“It’s a Mantas onesie.”

“Yes, I’m aware. That whole night was a whirlwind but when I woke up the next morning to a video of you prancing down to the park with Roscoe? I must have watched that a dozen times while I tried to put my heart back in my chest.”

“Babe,” I groaned. “You fell for my carefree side? That’s so hot.”

She cupped my face and ran the pad of her thumb down my lips to my chin. “I fell for the unfiltered Seth Butler.”

“Unfiltered Seth Butler is madly in love with you, Annalise, and I won’t apologize for it. I want to buy this house with you and spend every moment we can together.” I pressed a kiss to her soft lips. “Preferably inside you.”

“You were inside me a whole lot last night.”

“And it was fucking perfect.” My eyes dropped to our laps. “Those are some loose shorts you’re wearing. I bet you could take my cock out and slide it right back where it belongs.”

She laughed as I kissed my way up the column of her neck. “I seem to recall something about me getting three orgasms to your one for the rest of the week.”

“Ever come on a dock before babe?” I ran my hands over her breasts and found she wasn’t wearing a bra. Fuck me.

“Can’t say that I have.”

“How about I find those three orgasms right here and then as a reward you take out my cock and put it where it belongs?”

“Nope. I want three good orgasms.” She pushed off my lap and stood, holding her hand out to me.

I took it without question. “You’re a very cruel rule follower, Annalise.”

She pulled me up towards the house. “If you give me three orgasms while telling me over and over how much you love me and can’t live without me, then I’ll let you have yours in whatever illicit way you want.”

“On the dock?”

She turned, threw her arms around my neck, and whispered, “I was thinking we could check the acoustics of the Tangerine’s showers.”

ANNALISE

Magic happened. Or something close to it. For the second time this season the Mantas were playing in the same city as the Tangerines. And even more magical, we were all staying at the same hotel.

Which made it very easy to fall asleep in Seth’s arms. I was more than happy to wake up hot because I was sprawled across his chest, exhausted from the orgasms he gave me before we passed out.

“Morning.” He picked up a piece of my hair and threaded it through his fingers.

“Good morning.” I stretched against his hard body and then ran my fingers over his chiseled abs.

Seth groaned. “Babe. You are insatiable.”

“Is that a good thing or a bad thing?”

“Both. We’re meeting the parents today and I’m not sure I can be the best version of myself if I’m constantly thinking about fucking you.”

I hummed, drawing lines between each defined rectangle that made up his abdominals. The sheet began to move and I grinned. Success!

But then Seth grabbed my hand and pulled it to his lips, kissing each finger. “I want your parents to like me. And I don’t want your dad to shoot me.”

I huffed in annoyance. “They’re going to love you because you’re amazing. And my dad won’t shoot you. He doesn’t own a gun. He won’t care if you eye-fuck me the entire time.” I hadn’t met a lot of parents. Maybe that’s why I wasn’t nervous about meeting Seth’s.

“Wait, what? What do you mean your dad won’t care?”

I shrugged. “My parents aren’t like that. They want me to be happy. You make me happy. That’s pretty much it.” I loved my parents but we didn’t have much of a relationship. Not a deep one anyway.
