asked.

“Yeah, everything’s perfect. Life’s perfect,” I assured her with a smile.

She smiled back and rubbed my arm, and sure enough we had to focus on our teacher while I tried my best not to grin like a fool, sitting there and thinking of my man who I’d see later tonight.

“Where are you going?” Dad asked as I walked through the foyer with my backpack filled with my pajamas and overnight things.

I stopped in my tracks and turned to him, seeing his and Della’s eyes on me, looking curious as ever.

“Kennedy’s. We’re having a sleepover,” I said, highlighting my lie with a sweet smile.

“When will you be back tomorrow? Your uncle has invited us to the country club to have dinner with them. Riggs will come too,” he explained.

“He will?”

“Yeah, at least that’s what he told me. He’s been busy the past few days.”

Yeah…making me come and fucking me in every room of his house.

“Okay, I’ll be home around lunch time.”

“Make sure to eat breakfast in the morning because I won’t cook anything for lunch tomorrow as we’ll have a big dinner at the club,” Della announced.

“Okay. Good night you guys,” I said, waving at them and then heading out the door to get to my car.

I couldn’t wait to see Riggs again.

The drive to his house didn’t take too long, and after parking next to his car, I got out of mine and rushed over to his front door.

I knocked three times, then stepped back and waited for him to open it while I tucked my hair behind my ears to get it out of my face.

I chose to wear a pleated skirt, similar to my school uniform but with a black, long-sleeved shirt on top, feeling as confident and sexy as ever.

The door swung open and Riggs stood there in his dark gray sweatpants and a white shirt which fit him perfectly.

“Hi,” I greeted, biting my bottom lip to hide my excitement.

Riggs, on the other hand, didn’t care about showing his emotions for once, which I kinda liked instead of him being grumpy all the damn time.

“Hey, gorgeous.”

I stepped closer to wrap my arms around his neck, and he pulled me tight against his body with his arms around my waist, kissing the crook of my neck.

“I missed you,” I whispered, even if it hasn’t been too long since we’ve seen each other.

He was always on my mind, and my addiction to him grew each day, making it hard to go one day without him.

“Getting cheesy now?”

I laughed. “You’re an ass. You missed me too,” I pointed out.

“Yeah, I did,” he mumbled, kissing the sensitive spot underneath my ear and then nibbling on my earlobe.

“Gonna let me in?” I asked, leaning back to look at him again, and he nodded before letting go of me and stepping aside.

“Did you eat?”

“Yeah, I had dinner,” I replied as I entered his house, and before I could ask him if he’d eaten yet, he picked me up and threw me over his shoulder again. I kinda liked this new way of him carrying me to bed.

I laughed, letting my body relax and dangle over his shoulder while he walked down the hall to his bathroom.

Guess he had something planned, because as we entered the bathroom, there were white rose petals all over the room, making me look up and open my mouth in awe.

Riggs let me down slowly, immediately taking off my backpack and setting it aside while I looked around to take everything in.

“Wow…” I whispered, staring out the big windows overlooking the whole city. “This is beautiful,” I told him, turning to look at him now.

“You like it? Thought I’d show you that I can be romantic,” he said, which only made me laugh out loud.

“Keep trying to convince yourself about that, big guy,” I teased, but I did think this was a side of him I’d love to see more often as long as the fucking stays just as rough.

“Shoes off,” he ordered.

And we’re back to normal, I thought, quickly taking off my sneakers and pushing them closer to my backpack on the floor.

I knew the meaning of white flowers, and one aspect of them contradicted who I wasn’t.

Innocent.

Then again, white roses also symbolized new beginnings, which Riggs and I were definitely going through one of them at this moment.

He moved closer to me, his hands cupping my face as he leaned in to kiss me, and while our lips moved against each other’s, I placed my hands on
