If I’m being honest, no. I don’t want to just date a guy for only sex. As amazing as sex with you was, if there was never anything else to connect us emotionally, then I wouldn’t want to even try.

Baby, I left my mind behind in your arms. So, if you’re telling me you want more than just sex, then I must have died, and this is my perfect personal hell. Don’t you dare back out now.

I took a shaky breath before I sent my last message. Exhaustion was taking hold, and I had at least another twenty minutes of cleanup to do.

Then, let’s do this. You tell me when and where, and I’ll be there.

Friday, 8 p.m. There is an alleyway across from Ghouls that’s safe to park in, but it’s not lit. Meet you there, baby girl.

With that, I hurried and cleaned the rest of the kitchen and living room. I locked the doors and dragged myself to bed.

For the next week leading up to our date, my dreams and DMs were plagued by the sexiest skeleton king I’d ever met.

Eight Months Later

“Ladies and gentlemen, Ipresent your graduating class of 2024!”

The group went wild as all the graduates threw their hats into the air, all but one, who was currently sauntering off the sidelines into the school’s administration building. My heart thudded in my chest. I knew exactly who was sneaking away from the crowd. I would know Kain’s body anywhere. But before I could follow him and finally talk to him privately after all these months, there was one thing I needed to do. Congratulate my son before he disappeared for an evening of partying with his friends.

I waved him over and gave him a kiss on the cheek, much to his dismay, and I laughed as I pulled him in for a tight hug.

“Mom, you’ve really got to stop doing that!” He chuckled as he gave me a hug back.

I swore he had grown another half a foot since school had started. He loomed over me, but whenever I showed him my famous mom stare, he shrank in size.

“You let me shower you with love all I want, mister. Soon, you’re going to be off to college, and then who will I pester?” I pretended to be stern with him as I tapped a finger against his chest.

He gave me a sheepish smile and ran his fingers through his hair. “Yeah, yeah. I know. I guess I’ll let it slide this time. But, hey, the guys and I are going to take off here in a few minutes. Is that cool?”

I nodded and gave him a little shove in his friends’ direction. I had already gotten photos with him before the ceremony.

“Go! Shoo! Have fun, stay safe, and I’ll see you at home later.”

With a wave, he jogged over to his friends, and they pushed through their classmates toward the parking lot. I turned and walked in the opposite direction, pushing open the doors to the building Kain had walked through minutes before. I looked around the deserted hallways of the school.

Where the heck could he be?

The building was deadly quiet as I made my way down the hall, but just as I was about to pass the men’s restroom, the door swung open. In an instant, a hand yanked me inside, and another covered my mouth, breaking the scream that had started in my throat.

“Hush now. You wouldn’t want the entire school to know what a dirty little freak you are, would you, baby girl?”

My eyes snapped to him. Even without his face paint, Kain was way too damn handsome to be only eighteen. I scowled at him, and he slid his hand down to my throat, stroking it softly as he reached over and locked the restroom door.

“What are you doing, Kain?” I asked as I fixed my hair.

He smirked at me, licking his lower lip.
