Cameron

After an entire hour of sweating my ass off on my run, the sun is beginning to set in the distance as I wind my way around the familiar sidewalks that lead back to the house. Living in Arizona, there are tons of incredible views, but the sunsets would make the top of my list if I had one. Swirls of oranges, reds, and pinks paint the sky like a glorious canvas, and if I look hard enough, Shadow Mountain looms in the distance.

I used to love looking at the sunsets with my mom. We’d make a habit of coming out on the porch swing with blankets and mugs of hot chocolate, and she’d ask me about my day or we’d discuss trivial things that didn’t matter.

Now, looking at the porch swing feels lonely. The wood is splintered and cracked, and the chains are rusting. It’s been a long time since anyone last sat on it.

Ignoring the heart-wrenching twist of pain, I push through the front door and head upstairs before I let a wave of despair consume me. My T-shirt is damp with sweat and my curls are stuck to my forehead and the back of my neck. All I want to do is shower, but when I open my bedroom door Maddie is standing in front of my mirror.

Oh hell .

She jumps when she sees me in the reflection, spinning around while attempting to tug the shirt past her thighs. “I’m sorry,” she says. “I took Ethan’s spare key and thought I’d surprise you, but I got bored, so I snooped in your closet, and—” She cringes. “I’m sorry. This is stupid.”

I put my hand up to stop her, letting my eyes trail over her body in my jersey. The shirt with my number from high school has never looked so right. It grazes her thighs, and I’m more than curious to know if there’s anything underneath it.

I tilt my head to the side and lean against the doorway. “I’d prefer you leave it on.”

“Really?”

“Yes.” I can’t look away from her curvy frame wrapped in navy-blue fabric when I add, “Keep it.”

“ Keep it? Cameron, this is your jersey. I can’t—”

“You can.” I take two steps closer, not trusting myself to get within arm’s reach. “It’s my old jersey, anyway. One from high school.”

A faint blush creeps onto her cheeks. “I know. It’s going to sound ridiculous, but I always got jealous of whatever cheerleader wore your jersey for homecoming, and I wondered what I’d look like in it, so I tried it on. I didn’t think you’d be back so soon. Normally your workouts take longer.”

“It was cardio tonight,” I explain, but despite the steadiness of my tone, my heart skips a beat at her words. Maddie has always had a thing for me, and while I already had an inkling about it, it’s completely different to hear it from her lips. It makes me wish I had kissed her a long time ago. Maybe I could have told Ethan about us and he wouldn’t have wanted to pummel me, and maybe then I could have played those games with her wearing my jersey every weekend.

My eyes soften at how beautiful she looks in my number, and if I could go back in time, if I had known I could be this happy, I would have changed everything. “Keep it,” I repeat. “It looks better on you.”

“But it’s a keepsake,” she whispers, twirling the edge of the jersey with her fingers. My eyes are drawn there next, but I force myself to break away from staring at her thighs and give her the honest truth.

“So are you.”

Three words .

Three words have the power to shift the energy in the room.

Maddie’s eyes glaze over with desire, and then before I can even blink she’s launching herself into my arms with her lips crashing against mine.

I catch her with ease and stride toward my bed, damn near falling on top of her from lack of control. She rips her lips away from mine and attaches them to my neck instead, and the feeling of her tongue swirling different patterns on my skin is enough to make me combust before we even get started.

Sliding my jersey up around her waist, I’m greeted with bare, smooth skin. The sight has me groaning before I begin to sink between her thighs, but then she shakes her head, panting and breathless as she props herself on her elbows. “Tonight was supposed to be about pleasing you ,” she says. “I surprised you for a reason.”

I kiss her shoulder, then her collarbone. “Pleasing you does please me, Mads. That’s what you don’t get.”

Taking me by surprise, she flips us over so that she’s on top of me now, and the expression on her face is breathtaking. “And pleasing you”—she runs her hands down my chest until she finds my cock hard and waiting against my shorts—“pleases me .”

I can’t think of a reply, completely entranced and stunned that she’s capable of doing this to me—making me feel like I belong to her and only her. It’s a foreign feeling, one I’m not used to, but the more we do this, the more comfortable I’m becoming with it.

And if I had to guess, I’d say the same goes for her. Maddie’s confidence is flourishing as well, and I soak all of it up when she strips off my jersey and tosses it to the floor. She’s straddling me in nothing but skin , and her tits are on full display for me. I can’t help but reach up to grab one, giving it a squeeze and becoming obsessed with the way her head falls back in response.

I’ve imagined her in this position way too many times. I want her to ride my cock just like this with her hands on my chest to support her weight, but Maddie seems to snap out of whatever daze she’s in and sinks between my thighs instead, tugging my shorts and briefs down.

Well, that works too .

My cock springs free with a heartbeat of its own when Maddie grabs hold of it and runs a thumb over the tip. The tiny grin she gives me has me groaning in agony for her to go further, but she continues to tease, stroking her hands lightly enough to not bring too much pleasure but enough to make my hands fist the sheets beside me.

“Maddie.” Her name is a desperate plea. I’m unable to look away from her when she finally puts her mouth on me, and the feeling is indescribable.

“Oh fuck .” I sigh as she bobs her head up and down, getting adjusted to my length. I put one hand behind my head and hold her hair away from her face with my free one.

That’s the least I can do.

She sucks at the very tip, flicking her tongue against my crown before she takes all of me. I nearly come off the bed when I reach the back of her throat, and I’m transfixed by the way her eyes remain locked on mine through it all. Seeing those blue eyes so determined is a sight I’m going to store in my memory forever. My cock filling her mouth should be considered a masterpiece.

“Just like that, baby. Fuck, you’re gonna make me come.”

With watery eyes, she gags finally before coming up to gasp for air. I want to shout in protest from the lack of contact, but then she gets that little grin on her face again, and I’m completely unprepared for what comes next.

She grabs her tits with both hands—the tits I’ve fantasized about for years—and I’m incapable of breathing when she leans over to slip my cock between them.

Holy .

Fucking .

Shit .

I throw my head back against the pillows, but my brain screams at me to watch her. I don’t want to miss a second of this, so I lift my head and watch as she slides them up and down my length. Maddie has already brought all my fantasies to life and added new ones to top it off, but nothing compares to this.

She watches my face carefully as she does it, and I know it’s because I’m the only one she’s done this to. My cock grows harder at that revelation, and it seems to have a mind of its own when my hips jut forward to take over for her.

“God damn ,” I pant. My eyebrows knit together as I fight my release. I don’t want this to be over too soon. It’s our last night together before we leave for the Grand Canyon with her family, but she feels so fucking good . I can’t stop. Can’t drag my eyes away from the sight of them wrapped around my cock. Can’t stop—

“Fuuuck.” My release bursts out of me like a goddamn firework, painting Maddie’s face, chest, and hair. She jumps back in shock at first before she leans into it, fisting me with her hand to get the last drops.

She’s smiling with my come splattered across her skin, and the thing I said about sunsets being my favorite view in Arizona?

Scratch that .

Maddie becoming my personal canvas just took the top spot.
