The day had been so much better than I’d anticipated. Perhaps it was the company. I really liked everyone in this group, which was saying a lot because most people annoyed me after a while.

It could also be that I was just in a good mood from all the fabulous sex I’d had last night.

The postcoital daze.

The orgasmic bliss.

Either way, it had been a great day. Cutler was by far the cutest kid I’d ever met. Cool and quirky and uniquely himself.

I’d changed clothes and was just finishing eating a cookie that Demi insisted I try because she’d made them, and she wouldn’t tell any of us what was in them.

“Should Cutler be eating these special cookies?” Nash teased, because they’d all asked if they were cannabis cookies.

“Hey, Pops. It’s Beefcake. And I like the cookies,” he said, leaning his head against my arm as he sat next to me on the bench by the fire pit.

“Fine. I’ll tell you. These cookies you all love so much are made with applesauce and gluten-free flour.” Demi beamed.

The guys all groaned, and Peyton, Saylor, and I all told her how fabulous they were.

“I’m going to hit it. How about you pack me up a few to drop off with Lionel? I’m heading over to the hospital now,” River said.

I turned, and my gaze locked with his. “I’m going there, as well.”

“Well, what do you know… you’re both going to the same place,” Kingston teased.

River flashed him the bird before turning his attention to me. “Did you walk here?”

“Yes.” I raised a brow.

“You want a ride to the hospital? We’re both going to the same place.”

My heart raced, per usual, and I was considering talking to a doctor about a medication to get this madness to stop.

But how do you medicate yourself for something that only happens around one particular man?

I’d caught him staring at me several times today, and that was only because I couldn’t seem to stop looking at him.

River Pierce was not the guy you fell for.

He was heartache just waiting to happen.

The professor was the kind of guy you went all in on. There was no room for heartache there. And that was how I liked it.

“No, thanks. I prefer to walk.”

His lips turned up in the corners just the slightest bit. “Suit yourself. See you there.”

Demi handed him a baggie of cookies for my father, and we both said our goodbyes to everyone and walked out toward his car in silence. He paused when he reached for the door handle and dangled the keys around on his finger.

“Last chance. It’s awfully warm out here today,” he said.

“I like the sun,” I lied. My shoulders were sunburned, and I was overheated from all my time in the water today.

“Said no vampire ever.”

“Can you not come up with anything else than calling me a bloodsucker?”

“Sure. I think you’re an amazing cocksucker.”

A laugh escaped my lips, and I quickly corrected myself and started walking before shouting my lame response over my shoulder.
