River would be too easy to fall for. I knew it already.

A smile curled over his face, and I melted a little. “As long as you’ll let me.”

“How big a box of condoms did you bring?” I asked, feeling a little more shy about that than the rest of what we’d talked about.

“I might have filled my entire backpack with them on a whim?”

I laughed. “You didn’t.”

His smile turned smug. “I guess you won’t know until we open it.”

“You didn’t bring a change of clothes, nothing?” His lack of clothing was more amusing to me than anything else.

“Maybe I planned on spending the night naked.” His eyes were alight with amusement.

“How long were you planning on spending up here?” I couldn’t imagine hiking up to someone’s cabin on a whim, but it was flattering, and I liked the bravado even if the fling would be short-lived.

“As long as you’d let me, I told you as much. But my plans do not require clothes.”

“Not even to write in?”

“Nope.”

“Quite full of yourself.” I liked teasing him. “Now let me see what’s in your backpack.”

He rolled his eyes but handed it over.

River Wade

He took the backpack from my hands, narrowing his eyes.

"I won't ever lie to you, Emory." Not with as serious as I was about him.

He studied my face but didn't say anything. His silence didn't bother me. I could tell already he liked to process things before he spoke. A little like Iris. I'd let him take his time and not push for words before he was ready.

I risked entering his space again and stroked his face. "Check it."

He unzipped the backpack and gasped eyes growing to the size of an owls. Entirely endearing.

"How many is this?"

"I don't know. A hundred maybe." I laughed and he joined me.

He closed one eye. “How long do you have?”

"You're not doing the math are you?"

"That's like fourteen a day if you’re here a week…" The cutest smirk took his mouth. "Seems like a challenge."

I grabbed him again, kissing him. "You should put one on me right now, we wouldn't want to waste any more time."

He retrieved one from the backpack, ripping the foil before taking me back out of my boxers to roll the cool latex over my shaft. Emory broke the kiss and glanced around the space around us.

"Have you never had sex in here before?"

"No."
