Page 79 of Landon & Shay: Part Two

Her lips flashed with a small smile before she held her hand out toward me. “Then we have a deal? We can be fuck acquaintances?”

I laughed at the term but held my hand out in her direction. “I think I can adhere to your guidelines.”

We shook on it.

“This is good, because that means I can stop with the dreams I’ve been having,” she said, making me cock another eyebrow.

“You’ve been having dreams about me?”

She bit her bottom lip and hid the grin that was trying to push itself out. “We don’t have to talk about that.”

“Oh, but I really want to talk about that.”

She opened her car door and slid inside. “Too bad. Not going to happen.”

“So, when do we get started on this little arrangement?”

“There’s no time like the present. I would give you my address, but it appears you already know where I live. So, if you happen to show up there in about thirty minutes, I wouldn’t fight letting you in. Eleanor won’t be home tonight. She’s staying by Greyson’s. Oh!” She held a hand up. “That’s another rule. No sleepovers ever.”

“I’ll race you there,” I joked, shoving my hands into my coat pockets.

“Good, and Landon?”

“Yes?”

“Bring your a-game. I don’t want the whiskey party to be the best sex I’ve ever had. I want better each and every time.”

“Don’t worry, Chick. I’m bringing my a-game, along with some extra credit. There’s so much I want to show you.”

I loved how shy she grew every now and then. She combed her hair behind her ears, and pulled the door shut. “Okay. I’ll see you soon.”

Yes, she’d be seeing me soon, and I’d be tasting every piece of her.

Dr. Smith probably would’ve advised me against having a strictly sexual relationship with Shay. He would’ve brought up all the reasons it would be a mistake down the line, but luckily Dr. Smith didn’t have to know. There was no way I was going to pass up a way of connecting with Shay—even if it was strictly physical.

Maybe down the line, that could change.

Maybe down the line, she’d think about letting me back into her heart and allowing me to stay for a while.

Shay

“Jameson Landon Jacobs,”Raine revealed twelve hours after Landon and I left the hospital. Landon and I spent the night together doing anything but sleeping, and he wasn’t kidding about bringing his a-game and extra credit along with him.

Landon rocked my world in every single direction possible, leaving me with sore legs and blushing cheeks.

We’d only left my apartment when we received a text from Hank that Raine had delivered their son. We headed over to the hospital right away to meet the bundle of joy.

Jameson was in the NICU, due to him entering the world early, but he was doing really well. The four of us stood in his closed-off area and stared down at him as if he were the one brought into the world to save humanity. He was perfect in every single way.

They named him Jameson, because Raine’s parents named her after the town she was born in. To keep that tradition going, the two new parents named their son after the liquor he was conceived with. Always keeping it classy.

“Landon?” Landon questioned, raising an eyebrow to our friends.

“Yes. We wanted to name him after his godfather. If you’re interested in that role at least,” Raine said. “If not, let me know because I think I still have time to change his name,” she joked.

Landon smiled and looked down at Jameson. “It would be my honor.”
