          “Sure, that sounds like fun,” I exhale, “But I need clean clothes and a shower first. Is it okay if we stop by my Aunt’s house for a bit? She lives near here.”

            “Absolutely,” he squeezes my hand, “I think our waitress is getting a bit tired of our presence here, anyways.”

            I laugh and follow him back to the car. I can’t believe how well I’m getting along with Finn. I expected an awkward lunch and cheap food, but the Harries really know how to show a girl a good time. While I’m sitting in the passenger seat, I try and decide whether this whole situation is weird.

            I had sex with Jack last night, and then went on a date with his brother today. It is weird. I shake my head and remind myself that Jack was drunk and Finn is being a sweetheart. Nothing is weird about this. I give Finn directions to the house and the closer we get the more anxious I become.

            “Do you want to come inside?” I ask him when the car is in the driveway.

            He shrugs, “Yeah, why not?”

            I bite my lip and lead him to the front door. I don’t have a key so I knock a couple times and turn to face him. His hands are tucked inside his pockets and he’s smiling gently down towards me.

            “My family can be a bit… much sometimes. I’m sorry if they come on too strong,” I warn him.

            “I know how you feel, believe me,” he steps closer to me on the front porch, “My family is a little overwhelming too.”

            I think back to Jack and nod my head in agreement… he is certainly overwhelming. My eyes meet with Finn’s while I hear someone shuffling around the inside of the house. One of my relatives is moving closer to the door, about to let us in. Finn’s stare is deepening with longing and I feel like my knees are about to give out.

            I push up on my toes so that my lips can connect with his. His fingers intertwine with mine and his other hand rests against my cheek. Finn’s lips are firm and locked on mine. He pulls me closer and I’m about to lose myself in his touch when the doorknob turns.

            I take a giant step back and Aunt Carrie is now standing at the front door, her eyes passing between Finn and me.

            I look at her and search for the right words, “Hi, Aunt Carrie. This is Finn.”

            She nods her head once and holds back a dirty smile, “Nice to meet you, Finn. And it’s nice to see you too, Ashley.”

            I wince at her remark as I walk into the house. I turn to look at Finn and realize that his eyes are already on me. I don’t know why I just kissed him. Everything happened so fast and he seemed okay with it, but is he? I can’t distinguish his stare from that of yearning or anger.

            “What have you two been doing all day?” my Aunt wonders.

            Finn brightens his stare and looks to my Aunt Carrie, “We had lunch and spent some time chatting. Your niece is a wonderful girl.”

            I smile when I see my Aunt blush helplessly at Finn, “Oh, well… That’s just delightful. How long will you two be staying? Would you like some coffee?”

            “Finn and his brother invited me to a small party tonight,” I tell her, “So we’re only here long enough for me to shower and change.”

            “I would love some coffee while I’m waiting, though,” Finn chimes.

            My Aunt’s smile grows bigger, “Great! Follow me.”

            She gives me a tickled, wide eyed glance when she’s passing me. Once she’s out of the room, Finn slowly brushes past. His eyes find me while his hand connects with mine. He gives me a reassuring look and smirks before following my Aunt into the kitchen.

            I turn the heat up in the shower so that steam fills the room. I stand underneath the faucet and let hot water pour down my body, trying to distract my mind from the Harries. I keep reminding myself that I’m the one that kissed Finn. Finn didn’t kiss me. It wasn’t a mutual kiss… and even if it was, nothing could happen there. It would be too weird.

            I sigh heavily when I get out of the shower. I brush out my hair and wrap myself in towels, not knowing what to wear at this party tonight. When I step out into the hallway, I try to listen for Finn and my Aunt conversing downstairs over cups of coffee. I can’t hear either of their voices and I’m unsure about what’s going on.

            I open the door to the guest bedroom where I’ll be staying for the next two weeks. Finn is sitting on the side of the bed, his hands folded into his lap and a big, child-like grin on his face.

            “What are you doing in here?” I smile back at him.

            “Your Aunt rushed out of the house and said that you needed to call her soon,” his eyes lower and focus on the towel wrapped around my body.

            My heart is sputtering inside of my chest as I approach him. I can tell by the excited look in his eye that the feeling is mutual. I can’t believe it. I feel mostly shocked more than any other emotion right now. I don’t know what to do. Is it okay to do this… with Finn?

            His hand reaches up cautiously until he finds the tucked in part of my towel. I take in a chest full of air and look him in his gorgeous eyes. Why not? I feel closer to Finn than I ever did with Jack. I barely had a conversation with Jack before I jumped into his bed! This is okay.

            Finn pulls on my towel and it drops to the floor, exposing my nude, wet body. I can feel his hands on each side of my hips, pulling me closer to him. His hands are tender and so are his lips. He’s kissing and caressing my breasts while I close my eyes and moan in pleasure. After the time I’ve spent with Finn today, this moment feels so surreal. I love it.

            He scoots back on the bed and slides off his shirt and hoodie at the same time. His body is flawless and toned and I can’t stop staring. I crawl onto the bed, straddling his hips and wrapping my arms around his neck. His hands find my breasts again and I sigh between kisses. Finn knows how to use his hands.

            He suddenly turns me over onto my back. My head sinks into the pillow at the top of the bed. He unbuttons his pants and pulls them down along with his boxers. With his pants around his ankles, he leans over me again. He gives me the same devilish smile that Jack gave me last night and I groan internally.

            Finn moves himself inside of me while my hands are on his jawline. He stares at me attentively between the kisses I give him. His lips start to tremble as he pushes deeper into me. I get louder and louder the faster he starts to move. Finn nuzzles his face into my neck, spreading his perfect lips down to my shoulder. My whole body is tingling with pleasure and Finn can tell.

            “Finn…” I pant, “Oh my God, Finn…”
