you're not important. He's my dad, Cade. He's the only parent I've had for as long as I can remember."

"And me?"

She laughs dryly. "You're the guy that's yelling at me after I did something nice for you."

I blow out a long exhale. "You're right, I'm sorry. But can't you see how fucked up this is that you even had to do that?"

"I was just trying to help," she says.

"Help a guy who doesn't fucking deserve it!" My blood is boiling, my teeth grinding together. "If I were to get the revenge I'm looking for, if I break our parents up just to put mine together and your dad gets hurt in the process, what then? Who would you really choose if it came down to it?"

"I don't know!" she shouts. "But clearly you have no faith in this going anywhere at all, so go! Get out!"

No part of me wants to leave, but let's be real. It's for the best, isn't it? Like Bryce so nicely pointed out last night—we never stood a chance anyway, so better it ends now.

I look at Lennon, seeing her so detached and withdrawn from me as she stares out the window. "Whatever."

My feet carry me out the door, and I slam it behind me, but as soon as the piece of wood separates us, I stop. Turning around, I grip the doorway with both hands and my head drops. I take a few deep breaths.

The door opens, and Lennon stands there with a fire in her eyes like I've never seen. I step forward and wrap her in my arms, covering her mouth with my own and kicking the door shut behind me. Her tongue tangles with mine as our hands grip and grab anything we can.

With my hands under her ass, I lift her up and pin her against the wall. A breathy moan flows out of her mouth. Just like that, I'm rock hard in record speed. Over the last couple weeks, this would be the time I back away, but no part of me plans on stopping now. Not if I'm going to lose her. Not if there's a point where she's no longer mine.

No, I'm going to take every piece of her she's willing to give.

Lennon grinds down on my clothed cock, and I groan at the contact. I move my mouth to her neck, licking and sucking at the sensitive skin. Her breathing is heavy, but in a way that tells me she's just as turned on as I am.

She pulls my shirt over my head and pushes me back. I watch in awe as she stands there, completely in control and confident while stripping down to nothing. If there was any hesitation in my mind, it's gone the second her gaze meets mine.

She wants this. Wants me.

In one swift move, I grab her and toss her onto the bed. My face dives down between her legs on a mission to finally taste her in the one spot I've been craving since the moment she all but tried to fight me on the beach.

My tongue grazes the bundle of nerves, and her sweet juices meet my taste buds. She gasps, gripping the bedsheets with one hand while she uses her other to lace her fingers into my hair. This girl may be a virgin, but I'm about to create a fucking monster.

I tease her clit over and over until she's quivering beneath me. As I slip one finger inside, I can already tell—this girl is going to be my fucking undoing. A single digit and she's already clenching around me.

"Take your shorts off," she demands. "And then lay on the bed."

Normally, I'm the one in control, but no part of me is about to deny her. Not here and certainly not now. I do exactly as she says and watch as she reaches into her nightstand and pulls out a condom.

I chuckle. "Where did you get that?"

She shrugs with a proud smile. "Tessa gave me a box for my birthday. I figured I may as well hold onto them."

I go to take it from her but she pulls it away.

"No, I want to do it."

My hands move to the back of my head. "Then by all means, don't let me stop you."

She rips it open and throws the wrapper on the floor before sliding it over my cock like she's practiced this a million times over. Just her touch has me threatening to explode right here and now, but
