He reaches over and squeezes my thigh. “I’ve by no means wished anybody as a lot as I need you, Hartford.”

My chest constricts and warms at his phrases. “Me both.”

We drive in snug silence as Paxton maneuvers us onto the interstate. However the excessive from the membership disintegrates, and actuality comes crashing again to the floor.

Intercourse is a giant deal. It would enterprise right into a territory from which there isn’t any coming again. I don’t know if our friendship can survive one thing like that.

“You seem like you would possibly explode from considering an excessive amount of.” Paxton’s voice reverberates all through the cab of his Jeep.

I chew on the underside of my lip earlier than I put my jumbled ideas out into the world. “I’m simply questioning if we would have—”

He cuts in, “Moved too quick. We’ve got damaged each rule, besides one. Possibly we shouldn’t break it. Is that what you’re considering?”

“You’re not mad, are you?”

Paxton grasps my hand. “Hartford, I may by no means be mad at you. Our friendship is a very powerful factor on the earth to me.”

“I really feel the identical. I simply don’t need something to…” My phrases fall away.

“I do know,” he says, bringing my hand to his lips. He kisses my knuckles earlier than returning my hand to my lap.

He strikes each fingers to the steering wheel and focuses on the highway. As soon as once more, silence falls over us. This time, it’s not so snug. It leaves me with a horrible feeling. I need Paxton greater than something, however I can’t bear the considered jeopardizing our friendship.

We arrive at his place and head inside. We’re each silent as we alter garments and prepare for mattress.

“Simply sleep within the mattress with me,” I inform him when he takes a pillow from the mattress.

“You positive?”

I nod. “Sure.” I need to really feel near him. After what occurred tonight, I must lie with him. Or possibly I want him to lie with me. Let me know we didn’t destroy something.

He removes his T-shirt, leaving on his grey sweatpants. They trip low on his lean hips, and I can see the big define of his dick by the cotton materials. Now I’m turned on.

His inexperienced gaze travels over my sleep shorts and white tank prime, and it takes all my willpower to climb into the mattress as a substitute of begging him to have intercourse with me. The cool sheets are a balm to my overheated pores and skin as I slide beneath the comforter. My physique remains to be buzzing with the power from the membership tonight, and I’m wondering if Paxton feels the identical.

He climbs into mattress and lies on his facet to face me. “Did you see that one dude on the membership?”

I face him, mimicking his place. “The man with the purple hair and purple tuxedo?”

Paxton laughs, and the sound of it vibrates by my physique. “Yeah, surprise what his deal was.”

“He regarded like a pimp straight from the 90s.” I giggle into my pillow. “I saved considering he ought to have the platform footwear.”

“Yeah, with the goldfish swimming within the backside.”

We’re each hysterical now.

“May you think about?”

Our laughter dies out, and we’re left watching one another. A small a part of me needs Paxton would speak to me like he did on the membership. Okay, a giant a part of me desires that.

He tenderly sweeps a bit of my hair from my face and secures it behind my ear. “I can’t recover from how fairly you’re, Hartford. The opposite ladies in highschool will need to have been so jealous.”

“They have been jealous as a result of they wished to hang around with you.”

He shakes his head barely, propping up on his elbow as he looms over me. “No, they have been jealous of how stunning you’re, as a result of you’re the prettiest fucking lady I’ve ever met.”

My cheeks warmth as he strikes nearer. I swear he’s going to kiss me, and I need it so badly that I practically say a fast prayer to whoever could also be lurking above to let it occur. “I don’t assume that’s true,” I whisper.
