Hardin Scott has been madly in love with Tessa Young since the moment he first laid eyes on her, but there's no way she could ever see him as anything more than a friend. After all, he's a bad boy with a promiscuous past and she's a sweet and innoce...
I pull into the parking lot. Tessa and I get out of the car and head to our apartment.
"What a night!" Tessa exclaims as she walks through the door.
"Well, Tess, you were right. I loved my surprise."
"I'm glad," she says as she pulls me down to kiss her.
"I don't want to be greedy, but do I also get my striptease?" I chuckle.
"Maybe if I wasn't so tired," she jokes.
"I could strip for you," I joke back.
"I would like that, but we'll save that for another night. It's already so late and we have to get up for school tomorrow." She drags me to the bedroom.
"Let's skip school tomorrow," I suggest as we change and climb into bed.
"We can't."
"Please? I want to stay in bed with you all day. I've missed you so much."
"I really want to say yes, but I have to be there for Emma."
"That fucking Noah is still ruining my life," I groan.
"Stop." Tessa swats at me playfully. "I feel bad I get to tell Emma that you and I are back together and she gets to continue feeling heartbroken."
"That's not your fault, Tess."
"I still feel guilty that I get to be happy, but she doesn't."
"My sweet, beautiful Tessa," I say as I tuck her hair behind her ear.
"I think I'm going to spend lunch with her again tomorrow."
"But Tessa..." I complain.
"What?"
"We just got back together yesterday and you're already ditching me?"
"Hardin, she needs me."
"So, tell her to join us for lunch."
"Us? As in you, me and her?"
"Yeah."
"Are you serious?"
"Yes, Tessa. Believe it or not, I can be a decent human being. Besides, Emma and I have something in common."
"What?"
"We both hate fucking Noah. We can bond over that."
"Hardin..." Tessa rolls her eyes.
"So, it's settled. You'll spend lunch with me and Emma can join."
"You know, you're sexy when you're all nice and stuff," Tessa says as she runs her fingertips up my arm.
"Oh, I am?"
"Mmm-hmm," she hums.
"Maybe I'll ask her to join us all week. Would that get me a striptease?" I ask seductively.
"Don't push it," she giggles.
"It was worth a try," I chuckle.
"I love you, Hardin. I'm so happy we're us again."
"So am I. Thank you for tonight. I loved seeing that side of you tonight. You were so sexy and I loved that you were in control."
"It was fun," she giggles.
"You should take control more often. You know, whether it's in the car, or the shower, or on that desk, or-"
"Hardin!" she shrieks and hits me with a pillow.
"What? I have big plans for us. Eventually we're going to fuck on or in everything we can."
"Gosh! Is that all you think about?"
"It's hard not to when my girlfriend looks like this." I cup her cheek and rub my thumb across her delicate skin.
"Hardin..." she breathes.
"It's true." I reach to grab the hem of my shirt that she's wearing, hoping I can make love to her for the fifth time since we got back together.
I watch as Tessa stops me and moves closer to me before leaning in to whisper something in my ear. "Goodnight," she giggles and turns over.
"You're such a tease," I chuckle and wrap my arms around her. "I love you, baby."
"I love you, Hardin."
