It’s nice, you know,” Finn says gently stroking my hair.

I press my index finger into the shadow of his dimple, and my stomach flip flops. “What’s that?” I ask.

I am wrapped like a burrito into the plush comforter, meanwhile Finn lays on the bed with nothing shielding him from the cold.

Charlie, much like Finn, keeps the air too cold. And on top of that, Finn cracked open the window in our bedroom—for the time being—and it’s a whopping fifty-eight degrees outside.

“Seeing you so happy.” The mattress dips when he whispers in my ear.

“Can you tell?” I respond absentmindedly, too distracted by the eight-pack staring back at me.

“You really like it here.”

“I love it here,” I admit, feeling a crack begin to form in my heart. Knowing one day this place, and these people will be a distant memory. A week here flew by in the blink of an eye.

“We have at least three more weeks, love. Depending on if your mom stays longer. Besides, we can come back to visit.” He kisses my temple, then slowly peels the covers off my body. My skin pebbles against the cold but not for long because Finn shimmies his way on top of me and pulls the fabric over us. His breath is warm against my face, I can’t see him beneath the comforter, but I know his lips are close. So very close.

The smooth pad of his thumb brushes over my bottom lip then along my jaw. My eyes flutter closed when his finger trickles down my pulse. Lower. I want to plead. His lips brush mine softly. He kisses me slow, his touch is tentative along my sternum, down my ribs, but he doesn’t touch the areas that ache for him.

I need more. He swallows my frustrated groan, walks his fingers up my chest, squeezes my breast over the fabric of my shirt.

Yes.

His lips leave mine but only to move down my neck. Something hot builds in my core, and then he places a kiss to the area right below my breast. My heart picks up faster, like my body is subtly cluing me in on the fact that I’m falling in love every moment we spend like this.

I’ve always loved him. We’re best friends, how could I not? But now I’m sinking into a never ending pit I don’t think I’ll ever be free from. I’m words on a page falling so deeply in love.

His rough, calloused hand lifts the hem of my shirt, scraping against my stomach as he moves up, grabs my breast, then stops.

He sighs, pulls my shirt down. He places a gentle kiss to my forehead. He leaves his place from on top of me.

I stare at the ceiling blankly, trying to catch my breath. Finn turns off the lamp and gathers me in his arms. There’s an obvious bulge pressing against my back, but for some reason he doesn’t do anything about it. He doesn’t let his own desires control him; he’s the same gentleman he’s always been.
