“Austin and Susanna are my adoptive parents,” I explained, and she made an O with her lips in understanding.Fuck, her lips. She must’ve felt my reaction under her because her eyes widened and she hit my chest.

“Focus.”

I grinned. “My biological parents passed away when I was young, and Susanna—being my moms best friend—promised to adopt me.”

“Oh, I’m sorry,” her face softened. “Do you keep in contact with your biological parent’s family?”

I nodded. “Yes, I visit my grandparents often.”

She shifted on my lap, looking down at her hands. “Your parents seem really sweet,” she smiled, and I noticed something flash behind her eyes before she masked it.

She leaned forward, pecked my lips and moved back, but I held her waist, stopping her. “What is it?”

She only shook her head, offering a convincing smile that I didn’t believe.

“Dakota.”

“It’s nothing,sir,” she leaned in to peck my lips, then left a trail of kisses up my jawline. My eyes fell shut, and she rolled her hips once, making me grip her hips.

She smiled against my ear before hopping off to continue unpacking. She feigned innocence, and I shook my head.

After adjusting myself—which she giggled at—I left the room.

When I closed the door behind myself, I spotted my mom and Kaden in the doorway of his room. She reached up to squeeze his cheeks, and he stood in the most uncomfortable way I had ever seen.

“Mom, can you give us a minute, please?” I asked, and she whipped around, nodding.

“Your dad just started the fire. Tell your other handsome friend and come downstairs.”

With that, she left, and Kaden followed me to Chase’s room. I opened the door, having Kaden close it.

“Knocking still applies here,” he reminded the two of us. He was sitting on the edge of the bed with his cellphone in his hands.

“My parents’ house, my rules,” I said as I sat down on his bed. “Because of how fucking nice she is, she decided to spend a night with each of us,” I explained and they seemed taken aback. “I’m telling you so that you can help her not get caught.”

“You seem to not like that idea,” Kaden happily pointed out as he crossed his arms over his chest. The fucker always seemed to find amusement at my inconvenience.

“What? Her sneaking around my parents house at night? No fucking shit,” I almost snapped but that only pleased him even more.

“Easy,” Chase smiled, also finding humor in this.

“I fucking hate both of you,” I got up and Chase chuckled while Kaden’s face morphed into a victorious grin.

“She doesn’t make being selfish easy, does she?” Chase rhetorically asked and I shook my head. “But we agreed to share,” he reminded both of us.

We never had any issues with sharing, but sometimes Kaden and I just couldn’t help ourselves.

“Get your head straight before I do it for you,” he warned and my chest rose and fell with a sigh. Kaden, as usual, didn’t seem to pay him any mind and headed for the door.

We collectively decided to head downstairs and found my mom in the kitchen. Right as we were about to pass her, she stopped both Chase and Kaden.

I slipped out the backdoor to find Dakota helping my dad chop some wood. She lifted an axe, slamming it into the wood but failed miserably.

My dad chuckled, giving her an encouraging pat and she tried again but failed even worse. Her angry expression vanished as soon as she saw me, and I couldn’t contain my smile.

“Please, tell me you’re here to save me,” she heavily sighed, handing my dad the axe.

“Of course,” I extended my hand to her, leading her back into the house. “Five minutes?” I leaned down to whisper, knowing I didn’t need to say more.
