One-Eighty (Westover Prep 1)

I don’t answer his apology. He has nothing to be sorry for, so I just hold him closer until he pulls out of me to dispose of the condom. He doesn’t leave me alone long, using a warm washcloth from the bathroom to clean between my legs, another embarrassing thing that forces my eyes to close until he’s done.

When he settles back on the bed, we don’t bother to grab clothes, opting to hold each other flesh to flesh.

“Are you okay?” he asks after a long silence that had me believing he was asleep.

“Yes.”

“Sore?”

“A little, but I heard it gets better the more you have sex.” His penis thumps against my leg, making me chuckle. “But it isn’t going to happen again today.”

He holds me tighter, resting his chin on the top of my head.

“Thank you,” he whispers.

“For the sex?” I chuckle against his chest.

“For loving me. For forgiving me.”

I lift my head and look up at him. He’s no longer my tormentor. He no longer looks at me with fire in his eyes and a desire to make me fall in shame. His handsome face and gorgeous green eyes are filled with the same kind of love I feel deep in my chest, and it makes me realize that I was right all along.

I killed the tyrant that haunted me day and night. The world is rid of that monster forever because the man in my arms right now is nothing like the evil being I thought would plague me for eternity.

But things are perfect right now.

Right now, we aren’t facing the world.

I’m not arguing with my dad about loving a man that hurt me.

He isn’t facing his friends that may still want to cause me pain.

No, things are perfect right now, but in a month, we go back to school, and that’s when we risk losing each other to the past we’re both trying to forget.EpilogueDalton“I predicted this,” I remind Piper as she looks through the windshield of the car toward the front doors of Westover Prep.

“No, you didn’t,” she mutters, but a smile plays at the corner of her pretty pink lips.

“I did. Six weeks ago, you asked me how I thought today was going to go. I told you I’d offer you my varsity jacket.” I point to the clothing in the back seat of my dad’s truck. “Told you that you’d refuse it.”

“It’s too hot for that right now.”

“Still predicted it.”

“We should leave.” She gives me a saucy look, one that never fails to make my cock thicken in my jeans. “Go somewhere secluded.”

“Predicted that as well. That’s why we left home early and stopped by the park.”

My lips still taste like the treasure between her legs. My mouth has been on her dozens of times since that first time in my bedroom when I finally stopped trying to push her away and accepted that we were meant to be together no matter our past.

“The only thing that’s off so far is you’re supposed to be kissing my lips until the first bell rings.”

“That so?” She finally pulls her eyes away from the droves of students walking into the school. “We can remedy that.”

I’ve never been more grateful that my dad is tall and drives a truck. Without hesitation, Piper flips up the console and climbs into my lap. We’ve done this so many times, she knows the right angle I need her at, and she settles on my lap perfectly.

Her mouth lowers to mine, distracting me from what we’re supposed to be doing, but we still have a little time, so I take sips of her lips and grip her delectable ass in both hands. Both of us have been insatiable since our first time. Even though we have to sneak around because her dad has put his foot down about us dating, we find plenty of time to spend together. Now that school is starting, that will be more difficult. It wasn’t hard to see each other when both of our parents left for work Monday through Friday, but now we have to contend with the seven-plus hours we’ll be at school.

“Let’s leave.” She grinds her hips down on me, a simple reminder that even though I got her off earlier, the favor hasn’t been returned. She likes fast and dirty, and I love to take my time, so we always have to compromise when we’re strapped for time.

“We can’t,” I whisper against her lips before licking into her mouth once again. “And quit grinding on me.”

She giggles, keeping her hips rotating, and it’s driving me crazy because I know just what this feels like when she’s naked, and I’m inside of her. My dick cries to be released.

“I swear it, Piper. I’ll fuck you right here in this truck.”

“Mmm,” she moans, her lips leaving wet kisses along my jaw.
