And fuck if that isn’t the truth. Never in my twenty-five years of life did I think I would end up with a man or be bisexual. But even more than that? I never thought I would be open to love. Sex with Finn has always made sense, and I fought thelove he was giving me and pulling out of me in equal measure as hard as I could. But I’ve never been able to fight Finn and win. For that, I’m so fucking thankful. He’s my person in every single way.
Finn laughs and it’s the best damn sound I’ve ever heard.
“A green alien would be pretty cool, though,” he says.
“Honestly, I’m only slightly disappointed that you aren’t,” I reply with humor. “You ready?”
“Yeah, take me out, lover. I don’t remember the last time I saw sunshine.”
“Hate to break it to ya, baby, you live in Aspen Ridge now, and that shit doesn’t come out often. Hope you like overcast, moody skies.”
“Looks like I’m just gonna have to ’cause you’re here. I wouldn’t be anywhere else.”
“You’ll love it.”
“I already do.”
Finn smacks my ass hard as I crawl out of the bed, growling as I turn around to face him.
“What was that for?” I snap.
“I’m still pissed at you for branding that fine ass, Hayes.”
A laugh bubbles up from deep within me. “Yeah, well, take it up with my asshole brothers, Nash.”
While Finn goes to shower and pull himself together, I power on my phone to text the group chat our plans and see if any of them are free.
Me: Finn and I are getting drinks at The Night Owl
