met me here to switch cars back. It’s cleaner than when I bought it off the showroom floor,” Caden joked before sliding behind the wheel, and part of me hated that Skeeter hadn’t stopped in to see me.

He must have been busy.

Lukas came with me in the Corvette, and he was surprisingly chatty on the drive to school. I could tell he was nervous when we arrived because he became quiet, his eyes scanning our surroundings as I parked.

“I’ll be the most enthusiastic girlfriend if you need me to be,” I stated as I switched the engine off, and he looked at me with a chuckle.

“I’m okay. I don’t know how to act around Jense though.”
