Harper

I can definitely see what I have done to him.

Oh my God, his dick is huge.

Massive.

I'll never be able to handle it.

If I ever even get the chance to have it.

He thrust those hips against me so smoothly, my eyes nearly crossed.And the way the boy kisses...it's as if I've died and I'm floating on awhite, fluffy cloud,

only brought to life by his persuasive lips and delicious tongue. All thathip grinding and wandering hands and the heavy, hot breaths againstmy skin.

I'm practically a pile of sweaty goo on our bathroom floor.

No wonder people go on and on about sex. What I just experiencedwas freaking amazing, and it was merely a simple kissing session.

But I don't care that he doesn't want to leave, he needs to. Someoneelse could come knocking on the door or the lights could turn on atany second. What would happen then? Would Easton still feel the sameway if he saw

who I was? Would he freak out that he's been making out with his bestfriend's sister?

I don't know.

I also don’t want to take the chance of replaceing out.

/ want to remember this night just like this, with my skin on fire and lipsstinging and swollen and the memory of him telling me how hot mybody is.

“Easton...” I start, replaceing his waist, touching his chiseled muscles, myfingers getting lost in the grooves between each ab. I open my mouthto tell him to leave. I need so badly to say those words, but

the way his hard-on is pressed against me, the way his body feels soscrumptious under my hands, my head is filling with other thoughts.Ones that involve him staying and his mouth returning to mine andNo, Harper

This has to end.

Now.

“Easton,” I attempt again, “you really have to go,” I reinforce, leadinghim in the dark toward the door.

His fingers graze my chin. “You're going to miss my mouth.”

He's right about that.

I suck in some air, giving myself the courage to jumble with the lock,twisting it vertically, the handle releasing as I pull it open.

“Not even a good-bye kiss?" he asks from the doorway.

One more and I won't have the strength to push him away. I'll tug himright back inside and let him untie every string of my suit.

“You already know what my lips taste like,” I say softly, touching themwith my free hand. “Now, you can dream about them.”

I gently guide him through the threshold and lock the door,

sagging my body against it. I take a big, fortifying breath, the quiversleaping in my chest, the tingles exploding in my stomach.

Did that really just happen?

I'm running my fingers over my lips, reminiscing about the way Easton'shad felt when the lights turn on, the brightness so jarring, I cover myeyes

I can't believe my luck. If this had happened seconds before, everythingwould be different. He would know it's me.

But I'm all alone in here and our kiss is my secret.

I smile, staring at my reflection in

the mirror. I'm a mess. My cheeks and chest are flushed a deep pink.My eyes are sparkling. My hair is in chaos from his hands.

My skin grows warmer at the words lingering in my brain.

His words. His hands.

All over me.

There's a knock on the door and I'm nervous that Easton's returned."Who is it?" I ask.

“It's Sadie, silly, let me in.”

There's a frown on her pretty face the moment the door is open. “Whathappened to you?”

“What do you mean?” I ask, wondering if she can tell what Easton and Ijust did.

“The lights go out and you disappeared! I had no idea where you were,”she chastises, scooting her way inside and shutting the door. “Are youall right?”

“I'm fine.” I smile, trying to hide my jittery nerves.

“You look all flushed.” She waves a hand toward my chest. “Your skin issplotchy.” Her gaze catches on the vodka bottle Easton must've leftbehind. "Ooh, check it out! Jackpot!”

“Come on.” I open the door once

again and we exit together, Sadie clutching the vodka bottle. “Why didthe power turn off? Do you know?”

“I guess the entire block went out I was outside when it happened, andall the houses around us had no lights either. So weird.”

"hid out in the bathroom the whole time,” I tell her, not about to revealthe kiss with Easton. Not yet

I want to savor it-try to recall everything he did and said. Relive itmoment by moment. Then !! tell her

Maybe

“Lame,” she teases, nudging me with her elbow. “Too bad you weren'tlocked in the dark with a hot boy!”

She's so close to the truth, it's scary. “Ha ha, I wish.”

We pass through the crowded kitchen to head back outside, Sadiechatting a mile a minute while I don't say a thing. My mind is still in adaze thanks to Easton and his magical lips.

“Boys are staring at you,” Sadie whispers

I shrug. “So? It's just a bikini.”

Sadie watches me in wonder. “Wow, the lights go out for a fewminutes, and you're completely transformed. I love your new attitude!”“I shouldn't be ashamed of my body,” I say, glancing down at myself,seeing it in a whole new light

This body just had Easton's hands all over it. He even touched me inforbidden places. And I let him. I wanted it.

I wanted him

My gaze wanders around the back yard, searching for him, but he’snowhere to be found

Did he leave? Where did he go?

“No, you absolutely should not be ashamed,” Sadie reaffirms. “Showthem how gorgeous you are, Harper!”

I love how encouraging my friend is. She's the best.

Sadie grabs my hand, dragging me toward the table where my brotherand his friends are still sitting, save for Easton. Disappointment crashesover me and I put on a smile, trying to fake it as the boys start talkingto us.

Mostly me.

And when Ryan realizes his friends are giving me attention, his gazelands on me, his lip curling in

disgust. “You need to cover up,” he says like the protective, older thanme by two minutes big brother

that he is.

I waive a hand around the pool. “No one else is covered up.”

“You still should.”

“I don't want to.”

“I say you should.”

“Ryan,” Sadie interjects. “Leave her alone.”

He glowers at Sadie, but otherwise doesn't say another word

Hmm. I should ask for her support more often

I can feel someone behind me, like an alarm going off, but the buzzingis only inside my body. Each nerve flickering like Easton's hands arecaressing it. I become still, carefully glancing over my shoulder

Before I even see his gorgeous face, I know

It's Easton

Staring at me with a look of such disgust, I can feel my heart shrivel upin fear
