“Don’t worry about it.” Wily laughs, pulling my handaway so I can see his wincing frown. “I’m really sorry about your bed.”

I turn my head to check out the broken frame. “Not designed for two.”

“My bed is.” Wily’s voice takes on a husky, sexy quality that sends a shiver coursing through my body.

I turn to give him a skeptical frown. Is he serious? After getting caught by my parents, he’s happy to keep going?

“Should we take this to the guest room?”

“I’m not sure I can move.” My face bunches. “I’m pretty sure I’ve just died from embarrassment.”

He laughs and gets to his feet, kicking the pants off his ankles before reaching out a hand to help me up.

“Come on, you.” Sweeping his arm under my legs, he hitches me against his chest and starts carrying me to the door.

Having never been carried like this before, I tense at the unexpected move and quietly tell him, “Stop. I’m too heavy. I can just walk.”

Pausing at my doorframe, he gives me a stern frown and tells me, “Don’t talk bullshit,” before carrying me across the hallway and into the guest room.

Laying me down on top of the bed spread, he climbs up beside me, resting his hand on my belly and murmuring against my breast, “Now, where were we?”

CHAPTER 47

WILY

So yeah, Satch’s parents saw my bare ass. They saw me actually inside their daughter, and I’m lucky not to be standing on the snowy street outside with my pants around my ankles.

Which is why I have to make this second chance count.

My gorgeous girl is lying beside me on this heinous pink duvet, and I can tell she’s dubious about trying again. We were midway, my body heating with that electric fire, and it’s not gonna take much for me to get back there.

But I won’t force her into anything she doesn’t want to do.

Her body is kind of stiff as I kiss my way from the curve of her breast to that beautiful pink nipple I love so much.

Sucking it into my mouth, I play with it for a selfish minute before glancing up at her face.

Shit.

My insides deflate as I sit back on my elbow and stare down at her. “We don’t have to do this. We can just sleep if you want.”

Her frown is uncertain, and I push the corners of her mouth up, trying to make her smile.

A breathy laugh makes her boobs jiggle, and I glance down at them. Yearning powers through me, but I force myself to say, “We can just snuggle up and fall asleep. I get it.”

“I’m surprised you want to do anything after that embarrassment. I mean, my parents caught us having sex. Don’t you want to curl into a ball and die?”

I laugh, unable to help myself.

Cupping her cheek, I guide her to look at me. “Satch, your parents saw me having sex with their daughter who I happen to…” My throat swells, my voice getting husky as I take a giant risk and just say it. “Love.”

Her eyes dart to mine, wide and beautiful in the soft lamplight.

My insides turn to pliable putty, a smile teasing my lips as I say it with a little more conviction. “I love you, Satch. And I don’t know if I’ve loved a girl before, because what I feel about you is off the charts. You know?”

“I know,” she whispers, her eyes welling with tears as she stares up at me with a watery smile. “I love you.” She sniffs. “And I’m not just saying that because you just said it. I really mean it. I’ve been feeling it for a while, but I thought it was too soon. I didn’t want to freak you out, but… I love you. I do.”

Brushing a tear off her cheek, I can’t explain this sensation riding through me.
