He attacks my neck with playful kisses and bites. The doorbell rings, and he stills, lips still on my neck.
“Expecting someone?” he asks.
“That’s probably just Declan. I called him about a threesome,” I say casually.
He’s quiet as if he’s giving my words deep thought.
“Oh my god, I’m kidding.”
He jumps up to get the door. “I thought you’d be more into two girls with one guy, but two guys?” He bobs his head. “I can get down with that as long as we don’t cross swords.”
He opens the door, and when Declan’s voice sounds from the other side, I have to slap a hand over my mouth to stop laughing. I grab a bottle of lube from the coffee table from our earlier activities and creep from my position on the couch toward my room in case Declan comes into the apartment.
“What’s up, man?” Mav asks.
“Thought I’d see if you want to hang out. My internet’s down.”
“Oh, uh…” Mav sneaks a look at me. I nod, encouraging him, then toss the lube in his room, and pop back out to say hi to Declan. I give them the living room and go to my room. One of the downfalls of us hanging out every night and keeping our relationship a secret is that he hasn’t spent that much time with the guys, and I know he needs to bond with his new teammates.
I sit on my bed, smiling as I hear the guys talking in the living room.
It almost feels like we’re really dating. Weird.
I’m not overthinking it. Johnny has a way about him that makes me not obsess too much about the details. Maybe it’s his “it’s whatever” personality rubbing off on me, or maybe I just have too much fun with him to dissect it. No matter the reason, I’m going to enjoy the hell out of the rest of the summer.

Heath: You and Dakota? Tell me it’s true.
Adam: Oh, it’s true.
Rhett: Yeah, congrats, buddy, but while we’re on the topic of your awesome new relationship, I’m going to need you to take it down a notch. You’re making me look bad, and I have plans that I need you not to fuck up for me.
Maverick: Kota told me she told them and that she told them NOT to tell you. Your girlfriends are all terrible at keeping secrets. And what the hell are you talking about, Rauthruss?
Heath: I’m a little hurt that Ginny knew before me. I want my BFF necklace back.
Adam: Seriously, Mav. Why are you holding out on us?
Maverick: I wasn’t sure if we were telling people. And unlike your girls, I’m an awesome secret keeper.
Adam: You’re so fucked. You’ve got it bad.
Rhett: Dakota sent the girls a picture of the dresses you bought her. I can’t compete with Oscar de la Renta and Valentino.
Heath: Who the fuck is Oscar de la whatever?
Adam: He bought Dakota a bunch of expensive dresses all Pretty Woman style.
Maverick: I wanted her to have options. Which one did she choose? She won’t tell me.
Heath: I just asked Ginny, but she won’t say.
Adam: Reagan either.
Rhett: Sienna’s not here, but if Dakota swore them to secrecy, she won’t tell me.
