"Hey, I'm going to go to the store," I say, ready to book it the fuck out of there.

Finch sits up. "I'll come with."

"Sorry, bud. Liquor run."

"Do you think you could..."

"Going away present? Sure."

"I'll tell Val you left when she gets out of the shower."

I salute him and he copies.

Quinn meets me at the back door. It's easy to get from there to the stairs with little interference. It's how I got to Quinn's room the other day. No one saw me even though they were all downstairs. He holds a finger up to his lips and grabs my wrist the moment I get inside. While we rush through the house, I run my other hand up and down his back to try and mess with him.

The moment he closes his bedroom door, I'm getting pressed against it. "Fuck you." is whispered against my lips right before his lips crash into mine. It's got every last ounce of that argument to it. It's gasoline to the fire in my stomach.

He pulls away and I sigh. Pure disappointment. He's kissing my jaw and then moving down to my neck. When I realize what he's doing, I push him away. "Not happening. Summer at a lake is not fit for hickeys that have to get covered."

"What about those scratches you left?" He mumbles, getting closer again.

My fingers lace into the back of his hair. "Babe, hickeys are a bit more blatant."
