“Get out of your head,” she whispers against my lips. “And come back to me.”

With a growl, I push her onto her back, and she huffs a delighted laugh when I bring my mouth to her neck, biting and sucking the delicious skin there.

“You taste like cookies,” I half chuckle, half groan to her, and she giggles.

She fuckinggiggles, the sound so beautiful and melodic that I struggle to not confess my feelings to her, to word vomit every lovesick thought I have of her.

Instead, I keep my mouth busy.

She arches her back as I touch her, my hand pulling the collar of her sweater aside while the other trails down her stomach. She flinches as I graze my fingers along her navel, and I realize with delight that she’s ticklish.

“Wait…Liam…” she breathes, and I freeze my movements. “What if someone sees?”

I lean on my forearms and look at her, smirking. “The park is all ours for a few hours.”

She raises an eyebrow. “Wait—you rented out thepark?”

The surprise in her eyes makes me second guess my decision, and my confidence starts to wane.

Stupid, lovesick boy.

Pathetic.

“I did,” I say slowly. “They accepted a donation. It will help the ducks,” I sputter, unsure of what else to say.

Then, she barks out a laugh. “As long as it helps the ducks,” she mutters. She runs a hand through my hair, tugging at my scalp, and a content purr rumbles through my chest.

My cock has grown painfully hard, and I adjust the weight on my forearms, hoping she doesn’t notice the bulge in my jeans.

I have the urge to steal her away and hide her from Donovan and Hunter.

I would worship her. I would be so good to her if she would just let meloveher?—

“Liam.” Her breathless voice snaps me out of my thoughts. “Touch me.”

I groan in response.

She doesn’t have to tell me twice.

APRIL

The park is breathtaking.

Almost as stunning as the fire in Liam’s eyes as he kisses me and runs his hands under my sweater, groping my breasts.

There’s something primal about being out in the open like this, the crisp air and Liam’s scent invading my nostrils while his hands are everywhere.

His tongue tangles with mine as he groans, his purr rumbling as I thrust up against him.

I’ll never get enough of him.

His cock is hard against my core, and I squirm and move under him, desperate for friction.

“I…” his breath catches as he moans into my neck. “I need to taste you. I need…”

“Yes,” I hiss. “Yes, lick me, Liam.”
