ＴＨＩＲＴＹ ＳＥＶＥＮ

A week later, the four of us were on the highway in an RV heading to Vermont.

Kate insisted on driving because she said she was curious what it was like to drive a RV. Sam, with whom she got along surprisingly well, was sitting right next to her and singing along to a silly song. Matt and I were in the back, separated from the driver's seat by a blue curtain, and honestly, we had no complaints about it. Thanks to the old-fashioned, scary, blue curtain. 

He hid us perfectly. So when I lie down on the mustard-colored leather upholstery and put on my headphones, one knee may slightly graze his every time the van rocks.

As the bright sun of the spring morning turned his dark eyes into soft amber, he gently placed one hand on my knee and placed my leg across his crotch. I froze but didn't want to ruin the moment. Matt was just sitting and I was laying down, nothing weird.

I smiled at him, took out one of my headphones and placed it in his ear, letting Matt's hand run into my hair. He caressed me gently, his eyes searching my face from top to bottom, looking at me as if I were his baby. Damn, I felt valued. This was not the kind of value Kate or any other woman gave. It was completely raw. Pure desire was written on his face. Sparks were flowing between us.

"Are you not afraid?" I asked, just with my lips, without making a sound. I looked into his eyes and said, "Aren't you afraid of them seeing us like this?"

Matt just nodded. While the caravan was in motion, he leaned his head back on the seat, took his eyes off mine for a moment, and stared at the ceiling, his fingers grazing my upper leg as he thought about something. I was wearing basketball shorts and his rough fingertips were making my skin tingle. Every small movement caused another spasm. In my belly, in my groin, in my soul.

"I feel like I've never felt..." He swallowed as his fingers grazed my hips over the top of my loosened basketball shorts, "Alive."

Is this what love is like? 

Because if so, that's the only way I can describe how I feel about him. I pressed my leg tightly against his groin while his gentle hands rubbed my hips. I felt his erection start to harden under my knee.

Damn it, Vermont, please come faster.

We had a quick arrival in Vermont. Matt and I didn't have time to appreciate the beauty of the surroundings because we fell asleep on that couch the rest of the way. We were lucky Sam and Kate didn't find us like that, Matt was able to wake up before me and get our asses together.

"God, I never thought Vermont would look like this," Kate said as everyone got out of the van, "I can't believe I've never been here before."

"Now you're here," Sam told her, "Guys, you're going to the trunk and Kate and I are exploring around."

"Isn't it a little early for this, Sam? That's not fair," I asked, following Matt as he wandered around the van to get to the trunk.

Still, she and Kate disappeared, already holding hands. It was hard to believe they got along so well. When I told Kate that Sam was dating Matt, she almost hated her. But a lot of water has flowed from those days. After all, we were here, all of us. And if they were going to get along, I was fine with that.

"Did you like here?" Wearing a pair of sunglasses, Matt grinned as he unpacked one of our suitcases.

"This is an incredible place," I said, reaching for the suitcases. "Does this belong to your family?"

"Uh-huh." As I reached for a Louis Vuitton that belonged to Kate, I froze when Matt placed his hand over mine. He leaned towards me, his breath tickling behind my ear, "Then take a closer look here, because you'll see it more often in the future."
