It’s late, but at least the guys had the forethought to bring some of my clothes with them. I climb off Damon’s bike and hand him the helmet before picking up my backpack.
“Do I have any sticks in my hair?” I turn my back to him, and he chuckles.
“Only the one I pulled out already.” He brushes his hand over my hair. “You look fine, Evan. No one will suspect a thing.”
I turn and put my hand on his chest, meeting his eyes. “I know I’m still putting off telling them. But I just want you to be here when we tell them and not heading off for a week. I’m happy to be yours.”
Damon smirks and touches my jaw. “You don’t want to face the firing squad alone. I get that.”
“Pretty much.” I go up on my toes, and he lowers his head to kiss me softly.
The house is quiet. If Mom and Adam are home, they’re probably already in bed or at least in their bedroom. We go in the back way and walk to our rooms.
I go into my room to grab something to sleep in and meet Damon in the bathroom where the shower is running already. He’s already stripped naked and hard for me, but he just helps me undress and guides me into the shower.
As we wash each other, I can’t help yawning.
He smirks.
“What? I’m tired.” I rest my forehead against his chest as the water cascades over us.
He cups the back of my head. “I’m not expecting to fuck you all night, little devil. You can sleep.”
I blow out a breath and look up at him. “Today was long.”
“This week will be brutal, but I’ll be home before you know it.” He kisses my temple and turns the shower off. He bundles me in a towel before grabbing his.
We go through our process of getting ready for bed like we always do. I glance at him as I brush my teeth.
He shakes his head. “Don’t start something you can’t finish, little devil.”
I rinse my mouth and smile at him. If I had any energy, I’d be all over him, but I’m exhausted. I take his hand and lead him into our bedroom, climbing into our bed while he watches me. I love this time with him. It’s something special just for me.
I just can’t wait until I have all three of them with me all the time. When we all get to go to bed together.
“Take off the nightgown.” Damon arches his eyebrow at me like I forgot to do it.
I strip it off, leaving on my panties.
“Better.” He climbs in next to me and pulls me down onto his chest, covering us with the blankets. “I like the way your skin feels on mine. I love you, Evan.”
I smile and brush my lips over his bare chest. “I love you.”
CHAPTER 15
Damon
I’m barelyawake when I hear something. I’m not even sure what. Evan is sprawled naked on top of me. Having her close to me, warm from our shower with her words hanging in the air, I stayed awake waiting for sleep to come. But all I could think about was her warm body against mine.
When she rocked her hips against mine, maybe in her sleep, I don’t fucking know, but I stopped resisting. I rolled her onto her back and made sure she knew how much I loved her. She was definitely awake by then.
We clung to each other as we came, and I shifted her to sleep on top of me. Now, her hand curls into my side like she heard something too, or maybe she felt me move beneath her. It’s dark out the window, and nothing stands out. I fade back into sleep.
“Damon!” My dad’s voice. “We can’t find?—”
The lights turn on, blinding me.
“What?” Evan lifts her head.
