I smiled. “Okay, so then dig in.”

Hassani inhaled an audible deep breath.

“You are so dramatic.” I leaned forward and picked up a slice from his plate. “Say ah.”

He licked his lips and leaned forward, opening his mouth just enough for me to slide the point of the pizza slice in. He bit down, pulled off a tiny piece, then started chewing.

At first, hesitant.

But after a second of chewing, he looked up at me and blinked hard.

I smirked. “I know.”

“Yo,” he started. He grabbed the slice from my hand, brought it to his mouth again, and took an even bigger bite. His eyes widened after that one. “Yoooo!”

“See?”

“This is actually really good, baby!”

“Mm-hmm.” I hummed, stuffing the rest of my pizza into my mouth. “Told you.”

“It’s like…” He took another bite and moaned. “I can’t even?—”

“Describe it?” I grinned. “I know. And I love that it’s impossible to put a name to it. It’s like a mystery party in my mouth.”

I sighed, staring down at the rest of my pizza adoringly. “I can’t believe I’ve gone this long without having you.”

“You used to always get this when you’d tutor me when we went to Garvey,” Hassani recalled.

“Every time.”

We stared at each other for a moment, his hazel-green eyes catching the light of the afternoon sun.

Something about the way he looked at me made me blush.

“I love you, baby,” Hassani said.

“I love you.”

That night, when we returned to the lodge, we laid in bed, talking until we fell asleep… Hassani holding me close.

Days three and four were just as adventurous.

Before heading south, we hiked in Lake Placid, surrounded by the breathtaking Adirondack Mountains. Then, we drove down to Virginia and woke up to a view of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

The night before that morning view, though?

Something about the sounds of nature surrounding us did something to us.

Something really good.

Too good… because it challenged the hell out of that damn abstinence rule, Dr. Aldridge had us agree to uphold.

“Oh, my God.” Hassani groaned. “I swear I can smell your pussy through your shorts, baby.”

I flashed a teasing grin. “You want me to get up?”

“I want to fuck you,” he growled.
