I smiled and stood up on my tiptoes to place a kiss on his lips. Hunter walked us backwards and pushed me against the lockers. He reached down and grabbed the back of my legs, pulling me up to him. I wrapped my legs around his waist. Hunter slid his hands up and down my ass. I needed more, so I pushed myself until I felt his length pressed hard against my middle. He stopped moving his hands and pushed back against me.
Hunter started kissing from my lips down to my neck before he started nipping on my shoulder. We continued like this for a few minutes before he started sliding me down his body.
“You’re gonna kill me, you know that?” He placed another kiss on my shoulder.
“That would be a shame.”
“Such a smart ass.”
“Learned it from the best!”
“Alright, let’s get back out there before someone comes looking for us. I’m sure Zeke had to save my ass tonight.”
“Sorry, I guess I wasn’t thinking.” I said bashfully.
“Just don’t do that shit to anyone else unless it’s me.” He placed another kiss on my lips before he pulled the door open. I walked through the door and he smacked me on the ass.
Hailey, Gracie, and Zoey called me over. We danced for another hour or so, and then Zeke took us back to the dorms.
My phone woke me early the next morning.
“Morning, Sunshine, get your ass out of bed. I’m outside.” Hunter said. Too chipper for so early.
I groaned. “What the hell are you so happy about? And what time is it anyway?”
“It’s nine a.m. and I want to get home, so get your hot little ass out of bed and get down here.”
I rubbed my eyes with the palms of my hands and hung up the phone.
“Hails, get up; Hunter is here.” I said, walking towards the bathroom.
Thirty minutes later, Hailey and I lugged all our stuff out to Hunter’s truck to head home for Winter break.

I woke the next morning with a fever and an earache. Not how I wanted my break from school to start. I went downstairs and asked my mom to make me a doctor’s appointment.
Two hours later, manned with antibiotics and fever reducer, I hunkered on the couch. Hunter came by to see how I was doing.
He walked in with chicken noodle soup and a movie. My heart melted a little more for him.
I curled up on the couch and rested my head on Hunter’s lap. Hailey, Mason, Cooper, and Jaylinn came home.
Mason narrowed his eyes. “Get up.”
“Mase, don’t start. I don’t feel good.”
“I don’t give a shit. Lay your head on this end.” Really? Is he kidding me?
“Just let her be, man,” Hunter warned.
I tried to defuse the situation. “Are you girls all ready for Christmas tomorrow? All your stuff wrapped?”
“Yeah, we just got back from the mall, getting our last minute things.” Jaylinn said.
“I still have a few more things to wrap. Kenz, come help me with this last one I have,” Hailey asked.
I followed Hailey and Jay upstairs. She pulled me into my room and shoved a bunch of papers under my nose.
Ski passes? The Poconos? This coming weekend.
New Year’s Eve weekend.
The weekend I was going away with Hunter.
She winked at me and said. “I have to keep him busy somehow. There’s only so much I can handle of him before I can’t walk.”
“Oh my God, Hailey! I don’t want to hear about that shit!”
“No really, I told Hunter I would help him. I’m not sure this is going to work but it should since he has no idea you are going away with him.” Hailey said.
I glanced at Jay. Her lip tucked into a frown.
“I don’t have any plans,” she said. “Cooper said he was busy.”
“Coop doesn’t have shit planned, Jaylinn. You guys are coming with us. Just don’t tell him I told you. It’s supposed to be a surprise. And you,” Hailey said pointing at me, “better make this time worth it.”
CHAPTER TWENTY
I woke up Christmas morning feeling slightly better, my fever gone at least. I was so excited; I loved Christmas and I got to spend it with my little nephew. I made it downstairs as Jackson and Chloe arrived, little Alex in tow. I took the car seat from my brother; I couldn’t wait any longer to get my hands on Alex.
“Merry Christmas to you too, Kenzie.” Jackson grumbled.
“I need my nephew first.” I unfastened Alex from the car seat and picked him up. He
